Extreme lethargy, exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, occasional dizziness, anguish, headaches after taking Warfarin for 4 months, average dose 7.5 to 8.0mg daily. Doctor and nurse said problems might be due to Tramadol I was taking at same time (for arthritic pain), but when I stopped the Tramadol for two weeks, there was no change. Doctor and nurse said NOT a side effect of Warfarin, but when I stopped taking Warfarin for a week, the symtoms went away and my family saw right away that I was "back to normal". I am very upset that these very distressing side effects of Warfarin are not stated on packaging or by medical profession. I know of two other cases similar to mine in the UK.

Hi, ihave been on warfarin for 4months now and had the occasional dizy day, but for the last four days continuously dizzy like a wave going through my head. I just got the leaflet out the medication box and theres no mention of it as a side effect. I should be off it in 2 months but this really is awful and quite scary at times.
