I'm 39 and have been on Coumadin for about a month. Was diagnosed...

OMG I could have written this myself. Everything you said is excatly what I am going through right now. I hate coumadin but was told i have no choice. how are you?

I am 27 and am on my 1st sample pack. I just got my period and feel DEPRESSSED. I have never felt so down and TIRED. I noticed an increase in anxiety as well. If people are having problems with blood clots that is a SERIOUS problem. I plan on switching back to Apri. I hoped to releive my sx for the 2 wks before my period but Yaz is not for me. A clot can cause a pumlonary embolism, stroke, heart attack....Google the Howmans sign and have someone perform it on you if you have cramping in your leg.

I came across this web site looking for side effects of Coumadin, never knowing I would find this. I am 37 years old and recently spent 9 days in the hospital after the emergency room doctor finding a pulmonary embolism on my right lung caused by YAZ. I have been on birth control for years, but have never had any issues. I was only on Yaz for 4-6 months and then this hit me. I am healthy, I exercise regularly and I don't smoke or drink. There has to be something in that pill that effects women that the drug companies are not disclosing.

I would love to find out how many women have been diagnosed with Pulmonary embolism or clots in the legs due to Yaz.

I am wondering if anyone has started a law suit against the company.

If you know, please let me know, as I would like to be involved. My personal email is itfoundme69@aol.com

I got a dvt from birth control pills when I was 26, 15 years later I found out I have Factor V Leiden.

I am 51 and had multiple PE's in both lungs, following a DVT in my calf from using a nuvaring for menopausal symptoms...not other lifestyle issues that could have resulted in the dvt. I have joint pain in my arms and hands, numbness and tingling in fingers nuch of the time and excema springing up on my eyelinds, where I had it long ago...This medication is awful, assuming that it is causing all of these things. I have bee told to lose about 20 pounds. I am eating little and nothing is moving. I have to be on wafarin until April.

The only medical provider that has recognized these symptos was a Phys.Assist. who was on the hospital staff when I was in for 5 days in OCtober who had been on it due to a DVT and and adn not to be surprised about anything.
Has anyone had a Dr actually acknowledge that the med causes all of these things????

Just like most of you, I came across this web site looking for side effects of Coumadin. I am 38 years old and in Feb 2008, I was hospitalized due to a embolic stroke caused by YAZ. I was on YAZ for about 6 to 8 months before I had a massive stroke which put me in a coma for 3 days. I can't believe so many people have been effected by YAZ, this drug should be reported as deadly...it almost killed me. Only because of the grace of God, am I here to write this message.

Like everyone else, I too came across this website looking for side effects to the drug Warafin. I have gained a total of 10 pounds in the past month since starting this drug. I have taken the bcp Yaz for several years now, and it caused a DVT in my left arm, which has now left me with taking this rat poison they call Warafin. It is saving my life....but yet causing all these side effects at the same time. Is there not another drug that we could be put on that doesn't involve so many high risks?? And what about Yaz that brought this on to begin with....I had no idea how many problems it has caused so many people until I began reading these blogs. Something needs to be done!! I am only 24 years old, getting a blood clot is VERY rare at my age!

YAZ is responible for my blood clot to my right lung iam now calling a lawyer to see if i have a case to sue.
