My dad was started on warfarin for DVT's and PE's after his surgery. He said every time he took a 5mg warfarin he felt dizzy and lightheaded, got very tired and got headaches. My sister said by law, GENERIC medicine only has to have 85% of the medicine in it and can be 15% filler. So we got him changed to name brand coumadin and he hasn't had any of those side effects since. May be worth a try.......

I started getting very painful headaches shortly after starting warfarin.My blood never thinned only dropped lower. I was put up too 25mg, a my levels or at 1.1. My doctor says my headaches are not from warfarin. But I feel they are. I stopped taking my meds and headache stopped also.tammy from MN
