I was taking warfarin for about 2 months 8 mg daily due to a blood clot in my left arm, i also have witnessed headaches, dizziness, always tired and fatigue. I also told the doctor about all this and he said it's not the medicine, I don't know what else it could of been because i wasn't taking any other medication. my life remained the same as previous with the exception of the warfarin. Anyway, i discontinued taking the medication because it was killing me to take it. I will now have to take my chances.

Hi Kumarie. Please don`t stop taking the med in total - start taking it again and seek extra help maybe in smaller doses - I have read enough on the net to know that even though I am in a similar position to yourself that stopping taking the med would be a serious mistake. I have taken many chances in life - but this one would be a bit too much to chance. There is enough help out there to at least give you advice - even if you attended your hospital in an emergency case demanding some answers.
Go through your doctor and see what he can do - don`t suffer on your own - get family involved or friends. Do not just stop the med of your own accord please. Good luck - keep in touch. Ivan.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN FEELING SINCE YO STOP TAKING THE WARFARIN? I'M NOT GAINING WEIGHT LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE, BUT I DO HVAE THE HEADACHES, FEELING TRIED ALL THE TIME, ALONG WITH BODY ACHES. NOW MY INR IS OFF WHACK AND ITS STILL CHANGING, GETTING LOWER. I EAT ONLY WHAT I'M SUPPOSE TO NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS. I AM LOSING MY HAIR THAT REALLY HURTS ME BECAUSE I LIKE LOOKING GOOD! WAS YOUR INR ALWAYS ON POINT? MY INR HAS BEEN GOOD 4 A LONG TIME NOW, BUT NOW IT'S GIVING ME A RUN 4 MY MONEY. I WILL PRAY 4 U BEING STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE YOUR SELF OFF THE WARFARIN.

I am also taking warfarin since diagnosed with a DVT in upper arm. I am on 5mg daily and 6mg on weekends. I have been eating well and missing my greens. I now seem to be having panic attacks and feel anxious i am wondering is this anything to do with the warfarin.
