I am a 43 year old female, I got a couple of clots in my left leg, caused by taking birth control. I was taking the bc to control my menstrual cycle, I took it against my better judgment, even though my dr. said it was not a high risk since I didn't smoke. Well that wasn't true. The side effects are extreme dizziness, I went to walk down a set of stairs recently and almost fell down them, That would have been tragic, Thank god my friend grabbed my arm. I know for a fact that it is a side effect from the coumadin because prior to this dvt I had no dizziness, as a matter of fact I was very healthy, I exercised 4 times a week, boxing, weight lifting ect. I was "NORMAL" I can't wait until the doctor says ok, stop taking the blood thinner. I want my life back. I just want to get back to the way I was before my dvt.
