It literally changed my life for the worse!! It really should be taken off the market!!

This drug gave me extreme anxiety, insomnia, tendon and muscle pain, heart problems and breathing problems. It has been many months since taking this drug and I am still suffering in daily pain.

I take warfarin because of mechanical valves and combined with this drug, I could have died. A week in the hospital because my INR was so high after my legs gave out and I landed on the floor (called 911). Four months later I am still dealing with the after effects.All this having taken only TWO pills. This drug should not be on the market.

I had a 7 day regimen of this drug. After I finished my last dose on 1-2-15 I started with elbow pain (tendonitis), shoulder pain and horrible pain in both knees. I'm very active (I do an hour at the gym every day, walk/run 3+ miles and attend fitness class 2x a week) and I could barely walk. Twelve days out and I am still having elbow pain and shoulder pain.

I had a 7 day regimen of this drug. After I finished my last dose on 1-2-15 I started with elbow pain (tendonitis), shoulder pain and horrible pain in both knees. I'm very active (I do an hour at the gym every day, walk/run 3+ miles and attend fitness class 2x a week) and I could barely walk. Twelve days out and I am still having elbow pain and shoulder pain. I had no idea about the side effects and I was not given an info sheet at the pharmacy. I was also given Prednisone at the same time. I'm very scared that these issues will do permanent damage. My doctor now wants me to take a 3 day regimen of Prednisone. I'm scared to do so. Anyone have any advice? I can just pray that this doesn't ruin my running season this year but I should already be training and can't because of my knee pain. BEWARE of this drug. Do not take it and please ask for something different. I'm praying I won't end up disabled because I wasn't informed and given a chance to make a better choice.
