I started to take Eliquis 2 months ago. After a month and the half I started to have joint pains and some swelling. The symptoms will go from one join to another (hands;knees;feet;jaw). In the past week, I had pain in all my joints in the fingers;knees;feet;under my feet. The pain went up little by little, mostly during the day and now during the night. I am taking 1000mg of acetaminophen 3 time a day. I went to see the Doctor yesterday and we decide to stop Eliquis. Look like this is due to a Eliquis side effect. Look like all this started, about 3 weeks ago when I was traveling, I was tired and I got cold in a place not well heated! I am trying to get more rest now, I am back home!

After 6 months on Eliquis I developed severe Nausea and extreme loss of weight. I did have nausea the first 3 months , that subsided and no weight loss but at the six months it returned with a vengence with the nausea and loss of 10 pounds very quickly.

Comment:
Horrible side effects including joint pain, fatigue, and skin burning. Side effects came on gradually over 8 months until they were so severe it felt as if I had the flu with my skin on fire. Symptoms started to abate within two days of discontinuing under doctor’s supervision. You could not pay me to take this drug again.
