Started taking it last month. Have been dizzy, had headaches, off balance and unsteady when walking. Doctors have said it is not the medication. If not the medication then it has to be the hit I took to the head when I blanked out from these PEs. Either way I know something is wrong.

This has actually been for my 78 year old mother, who after having a T-2 illiac Posterior Spinal Fusion surgery, threw some blood clots to her lungs. Thankfully the pro-active surgeon had an IVC filter placed the day prior to her HUGE surgery and her clot was detoured to the lungs which could be treated, instead of a fatal area such as the brain or heart.

Thankfully the pro-active surgeon had an IVC filter placed the day prior to her HUGE surgery and her clot was detoured to the lungs which could be treated, instead of a fatal area such as the brain or heart. Coumadin therapy was started and she has been on it approximately 3 months. She is now a little over 3 months post op and doing extremely well on a 2.0mg PLUS a 2.5mg tablet of Coumadin at 8pm daily.

My main complaint is that it seems to have affected my personality, making me more worried, anxious, depressed. I take 7.5 mg per day, and have for over one year. I had a bad case of pulmonary embolisms, blood clots that went from left leg, through heart to lungs which started me off on the coumaden. I must say in fairness that I have not had another incident since I have taken Coumaden, which may be thanks to the drug. However, I am looking into alternatives because of the side effects.
