Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group
Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.

Hey everyone
I've been taking warfarin for quite a few weeks now (since March). Because my INR has taken a while to stabilize, the docs have gradually increased my dose to 8mg. The problem is, I've noticed over the past few days that I've become a little dizzy and tired. Is this normal for Warfarin? Not entirely sure there's something else wrong with me and the paranoia is setting in!
Any answers would be fab, thanks :)

Now that I am not talking to my whatever best friend, I realized that her life is full of drama. I had grown tired of hearing her stories about her boyfriend many months ago. She basically had been monopolizing conversations for that long too. She pretty much stopped asking me questions about me. I passed her in front of her classroom the other day and didn't even look at her. I am...

I suppose it could be warfarin, but there's a bazillion things that could result in dizzy/tired,so hard to say for sure.
That so happened to me for the whole 6 mos. i was on warfarin. and to pardon the poop( parden for the phrase) ;) , but had the odd diarrhea spell too And to had to have a nap, about an hour or two.
And for the paranoia comes regardless, knowledge is power. the more you know about your situation, it does help a little to relax the nerves, and puts things in a more fish bowl experience.

EAJ,
I was on Warf for a while and I was plagued with side effects from it. The reason I can assure that it was caused by it, is that once I was OFF of it( have been on Pradax for almost two years and did two other years on the trial for Pradax) all of the side effects disappeared.
I'm NOT saying that it can be like that for you, like others have said, in your case, it could be something entirely different.
But I would mention it to your Dr. that you have been having these side effects.
Thanks again :)
