I've been on Plavix just under 5 years. I bruise easy and bleed a lot when cut, but I'm tolerating the treatment pretty well. I've been thinking I might be noticing memory problems and attributed that to my cholesterol meds. And my blood sugar is on the rise, so I wonder if that's related to my meds.

I dont know if plavix is working or not. I have not had any additional tests run. My concern with plavix is all of the drugs that you cannot take with plavix. For instance, I also have fibromyalgia and hurt all the time. I do not know what I can take to help my pain...

Drug causes me nausea, excessive gas, and blood sugar increase. Could not take Plavix or Effient........causes severe reactions. This has been the last resort. I have a procedure scheduled soon and the is for precautions. Hopefully I won't have to take this stuff long afterwards. Cannot afford the increase in Blood Sugar.

I can't take plavix, this was my only option. I don't heal as quick anymore. I'm bleeding from places and I get dizzy at times. I feel like my insides are rotting because of this stuff.
