Was getting to the point of not being able to walk any distance at all without severe cramping and discomfort. Was experiencing extreme cramping at night in bed ... After 6 weeks of precision consumption of the drug I'm almost totally void of any symptoms, numbness, in my feet. I experience a slight headache and nausea from taking the drug but a couple of "Alieve" in the morning eliminates those p...
SEVERE headaches and nausea. Not sure how much longer I can keep taking this medication with these side effects. Also have asthma and have been wheezing ever since I started taking this med. Am taking 100 mg morning and again at night. Ughhh these headaches are horrible.

I believe it has caused a rash on both my arms. It is very unsightly and I would like to know if stopping the use of this drug would eliminate the rash.

I had chronic leg pain for many years, along with them being very cold from the knees to my toes. Even with our hot summers here in Florida. heehee One day 3 yrs ago while drying off from my shower I noticed 2 toes on my right foot were black...I immediately went to hospital. There I found out it was (perifial artery disease)that is when my first by-pass was performed. I also was put on Pletal/100mg, Plavix/75mg, Baby Aspirin 81mg. I have had 3 operations on my right side & 2 on my left. I'm not sure if it's all thanks to Pletal, or the combined use of my the drugs, I am very satisfied, it's been ongoing for 3 yrs & seems the operations come just about every 6 months.I at first was having headaches,so I'd lie down for about 1 1/2 hrs and it would be gone. Thats all I noticed as far as side effects,the headaches subsided within 2wks. Also the biggest thing in taking any of the meds is to:STOP SMOKING I'm sure all of you doctors tell the same thing as mine does. I haven't stopped yet but,have gone from 2pks per day down to 2 pks per wk. It can be done, but it takes time along with the WANT TO. My doc has had me on numerous ciggy stoppers,none worked. I'm doing better on my own, and NO!NO! a thousand times NO! I don't want to quit haha Good Luck to all Read More Read Less

After being on the drug for two months, there has been not change in my condition. There appears to be a negative reaction to methotrexate that I am taking for psorasis. There has been a major flaw up with the psorasis since starting on pletal.

I started taking Cilostazol after my last stints were put in, I've had a few put in before and never experienced what I did after the last ones and after I started on Cilostazol. I went back for my Stress Tests and told the Dr. how tired I was feeling and it had been at least 4 months since my stints...he told me to get off the Cilostazol right NOW!! Hope I feel better.

I noticed a fast heartbeat while I was in a non-active role such as sitting or lying down. My Doctor asked me to stop taking it.
