I got on warfarin 6 months ago after a pulmonary embolism. It has been a challenge to keep my INR in check. The fact that I haven't had any more clots is a good sign. I don't have the energy I used to before wafarin and I notice that my moods seem to swing pretty dramatically, patience levels are not great.

I don't have the energy I used to before wafarin and I notice that my moods seem to swing pretty dramatically, patience levels are not great. Not sure if that is due to the warfarin or to the stress of all the stuff that has been going on since the surgery and subsequent clots. I hope to be off this stuff soon.

I have been taking the name brand since Aug.07. I'm 41yrs old and I had a Pulmonary Embolism in my left lung and sm clots in my left upper thigh. I now have a permenant vena cave implant filter in my right upper thigh. The medication has prevented me from forming any clots that I'm aware of. But, I do experience rapid heatbeat from time to time and pulsating sensations in my legs and they feel heavy. I also experience some loss of memory or confusion more often. My PT/INR results have been usually below normal- around 1.20 on the average. Physically, I don't feel the same since my experience. I could use some advise if any is available?

So far, so good, I go back in one month for another cat scan with contrast to see if the blood clots are gone.

I also just had a friend had a brain hemmorage and died dur to this medicine and not having his INR monitored often enough. This is a good drug but can also be very dangerous. If you take it, insist on having regular (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly at the longest) bloodwork done to monitor your INR levels. Levels to High OR to low can have severe consequences.
