However, it is better to skip a missed dose of Plavix than to double dose. In comparison, Plavix and Brilinta are both brand-name drugs. By inhibiting blocking the activity of platelets, drugs like Plavix help to prevent your body from making too many clots. You can also check the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine. Avoid storing this medication in areas where it could get damp or wet, such as in bathrooms.
What happens if i take a double dose of plavix; When to take plavix morning or night; Clopidogrel 75 mg overdose; Moskowitz Response: Recent-onset symptomatic usually terminates spontaneously and therefore an acute cardioversion is not always necessary, as a wait-and-see approach is equally effective and safe.

There is also a loading dose for Brilinta. I accidentally took two 75mg plavix tablet today - Ive been on it for a stroke for 85 days - Answered by a verified Health Professional. They may recommend that you stop breastfeeding or that you use a drug other than Plavix.
Put on Clopidogrel and baby aspirin. Had angiogram, echo and MRI and had results finally in November and the diagnosis was maybe a blood clot got caught in a very small junction.
I have also been given 4 other reasons and its all contributing to anxiety as I am so conscious of my heart, how its beating, fast or slow, any pains, I dream about it and wake up thinking about it, its just a nightmare. I thought I would try to come off nice and slowly starting 9 days ago. But been breathless since and anxious. Its been a horrible year of worry and its caused me adrenal fatigue and thyroid problems. I am just a mess but told only in November that any damage to the heart is very slight and I have good pumping action.
But why the odd palpitation, feeling I am going to have another heat attack at any time, any pain and it becomes an anxiety attack. I think the problem is that we are told if you have one heart attack you are more liable to get another one and all the symptoms of an impending heart attack send me into a downward spiral. Before the heart attack I was able bodied and with no anxiety at all, now I am a quivering wreck.
I had been on Plavix since my heart attack and implant of a stent two years ago. I stopped Plavix two ago after it was found to be contributing to gout. The gout was not responding to normal treatment but stopped 3 days after stopping Plavix. I have read that withdrawal symptoms may be delayed if a person is on a drug for a lengthy time.
I believe the symptoms of, perspiration, dizziness, tiredness, loss of appetite and confusion are associated with stopping Plavix.
Other factors may have contributed mainly the stopped interaction between the drugs. The lack of available information in regards to interaction between drugs is a concern. There were two warnings stickers the pharmacist placed on the Plavix packet. They may contain the same active ingredient but the medium used may differ, usually a cheaper one.
That is another area that lacks data. I offer 3 ideas for you my friend…. Juice fasting for 2 to 4 weeks 3 times a year… 3. Ketogenic diet, I lost 30lbs in 6mos and diabetes II is now gone.
I have had phrmacogenetic testing and am a poor drug metabolizer who agreed, against my better judgement to take Clopidigrel here in the UK. Id had a migranous stroke with no other risk factors for stroke other than a history of migraine with aura which eight separate specialist consultants in the UK completely ignored.
In the past three months on this drug, I have experienced alarmingly increased bruising, severe constipation, urinary frequency without UTI and overt grumpiness. Because I lost much of my vision with the stroke, I am more likely to have an accident than previously. I now bruise so easily on this drug that I am more concerned with a hemorrhage in my brain from an accident than I am of another stroke. No one in the UK will discuss this with me. Even the good consultant cant meet with me again until four months from now.
I cant make a fist with my right hand. My fingers are each half again the size of my left hand and Ive been keeping my hand on a bag of frozen peas. The hospital where I was seen for the stroke did not do essential testing at the time. A consultant neurologist ordered them four months later.
The results were normal. My whole right forearm now aches and is blueish with evidence of bruising from the hand seeping into the forearm through basic gravity. It hurts. I refuse to spend my life being fragile and enfeebled by the medical profession or anything else. Look forward to your reply. I have read the previous stories and wanted to share what I have experienced during the last ten years. I am now 83, as of Sunday Dec. In I had surgery on detached retina. One month later I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
I was informed that sometimes surgery can bring on this disease when the body cells line up to take care of damaged part of body. No one in my family ever had RA so I kind of believe them. I also have C. I also, was put on Clopidogrel and one baby aspirin.
My health has deteriorated quite a bit due to mainly my C. I am weak and cannot walk too long without becoming breathless. I asked heart doctor if my heart attack had any bearing and she said no. I have to become more active to get strength back.
I have always had noises in my ears since when had tumor removed from inner ear canal. I believe they sound louder now and could be from the Clopidogrel, but it is bearable since I have always had it. As far as the instant bruising, yes I too get much of that. I just slightly bump the door jam and blood spurts out so easily. This is more the results of the aspirin, because I have had this problem before my heart attack because I always take the aspirin for pain from my arthritis.
My husband also had heart attack several years ago and was put on Plavix and aspirin. He also bruised all the time. Doctor took him off the aspirin last month and he rarely bruises now. He is a handyman around the house and is always getting bumps and scrapes. But at lease now he is bruise free. My only beef about that is I was told that to keep a healthy heart is to take two baby aspirin at night. I make sure he has Tumeric every day so maybe that will help. God Bless everyone and get healthy.
Being only 40 yrs old at the time I had to return to working at the shipyard asap, despite the obvious medical limits. Even the slightest scratch would unleash a torrent of blood I often found difficult to control. As a year round motorcycle rider I was terrified of a car running into me and bleeding out before the ambulance arrived. I made what preparations I could extra thick gloves and work clothes, the best motorcycle gear money can buy and tried to continue a normal life.
Anxiety, panic attacks, ever present brain fog, extreme fatigue and body pains are my constant companions. Despite this I have salvaged a good life out of these obstacles, always plotting on when I discontinue my medications. After 8 years I cut my daily meds in half. Earlier this year the unimaginable happened. All that safety gear saved my life, but to receive some treatments I had to stop using daily Plavix.
After some testing to make sure no risk factors are present, I was instructed to stop Plavix but take a baby aspirin daily. Hopefully all can feel as good as they try to get off medications. A quality doctor s that is one your side is crucial to any successful recovery and I was lucky in that department. I believe the less long term medication a person consumes the better the recovery.
Finding the right meds is extremely tough. Good luck to all!! Your story is so interesting to me for the fact that you no longer take Plavix I take clopidogrel. I really need to get off this but I am frightened by these horror stories of impending death. My body rejects drugs in general, giving me the most horrendous side effects.
The only drug they managed to get me on after a stroke in and a number of TIAs before and since. They were determined I needed to be on something due to the annual TIAs but if I had been aware of the permanent changes caused by Clopidogrel I would have refused. Now I have too many platelets and was told to stop taking it and take another thinner. I cannot due to the illness it causes.
I have been off it a week Thursday 16th. Yesterday I was told I must start taking it again due to the dangers of suffering major stroke. Please help me. I have not resumed yet. How long were you taking this drug? When did you come off it since you began taking it? How did you do this? I cannot take aspirin as it causes internal bleeding.
Had blood enzymes checked, urine and ct scan, said all ok. I feel suicidal, and know when my liver hurts. Should I just go off plavix and Lipitor, and take chances?
I have started good diet, and have read should cut out all flour, grains and sugar from diet. I have done this for over a year and feel so much better as they clean toxins out your liver and put an end to constipation. I use wilson gold organic coffee, you can google them and find their website easily… good luck. I am 55 and have been on plavix and aspirin for approx 5 years since my last cardiac event. This event is by an unknown nature yet due to contributing factors and health history these drugs were prescribed.
After reading everything others have said I am more convinced so…. I hate these drugs and the effect they have on the body. Good luck to us all that have been put on them. I had a heart attack 8 months ago and one stent was placed. What difference is four months gong to make! I accept their script, google the drug and chuck the script in the bin. There are no side effects to drugs, just effects.
Mostly the cure is worse than the disease. Cholesterol drugs are a scam. You sound like my twin. I am a little bit late to reply. But you are so right. I am healthy, because of my extreme healthy lifestyle, so is my husband. But my husband has a stent placed because an old plaque that became fragile and ruptured from his unhealthy lifestyle before he met me.
They found another plaque and placed another stent. Otherwise my husband is incredibly healthy, absolutely no problems. I fought off for the first month the anti-cholesterol, the blood pressure lowering medicine they gave him. Now after 6 months I want him off the plavix and only take baby aspirin because of the side effects that are for him breathing problems and weakness. I speak 4 languages and I am able to read the medical journals from different countries.
There is no reason to be longer on plavix than 6 months. It will be a fight for sure. Please contact me privately if you want. Can i ask you a few questions, i have stopped plavix on my own in one day…so far no side effects, its been 6 days. I still take a baby aspirin. Brian Dazio Nov. Can you please contact me back privately? I am not sure how to do that here? Scary and not fair to be put on Plavix for a stent that I did not need I too want to go off this poison which is causing severe side effects Tried Brilinta too many side effects.
What and how is it going for you did you go off? Stent placed rca in February. Said no to statins but agreed to plavix 75mg and a beta blocker which was changed 2x as I had reactions.
Now I have stopped plavix yesterday. How are you doing now? I hate drugs.. Hi Kim, I was put on plavix december22, due to a small hole in my heart. I had a tee test it showed pfo. After 11 days. I feel very anxious heart racing. My heart is beating fast. Well I stopped it tonight on my own. I hope you feel better. They put me on Clopidogrel 75mg daily, Crestor and Dexilant.
My joints and muscle hurt daily, when I wake up in the morning my feet are weak and I crawl out of bed. I also have an aneurysm which my cardiologist tested and told it it pose no threat.
Recently, my nuclear stress test came back normal, my cholesterol is fine. What should I do? In August of at the age of 40, I chucked an energy drink and began my boxing workout here in Arizona. However, I do get PVC when your heart triggers early aka palpitations. My yearly visit was on Wednesday the 24th of August I decided to take his advice and stopped taking it that night. Well today is day three! Per his orders he never said to stop taking it gradually, he just said stop taking it so I did.
Well I feel a little dizzy but nothing major as of yet. I will check in nightly to keep you posted. Thank you Jesus! Robert, Can you give me an update on your case how did you do after you stopped taking the clopidogrel? You stated on your post you felt ok with the exception of feeling dizzy the first couple of days, how did you do after are you ok or did you have any other complications. I stopped cold turkey two weeks ago — after my cardiologist told me to. I seem to be less tired, but in the last few days have experienced a bit of dizziness.
Hoping this is passing soon, but taking note of changes. Are you still not taking clopidrogel? I had a stroke 6 years ago and I have been taken clopidrogel. Recently I have been suffering from pains in my stomach. I decided not to take clopidrogel — that was 3 weeks back.
I have been suffering from dizziness. Does it get better? I am taking aspirin instead. They perscribed a beta blocker metoprolol , Plavix, asprin, and lipitor. Unfortunately I did take the plavix. Fast forward two months- I passed my stress test with flying colors, feeling great, going to rehab. So my doc said that I could try stopping the Plavix. I stopped on Friday last week 6 days ago. The first days off it felt amazing. But on Monday day 4 I began to have what I can only describe as panic attacks.
And as I thought about it and reviewed prior emails to my doc, I was complaining about similar anxiety back in late August just a week or two after starting the drug. I really think there has to be some connection! Can someone- anyone- tell me that they have made it through these terrible symptoms and how long it took?
I just got off Clopidrogel too about a week back. Did you have any more withdrawal symptoms besides the panic attacks? I took Eztrol and Clopidogrel for a month following a stress scan that showed cholestrol gathering in artery. After a few days l had severe pains in my left arm, chest pain, belching repeatedly and memory loss , that kept me from sleeping I stopped taking both a week ago and the first few days were great but last night l had severe pain under my right armpit and chest pain.
Hopefully this is the meltdown and l may start feeling a little better. I will not take either until l see my Gp. I will ask for the results of a blood test and a change of tablet.
Boy am I glad I found this forum! I was put on Brilinta last year after a stent placement. He said I should have no trouble just stopping — no side effects. Then the anxiety started. Night time is especially bad. I wake up in the middle of the night shaking, my heart rate up and wondering WTH? Still on the baby aspirin regimen and have added Valerian as needed to calm me down.
What a damned trip! I got TIA…i was taking clopdogrel 1year …. I was given this drug Clopidogrel when I had a heart attack 3 years ago! May I ended up with a Brain Bleed and a bleeding gastric Ulcer with still ongoing symptoms.
I went to the ER and my drug got missed that I was on it. The triage nurse had it on her list but when I had seen the ER Doctor he did not take me off off it! I had a CT Scan done and they confirmed I had a bleed on my brain. So all that time I was taking this drug. Since then I had gotten worst and been diagnosed with a Chronic Subdural Hematoma on my brain. Since all my finding this Drug is very dangerous!
There are lawsuits about this drug. Trust me the pain is REAL. Reading your comments I know what you are going through. Does anyone have any idea what is going on in the body at the time one ceases taking clopidogrel? We are all concerned about these symptoms but what exactly is making this happen? How does Clopidogrel change your body? How do our bodies respond to having this change? What is it in our bodies that Clopidogrel makes irreversible? Since then I have radically changed my diet, have lost 35 pounds and get lots of exercise.
I have always bled freely as a small scratch would drip blood. My test from the Tia showed hardly no plaque for a male 67 years old. While running these test they saw some damage from head trauma when I was 5.
I also have a Dr at the VA and when I went for a checkup 2 days after the Tia he immediately wanted me on a cholesterol drug even though my test showed a level slightly over the norm. The Doctors at the hospital where I went for the Tia saw no need for a cholesterol med. I think that most Drs are too quick to prescribe meds before giving your body time to correct a problem and in doing so subject the patient to risks that out weight the problem.
I have been weaning off Plavix for over a week and will be off in 6 more pills. Put on plavix after a mild heart attack one year ago. He said that there just not sure what's best.. Little back ground : heart attack 1 stent eight months ago.. No heart damage no restrictions age However, that information will still be included in details such as numbers of replies.
