t available so I was seen by an FNP. She diagnosed a mild UTI and prescribed Cipro 250 mg 2x a day for five days. After taking the third tablet all hell broke loose: my vision got so blurred I couldn't see, I couldn't urinate for fifteen hours, and I had diarrhea for nine hours straight. I stopped taking the medicine(missed one dose so far). It's the weekend and the office is closed for the Monday holiday so it will be four days before I can talk to the doctor.
A visit to my doctor yesterday indicated atrial fibrillation after an EKG. I started a 5 mg. dose of warfarin sodium yesterday. I am to see a cardiologist later in the week. In the meantime, I am wondering what sort of activities I should avoid. I normally use the hot tub in the morning to relax my stiff back. Is that a problem? i play a lot of golf and walk and carry my bag usually. Is that a problem?
4 months ago she switched to pradax in place of warfarin. The family doctor prescribed 110 mg tablet per day..over the past few months she has made excellent progress. several weeks ago her alzeheimer specialist doubled her dosage..and my mother is slowly getting worse. I have 2 questions:
1) has anyone else experienced over dosage of blood thinners ( warfarin or bradax) with brain lining thinning and the onset of dementia symptoms?
Some doctors will prescribe an 81 mg coated tablet of aspirin as an alternative to Warfarin if your risk factors are not that great. My suggestion is to get as many opinions as you can and don't let anyone tell you different. I have had several Cardiologists and EP Dr's who have all had their own unique ways of treating me and each time I have seen improvement with the additional insight. Good luck and God bless!
Hi... I also was on Warfarin, but only for a month after undergoing an ablation. The procedure was on Jan.29 and i was put on warfarin for 30 days. I had a normal period in february but then in march it started and never really stopped. I've basically had my period for six months straight. could this possibly be from the warfarin to be going on for this long? Is there anything that could be done about this?
I have on many occassions stopped my warfarin for medical procedure reasons. I take only 5 mg a day. So, in my exlperience on can stop "cold turkey" without any problems other than an increased chance of blood clots and storke. I have several risk factors, oncluding permenant AFib, so I have no choice. I do not have many side effects from Warfarin, but I am on less than half the dose you are taking.
Do discuss with your doctor at your earliest, surely within a week or two.

My only experience is Warfarin (generic Coumaden) for about 15 years. I'm at 5 mg daily, and 7.5 mg a couple of times a week. I am always in the 2-3 range, and guess Warfarin would hold be at 2.5 + if I took 7.5 mg a day. I am not suggesting a dose change, just sharing experience.
I eat green vegetables/salads often and it doesn't seem to make any big change.
