Xarelto (rivaroxaban) "Was on eliquis. Awful drug. Was on it 6 weeks and my urine got VERY rank. after 2 and half months woke up one night and my heart was vibrating, jaw and arm pain. It stopped after 5 min. It occurred 2 to 5 times a day for 5 days Made Dr appointment and I cut pills to 1 a day. Dr put me on Xarelto. Still have the bad urine smell. Had a few days of heart episodes but now it seems to be better. Have taken 16 pills, one a day. I still have slight tightness and jaw pain occasionally but nothing compared to Eliquis.. I also on Eliquis had sore eyes and very very tired. I am still tired but not as bad. have 2 more months to go. Just wanted to share this with everyone that has to take this medicine!!"

Xarelto (rivaroxaban) "No not take this drug it does not work. It is a expensive worthless piece of rubbish. I had knee replacement, then I developed blood clots in leg that happens I guess. Wanted to be on warfarin as blood thinner because it worked for me in the past. My clinic wanted me on xarelto, it did not work and I had several small strokes while on xarelto Follow the money"
