Pradaxa - does anyone else feel fatigued on this?

I totally understand your problem, had similar problem with Eliquis. About 1 1/2 hours after taking Pradaxa the tiredness sets in. It frustrating, makes you feel like a zombie and every single task becomes takes a big effort. Had AFIB ablation in 2016, just had the Watchman procedure last month. Do check it out, it blocks (caps) the plaque in your heart from braking loose and from going to your brain. After the procedure i have to continue Pradaxa (plus 81mg of Aspirin) for 6 weeks, than Plavix (plus 81 mg of Aspirin) for 6 weeks, after that regimen only the 81 mg of Aspirin. So right now only another 3 weeks on Pradaxa, than and Eliquis surely the worst blood thinner drugs. They pull the zest for life right out of you, even my sex drive (Viagra doesn’t seem to help) is nil right now.

I, too have been constantly tired since taking xarelto and now, after switching in July '17, to pradaxa. My doctor says that this is unusual and thinks that cardioversion and abulation are possible solutions to explore instead. Had a double vent angioplasty in August and while that made things better, the fatigue persists

I have used coumadin - lots of bruising and having to monitor eating habits was a pain in the neck. But no other side effects.
I have used lovenox, sticking needles in yourself is inconvenient but no problems.
Now I'm on Pradaxa. Major fatigue but not every day. Some days it's okay, other days, I can hardly walk. I am an active person, running, biking and swimming 2-3 miles a week. This fatigue has been difficult to handle. I have been using Pradaxa for almost 2 months. I'll give it one more month and then talk to my doctor about switching again. In addition, there has been intermittent heartburn that antacids do not seem to help.

Just started a few days ago on this drug. Was taking Lovenox before it. I think it's not just Pradaxa. I started feeling pretty wiped after taking Lovenox as well. I just hope it doesn't get worse with Pradaxa. If it does, I think I'll take my chances with DVT as well.

I think you will do well on Paradaxa. I seems to be a well tolerated drug. I seem to have a problem with the rithym drugs. I really had no tolarance for them. Last week I had a cardiac ablation to stop the AF. My doctor just keep reminding me to wacth my noggen. I find that I fatique easly. I guss it is going to take time. Good Luck and let me know how you make out.

I had been on Pradaxa 3 or 4 weeks after being taken off coumadin., when I was getting more and more fatigued. I finally had to go to the E.R. because I could hardly stay awake or even walk. I had no energy. They found that I had bleeding in my colon and my blood was down to 6. I will never take this drug again. Now I found out that my sister is in the hospital now with the same thing along with severe stomach pains. She was on Pradaxa for 1 month when her symptoms started. My doctor recommends that I not go back on this drug. I feel it is unsafe and dangerous. I feel it needs to be checked into as to how many cases like my sister and I have been documented. Sorry, I couldn't be more possitive but feel strongly against this drug. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and had 7 transfusions. It has been 2 weeks now and I am just now beginning to get my strength back..
