Xarelto (rivaroxaban) "This stuff was covered by insurance, good thing at ten bucks a day/pill. I began having nightmares nightly on these pills. Every night was a horror movie. Then around the third month I awakened one morning with every joint in extreme pain. I got the pills and both the nightmares and pain diminished to zero. I altered my diet to zero processed and factory foods, and everything no more clots."

"The drug works well. But the only side effect I have from it is severe leg pain. Almost to where it goes numb and tingle. I wish the leg pain wasn't so much of side effect of it."

"I had a PE in 2017 and was on xarelto for 6 months. In that time the main side effect I felt was body aches. Now in 2022 I was on them again for another 6 months for a clot in my right leg but stopped a month early due to the terrible side effects and good test results. I'm never taking this stuff again. I had to go to ER for internal bleeding twice, Dizzy, dry skin, hair loss, lack of appetite, weight gain, crippling anxiety, headache, inlarged spleen, kidney pain, confusion, all kinds of GI issues. I've been off for one week and am feeling better everyday but still have some less severe symptoms. I'm taking tumeric and bromelain now which both are proven blood thinners, and beomelain can actually disolve clots. I would suggest people look for a natural alternative if possible. That said the drug did clear my first PE pretty fast along with a clot buster injection in the stomach. Trust your own gut on these issues my choices are my own."
