I was on Plavix and still got a clot that took a considerable share of my eyesight

Now I’m on eliquis and a baby aspirin. So far, so good

My dad had a clot, and 3 days later on warfarin, he had a bleed that cost him half of his eyesight on the same side as mine

Stay away from wayfarin. They have a hard time adjusting the dosage, requiring constant trips for bloodwork

You don’t take any NSAIDs (Aspirin, Aleve, Advil, Voltaren, even Pepto Bismol)with blood thinners..not even grapefruit or CBDs.

I have been on Warfarin for the last 31 years due to an artificial heart valve and stent.
No problems so far but I do get my blood checked closely as my INR jumps from high to low all the time.
