Seriously?? Where did you get your medical degree?
While i was on coumadin i lost 10 pounds and now that i stopped ive gaing alot of weight.is this normal
I have been on Warfrin for about 5 years and have gained 30-40lbs. Eat light and exercise and still can't get the weight off.
So glad to find this. Only been on it for 6 weeks and hardly any of my pants fit. And I haven't changed pants size in decades! I am only on for another 6 weeks so I hope I drop the weight just as quickly.
Yes sense I been taking this pill I have been gaining, before I took it I was losing I dont like this have to get off of it not only that I been losing my hair. What can I do.
I've been on coumadin for 13 weeks and I have gained 7 lbs. I walk 2 miles 4-5 times a week and I eat healthy. I chest on sweets once in awhile but much less before taking coumadin. So, I agree. Coumadin
does make you gain weight
does make you gain weight
I have the same problem and I gained weight during starting taking first Xalerto and change for warfarin I started gaining weigh even more after they raised my doses
yes, I have noticed weight gain with my warfarin. Dr blows me off says its age-related. I have noticed hair loss also. I had a craniotomy and worry because warfarin does not let your body absorb calcium in your bones. So many side effects and dr. ignores they make a lot of MONEY on INR testing etc.
I just started Coumadin last night. I am a lifer on blood thinners. I switched from Xarelto. I felt like I was having major side effects from Xarelto. It could be something else, but since that is the only medication I take, I wanted to see if the symptoms resolved. Even though I have visited this thread many times to read other people's stories, I still felt badly enough to switch to Coumadin. I guess I fully anticipate gaining weight based off of other people's experience. I used to weigh 90 lbs more than I do now and remember what it felt like to be much heavier and don't want to have to go through that again. I am not skinny by any means, 180 lbs at 5'8, but I have worked so hard for so many years getting weight off. I am going to try and stick to a mostly low calorie vegetarian diet to see if that can counteract the weight gain. I will keep you posted. My goal is to not exceed 1200 calories per day.
I’m on as well and started to gain weight
I find all weight gain replies intetesting. I have had and continue to have one major problem which is weight LOSS. I eat as much as I usually eat, but continue to lose at least 5 pounds a month.
I have gained 30 lbs in 4 months. I need answers fast because I have to be on Coumadin for the rest of my life due to having Factor V Leiden.
how are you loosing the weight
Wow. You have no idea what you are talking about.
