Without going into the crazy story, my wife had a blood clot in her brain, doctors put her on Eliquis, and she was having such a hard time with that. They changed her to Xarelto, and she is having really upsetting reactions to the medication, such as headaches, a change of personality, and mood changes, also adding anxiety. The doctor also put on sleeping medication and anxiety medication. My question is, how can she deal with the emotional side of this?
She is unable to do anything she used to do; she has no
motivation. She has always been so motivated to get things done.
She is a very creative person, always making something; now, there is nothing that she doesn't have the patience
Anything would be a big help. I would believe she would be looking to get off it and move to something natural. The side effects are horrific for her. She used to love to cook. But now she has no motivation to do it.
She has never been a depressed person, but the doctors want to put her on an antidepressant, which she said no to. She has been on the blood thinners for 5 months. No, she did not have a stroke. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
