Hello, I am wondering if anyone has taken these drugs and if there is any preference? My father had a stroke and was put on Pradaxa by Kaiser. The recommendation is for life basically to prevent another clot. He’s been on it for nearly a year and really hasn’t felt right since. He feels very lethargic, terrible insomnia and has weak legs. He also had heart surgery and he is motivated to live a healthy life and wants to exercise and all that but if anyone knows what chronic insomnia is like, it really wipes you out. He barely has the energy for these things. I am reading Eliquis might have fewer side effects. Has anyone had this experience? Any advice is much appreciated.
