After I began taking Plavix I feel as if I found myself in the claws of The Great Inquisition.

Hi, Folks. A month ago I had second Myocardial infarction and  I got two stents implanted. I was prescribed Plavix to take for a year and I began taking it accordingly and after that I started feeling permanent awful  weakness and fatuigue, a dull pain in the chest, shortage of breath and lousy itching. 

 Along with Plavix I take varfarin, omeoprosol, konkor, diuretics, aneapril... I'd been taking all aforementioned stuff for a long time before Plavix and never had I suffered such  disastrous side effects.  Is there anybody who   ever came across this situation and have some tips as to how to deal with it?  

 Sorry, I forgot... I'm 81 years old woman, but I am...I was fond of fresh air and walking in the woods, therefore before op and Plavix I was very energetic and led quite an active life.

    Do a google search on Plavix (Clopidogrel) and Omeprazole and each of the other drugs for contra indications.

    Omeprazole can lessen the effect of Plavix.

      Thanks, Derek, actually, I know about Omeprazole, but having some problems with my stomach I have to take it, that's why my doc prescribed me additional(to Plavix) warfarin.
