      Thatt would be great, do you think time will help the fatigue, insomnia and depression?   Was your dosage 2.5 mg twice daily? I am very anxious to start with and this isnt helping.

      Mine was 5mg twice a day. Yes the insomnia and stuff may go away. Talk to your doctor about an anti anxiety medication. It helps me.

      Yes, dr gave me diazepam but didnt think the insomnia was coming from apixaban - all i know is that it came when i changed from warfarin, did you use warfarin and change, or straight on to apixaban?  I also think iade me feel more depressed, i am looking for others who have had that experience

      I went straight to apixaban. Ive gotten depressed and anxious on it. Tired a lot too. Buut i believe its just normal side effects. It gets better the longer your on. But i still get tired. I got the om to atop it but im afraid too. Sso i emailed my doctor.
