Has anyone else experienced manic symptoms while on anticoagulants?

hey guys
I I hope you are all as well as can be. having already asked a question similar to this before I don't want to drag you in this one too much.
However recently I feel the side effects of anticoagulants on me or almost unbearable psychologically, where I definitely feel they are causing symptoms similar to manic depression. I only feel the sores whenever I have stopped them the symptoms disappeared.
I am 27 and need some times include: random anxious feelings, very low mood, fearful thoughts amongst others.
if if you have felt similar from anticoagulants please let me know as it is really driving me crazy and I can't seem to live a normal life anymore since I have been on them.

Are you on anticoagulation for life or is it just for 6 months or a year?
If you are on them short term, maybe ask to change what you are taking. I took apixaban and had terrible anxiety, feeling like I was going to die and panic attacks. I changed to tinzaparin injections and the high anxiety I was feeling died down so much. But you can't take them long term because they can affect your liver.

I know exactly how you feel Adame, I felt the same which is why I stopped taking the apixaban. Those feeling took time to resolve after I stopped it.

Adame,
If you have stopped taking the anticoagulants you need to keep active, drink plenty of water and take something like bromelain which is a natural anticoagulant. Look after yourself.

Anxiety is not a known side effect of anticoagulants as far as I am aware, but having a DVT or PE is a big thing and it's common to suffer from anxiety as a result. I'd suggest speaking to your doctor about it. Stopping taking anticoagulants against your doctor's advice is not a good idea, because once you've had DVT or PE once, you are at a high risk of a recurrence.

Medication doesnt usually cause depression. I think it is something else that is causing you to be depressed. Medications do not impact the mental state in bad ways, as far as i know.
