Just completed my 6 months rivaroxaban just wondered how anyone else felt on completion . I have become very tired and feeling cold not sure if virus but can't beleive how tired I'm feeling.

Just wondered if it has anything to do with finishing my drugs

I've had a blood test awaiting to see if I need to go back on it for life

    Have felt so much better after coming off Rivaroxaban in December and going on to Apixaban. Had not realised how many side effects that drug had and have had no problems on Apixaban.

    I have two more weeks on it!

    I feel tired on it so am looking forward to seeing how I am off of it.

    ​Did you have a PE?

    Hi , I have done 2 weeks on rivaroxeban , and have returned to work , and am constantly exhausted , you know the real can't keep eyes open after an hours being up and about tired.

    Due to change to daily dose next Monday so see if that changes anything or if I need to look at changing to different medications.

    I chose rivaroxeban due to less messing about with changing dosages over warfarin , so I hope it levels out !
