Ive recently been diagnosed with AF and am having problems with the blood thinners.

I was on Apixaban now on Xeralto but looking like I might have to go back on Apixaban.

Does anyone else have trouble with medication and if so what side effects do you have?

Hi, welcome to the forum. People are on all sorts of different meds and have all sorts of different side effects, and sometimes none at all. What are your problems with Eliquis and Xarelto?

With Apixaban I was very lightheaded

But I get loads of side effects with Xeralto (ears popping all day x headaches x tiredness x ready for bed at 6pm x eyes suffering too much brightness x the list goes on x I take it in the morning with breakfast x

Why don't you take your Xeralto late in the evening with a snack, I take it about an hour before I go to bed and don't have any problems. The doctor said you don't need to eat a lot of food.
