Hasn't had any noticeable side effects, except perhaps slightly longer bleeding when cut. Extremely convenient and allowed me to go travelling, which I would probably not have been able to do on warfarin

Recovering from a PE from December. I loved that I no longer have to be on a food restriction and so many testing since I have been switched to this 3 weeks ago. The side effects I seem to be having alot of this week (18th Jan.) is that I am very tired (zombie-like) and sometimes I have a bit of difficulty breathing. I just continue to pace myself.
