While taking plavix I have had gastrointestinal bleeding leading to two blood transfusion.

Submitted 2011-08-19

Defendant: Plavix (heart attack and stroke)

I have been on Plavix for years and I have gastrointestinal bleeding and have had two blood transfusion. I am weak and tired all of the time. I don't want to eat, confused and depressed. I suffer from chronic anemia. While taking plavix I had surgery and during surgery I had a heart attack. My doctors have continued me on plavix and aspirin even though I have gastrointestinal bleeding, suffer from chronic anemia, and I have peptic ulcer disease. I was given blood on August 11, 2011 and tested positive for blood in my stool. I have taken myself off of Plavix effective today out of fear of bleeding to death.
