How long does Coumadin stay in your system?All ways tired, Unable to keep my body temperature stable either I am freezing or having night sweats. Started taking 6mg/day. Originally it was keeping me at 2.5 (Protime). Dr. said not related, but I've never had headaches untill I started taking Coumadin. Depression. Mental fatigue. I also have fibro myalgia. My husband was prescribed this drug after his second heart attack. It has kept the DVT from re-occurring. The higher the dose the worse I feel. I need to be on it for life. Unbeknownst to me, I had it. Joint pain especially in my elbows. Tiredness and lack of energy. I can't do my job well because I am so tired in the afternoon. takes a while to get inr straight, a year for me. always carry bandages with me! not so bad. Edema. Ginko Biloba also helps thin blood but is safe- less drugs. Don't know how long I have to be on it. Started taking 6mg/day. Originally it was keeping me at 2.5 (Protime).
