Should I Discontinue Plavix Now?
I have been on Plavix for 5 weeks after a bare stent placement - am seeing a new cardiologist next week so in between docs, but have pale skin since started Plavix. Should I discontinue now? I have read that this a very serious side effect from it. Thank you.

Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Known side effect indeed / Stopping the drugs may ultimately lead to an attack
See your doctor as soon as possible / The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
