Taking Plavix For PAD, Have Stent In Leg. Reason For Exhaustion And Failing Memory?
Hi, I am taking Plavix for PAD of which I have had a stint implanted in my leg for the last 10 years or so. My doctor put me on Plavix within the last 5 years or so because the stint gets blocked every couple of years. This requires a clean up of the area from time to time. My question concerns the Plavix I am taking. I have been going through a very rough time in my life with exhaustion and fatigue. I find that my memory is failing as well. I am 53 years old and feel like 73. Can you figure this?

Patients on plavix need prompt medical attention for fever, weakness, extreme
skin paleness, purple skin patches, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or neurological
changes.Memory loss might not be unrelated to the drug.I suggest to discuss with your physician without further delay.Hope this helps.Take care.
