At last I'm able to come off Clopidogrel... Currently taking 37.5mg. and will be pleased to stop taking it. 

One less medication from the many I take daily!

I finally got the 'go ahead' from my Neuro-Radiologist advising that I could now stop taking Clopidogrel... This will be done next week, but one has to wean off the medication slowly to do this properly.

I am so pleased to hear this news; one medication less from so many I take per day!

I recently saw my Neuro-Radiologist who advised that my blood is too thin now. He cut my dosage of Clopidrogel down to 37.5mgs. Regret, this medication has several side effects. I've also found out that due to low dosage, I've had more seizures.
