Dr. Hepworth used to put his patients w/ IJV compression on Plavix but a couple of years ago he switched to Brillinta (not sure why).Taking a blood thinner seems to help improve vascular outflow from the brain for some people thus reducing symptoms. Thatā€™s likely why Dr. Fargen prescribed it for you.

@Isaiah_40_31 , I prefer plavix because it has a lower bleed risk, it is once daily dosing, and it cost me $3 with my insurance plan. Now letā€™s see if it helps.

Yes - surgery wasnā€™t badā€¦ but didnā€™t properly check my schedule before moving forward with it and had to go back to work only three weeks later. Definitely recommend better planning !

@Garden_Smurf -

Brillinta is quite pricy for sure!! I paid a whopping amount for mine then couldnā€™t take it for even a month because it made my symptoms worse. I hope Plavix is very helpful for you.
