Deep Vein Thrombosis Posted: 12-20-03 07:12am


Hi, I am on warfarin 4mg per day. I have two clots in my calf. Can I take st john's wort herbal tablet whilst on the warfarin. I was diagnosed with dvt on the 4 nov 2003, then had the leg doplar scanned on dec 17 2003, only to find the clots are still there. Do they go away and how long should I stay on the warfarin. I had been told to stop the tablets the day before the scan, then told to go back on them. I am so totaly confused and upset. I don't understand, will I be okay? I am also going through menopaus and was taken off premarin (eostrogen). I am suffering with the horrible hot flushes and mood swings. What can I take that won't interfere with warfarin. I am desperate, can you help.

I'm not quite sure about your question about st. John wort, however, I too am on warfrin from a clot behind my knee and where a piece of it broke off and traveled to my lung. I am just starting my 3rd month of treatment and they have told me that it takes months for the clots to go away. Mine are still there. If you are anything like me I want them out now!!! But that isn't how it works. I've actually been put on anxiety medicine (paxil cr) to get me through this. It just takes time.
