If you have a spinal or epidural procedure while you use Eliquis, tell your doctor at once if you notice any symptoms of nerve problems (eg, back pain, numbness [especially in the legs and feet], tingling, muscle weakness, paralysis, loss of bowel or bladder control).
Pruritus and rash are very common side effects of eliquis. Pruritus has been reported in up to 10 % of subjects taking eliquis. In my opinion if side effects are so troublesome this drug should be stopped under your doctors supervision as he has already decrease the dose from 5 mg twice daily to 2.5 mg twice daily.
