Does eating food shortly after taking a blood thinner affect how the medication works, and will the memory loss, confusion, and concentration problems caused by my current anxiety medication completely go away once I stop taking it?
For most blood thinners, like apixaban or rivaroxaban, food does not negatively impact how they work, though some are actually best taken with food. Regarding your anxiety medication, cognitive side effects like memory loss and confusion are very common, especially with medications like benzodiazepines. Fortunately, these symptoms are typically temporary and usually resolve completely once the medication is safely and gradually stopped under your doctor's supervision. Please do not stop your medication suddenly. I recommend discussing a safe tapering plan with your prescribing doctor.
