Aspirin

I was on coumidin for 18 months after my sagital sinus thrombosis and have been on antisezure medicine and will be for the rest of my life.  I currently take Aspirin 325 mg every day and I am thinking of going down to either 81mg daily or nothing.  I went to 3 Hemotologists and 2 wanted me on coumidin for the rest of my life and only 1 said nothing was ok or aspirin was ok since it had been 10 years and I haven't had any clots.  Most of the clot in my brain resolved accept just a little.  

What should I do????

Hi, welcome to the forum, initially when you had attack usually heparin or low molecular weight heparin is administrated. Then it is followed by coumarin like warfarin therapy for 4-6 months then the treatment is discontinued.

As you have been on long term coumarin therapy and the clots have resolved completely you can gradually come off of coumarin. A low dose of aspirin (75-150 mg) can be continued indefinitely, as it helps in prevention of formation of clots. I would suggest you to consult your physician for further advice. Take care and regards.
