Warfarin side effects

Last year my wife (38) had a mild stroke and since then has been on warfarin. Apart from the tiredness that seems to go with this course of drugs, it would appear to provoke mood swings which is not doing wonders for our relationship. Her INR readings have always been within the parameters specified upon discharge from hospital (2 to 3). Due to the tiredness she is unable to drive or return to work as she is a factory worker responsible for operating machinery. We don't need the money but being cooped up in the house is really getting to her, and combined with the mood swings this is making things ten times worse. Her doctor says she must just grin and bear this but if she stays on this then one or both of us will go crazy. Someone else must have this problem too. Any suggestions?
