Your question got truncated. There are many anticoagulants that can be used in the treatment and prevention of blood clots, Eliquis is only one of them. A careful decision making process includes the risk of bleeding as a possible contraindication to anticoagulants in general.

If you are paraplegic and venous thrombosis, you should be back on anticoagulants to prevent lung embolism. If Tegretol is interacting with the Eliquis, your doctor will need to choose another drug in its place. Good luck.
