Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.
I believe you were very lucky that you could benefit from tpa, and the symptoms you are experiencing are acceptable after a major event, like stroke.
Xarelto is the best and the only recommended treatment after stroke for at least a few months.
Hope this helps.
