| 1 | Pneumonia | After 1 dose the side effects took approx. 2 hours later. I experienced extreme vertigo. I could not open my eyes for the room started spinning. I live alone and was very scared. I had to crawl to bathroom to vomit from the terrible nausea I experienced . Eventually turning to dry heaving. I got back to bed and kept my head very still to get thru the night .called my daughter in morning who took me to hospital . It is now day 4 after taking the drug and am home. But I still feel off balanced when walking around I hope this feeling will go away soon. I have Fibro and am sensitive to alot of drugs and I am perturbed that my physician gave me this drug knowing the bad side effects it had. | F | 61 | 1 days 500mg | 6/14/2014 | 1 | BEWARE of anyone claiming they have a cure for the horrific & often crippling/disabling side effects of this poisonous antibiotic. A cure does not exist. It's bad enough that we were poisoned for $$ in the first place, and then to have snake oil salesmen descend upon us once we've fallen ill, well that's just disgusting and disgraceful. | F | 1X day | 6/12/2014 | 1 | Infection | Tendon degeneration. Pain- been in a wheel chair for 6 months now. Starting to get better. Had just ONE pill. This is very dangerous. Only take if you are going to die. Even then you might wan to consider that dying only lasts a short while. | M | 49 | 1 days 700 1X day | 6/7/2014 | 1 | Kidney infection | Kidney Systemic Tendon & ligament pain and disability. Central & Peripheral Nervous System problems. Neurological issues. Unable to walk, stand, or lay on my side. Excruciating pain in limbs, and feet. Weight loss, gum loss, hair loss. Trouble using arms and hands. Severe horrific experience. Only took 3 tablets. Set off auto-imune response for Sjorgrens. Dreadful and terrifying experience. | After 2 years of no progress, I did finally get help that got me standing, walking and exercising again. If anyone wants to learn about what I did that changed the course of disability to regained ability, email me. I am more than happy to share. These drugs are brutal, and I am furious that the FDA has known about it for 20 years. I am profoundly grateful for the recovery I have made and am forever changed by this experience. The medical system is duped just like us. I met a surgeon in Physical therapy injured like me...Email me, & I will share what I did to get my life back. | F | 49 | 1.5 days 500 mg 2X day | 5/27/2014 | 1 | premedicated for back procedure | Was given an IV first during procedure and sent home with 5 day supply. It has ruined my life. I lost hair, weight, developed tendinitis, hashimotos disease, adrenal insufficiency, tinnitus, swollen ankles, shocking in my legs, muscle atrophy and so much more. I can barely function. It has been over 2years | F | 54 | 5 days 750 | 5/25/2014 | 1 | mrsa sinus infection | muscle twitches, muscle spasms, muscle stiffness, muscle fatigue, anxiety, depression, pins and needles, numbness, ringing in ears | None of which i listed has not gone away. I took this does in March `14 and its now 2 months later and nothing has changed, I feel like my life is over | M | 43 | 10 days 750 1X day | 5/14/2014 | 1 | Respiratory Infection | Psychosis, Anxiety, Tremors, profuse sweating, dizziness, coordination is off, insomnia | Though I didn't think much about it at the time, I realize that the meds started to affect my thinking almost immediately after I received the injection at the doctors office. I held my head in my hands and told the nurse I felt like I was delirious. She said, it would stimulate my CNS, but temporarily. Two days later I'm staying awake all night and scribbling on 14 total sheets of paper my "Evidence" of who the Anti-Christ is as well as 3 of his 4 horseman. ... more and more agitated.... OCD. Unreal thoughts out of control. Luckily, my partner recognized something was wrong and helped me "slow my roll" with the thinking. I'm calling the doctor tomorrow and telling him I'm not taking the rest of the meds. It's 4:00am and my head is still no totally mine. | M | 45 | 10 days 500 mg 1X day | 5/12/2014 | 4 | Strep throat & sinus infection | Slight stomach discomfort some loose stool some brain fog with head pressure but coul be from sinus infection | No issues taking this antibiotic first took penicillin didn't work still had strep And symptoms now on day 5 feel better | M | 41 | 7 days 500 mg 1X day | 5/10/2014 | 1 | Sinus Infection | DRY EYE: noticed first night after taking it I felt tired. Luckily that is the only side effect I had most of the time. Was told to take 10 days or 21 if symptoms of infection remained. I stopped at 10 days when I noticed not only did it make me tired but my eyes felt sore. My eyes began hurting while I was driving and eventually I figured out it is dry eye. I never knew dry eye felt this way or could be this painful. I have never researched an antibiotic before...found this site and I feel blessed I didn't experience worse side effects. I really feel bad for those who have suffered from this drug. I hope my eyes go back to normal. Some days the drops help..but I have run into days where my eyes just hurt when I am driving or trying to focus. | F | 40 | 10 days 500mg | 5/8/2014 | 1 | Urinary Tract Infection | Leg swelling, tendon pain, uterine bleeding. Developed neuropathy both legs. Arms are now in pain - 4 mos. after drug.Do not use this drug or Cipro. | Sent to ER two times. Kidney pain also a problem. | F | 53 | 5 days 500mg 1X day | 5/5/2014 | 5 | Pneumonia | Minor side effects, but well worth it to be feeling so much better. I haven't taken many antibiotics in my life, the last time was Amoxicillin about 10 years ago. Hit with pneumonia quickly, didn't go to doc until 2 days later and was admitted into the hospital. I received 2 days of Levaquin intravenously. Some side effects, minor hallucinations the first couple nights when I tried to sleep, but who can sleep well in the hospital anyway.... Loss of appetite, tired ((although I contribute that to the infection) Sent home and on oral Levaquin at 750 mg for 5 days. I didn't realize this was one of the strongest antibiotics, but I am grateful for them, and I am not a big fan of pharmaceutical meds! This worked wonders for my pneumonia! | F | 43 | 5 days 750 mg | 4/28/2014 | 4 | Respiratory Infection | Mild upset stomach. | Levaquin is a strong antibiotic. For those of us who suffer stomach related issues from antibiotics, I highly recommend the follow measures: 1.) Take Levaquin WITH two capsules of Acidophilus...it works! 2.) Then...before bedtime, take one additional capsule of Acidophilus. 3.) Take the Levaquin with some food, and I also recommend taking it with Ginger Ale. Ginger will assist with soothing your stomatch. | M | 42 | 3 days 500 MG 1X day | 4/27/2014 | 3 | Cellulitis | Although it cleared the infection, I had a headache, earache and extreme swelling all over my body. I was so uncomfortable, I had to stop taking the med. More than 24 hours after stopping, the swelling is lessening but still there. | F | 54 | 8 days 500 1X day | 4/17/2014 | 1 | Stomach ulcer | my Back, (what happened) never-have-any-back issues and every body tendon,hamstring, mucles and hip- joints HURT neck pain, diarrhea, tongue blistered w/bleeding cracks down the center of my tongue? trouble breathing, LEGs-HURT w/plantar fasciitis, headaches-Again So exhausted!! | A -Runner (until the last few weeks) I Simply Can't Move!! Pain-So Much Worst in the Mornings (Crying- Becuz ?What the heck happened to me? | F | 49 | 10 days 500 2X day | 4/17/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection | Extremely bad burning in stomach, tongue blistered. Finished several days ago. I am miserable. Wonder how long it will take to get out of my system or if it has caused damage to stomach. | If given a choice of dying or taking it I would just die. | F | 63 | 10 days 500 1X day | 4/11/2014 | 1 | pneumonia | Burning/tearing sensation in right hip, numbness in hands, headaches, neck pain, diarrhea, difficulty walking, trouble sleeping | If I had known this medicine was going to cause me the pain it did, I would never have taken it. I felt worse after taking just 3 of the 7 pills prescribed for me. I DC'd myself since my Dr. wouldn't return my phone calls. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE, unless you want to suffer from the side effects for the rest of your life. NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!! | F | 47 | 3 days 500 mg 1X day | 4/11/2014 | 1 | sinusitis | I had trouble breathing.. like i was suffocating. . everything felt strange... my skin felt like it was crawling. . I took benadryl after calling the physician he seemed disinterested in what I was experiencing. . I had very vivid dreams.. for next several days.. I did feel better the next day but I can not handle the panic attack that goes with this medicine. . It is a very real and scary feeling when you can't breathe. . | 40 | 1 days 500 MG | 4/6/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection | Paranoia, tendon pain, malaise, depression, anxiety, muscle aches. This is the only medication I tell my doctor that I am allergic too. Sometimes they look at me a little funny so I wonder if it's well known in the healthcare community how dangerous this drug is. | This drug should be banned forever and all people ever prescribed it compensation for misery and painful experiences. I suppose if it winds up saving a life down the road, OK...but it seems like more harm than good. | M | 40 | 3 days 500 2X day | 4/3/2014 | 1 | my mom was taking levaquin in 2009. | My mom was taking levaquin in 2009 ut mad her very sick she lost six pints blood in hospital they gave her six units blood they said they didn't know where the six pints went to. in 2010 she got pnemonia they gave her levaquin again she said she was scared of it didn't want to take it anymore. but she had to take it she called my grandma that night said she didn't feel good she was going to lay down but she told my grandma if anything happens to her she said its cause of this medicine and she's made things right with the lord. and well we all got a huge shock the next morning when we were told my mom passed away she was 57 years old | M | 43 | 1 days | 4/2/2014 | 1 | Infection | Tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, headache, earache, joint pains, unable to concentrate, insomnia, stomach upset, floaters. I lost | This is the worst drug ever manufactured, I can't believe the FDA approved it and that my doctor prescribed it when I am 68 years old and have psoriatic arthritis and asthma. I lost my ability to do my job and had to go on disability. | F | 68 | 4 days 500 1X day | 4/1/2014 |
