 1  bronchitis severe stomach pains, dizziness, ear ringing, hot flashes, This stuff is pure poison! Started taking medication, two days later started having stomach pains. Thought I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me. next day pains got worst, felt dizzy, nauseous, couldn't eat. I nearly passed out on two different occasions. I spent 3 days in bed. Starting to feel better but I pray there are no long range affects from this stuff. No reason whatsoever to take this medication especially if you are over the age of 60. It is not worth the risk and there are plenty of other antibiotics with out the risky side effects. F 61 5 days

 1  ear infection (cartilage) cellulit The day after I started taking this drug I woke up with a severe stiff neck. Couldn't turn left or right. Didn't associate it with the drug until the next day. Was the same severity for the next 3 days. Called my doc to change drugs. Sent me to the er for iv meds. The er doc who prescribed it orginally said it was no way the levaquin. I told her I will not take it anymore. She did prescribed a new Med. However I hope this let's up soon because it's very painful. I feel for the people that have pains all over from this drug F 58 3 days

 1  Pneumonia Severe muscle soreness--like hurt to even touch-upper back, ribs, chest, shoulders, neck and base of skull. I thought this was due to coughing but I am now day 5 days past last dose and still experiencing the intense muscle soreness. It feels like I have been in a bad wreck. The symptoms seem to start at night, around 7:00 or 8:00 p.m. It hurts to even lie down in the bed. Most morning the pain is gone but will come back that night. It is very strange. I know it is related to this medicine because I have not changed anything in my daily routine. On a side note, I had to go to dr. three different times as I couldn't get over the pneumonia. I was prescribed Levaquin 750 for 7 days the first time and received a steroid shot. I took 500mg Keflex twice a day for 7 days, steroid shot and rocephin shot. The 3rd time back to 750 mg. Levaquin but this time for 10 days and a steroid shot. I was also taking plan Mucinex. F 39 10 days

 1  Cat bite Excruciating pain all over my body. Head swelled up, edema in my calves and feet, couldn't walk, hallucinations, nightmares, to this day I am in excruciating pain two years later. Severe Night jerks, still have edema, pain in hands, feet, calves, elbows. I'm totally disabled but have to work because I'm single. Someone needs to help us that are unable to file lawsuit. Someone needs to step up and realize how many of us are ruined for life due to a drug company reaping all the profits off of all of us that are living life in hell due to this drug. Please, please somebody help us. I have peripheral neuropathy that is unbearable. I'm in bed if I'm not at work. Please help us, please! I weaned myself off of oxycontin since being on it from the levaquin. Now I know, the oxycontin works. The DEA is so concerned about oxycontin, yet if I continue to stay off of it, I am in debilitating pain. I was a hiker, a very active individual. I need someone to help all of us that have been given a life sentence from the use of levaquin. A judge, an attorney, someone with a heart please help us. We can't live life without being in excruciating pain. We need help, please! This drug must be taken off the market NOW! The drug company needs to take care of all of us that can prove our symptoms. I'll be the first to back every person suffering from this killing drug. Please, I'm begging someone to step up and help us. F 59 7 days
