| 1 | Prostititis | Pins and needles, tendinitis in Achilles, knee, ankle, muscle pain. Was on the drug for 3 days and just left the ER. This is the worst drug. My doctor told me that this is very rare. Well guess what- it really isn't! I'm pissed - why would any doctor prescribe this - FIRST DO NO HARM WTH! | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! | M | 40 | 3 days 250 mg | 8/27/2017 | 5 | Sinus infection | I had good luck with this drug | M | 62 | 10 days | 7/7/2017 | 5 | Bronchial pneumonia | I felt really tired and a little jittery, but otherwise no problems. | It did the job | F | 64 | 1 weeks 500mg | 5/31/2017 | 1 | Surgery for Myomectomy (partial Hyst | Numbness and tingling of all extremeties. Dizziness, High Blood Pressure. Lethargy, Gut and mitochndria damage. Vision problems and photo sensitivity. I had migraines and nausea for two weeks then got admitted to the ER for Atrial Fibulation!! Right top of foot damage, not able to walk correctly for 7 months due to pain. Cubital tunnel syndrome in my elbows. Shoulder back and neck pain. I cannot kneel on my knees even 4 years later due to severe pain. Peripheral Neuropathy. I believe it also messed with my adrenals and thyroid gland. | This insidious drug should be banned!! It has ruined my health and is ruining my heart because I need to keep taking the darn meds for the afib and blood pressure that it caused. I had a partial hysterectomy because it is better for the heart. Well, that backfired because this drug has caused Atrial Fibulation of my heart. I suggest anyone to take magnesium glycinate, NAC and probiotics and research other things you can take to try and get your health back. I am four years out and still have symptoms and they keep coming. Some have gone but others come. It is very sad. Stay away from this one and Cipro and Avelox and any other Fluoroquinolone antibiotics or their generic versions!! Azithromycin (z pack) can also cause heart issues. Check the internet for healing and other help. The fda needs to stop this drug, they already have black box warnings now take it off the effing market!! I mean wth!! It should be reserved for near death situations only, not a simple uti or ear or sinus infection!! Inform your family and friends about this, you may save their life! Get yourself checked for aortic dissection, aortic aneurism and your heart if you have taken any of these! | F | 53 | 2 days IV 1X day | 4/18/2017 | 1 | Severe Ear Infection | The first night I took it I couldn't sleep and I felt very gettery..I then started throwing up severely. I refused to take anymore after that | Definitely wouldn't recommend this antibiotic to anyone! | F | 32 | 1 days 5pills1xda | 4/9/2017 | 1 | Sinus Infection | The first night I took it, I experienced terrible Insomnia. I felt jittery and almost a nervous like feeling, however, I thought after it was because I also took one Musinex (advised by my dr that I could). I decided to discontinue after that first night. About two weeks later, I had 4 pills left and because my sinus infection was not getting any better, I decided to finish the 4 days, but take it during the day. I am on my 4th day today and I have to say, I agree with the majority. I wish I had not taken them because yesterday the back of my calf started hurting.. which I have never had issues with (almost like I ran to much) and this am I noticed my knees were sore and popping when I came downstairs, which prompted me to start looking online at the reviews. I wish I had of done that prior. Now I am praying that the calf pain stops and praying no internal damage has been done by taking this. I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS AGAIN. I agree with most comments that with the majority of the fee | F | 42 | 5 days 750mg 1X day | 4/7/2017 | 1 | Resistant pneumonia | None as havn't taken it. Got given it because I have a resistant strain of pneumonia(milder form) which was not resistant to start with it happened because I was underdosed a previous antibiotic amoxicillin in only 250mgs I'm 60kgs wtf does docs be at at all. Iv held off taking this medicine as I know I'll get the side effects and there's no guarantee it will work. Although I'm sick of the lung pain n fatigue I'd rather wait for the respiratory specialist appointment. I need ct scan and bronchoscopy at this stage as I can't get up mucus to test it. I'm not trying anything else unless I know it will work. What a nightmare. And have to fight with docs 4 help n waiting on apps while my life is on hold. Joke. | Thanks to that person is who put up that l glutathione I think it was helps with this. I ordered it online to supplement in case Iv no choice but to take this. I can't live with this infection in my lung forever so frustrated that a simple moderate infection was easily treatable but I wasn't given enough of a simple antibiotic amoxicillin as if there was drought on or something n bacteria adapted n can fend off all antibiotics. That's why was looking at having to take this now. I'm so sorry to all the ppl that's health have been damaged by this it's very sad indeed. I hope god will give yous healing but I know this doesn't work. I'm being very cautious this time as one year ago flagyl damaged my health by shrinking my right leg - it wasted my leg muscles AND bone yes f*g bone unbelievable. I think it shrunk all my bones abit. I'm undergoing physio for the wasted muscles which are slowly improving n now on calcium supplements for osteopenia which I attribute to the flagyl. However this wasn't the flagyl alone it was coz I'm extremely low potassium too at same time. I later read that flagyl passes through potassium while being processed obviously with no potassium in legs it allowed the flagyl to seep into muscles n bone releasing it's toxics n hense gobbling up my leg. Was very hard to convince docs of this at first. Everything that happens Me is hard to show up on some test n they think I'm mad. You can clearly see one leg smaller than other and thinner upon flexing. | F | 32 | 1 days 500mgs | 2/18/2017 | 1 | UTI | If I had know I would have NEVER taken this - I want to know why a doctor would prescribe this when the CDC and FDA recommend this drug NOT BE GIVEN FOR routine infections!! I took this Oct 2016 and my insides still feel terrible with HORRIBLE burning vag and tons of gas. Doc and OBgyn state all appear normal. THIS COMPANY should pay everyone who has taken it. I am a very healthy active 52 year old and this has been incredibly invasive to my health and lifestyle - SO PISSED!! | F | 50 | 10 days 100 2X day | 2/16/2017 | 3 | Tonsillitis | One day in and I can't sleep. | M | 22 | 5 days 500MG | 2/15/2017 | 1 | H-Pylori infection | Within hours right arm hurt so bad I couldn't lift it, left arm not so bad. I was told by E.R. Dr to continue taking it. Now have torn rotorcuffs. Gone thru physical therapy and now need surgery. | NEVER EVER TAKE LEVAQUIN! It's ruined my quality of life. At my age of 80 rotorcuff surgery is not something I want to undergo. | F | 79 | 10 days | 2/13/2017 | 1 | urinary tract infection | lips burned badly, then blistered ans peeled open; stomach pain; terrible muscle pain from neck to feet; knees, feet & upper arms hurt badly; exhaustion; no energy; | had a problem with cipro a few years ago and doctor ans pharmacist never should have given this drug to me; i take steroids and have ra and those are 2 reasons to NOT have levaquin, cipro or any other drug in this class | F | 64 | 3 days 1X day | 2/10/2017 | 1 | urinary tract infection | Extreme joint and muscle pain particularly in my legs, could not walk, permanent nerve damage resulting in neuropathy in feet.

There are class action suits against it, I should have joined! | F | 57 | 10 days ? 1X day | 1/27/2017 | 1 | Bronchitius and urinary tract infec | I am still battling the side effects of Levaquin. For 1 full year now I have been experiencing joint pain threw out my body. In June of 2,016 I had a total hip replacement. It's December now and guess what I still hurt all over and I need another total hip replacement, I'm only 57. I went from one day walking and being normal to the next day a cripple that hurts. | This drug has ruined my livelihood, my attitude, my ambition and my ability to run, jump everything I use to do even walk. I read the stuff on Levaquin and was hesitant to take it but I figured the Doctor knew what he was doing. I was so careful how I moved, not to strain, or fall or twist anything and to this day I am still a cripple in pain. Levaquin is a horrible drug which should be taken off the market. I don't understand why the Doctor gave me such an overkill drug. I am angry and scared because I may never be like I use to be. This has really effected my job, my life my attitude and most of all my self esteem . I hate this drug it should be gone, off the market. | F | 57 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 12/15/2016 | 1 | vaginal infection | It is a poison. I felt like I aged 30 years. It felt like RA, pain, swelling, tendonitis all over for months, tinnitus, weight loss. depression, frozen shoulder | Improve your immune system naturally, change your diet, eat healty, DO NOT TAKE THIS UNLESS YOUR ARE SEPTIC. It will kill bacteria, but in process it might "kill" you as well. | F | 38 | 10 days 500 1X day | 11/25/2016 | 1 | pneumonia | Last 8 years in extreme pain mental ly and physically fibromyalgia muscles bones joints ligaments tendons burning stabing tearing full body nerve | Anything thats been stated about this drug.I've experienced including MIRA Shingles. | M | 63 | 6 weeks I V | 11/23/2016 | 1 | pneumonia | Last 8 years in extreme pain mentally and physically fibromyalgia muscles bones joints ligaments tendons burning stabing tearing full body nerve | Anything thats been stated about this drug.I've experienced including MIRA Shingles. | M | 63 | 6 weeks I V | 11/23/2016 | 1 | UTI | Took Levofloxacin for 5 out of 10 days of doses and my whole body went into "acute Tendonitis due to Levofloxicin" according to the Urgent Care doctor that prescribed this drug. This was August 2015. Today I'm suffering what I believe is tendon tears in my foot along with nerve damage - painful. I also suffer flare ups of tendonitis through out my body. My doctor has been of no help, she became very dismissive when the subject of Levofloxicin and my reaction to it got brought to her attention, she said I'd have a hard time trying to prove my symptoms were from this drug. I'm looking for a new doctor. | I hate this drug! | F | 59 | 5 days 500 MG | 11/1/2016 | 1 | Strep | I took this drug for the full 10 days and had taken it before in iv form so thought I could tolerate it. Now a couple of weeks later I am having trouble walking because of severe pain in my legs and hip. My hands also hurt if I use them too much. I have such pain that I could cry and I am usually able to tolerate pain better than this.It is horrible. I am in so much pain that it is hard to sleep or work. This med should be banned everywhere. I know there are other antibiotics that can work as well. | How much do doctors get to push this drug on unsuspecting people??? | F | 10 days 500 1X day | 10/29/2016 | 1 | Suspected uti | Achilles tendon tears,bruising, stiff painful joints and muscle pain,insomnia, fatigue,dry eye,mouth,anxiety, gastroparaisis, intestinal mobility issues, etc. | Never again with no warning from a,trusted Dr or pharmacy.
