| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR LEVAQUIN | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | bronchitis | Side effects started with burning fingertips and tingling forearms. Before the pill wore off, my ears rang, bottled water tasted like sugar water and most of the color was gone from my eyesight. Then my legs started to twitch and cramp, so I took 2 "leg cramp" pills. I was mentally confused and rightly anxious. | I have no lasting effects from Levaquin except terrifying memories. The drug company should include an antidote in the fine print. When my mom took it for a urinary tract infection, it worked perfectly with no side effects. | F | 64 | 1 days 500mg 1X day | 8/8/2015 | 1 | infection | bad experience. Ended up on the ground outside my house and my tendons in my legs would not support me. I crawled/drug myself back inside. | I will never take this drug again. It is a dangerous drug and my feeling is that it should be taken off the market. | F | 56 | 4 days unknown 3X day | 8/8/2015 | 1 | Kidney Stones | Was prescribed this for a urinary tract infection after passing a kidney stone. Within a few days of starting levaquin I began having severe back and leg pain. Two days later I developed a headache that would not go away. I also had my sleeping rhythms get all messed up and my hands and arms developed neruopathy with the classic pins and needles feeling . I'm a week off of levaquin and the headache is now finally going away and my hand and arms feel normal again, but I'm extremely fatigued and walking is difficult for me due to the pain and weakness in my leg. Fortunately I have not experienced any tendon or issues, but my head is in a fog that will not go away. My boss at work has had a similar experience and is willing to deal with these issues while I hopefully recover. | After making the connection and reading about this drug, I'm appalled that it's being used so freely by doctors. | M | 35 | 6 days 500mg 1X day | 8/8/2015 | 5 | E.coli UTI and epididymitis | First couple of days, I was sick and not eating much. Tongue is sometimes numb. I sweat a lot. On day 7, halfway through, I'm tolerating it a lot better. Lost 5.5 pounds in 1 week without trying, which is the biggest side effect. That's probably due to not wanting to eat much. As far as the original problem, it seems to be clearing up the infection fine. By day 3, the fever had finally broken. | M | 45 | 7 days 500 MG 1X day | 7/25/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | Took ONE pill and immediately had tingling in my feet. Had terrible insomnia and anxiety all night, and in the morning had very bad leg pain. The leg cramps are gone now but still have mild wrist pain, tingling in legs and arms 3 days later. I'm glad I read the online comments and knew to stop taking it after 1 pill, but still scared I could have lasting effects. | If your doctor prescribes this for a non life-threatening infection, ask for another type of antibiotic. I do not understand why it is being prescribed for basic sinus infections and UTIs. | F | 26 | 1 days 750 MG 1X day | 7/13/2015 | 1 | Urine infection | Constipation, stomach chest and throat burning,abdominal burning flatulence, legs and arms pains, deppresion, I think that I will die. | This drug almost killed me. I stoped taking it for about 2 weeks and the toxicity persist all over my body. | M | 26 | 3 weeks 500 | 7/4/2015 | 1 | UTI | Horrible knee pain...only took it for 5 days and now it has been over a month and the pain is worse every day. Horrid drug, and it affects my life terribly. Both knees ache, and if I walk more than 50 feet I pay for it all day. So many other antibiotics to take...please don't take this. The other side effects, like shoulder pain and nausea went away, but this is awful. FDA, please pay attention to this drug and ban it from the market. We had planned on retiring and living on a sailboat, but now I don't think I can do it. The side effects can be permanent and reading the other comments, can result in many other ways. All of them are life-changing and painful. | F | 56 | 5 days 500 2X day | 6/25/2015 | 1 | Severe Sinus Infection, or UTI | Horrible Drug. Dizziness, blacking out and Acute Joint paint on first day. I have tendon and joint injury. This medication instantly exacerbated symptoms to where i had to cautiously walk on stairs. Could feel tightening in tendons. Leg pains were the worst, shoulder joint pain appeared on this drug. Took a few months for the pain to subside after going off this drug. | Avoid unless there is no other option to treat your symptoms. Avoid if you have pre existing joint issues, tendon or muscle injury or osteoarthritis. | F | 10 days 250 1X day | 6/16/2015 | 5 | H. Pylori | Stiff tendons, now and then a bit dizzy 1 hour after taking. dry mouth. Lethargic at times but after day 10 more energy. | I used the brand Cravit (Levofloxacin). it is the Japanese brand from the company that first created the drug. I had very little side affects. I did take it at same times every day with heaps of food (full meal, yoghurt and Yakult) morning and night. It worked for me. I was very weary if taking it as I have had a bad experience with Flagyl so understand what most folks have gone through with this drug. I would strongly recommend getting hold of the Japanese brand Cravit. worked for me. | M | 40 | 14 days 500mg 2X day | 6/11/2015 | 1 | Cellulitis | deppression,rrapid heartbeat,ibs | I thought i died and went to hell.The deppression was so bad i was suicidal..tHE INFECTION IN MY WRIST FELT worse..Insomnia,i slept and hour in 5 days/I cant believe people could stay on this poison for more then 5 days// This drug was made by the devil. | M | 33 | 5 days 750mg 1X day | 6/8/2015 | 1 | post-surgery wound care | I was given this medication after having colon surgery to decrease the weeping of the wound. I feel horrible on this medicine and then stopping it after 3 days I only wish that stopped it sooner. it is a horrible medicine I have head ache and it feels like I have a fever and my body is aching terribly especially my calf. I'm also having terrible stomach problems I'm not sure whether this is from the medication or something else. Please, don't take this medicine insist your doctor give you something safer with less side effects. I will say that it did decrease the wound weeping | M | 50 | 3 days 500 | 6/7/2015 | 3 | pneumonia and boils | severe tendon pain | I have taken levaquin on several occasions but noticed that high dosages cause tendon pain. I told my doctor who has received the same complaint from other patients. He told me to cut it ij half since I had already filled the prescription | F | 45 | 7 days 500 mg | 6/5/2015 | 4 | Chronic Sinus Infection | I've taken this medicine for years! NEVER HAD ANY BAD reactions to it. VERY VERY surprised at the negative comments. Never experienced any of them in all my years of taking this. | F | 34 | 20 days 500 MG 1X day | 6/4/2015 | 1 | UTI | Pheriperal Neuropathy,excruciating joints pains,imsonia,liver pain,chest pain,stabbing pains on face, total distruction of gut flora. | This is not medication, it is poison. God have mercy on the people who still have this poison on the market. | M | 47 | 5 days 500 mg | 6/1/2015 | 1 | pneumonia | SEVERELY CHEST PAINS AND MUSCLE PAIN IN MY UPPER ARM MUSCLE SENSIBLE TO LIGHT OUTSIDE IN THE SUN I FELT LIKE I LOST MY EYESIGHT IN MY RIGHT EYE | I'LL NEVER USE IT AGAIN OR RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE | F | 58 | 5 days 500 | 5/11/2015 | 1 | Bacterial infection | Severe tendon pain and candida in my gut and rib area that will not go away. My life has changed for the worse and I will never recommend this antibiotic. They need to remove it from the market ASAP . | EXTREMELY NASTY SHOULD HAVE SKULLS ALL OVER PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE WITH WARNINGS | F | 52 | 10 days 500 2X day | 4/27/2015 | 2 | pneumonia | Severe nightmares, low blood sugar, depression | F | 45 | 3 days | 4/23/2015 | 3 | for pneumonia but it's not over | She hasn't been able to sleep, as she's up right now since 11:45pm and 2:35am now and has TV on. She's been slurring when speaking, disoriented but has improved and I am not sure if it's because of the 2 protandims a day and probiotics as I wouldn't want to know if she didn't take these supplements, yet I am kinda interested to know if protandim and probiotics are making the difference. We are not out of the danger zone yet as she had taken her 10th levofloxacin last night. | After looking at these fluoroquinolone class antibiotics, esp. levofloxacin 500 mgs, I been very uptight about her outcome as she has an appt. with doctor on Monday | F | 87 | 10 days 500 mgs | 4/12/2015 | 1 | bronchitis | Excruciating muscle pain, with spasms.it's been 3 months and still suffering. | Should be taken off the market!!! | F | 74 | 6 days 750 | 4/12/2015 | 1 | Bronchitus | It has been almost 2 months since I took levaquin, the pain is unbearable. My joints, muscles, I don't know how to explain it but everything hurts so bad. Even my hands. I cant pull myself up if I kneel the pain in my knees. I am getting very depressed. I cant do anything that I normally did. | This drug has ruined me, will I ever get better? its devasted my life. I am in pain all the time, my whole body hurts. I would caution anyone to never take this. I have know idea how long this pain will last. I want my life back | F | 57 | 10 days 500 1X day | 4/12/2015 |
