| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR LEVAQUIN | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | chronic sinusitis | Experienced joint pain in hands, hips, knees and feet. | Sinusitis is improved. | F | 41 | 30 days | 3/26/2005 | 4 | sinus infection | no side effects | Killed off the bug, otherwise I couldn't even tell I was taking it. I react very badly to sulfa, penicillin, and erythromycin, so it was a pleasant surprise. | M | 30 | 10 days | 3/25/2005 | 4 | staff infection | 500mg 1 per day. Feet felt a bit cold (1-2 hours after taking). Kept me from sleeping well (took dosage at 4pm). Hands still feel a bit on the chilly side. Still, it's better than being dead. | Recommend not taking this in the afternoon if you want to be able to sleep soundly. And please folks, it is CRITICAL you read the warnings that come with the medication. Never take it with NSAIDs and tell your pharmacist and doctor if you take any steroids (inhalers). With this medicine it's critical they know. | M | 39 | 10 days | 2/16/2005 | 4 | Bronchitis, Pnumonia | Severe stomach cramps and diaharrea after third day. Also experienced extreme itching on entire upper body and mild rash on face. | M | 39 | 6 days | 2/13/2005 | 4 | diverticulitis | After 1st dose notice increased activitiy; which to me, is a good thing, and nervousness........like a large shot of caffeine! Indigestion - like a huge lump in my chest.........but, hey, it beats laying in the hospital for 4 days with IV antibiotics. The trick is catching diverticulitis quickly and treating it with Levaquin and Flagyl. | F | 47 | 7 days | 12/11/2004 | 4 | sinus infection; pharyngitis | Nausea for the first day or two, but this could have been from the infection. Possible dizziness which could also be from the infection. Otherwise, no side effects. | I have taken this drug before for sinus infections and it was very effective. Took a 10 day dose and then needed it for an extra 7 days because the infection started to recur after a few days off the drug. | F | 55 | 17 days | 11/18/2004 | 4 | kidney infection | weird neuropathy on face and head. had very achey calfs/shins a day after finishing the 3 day supply. overall feel lousy, anxious, headaches, eye twitches. | i had a bad reaction to cipro with similar effects two years ago. forgot how bad it was. won't take these types of antibiotics ever again!:( | M | 41 | 3 days | 11/13/2004 | 4 | Chronic UTI | Insomnia for first 5 days. Dizziness. Difficulty concentrating. Felt strange in general. | It did work on the infection. I could feel my bladder healing. I just wish the side effects weren't so bad. | F | 47 | 21 days | 10/14/2004 | 4 | tiny penis | brain fog, my fingernails hurt, and my sphinqter wouldn't stop twitching. | M | 33 | 10 days | 10/5/2004 | 4 | pneumonia | Foggy thinking, muscle pains, joint pain, sweats, insomnia, rapid weight gain, weakness, numbness of feet & arms, headaches. | I have not taken it for 7 months and my hands are still going numb. At first my arms were VERY weak and would go completely numb up to my shoulders. I gained over 30 pounds within a month after I finished the dosage. I have always weighed between 120 to 130 without dieting. I got up to 163 before it started coming off. Almost back to normal now without any changes to my diet. | F | 54 | 10 days | 8/2/2004 | 4 | bronchitis | irritability/nervousness, sleeplessness | I've been on 750mg/day for the past 2 days & already, I can't sleep. I've got bags under my eyes & my mind is racing. The only way that I've found to be able to sleep is to stay doped up on benadryl. Don't know if I'd opt for the higher dossage in the future. | M | 36 | 5 days | 7/4/2004 | 4 | pneumonia | Felt very nauseous most of the time. | It did take care of the pneumonia. | F | 79 | 10 days | 4/26/2003 | 4 | sinus infection | irritability/nervousness, sleeplessness | I read that one should avoid caffeine while taking this and similar drugs (such as CIPRO) | M | 36 | 14 days | 11/1/2001 | 5 | Sinus infection | Temporary light sensitivity | Levaquin cured my brutal sinus infection. As a third-round antibiotic, it spared me from being hospitalized with IV treatment. It’s an essential drug. | 44 | 10 days | 12/30/2018 | 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 | 5 | Diverticulitis | Sore muscles and tendons in legs and feet. Hard to stand up and walking is unbearable. Constant pain. I will never take this drug or "ciprofloxacin" antibiotic either . So dangerous | F | 63 | 10 days | 7/17/2016 | 5 | Diverticulitis | My side affects were that it killed the infection almost instantly and I feel better than ever! | I am taking Cravit 500mg, not the generic. I am in Japan where this stuff originated. This is my third bout of this pain in the intestine thing. Happens once every two years it seems. | M | 62 | 5 days 500mg 1X day | 6/11/2016 | 5 | Uti | Abou a month after taking it, I started getting heel pain, which has gotten worse and worse. The pain got so bad that I ended up at a hand and foot specialist. The pain also started moving into my knee. The doctor did an MRI and I have severe plantar fasciitis and and a torn something in my foot. I am now in a boot and on crutches for 6 weeks. | M | 59 | 10 days 2X day | 3/4/2016 | 5 | Upper Respiratory Infection | Duration of treatment: fatigue, dry mouth. Last 2-3 days of treatment: calf muscle cramps in the middle of the night; insomnia (I also take restoril so I suspect interaction) | I am on Enbrel for rheumatoid arthritis, and developed a persistent upper respiratory infection in November of 2015, beginning with sinus infection. Seemed to get a little better after 10 day course of Augmentin in December, then over the next 4 weeks developed pharyngitis, ear pain with tinnitus, sinusitis, intermittent sore throat, and finally tonsillitis, which is when Levaquin was prescribed. Felt much better within a few days. | F | 52 | 10 days 500 1X day | 1/30/2016 |
