Poison. | M | 66 | 7 days | 12/21/2018 | 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.

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.

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.

Http://marcthavenot.com/donations/ | M | 37 | 2 days | 12/21/2017 | 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 | 10/28/2017 | 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 | 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 |
