| 1 | recurring bronchitis | Renal patient, suddenly could barely urinate, after 2 days I wont take again, ankles swollen, I normally pee alot, I feel horrible | Im affraid to sleep | M | 43 | 2 days | 9/10/2015 | 1 | sinus infection | Multiple areas of tendinitis in triceps, biceps, rotator cuff, hip flexor, feet and lower back. Tinnitus, brain fog, depression, sleeplessness, fatigue, heart palpitations, syncope, joint swelling and severe pain in my wrists and fingers, generalized fluid retention and edema, joint popping with any movement in feet, ankles, knees and hips, blurry vision, headaches. | Avoid this life altering toxin. I was a sponsored athlete, happy, strong and active. Levaquin has ruined me and the toxic side effects can be permanent. Avoid all quinolones. | F | 35 | 10 days | 8/11/2015 | 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 | 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 | 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.
