| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR LEVAQUIN | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | Sinus Infection | Severe Depression with thoughts of suicide. Panic attacks that woke me from sound sleep. Dizziness, knee pain, mouth tastes odd and also my teeth hurt...all of them...more than my joint pain. Eyes are also reacting as things appear fuzzy. Have taken this before with no problem. Do not know why this happened and I can only hope it goes away quickly. Also wish I had found this board before I took last nights dose. | F | 51 | 4 days | 4/25/2005 | 3 | Infectious Colitis | Where can I begin...by 3rd day via IV - anxious, apprehensive, irritable, very cold finger tips, feet, knee caps; plus extreme mental distress including terrifying visions with eyes closed (while trying to fall asleep), tremors in my face, woke up in a pool of sweat, vivid nightmares, headache, heart racing, hearing things not there, metal taste in mouth, clenched jaw, overpowering sense of smell, wrist pain and joint pain. | Eased symptoms on my colitis so far but will be requesting a change to a different antibiotic today! | M | 38 | 3 days | 4/22/2005 | 3 | UTI | burning flank pain, dizziness, metal taste in mouth, leg and groin pain, hot flashes, feeling real cold to the bone, headache,wrist pain, high blood pressure, fast heartrate, insomnia, just foggy mentally. | F | 31 | 7 days | 4/21/2005 | 3 | outer ear infection | severe insomnia, racing thoughts... was told to take the drug before I went to bed. I don't recommend that | I had an ear infection, and it helped to clear it up. | M | 30 | 7 days | 4/18/2005 | 3 | Sinus Infection | Rapid heartbeat, sleeplessness, bloated, slight dizziness and I'm only on day three. The rapid heartbeat is definitely the worst part. If this continues much more, I'll stop taking the drug. | M | 35 | 3 days | 4/14/2005 | 3 | Bronchitis | Sleeplessness, Nervousness, Jittery. Felt overly emotional at times and mentally unalert. Fast heartbeat, hard time breathing - of course this may be from bronchitis not the drug. Stopped taking after only 3 days of a 10 day prescription. | Overall, I think it is a very powerful drug. It did help with my bronchitis symptoms a bit, but too many side effects for me to handle. I would only recommend to people that have not gotten better by taking other antibiotics first. It's also very expensive. | F | 29 | 3 days | 4/7/2005 | 3 | Sinusitis | Knocked out Sinus infection but Blood in stool - day 5 - stopping | M | 31 | 5 days | 4/5/2005 | 3 | Sinus Infection/disease | Oh my God, at first I thought I was having a heart attack, then last night it dawned on me that it could be related to the Levaquin. Now, I am almost sure from reading this. Arm pain, shoulder pain, knee, pain, shin pain, hip pain, neck pain..... numbness, pins and needles. | Works to clear up the sinus, but then it comes back just after I stop. I can't believe it took so long to feel this way, with the amount of time I have been on it and the strength; I should win a prize or something! Ten weeks on 750 mg! | F | 38 | 10 weeks | 4/4/2005 | 3 | Prostate infection | Pain in my knees !!! I'm on the 4th day after completing a 14 day round,and the pain hasn't lessened any at all. It hurts to walk,and really is painful attempting to stand up. | Worked on the prostate infection,....but no intentions of EVER taking again. | M | 60 | 2 weeks | 4/3/2005 | 3 | Possible prostate infection | A | My understanding is side-effects are rare if you take it for the approved 7-10 days, but nearly inevitable if you take it for much longer. I am not sympathetic to the view that if it doesn't fix you within 5 weeks, it's not going to. My first course of Levaquin last year (5 weeks) did alleviate my prostate symptoms perhaps 80%, but this most recent course did nothing to fix the remaining 20% after 10 weeks. | M | 50 | 70 days | 3/24/2005 | 3 | sinus infection and bronchitis | diarrhea, bloated feeling in abdomen, mucus in stool (which can happen to me anytime but especially during a levaquin course), my weak knee got even weaker, | Take it only if there is no alternative; It is powerful but can cause some nasty side effects. | F | 38 | 10 days | 2/14/2005 | 3 | infection in leg surgical site | Intense leg/knee pain to the extent that I was not able to even kick off the covers when getting out of bed. Walking and climbing stairs was awful. At first, I thought that my pain was related to the injury but soon realized it was both legs with the | F | 56 | 10 days | 1/4/2005 | 3 | | 12/22/2004 | 3 | UTI | insomnia, stomach pain | F | 41 | 5 days | 7/11/2004 | 3 | prostatitis | no side effects | not certain it has helped my condition. | M | 61 | 2 months | 3/26/2003 | 3 | respiratory infection | none | M | 59 | 9 days | 11/4/2001 | 4 | For a urinary tract infection | Took for 3 days. In the following morning I started to feel very warm, and then I passed out for a short time. After I slept for a few hours and ate breakfast seemed Felt okay. Fortunately I didn't get hurt. | F | 80 | 3 days 500mg 1X day | 11/4/2020 | 4 | pneumonia | Weird tingling/pain of lips. Some joint weakness. | The levaquin got rid of my pneumonia, but 1 month later, my lips still feel weird and numb/tingly. It feels awful. I would have asked for a different antibiotic if I knew of all the side effects | F | 51 | 10 days 500 1X day | 1/20/2016 | 4 | Pneumonia | I had pneumonia over 1 week and like 4 days ago never had one side affect from it I was feeling a lot better now today there is 4 pills left on 14day supply and have been doing great but today I feel like I have fever and body aches not understanding why | Should I stop medication or continue to take last 4 over the next 4 days | F | 37 | 10 days 500mg | 10/5/2015 | 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 |
