| 1 | Urinary tract infection | Vision blurred. Its lucky I found this site instead of toughing it out. | About 2 hours after taking the second dose, I couldn't see the TV very well, and looking at my wife who sat about 7 feet away, I couldn't make out her features.

Finished a 2 week round, 500 mg a day. Just now figured out it was the meds. I have to use crutches to get out of bed, I hope this isn't permanent, I am in pain and can hardly move. I can't belive this is happening to me. | F | 54 | 14 days | 5/20/2005 | 1 | sinus infection | a terrible taste in my mouth,panicky feeling, cramping in calves,fatigue,mild stomach pains, indigestion, tight chested, clinched jaw.

I had insomnia (and I have a sleep disorder that I take medication for), bad taste in mouth and total loss of sense of taste(increased daily). At first I thought I just couldn't taste things due to the infection but it is now to the point that nothing has any taste whatsoever. Was on the Levapak 5-day. This is day 5 and I don't plan to take the last dose. My bronchitis is better but not substatially better to warrant taking this awful drug. I still have alot of congestion, cough, runny nose & breathing problems. | I wouldn't recommend this drug even though I worked for J&J! This medicine definitly needs to be removed or greatly improved. | F | 53 | 4 days | 5/10/2005 | 1 | sore throat, congestion, sinus | Unable to sleep during the night.

Complete Exhaustion. Slept for most of the next 3 days while taking the last of the Levaquin not knowing that that was what was causing it. I had had the same type of problem a year or so ago. Actually it was an ongoing type of thing. I had been having a recurring sinus infection and the doctor kept giving me Levaquin which would clear it up, but I was having aches and pains and lack of energy. Just feeling very ill all of the time. I went to every kind of doctor imagineable and was explaining these weird symptoms and I think they thought I was crazy. Just some neurotic woman dreaming up symptoms. I had paresthesias in my hands and feet, and around my mouth and in my tongue. It felt like I was about to have a seizure, but never quite got to that point. I have never had seizures before, but I do have 2 brothers who have a seizure disorder. I just felt really strange and | 3 or 4 years ago I was taking the medication off and on about every 6 weeks for a recurring sinus infection. I was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia which I now think was a misdiagnosis. I have been denied long-term disability insurance because of the | F | 51 | 10 days | 5/4/2005 | 5 | very bad sinus infection | none | Was given LEVAQUIN after other antibiotics did not get rid of infection. Have now had clear sinuses for 6 weeks after several years of chronic headaches from sinus problems. | F | 62 | 10 days | 5/3/2005 | 4 | sinus infection/bronchitis | Insomnia and increased energy (caffeine like). | Took me a good two hours to fall asleep every night while on this medication. Took Tylenol PM to help with the insomnia and eventually that helped to put me to sleep. | F | 29 | 5 days | 5/3/2005 | 3 | Chronic Sinusitis / Had Surgery | Swelling and pain in ankles sometimes so sore it was hard to walk. Overall body pain like I had the flu. Pain in shoulder and some chest pains. Also have experienced twitching under eye and on eyelids. | I have been sick since November 2004 and it is now May 2005. I had sinus surgery in March 2005 and have been on Levaquin since February 2005 and I just can't quite seem to get rid of the infection in my head. Prior to taking this I was was taking Augmentin. I first started with Zithromax and then onto a Penicillin injection, then augmentin, more augmentin, levaquin. I'm just about at whits end wondering how I'm going to get rid of the infection. After reading what I have read about the side effects of this drug I will ask the Dr. to give me something else rather than refilling the levaquin. | F | 39 | 3 months | 5/3/2005 | 1 | sinus, flu | One pill and I got Stevens-Johnson syndrome DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | M | 55 | 1 days | 5/3/2005 | 2 | Kidney/Bladder infection | Have had to deal with almost constant headache, sleeplessness (really tired), leg and joint pain (difficulty walking)and leg muscle jerk/tremors. Have had headaches in the past, but the rest of this is in no way normal for me. | This stuff worked, seemed to be almost immediate relief from a very severe infection, however, it's going to take a lot to convince me to ever take this drug again. Will finish the 7 day 500 mg dose since only have one day left, but, that's IT !!!!! | M | 62 | 6 days | 4/28/2005 | 5 | UTI | No adverse effects. Drug was a miracle - cured a recurrent UTI. Would gladly take it again. | F | 47 | 7 days | 4/27/2005 | 2 | cough/6weeks | First night, jittery and unable to sleep,next 6 days... sore/flu-like feeling, nausea, headache,tired, legs hurt, tightness in chest...but the cough stopped! | I'm sticking with it, this is day 7 of 10 @ 500mg. Really want to feel better...but will call doc after reading other's symptoms, maybe I shouldn't tough it out!:( | F | 43 | 7 days | 4/27/2005 |
