| 1 | sinus infection | surgery apparently went well, we'll see thurs when the cast comes off. the pain has been something to contend with and they have me on vicodin. now I'm afraid of the tendons across my shoulders are turning to rock and won't seem to loosen up | M | 79 | 500 mg 1X day | 4/5/2010 Patient History | 1 | UTI | Right after I took my second pill I completely lost all memory of what happened to me that day. Spent the whole day in the emergency room, heart rate of 182 beats per minute, no control of my muscles. Thank God I was not alone when this happened and my fiancee had the common sense to take me to the hospital!! Now for two days I have had burning in the muscles in my back, uncontrollable shaking, and constant cotton mouth. WHY IS THIS DRUG STILL ON THE MARKET?????!!!!! | I think we should all write a letter to the FDA and slam their email boxes full of complaints until we get results!!! | M | 34 | 2 days 500mg 1X day | 4/2/2010 | 2 | bronchitis | diahrrea,bloating,dizziness | anxiety suspected,but I really dont know if this thing is causing it,because I am also taking ,Rabeprazole,Metroclopramide,Ketoprofen.and Riopan I had a fundoplication surgery. | M | 32 | 5 days 500 1X day | 4/1/2010 | 1 | UTI | Changed my life for the worse before Levaquin perfect health, After Levaquin Fibromyalgia, IBS, Anxiety Attacks, Depression, Tinnitus, Wish I could go back in time feel like I'm 80 but I'm only 28 | F | 28 | 5 days 75 MG 1X day | 3/31/2010 | 1 | Pneumonia and Ear Infection | Severe nausea first two days, first day anxiety and lots of crying and hysterics, fourth day extreme swollen joints like arthritis in fingers and feet. Orange colored mucus and swollen sinus glands. | I am not taking my last dose. This medicine has made me feel much worse. I will never take it again. My husband is also on it for pneumonia and has many of the same symptoms and does not want to continue taking it either. | F | 32 | 5 days 750 1X day | 3/30/2010 | 1 | Brother in Law | Died a few hours after taking this drug. | M | 59 | 1 days 750 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 1 | bronchial infection | Nightmares, foggy brain, severe abdominal pain, aevere acid reflux, inability to digest food, loose stools, lethargy, feeling of body shutting down. | F | 55 | 10 days 500mg 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 1 | Sinus Infection | This was my second time on Levaquin, first time last year, no side effects. This time within a day of taking it I have burning pain in both knees, swelling in knees and ankle area, back of ankles halfway up the back of the calf have burning pain. 5 days off it now, knees are no better, ankles are only a bit better. I will not take this drug again, I work and the knee pain was so bad I had to take a couple of days off as I could not even walk without a ton of pain. | F | 39 | 5 days 500mg 1X day | 3/27/2010 | 1 | Lung Infection | Can only tell you my good friend took this drug and he is now legally BLIND! This was 7 years ago but this drug is still on the market. | Never EVER take this drug! | M | 57 | 1X day | 3/26/2010 | 1 | Sinus infection | I received a prescription for 7 days. Day 1 - no problem. Day 2 - slight nausea. Day 3 - full-blown nausea, vomiting, crushing headache, dizziness, slight diarrhea, metallic taste, tingling tongue. During this time I was very tired but could not sleep. I was told the medicine will stay in my body for 10 days after the last dose. Over 24 hours after the last dose, I get very dizzy just moving around and feel horrible. I don't always remember what I just did (ex - I took a laundry basket downstairs, got a drink of water, then went back upstairs to get the laundry. I was surprised to find it wasn't there and had no recollection of taking it downstairs). I have also had strange dreams and feel plain lousy. | This $4/pill (after ins) "cure" was worse than the illness. Except for penicillin, I have never had a reaction to medication. I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS MEDICATION AGAIN. | F | 61 | 3 days 500 1X day | 3/26/2010 | 1 | Bronchitis | can't sleep, depressed, difficulties breathing, stomach pains. | I have never experience negative side effects like these before with any other medication. | F | 35 | 10 days 500 1X day | 3/25/2010 | 1 | Ear and Sinus Infection | I became dizzy within 1 hour of taking medicine. I also experienced hives on neck and ear area. On the 4th day of taking I began experiencing joint pain and inflamation in my joints. I stopped taking this medicine after the 5th dose. My joints now 3 days later or still and swollen. I just spoke to the makers of this drug and they took a report. DO NOT USE side effects aren't worth it. | F | 55 | 5 days 500mg 1X day | 3/25/2010 | 1 | UTI | Dizziness, headache, nausea, blurred vision, cramping, tingling in extremities, mental confusion, panic | Worst medication ever. I thought I was going to die. | F | 30 | 10 days 2X day | 3/24/2010 | 1 | sinus infection | headache, nausea w/vomitting, prickly feeling skin, blurred vision, muscle tremors, clouded thought process. Most concerning is the loss of memory during first night use. I have taken two doses and will not continue the course of five. I do feel the pressure in my sinuses has abated. the drug appears effective for that, but the side effects are not worth it. | F | 41 | 5 days 750 mg 1X day | 3/24/2010 | 5 | stubborn bacterial resp infection | All positive...extra energy, feeling great, better mood. | Had a little trouble with waking alert in the middle of the night. Took it later at night and that fixed it. No negative effects. I usually get the bad effects of things, not one with this!!! | F | 31 | 7 days 500mg 1X day | 3/23/2010 | 1 | strep throat | Couldn't sleep, felt like an elephant on my chest, felt cold from the inside out, calf felt strange the second day. I only took 1 pill and stopped. My mouth (taste) felt very toxic. | I think I could have been given some other medication. The Augmentin did not get rid of the strep the first 7 days, but this pill is way over the top of safety. It did seem to kill the bacteria, but I only took 1 pill and it was prescribed for 5 days. | F | 67 | 5 days 500 mg 1X day | 3/23/2010 | 1 | Sinus and Upper Respiratory Infecti | Severe muscle and joint pain. | After day 3 noticed my body was hurting -- My hips hurt when I was lying down. At first I thought this was due to lying down so much related to my symptoms so I took another dose on day 4. On day 4, I couldn't put any pressure on any part of my body. I couldn't stand w/o pain, I couldn't sit or lie down w/o pain. If I tried to squat to pick up something I dropped, the pain was excruciating! It has been 18 days since my last dose and my muscles are still hurting. | F | 47 | 4 days 500 1X day | 3/23/2010 | 5 | persistent Pneumonia | No noticable negative side effects. | This drug seems to have had exactly the effect for which it was intended. The persistent pneumonia that had survived a month long course of other antibiotics has apparently been vanquished. | M | 52 | 10 days 500MG 1X day | 3/20/2010 | 5 | Kidney Infection | a little dizziness other than that none | Terrific antibiotic knocked out the pain from the infection in less than 48 hours, awesome!! | F | 43 | 7 days 500 mg 1X day | 3/17/2010 | 1 | UTI | Severe swelling of my joints, I could hardly walk after the 3rd dose. Every joint in my body hurt. My tendons in my legs are so sore I can't decide whether to keep taking it or not, after reading everything on this site, I am going to call my doctor today. | F | 55 | 7 days 1X day | 3/17/2010 |
