My doctor gave me 5 'samples' of Levaquin 750mg for a sinus infection.
2nd night I had frightening heart palpitations while sitting watching a movie with family. Later that night experienced insomnia, depression, body aches and extreme cold feeling all over despite blanket, comforter and furry throw.
3rd day I experieinced severe nausea, dizziness, over-heating, dry mouth, body pain, headaches and motion sickness on pubic transit about 2 hours after dosing. Almost passed out. Was shaking, feeling hypoglycemic. Curled in a ball praying by the end of the 45 minute bus ride.
Stopped for water and a bagel, thought it was awhile since I had eaten. 2 hours later after my appointment, same thing again o the bus ride home. Took me 2 hours to calm down.
Looked up side effects online and was shocked. My doctor knows I had a head/neck injury ( 3 dislocated vertebrae ), knows I have prescription Vicodin and Tylenol 3 for pain, but fortunately I only took one Tylenol 3 today and no Vicodin for weeks. But I did take Advil yesterday, another pain reliever my doctor knows I use, but conflicts with Levaquin.
Doctor also knows that I'm concerned about possible pre-diabetic condition as mother has developed type 2 diabetes.
Furthermore, he knows I have had bad experiences with previous prescription medications including asthma inhalers destroying tooth enamel and depression reactions to Singulair.
Apparently Levaquin and Singulair both have suicidal depression side-effects.
So why was this drug given to me?
Basically, who do I sue?

November 30, 2009 at 11:30pm took one tablet of the over the counter UP+UP ( the store brand I think ) It contains Guaifenesin 400mg as an expectorant and Dextromethorphan HBr 20mg as a cough suppressant. It started working in less than one hour. I thought wow! this works better than Benadryl for congestion and cough control, now it is 5:16am December 1,2009 I could not fall asleep at all. I tried to wrap up more snugly to be warmer in my thick comforter and still can not sleep.I am going to return the medicine and get my money back. I will not use it again!!
