I have found this forum to be the most helpful of all I have read about Levaquin. I have taken this drug for 3 days as it was prescribed for a lingering sinus infection. I am a healthy and active 46 year old woman with no medical issues. Since starting this drug, my body aches! My hips, neck, and legs are so stiff and painful. My mental clarity and word finding abilities are compromised. I wake up every 2 hours dying of thirst at night and last night my right side was numb, stiff and painful. I did have an episode yesterday (after only taking Levaquin 500 mg for 2 days out of the 10 prescribed) where in the middle of a meal for no reason, I felt as if I were going to vomit. I feel light headed and dizzy within 10 minutes of taking it but thought this may be due to the drug "opening up my sinuses". I have made excuses for the side effects by thinking it is either in my head or just me, but, after reading others experiences, I now realize it is the drug. I am going to stop taking it immediately and try the homeopathic route.

I have ben taking singulair for allergies-tree pollen and an asthmatic cough for a little over 2 years. It wasn't until I had been taking it for a year that I really developed a lot of the side effects-weight gain that won't go away, mood swings no interst in sex (my husband's not very happy) exhausted, nightmares about work, my family ,anything, sore throat, throat clearing,thirst, stomach pains, acid reflux, and my blood pressure hasbeen higher at the doctor's office lately. I didn't realize that singulair was the cause of all this stuff. I've been off of it for 3 days and I feel more rested-no nightmares,sore throat is going away, no dying of thirst feeling and the throat clearing is lessening. I don't think I'll ever renew this perscription again.

Is it just me, or is anyone experiencing some sort of dry mouth w/ this pill? I've been on the pill for 3 months now, and this side effect came about when I started taking the pill. I'm wondering if it's just the funny Louisiana weather, the pill or something else?
