Emotional support symptoms and conditions

I too have been on a regimen of 750mg of Levaquin for an infection on my leg. On day 2 I could not figure out why my upper keft arm was hurting me so much. I as so many others, wrote it off to hanging drapes and cleaning out my pantry. Four days later the pain started in my right arm and again, I was trying to figure out what in the world was going on. It's an intense pain like I've never had before. I have Crohn's disease so I wrote some of it off to that as well. I saw my Doctor today and didn't even think about telling her about the Levaquin (different Doctor prescribed it). As I lay in bed this evening unable to sleep I decided to do some research on Levaquin as it was the only thing I could think of that was causing problems. Boy, did I discover something. Thank you all for posting your issues on this website. I will be seeing the prescribing doctor tomorrow and will let her know the outcome of the drug and will make sure that I will never be taking Levaquin again. Too bad we can't get this word out to everyone being prescribed this drug. It's dangerous and hardly worth it. There has to be something else out there that we can take. .

I went on prozac for the first time when I was 22. It was just after I'd finished doing a degree in Japanese at University and it was just too hard for me and I ended up burning out a little. Looking back I don't think I was ever overly depressed - I just needed a little understanding and support, but I didn't really have much emotional support around me at that time in my life, so taking a drug seemed to be the answer.....or was it?
I gained 20 kilos. It took me a whole year to lose it after i stopped taking the prozac. To anyone who says that on prozac you don't gain weight, you lose it - what rubbish!! How do I know? I took prozac again when I was 25 - as a result of a broken relationship and I gained about 15 kilos the second time around. This time, it's taken me 3 years to lose the weight!! So, I know for a fact that prozac causes weight gain. Nobody can tell me that both times were coincidental or as a result of the depression itself, it happened only when I went on prozac - not when I was just depressed. I will never take it again and instead of feeling depressed when things go wrong in my life, I exercise. It's been one of the only things that has truly put me on a 'high' naturally. It's great. I would take it any day over prozac. Sure, prozac made me feel high, but it never felt natural to me. And I was unnaturally overweight on prozac as well. I'm now nearly 30 and can honestly say that the only times in my life when I've been overweight was when I was on prozac.
