I was prescribed this poison for a uti and a week later I was prescribed again for bronchitis. My "Doctor", and I use the term loosley, didn't bother to tell me of any side effects or even as much I should take with food or at night to help with upset stomach. I now truly believe that the pharmacutical rep told her that it was an effective drug and she said "Well, ok then, lets give it to some people. I can guarantee that if asked, she would have no idea about the damage or side effects which as a side note tells me that she cares nothing for her "patients." I hope she is making herself a good living. I have been off the drug for almost 2 weeks and have not had a nights rest since. The pain in my calves is too the point that I can barely walk around the block, I seem to have knots in my calves, my jaw has even started hurting. I have been having horrible nightmares, headaches and a feeling of being lost or not knowing where or who I am for periods of time. If it were not for sites like this one, I would have no idea. I would simply have to trust what my doctor tells me. People, it's time to stop assumming that a doctor knows what he is doing simply because he/she has a degree on the wall. I read in another article on the web that one lady persisted until she made her doctor do and enzyme test to test for muscle damage. At that point he finally started to listen to her when he found that she had muscle deterioration. I'm afraid there will be no looking back for some of us. Anyway, I'm trying to change PCPs today and hope I find a real doctor that will listen to me and believe me and help me with this condition. DO NOT take this poison-Levaquin. Tracy

Muscle enzyme test indicates Vytorin as the cause of massive fatty deposits on the backs of my thighs and arms.
Anyone else have this side effect?
