Few words symptoms and conditions

My daughter had a bladder infection. yesterday in the ER she was prescibed levaquin. She took one pill and could not sleep. She felt very strange and confused. Her heart rate increased dramaticly. She is 24 yrs. old and 2000 miles away from home. by morning we decided to call the doctor and see if these could be side effects. She was told to take one more and see what happens. I found this website a few minutes later. After reading about 15 stories, I called my daughter and made her vomit that medication out of her. Unfortunately, her bladder infection is now a kidney infection and she needs treatment, but it will not be levaquin. Thank you all so much. I would just love to give a few words to this drug company.

My Dad's doctor put him on this. Before he was put on it he was up walking around and saying a few words, laughing with us. Now he is in a wheelchair and not eating. My dad has Alztimers (?) so he don't talk much anyways but we have notice that he don't like to eat anymore not even ice cream that he use to love daily. His urine is brownish with a little red in it. My dad can't speak for himself to tell us what hurts or what's wrong with him but my Mom and I can that something is wrong.
This medication is awful I wouldn't say anything nice about it.

Wow! I've spent so much time and money at Dr's, specialists for tests to end up with absolutely no idea what is going on with me.
On my own, I decided to look into the medication I was taking ... and ta da!!! Here it is in big bold print! Thank you everyone ... and for this site!
I'd like to go back and just say a few words to all those Dr's that just laughed me out of their office and back in to my own world of frustration.
AND IF ANYONE KNOWS WHEN YOU STOP TAKING ADVAIR (WHICH I DID) ... DO THE SYMPTOMS GO AWAY, DO YOU GAIN YOUR NICE FIGURE BACK AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE???

Advair 500 DID relieve my asthma symptoms, excellent!
But with that....
Huge bloated stomach almost painful sometimes
Aching joints/stiffness
Severe Fatigue
Heartburn and reflux (on meds for that now!)
Significant weight gain, especially across the abdomen
Pain/ache across my upper chest area
Puffy face
Slow healing for something as simple as a scratch.

I'm so relieved to find this site! I was starting to think I was overreacting. I'm taking 500mg of Levaquin for a bladder infection and have had the most bizarre dreams that is if I actually sleep, woke up yesterday with the oddest rash all along my chin (several very tiny water bisters & bumps) Besides the fact that it doesn't feel as though it's helping the infection as I'm experiencing just as much pain as I was on day one. I've never had a problem with side effects of any drug so to me this is bit scary. My own prescription No more Levaquin and a few words with my doctor.
