I was on the low dose, 100/50, for 2 years. I had blurry vision in my right eye and lethargy. Last week I woke up and could not breathe AT ALL. I was choking for about 45 seconds with no air coming in. I have read that Advair can bring on sleep apnea. After a couple of days of doing research, I stopped cold turkey. My vision cleared up in a day and my lethargy is gone. I am now using apple cider vinegar for my asthma (brought on by my 2 dogs and cat) and so far, all is well. How that stuff is legal, I don't know.

Was given a 10 day course of Levaquin for bronchitis. I had to stop on day 7 when the red itchy rash appeared on my hands and legs. Nearly 2 weeks later I can barely use my right hand to grasp or squeeze without experiencing severe pain. Both eyes have been bloodshot and irritated for the same 2 weeks-I assumed it was because I was having difficulty falling and staying asleep for 2 weeks.. The prescribing MD at a local "Quick Care" denies any connection between this drug and my symtoms. Until this episode of bronchitis I have taken no drugs of any sort, haven't even needed to see a doctor in over 2 years-I'm not a hypochondriac, but I'm sick dammit, and it can't be a coincidence that it began with taking Levaquin. I'm in the process of trying to find a physician in my area who is knowledgeable about the side effects of this drug but am having little luck. Anyone familiar with an MD in the Las Vegas area experienced with diagnosing and treating the side effects of Levaquin PLEASE email me at ******....I don't want to sue anybody, I just want to feel better.

I have been off Lipitor for 2 weeks now. I still have slurred speech. My tongue is moving to beat the band. I have been to 2 neurologists and both have told me that I have "motor neuron disease". This drug is POISON and anyone on it should get off of it. I never had a problem before I started taking this drug. Now I am looking at ALS as a diagnosis. That is awful to think that I might have that. I will find out on April 14th when I go visit my Dr. at Mass General. I will let everyone know what comes out of it.
