Was prescribed 750 mg pills of Levaquin for bronchial infection (am also asthmatic). After first pill, had very intense headache - I took 2 Advil Migraine pills and couldn't get any relief. Had quickly and dramatic shifts of temperature being hot and cold, was dizzy, disoriented, confused, couldn't see clearly, eyes hurt. The strangest side effect is that I felt like I needed sugar. If I drank some fruit juice or ate something sweet, I felt a little better. Sleeping overall was impossible - I was wide awake and exhausted - only feel asleep for short intervals of time totally about 2-3 hours a night. I generally felt absolutely miserable on this medication and quite frankly, it wasn't making my bronchitis any better. I gave up on it finally after 4 days and called my doctor. I was then prescribed 400 mg Avelox which I am taking now. I can tell you that after just one pill of Avelox, I feel better than I did yesterday and I do not have any horrible side effects.
