Sulfa antibiotics symptoms and conditions

I was so glad to find this. Since insomnia is not listed as a usual side-effect, I had no idea why I could not sleep. When I saw the entries and called the pharmacist, she verified it for me. I have been on 500 mg twice a day for a week and I have another week to go. I originally had a bad cold for 2 weeks which developed into a seriuos sinus infection. Amoxicillan did not work and I cannot take sulfa antibiotics or Cipro so I think I am stuck with it for another week, but have called to ask the Doctor for something to help me sleep until then. I have been so tired and worn out probably due to lack of sleep. And I agree that taste in my mouth, especially in the morning, is awful. I am also still congested but it is better than before.

I have been reading all the mail on this site. I BELIEVE in Levaquin!!!! I have chronic sinus infections and am allergic to sulfa antibiotics. I do NOT have the side effects everyone talks about. Without Levaquin I would NEVER get over sinus infections and everything else that they lead into. Amoxicillian, Augmentin, Biaxin, and Cephzil are all good antibiotics, BUT they only prolong the pain for me. LEVAQUIN is the ONLY antibiotic that works for me and I cannot get over infections without it!!! I suggest people who are prescribed Levaquin and they do indeed have reactions to it, DON'T KNOCK IT... just get another antibiotic. There are others out there who need it like me!!.
