I have taken Levaquin over the past three years for stubborn and recurring sinus infections. Although I was seriously ill with the infections (fever of 104) I have finally refused to take the antiobiotic despite the fact that it is quite effective in the treatment of the infection. The side effects are simply too debilitating. Each time I was taking the Levaquin, I suffered from tinitis, sleeplessness, extreme photophobia, and mild digestive upset. But it was the severe arthritis-like symptoms that crippled me for well over a month after discontinuing the antibiotic that finally forced me to seek other antibiotic therapy. The joint related symptoms were so serious, in fact, that I was misdiagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis after my first use of Levaquin. I was prescribed plaquinil for the arthritis, but fortunately my pharmacist informed me of the possible side-effects of Levaquin and I never started arthritis therapy. Although the joint-related side effects diminish in time, I do not feel that I have ever fully regained my flexability or range of motion, nor have I been completely pain-free since using Levaquin.

I have just discovered this site and was amazed to find out that Topamax caused hair loss. I have been on Topamax 100 mg. for about 1 1/2 yrs. now and started to lose my hair, and didn't know why. Also I just recently in Nov. started to get ringing in my ears called Tinitis and contacted the Tinitis Assoc. and they sent me a list of medications that can cause ringing in the ear. Yes Topamax is one of the drugs listed that can cause ringing in the ears. I'm definitely going to stop taking Topamax and try the B vitamins that have been recommended. Thanks.
