I have had to take Levaquin twice. Both times were for a post surgical infection. The Levaquin worked great on the infection, so I stuck with it even though it made me feel terrible. The side effects I had are: ringing in the ears (tinnitus), agitations/anxiety, dizziness, headache, inability to think straight, nausea, stuffed up nose. They were worse in the few hours after I took the Levaquin. I would take it at dinner, so I could sleep through most of the effects and not have to go to work feeling so bad. Fortunately, I did not suffer the insomnia some have had. After 5 days on it, I also got pain in my finger joints which took 2 weeks after stopping the Levaquin to go away. The pharmacist told me these are unfortunate side effects, but not dangerous enough ones to stop taking the drug. I really don't like this one at all, but I can say it does kill the infection.

Hello.

I was started on Prednisone on Saturday (3/15) for Bronchitis. So far I have taken 40mg, 40mg, 30mg, 30mg, 20mg, - I am to take 20mg for two more days than 10mg for three days. I also just finished a Z-Pack of antibiotics and am taking Mucinex and Ventolin HFA...

I have head pressure, dizziness, and weird visual disturbances. The problem I am having is my breathing feels WORSE on the Prednisone??? Is this possible??? I feel like I am losing my mind. I have insomnia and am extremely jittery. I have never taken Prednisone before - but want so badly to breath better - but it is not helping and in fact seems to making the problem worse?

Has this every happened to anyone? Please help I am so frightened.....

Thank you

I've been on the NR for over a year now. When I first started I had some pretty severe breast tenderness but that was all. The only time I have any of these "side effects" is when I'm starting my period. And hello every women has mood swings and is overly emotional around that time of the month. My sex drive is as high as ever. I am only stopping it because my husband and I are trying to get pregnant. But as soon as we have a baby I plan to go right back on it.

I have been taking doxycycline for 2 weeks (Malaria prophylaxis) now and have noticed some unfortunate side effects this week. I normally work out and feel great. Last Tuesday and today I felt absolutely wretched after my work out - ESPECIALLY today! I felt like I was having a heart attack. It started out with a bit of nausea and dizziness, light-headedness set in and by the time I got home I was so ill and my arms and legs were tingling all over. I lay down for a while and started to feel better. I still don't feel quite like myself. I've also noticed some heartburn. I had been taking zantac and stopped a couple of days ago - so my guess is I hadn't noticed it before because of this.
