I was prescribed levaquin in March of 04. I thought I was dying. I was on my 9th day of 500 mg. I took the Levaquin on this particular morning at 9:00 a.m. Around 11:00 the strangest feeling overwhelmed me. I was terribly confused. I couldn't even pick out a shirt to wear. I was shaking uncontrollably. I started to cry. My heart was racing. I was afraid of everthing. The sound of the t.v. drove me out of the room. I couldn't read a magazine. I paced back and forth. I couldn't sit down. I couldn't eat. I thought about calling an ambulance because driving was out of the question. My husband took me to the E.R. After 10 hours there, the doctor determined it was a reaction to the Levaquin. I still had occasional panic attacks even 1 1/2 years later. My heart kept racing. I was so so scared. It took me 2 years before I could even accept the fact that a vitamin was safet to swallow. Having had this reaction, it made me so afraid to swallow any other kind of pill. Even a vitamin. My mom also had to be taken by ambulance to the ER after taking Cipro. Same family, I know. She was in bad shape. It makes me so angy that my GP said, it couldn't have been the Levaquin!!!! What is with these doctors?
