Was prescribed Levaquin 500 mg tablet for 10 days to treat strep throat. I had never taken it before. I have finished it two days ago and now have a severe yeast infection. I've never had one from antibiotics before and it is to the point that I can't sleep. Has anyone else had this as a side effect before????

Yes I had such a severe yeast infection from Levaquin that it took almost 3 weeks to get rid of ot. I was so swollen down yonder that I felt like I had just given birth. I can't say that I will never take the medication again, however I will ask that my MD give me a script fro Diflucan at the same time so I can take it at the first sign of a yeast infection
