yes i've been having the same reactions. dizziness, high anxiety and the feeling that i was having a stroke. then came the numbness and leg stiffness.
tremors at night, loss of balance, vision and hearing problems. the list goes on and on. rapid heart rate and abnormal ekg was the last straw and i stopped taking the levaquin but it was too late. the damage is done and
now i'm ruined for life. it's hard to believe somebody would prescribe this
neurotoxic medication and not give a warning. these effects are irreversable
