I took Levaquin 750 mg for 2 days. The first night it made me sleepy and drowsy. The second night I took it, I was high. I felt like I was a zombie. I sat in front of my computer rocking back and forward. And al I wanted to do while I sat there was take more and more and more levaquin. I wanted sit there and eat them like they were candy. That urge was so overwhelming. So, I hurried up and I flushed them down the toilet except for 3. Knowing that they were there, I wanted to eat those 3, so I flushed them. That was the worst night of my life. I said to myself if this is how high suppose to feel. I don't ever be high. This drug need to be taken off the market.

I am just finishing up a 5 day course of Levaquin 750mg for a sinus infection, and I am so glad it's over! I too had the zombie feeling, and could not sleep AT ALL for 3 days straight. No sleep makes you feel crazy!! I couldn't think right, and was getting emotional because of it. I also noticed joint and muscle pain, and very pale hands and feet. I was going to stop after the first pill, but I knew that you are supposed to finish antibiotics. WhatI am trying to figure out is why an antibiotic would caus such side effects!?

I am on levaquin 750mg right now. I notice I didn't get much sleep last night, but let me tell you I feel 90% better. This is a miracle drug. My sinus have cleared and my face pain is almost gone and I have only been taking it for one day.

0icu812 - You were not high, to feel high you will experience a euphoric experience that gives you an overwhelming sense of happiness. Read up on what drugs do to an individual and why people become addicted to drugs. Nonetheless, it is an antibiotic for Pete's sake!

I am also currently on levaquin 750 tablets for sinutitus. I have taken 2 doses. The first night I slept about 2 hours, I just couldn't fall asleep. Last night wasn't much better, I finally fell asleep around 3:00am and woke up at 7:00am having to urinate something terrible. I am feeling better though. My doctor has prescribed a 5 day dose. I wonder if my sleep will be affected for the intire 5 days? This is a powerful antibiotic.... I've read where you should drink up to 2 quarts of fluids per day with this drug. I have a history of kidney stones, so I'm drinking water like a fish. It also effects your taster as well. Foods just don't taste the same. I hope the 5 days goes quickly.
