OMG, I was on Levaquin for approx 4-5 weeks, 500mg twice a day. I have muscle aches, deep body aching, feel like I ran a marathon, my feet hurt so much that I have to limp when I get up to walk, my legs feel like lead, strange pains throughout my body at any time of day or night, my right foot swelled slightly, and my right hand is stiff and I have to pry it open in the morning. Today I felt so weak, I thought I would pass out. I've been off this drug for almost two weeks now, with no end in sight from these side effects. Why the heck are doctors still prescribing this drug. Anybody interested in a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer?

I am interested in getting this medication off the market. I have been fighting an allergic reaction from Levaquin going on 8 weeks now. This rash continues to get worse instead of better and is spreading all over my body. The allergist said I have to let it runs it's course, how long is that going to take?

I have been experiencing the joint pain side effects from Levaquin since January 2007. It hasn't gotten any better over time. Is there a class action lawsuit we can file or has someone already started it? i want someone to pay for my agony!!!!
