one year and seven months ago i was given a coarse of laviquin--750 mg--for seven days.after 5 days I was so sick i thought i would die and at times wanted to--I had severe depression, diarea, musle pain a weakness, ancles ,knees, back and shoulders hurt so bad that I had trouble getting out of bed. my heart was raceing at 120 beats per minute and blood pressure was very high. I also had a lot of pain in my butt muscles and could not sleep, then I got to where i could not breathe and had to go to the E R now it has been over a year and a half and still have trouble walking because of pain in knees and ancles. shoulders are sore all the time and I can not sleep more then a couple of hours at a time. my butt hurts so bad that I can not sit in a recliner for over an hour with out extreame pain.. I changed doctors now tree times and none of them will consider that the laviguin was the cause. the last one did send me to a hospital for a rectal exam but they found no problem. now that I know what caused the problem, the depression is most replaced by anger. this drug should be recalled and the drug companys should be made to pay for our care. I am 67 years old and been in pain now all that time and think I will never be the same again. my advise would be---DON'T TAKE THIS POISON--AVOID AT ALL COSTS YOUR FRIEND---ALP

I have the same sleeping and sitting problems as well as a slew of others
so typical to quin poisoning.
Please check out Dave's site at : fqresearch.org/

he's a victim too, his knowledge is vast and has many links to other websites as well..

Good luck, we all need it, cuz NO dr's want to help us, cuz of the fricking lawsuits that would FLOOD their offices...

and to even think they'd once apology?, heck no.
Peace,
Sandie in South Carolina

I took a course of it for 7 days and had no side affects whatsoever. It cured my bronchial infection.

I took Levaquin for 10 days & within days my knee (the knee I had surgery on a year ago) swelled up so bad I could barely bend it. I went online to look up side effects with this drug & was shocked at all the major problems it can cause. I didn't exercise for a week. I played volleyball yesterday, my game of choice, and my achilles tendon got hurt. I will be going to the doctor in a few days if it keeps hurting. This drug is bad news.
