I took Avelox for the 1st time 3 days ago for a sinus infection. After the 1st pill I began sneezing uncontrollably. I didn't sleep a wink that night. I took my 2nd and 3rd dose the next few days and literally had not slept for 3 days straight-total INSOMNIA. My hands and legs felt so tingly I had no idea what was happening. I felt faint. Then my mouth became so dry. I couldn't breathe-all I kept thinking was my throat was closing up. It was horrible. My teeth hurt, my lips were swollen and dry,my vision was blurry,vomiting,loose stool.... My eyes were sore and swollen and I had no idea I was having an allergic reaction to the Avelox. Today is the 1st day I haven't taken a dose and I'm still feeling funky. Tight chest and blurred vision bad.I am severely fatigued. I just wonder how long this medicine stays in your system.

Let me preface the following by stating clearly that I am not a doctor nor a healthcare professional.

You should notify the prescribing doctor about these side effects. If your condition persists or gets worse you should consider going to the local hospital's Emergency Department as some of these symptoms are associated with serious drug-induced liver problems.

OMG!! I am not loosing my mind. My dr. prescribed Avelox to me for bronchitis. My arms and legs have been tingling and he just assumed it was the cough medicine and took me off of that. I am not taking this avelox again. I hate the way it makes me feel.
