I was given a ten day precription of Levaquin 500mg. for a sinus infection and infected tooth by my medical doctor. Four weeks earlier I had stopped taking my hormone therapy. I woke up with very bad hot sweats and at the same time panic and anxiety attacks. My mind would focus on something upsetting and I couldn't stop it. I would wake up retching and had a sore shoulder and knee. After about a week of taking this drug I started with just crying for no reason. My husband thought I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.I went to my medical doctor and was told that I had three choices. To go back on HRT, Take a drug like paxil, or see a counceler. He never mentioned that this could be from Levaquin. I then went to my Gyn, and he put me back on the hormone therapy that I had been getting off. After eight days on Levaquin I decided to stop it. That first night I slept just fine. I am so angry that neither doctor mentioned that this drug had such bad side effects. I told my medical doctor that I have a hard time taking medicines as I always get reactions.At times I still feel a little shaky.I sure am going to let my doctors know about this. Thank goodness I found this site on the computer. I thought I was going crazy.
