I started taking Avelox on Tues for a sinus infection. For the past few days I have felt "out of it" very tired and depressed. At first, I thought it was the sinus infection, but I have had enough of them to know better. I have talked to my doctor and three pharmacists which have all argued that Avelox is well-tolerated by most people...but it sounds like it can really do a number on a few. I took 3 doses and I'm DONE! I hope I feel better soon!

I was on Avelox 2006... bad, bad drug - Way to strong
I got a bad infection C-diff from this.

This should be taken off the market, it's to strong and there needs to be a class action law suite filed. I have a risk, the rest of my life of getting C-diff if I get sick and need any medicine (Thanks to Avelox) I would not advise anyone to take Avelox ever. I'am fighting my secound C-diff infection now, thanks to this. Good Luck!

I also have developed a C. Diff infection following taking Avelox. It has been very costly with labs, cultures, colonoscopy and consulting a GI specialist. I have reported this adverse event to the FDA through their website MEDWATCH. I am very sick. I am not well yet. It has affected my whole life and activities of daily living.
