Just be careful. Don't ignore or downplay your symptoms. Most of these symptoms worsen over a period of weeks and/or months. I took Levaquin in December. In early January, I started experiencing a lot of pain in my joints and muscles. I am still having some terrible symptoms more than 3 months later. Check out some websites: fqvictims.org, fqresearch.org, fluoroquinolones.org. Hopefully you won't have the severe problems so many thousands of us are suffering.
I'm glad it <> to be working out for you. Like the previous reply stated, don't speak too soon. I had tremendous problems immediately, then they abated for a period of time. I thought my life was returning to normal. Then my bicep snapped spontaneously. After that the side effects have been cycling quite readily. At this very moment my arm pain is quite extreme. I know it will lessen later and then probably be back again tomorrow. !5 months and counting. I don't think a couple of days means you are "out of the woods" but at least your sinus problems are better! Maybe you'll be one of the fortunate few. We all hope so, for your sake. Good luck.
This registry is a place to share positive or negative side effects of using Levaquin. If you directly experienced a side effect while using Levaquin, then we encourage you to enter it here. Please note that entries here are the experiences of individual users, and in no way means that you or anyone else will experience the same side effect, since the same medication affects people in different ways. Please always contact your physician.
