My Dr. gave me a 5 day sample of Levaquin 250mg for a UTI 4 days ago. I took the 1st dose & almost immediately began experiencing a headache over my eyes. I figured it was just stress. I took my second dose & began feeling lightheaded & kind of dopey & my headache was still going strong. On day 3, I woke up with a golfball sized lump in the center or my forehead. I called the Dr. immediately but he could not be reached for 3 hours. In these 3 hours the swelling in my forhead continued to spread. I rushed to his office yesterday afternoon & he was amazed. He siad hes never heard or a reaction like mine but told me to NEVER take Levaquin or any similar drug ever again. He prescribed me another antibiotic & a 7-day pack of prednisone for the allergic reaction. Today I woke up and my forhead is not as swollen. The golf ball is gone but the swelling is travelling down my face. The bridge of my nose & under my eyes are now swollen. I'm very emotionally sensitive and my headache is still present. Levaquin is an evil evil drug! Take with caution!!!! I'll update when I'm feeling better.....hopefully real soon!
