My story: I was prescribed Avelox for a small infection from shaving (foliculitus). I started taking this antibiotic the following day, it was a wednesday. Saturday night while bowling, I had what I consider to be a panic/anxiety attack, where I felt a disconnection happening between my mind and my body. I just wrote that instance off as just that, an anxiety attack. Well on monday I had a full blown attack and felt reality slipping away, and felt completely disconnected from my body and my surroundings. Everything became surreal. I went to see the prescribing physician, and she told me to stop taking Avelox, and that, this can happen to some people. Well I stopped taking it on that wednesday, and now its friday and I still feel completely disconnected from my body. I am scared and need to know if this will go away, I don't want to feel like this anymore. Does anyone know how long I will have to deal with this feeling?

Just hang in there. As your body purges the medication you will start feeling like yourself again. Drink plenty of water. Remember, after a panic attack your body is weak for several days or more. Depending on the severity of the attack it could take a little longer. But it will get better. Good luck.
