My dad at age 86 was given Avelox for bronchitis, also prednisone. He was on the Avelox for 6 days. Side affects included vomiting, nausea, bad taste in mouth (already had a reaction from Z-pak with an infection in his mouth), tiredness, fluctuations in blood sugar (not diabetic), pain. One minute he seemed to be okay and the next minute he said he was sick. We were not aware of the side affects. Was taken off the medication due to the side affects on the afternoon of Monday, April 21st. Sometime Tuesday morning between 9-10:30 he committed suicide. I am sure it is related to this drug. Please do not let anyone that you love take this drug. It has almost destroyed my mom. and my dad is now gone forever.
