Prescribed 500mg of Levaquin for sinus infection, along w Medrol Pak steroids. Although steroids can cause restlessness, they do NOT cause COMPLETE anxiety, nightmares insomnia and aphasia. I took only 4 pills, 1 each day, and it's like i boarded THE CRAZY TRAIN. Fluoroquinolones are apparently known for their intense and dangerous side effects, and if it is true that this is also an antidote for anthrax poisoning, it's probably something that should not be prescribed for sinus infections. SEVERE side effects, chest tightness, etc. No wonder they will not rx it for teenagers-I am a healthy 42 yr old woman and would NEVER take it AGAIN,.

Yeah, and I was a healthy 45 yr old man when I wen through the Levaquin / Prednisone vortex to hell! That was just the beginning. They tried to tell me it was "steroid psychosis". Then my bicep tendon detached (can't blame that on the steroid).... and on, and on. It's been 18 months and counting...

I'll say it again, this stuff is poison, stay away. If you want to contribute to big Pharma, send a donation. It's much easier in the long run.

Get well!
