LEVAQUIN SIDE EFFECTS - As I posted yesterday, after taking one Levaquin - 750 mg, I had hallucinations, sleeplessness, extremely severe headache, and now today I woke up with "thrush mouth/yeast infection" in my mouth - plus aching gums and teeth. Please, FDA or drug company that makes this, read these boards. This is the TIP of the ICEBERG. Think of the thousands or millions who don't take time to report the side effects of this drug. It would not surprise me if suicides and death are not brought on from LEVAQUIN. I am thankful I had the good sense to stop this drug after one dose or I might be dead. The hallucinations and headache were the most horrific of my life. I can't imagine what I would be like if I had taken all 7 pills.

Hi. I have heard of people commiting suicide from these fluroquinolones. I am glad you stopped taking the medication. You were very smart to listen to your body. If I had done that I wouldn't have had to endure these last few extremely painful months. Good luck to you and hopefully you will be better soon. Some helpful websites: fqvictims.org, fqresearch.org, fluoroquinolones.org, noquinolones.proboards58.com/index.cgi. Also support groups on yahoo health forums.

One more point, thousands of us have filed medwatch reports to the FDA. However, it seems that they are just being tossed to the side as nothing has been done to get this extremely dangerous drug off the market. But, please take the time to file a report by going to the fda's website. They can't continue to neglect these reports if they keep getting them.
