I was given a free 10 day coupon for Avelox by a physician to treat an awful cold that wouldn't go away. He also wrote a prescription for, and I got it filled at a pharmacy, an inhaler. Avelox is the WORST medicine I have ever encountered in my 69 years!! I took it for 4 days and QUIT (today) the *^%(% thing. Who wants to be dizzy, crabby, anxious, short with people, impatient, thirsty all the time, constantly gasping for breath, and NO energy at all? Bayer should be prosecuted, condemned for creating this poison pill. I can't believe this med it is still allowed for public consumption!??

Kathy - Your doctor is an idiot. Avelox will not treat any viral infection (like the flu or an "awful cold"). It's designed to treat bacterial infections. Also, what kind of inhaler did you use? From what my Doctors (urgent care physician and personal physician) have told me - Avelox is the most powerful antibiotic they can prescribed. I was given Avelox today 6/10/08 after a 10 day battle with pneumonia/bronchitis (both lungs) an ear infection and sinus infection after 10 days of Biaxin did not kill the bacteria. Avelox is so potent it kills off both bad and "good" bacteria, which means you have to take probiotics while you're taking the Avelox to keep your stomach calm and your digestive system active. I was also told to drink plenty of water (as always) and that the Avelox would probably make me tired. I'm sorry you suffered so much with the dizziness/crabbiness/anxiety and everything else - and I hope this can be of some help in the future. Different drugs obviously work different on different people. I've got 9 days to go on the Avelox - I will email or put up a new post with updates if anyone would like to know how things go.

I was just put on Avelox. It is so expensive. My doctor doesn't have coupons. Where can I get one to try it?
