I was taking it for two days. I was trying to change the channel, but I couldn't. I looked down and screamed because my hands were literally coming at me. They were crippling inward and so were my feet. My abdomen became severely painful. I couldn't stop vomiting and started vomiting bile. I was rushed to the hospital, they placed me in the 'security' emergency private room and strapped me down because they said I was out of my head. My whole body was yellow (jaundice). The doctor told me while the nurses tried to stick ivs in me that my digestive system has failed and your liver is failing. He told the nurse to stand by my bed period to keep me awake. I remember him shaking my face telling me 'johanna you have to stay awake, if you don't, you are not waking up. you have to stay away.' I was released later on. I had to eat liquid foods for two weeks, then baby foods for two more, then I slowly had to eat mushy to solid foods. The doctor said I had to reintroduce my body just like a baby due to the failure. That was my experience and if that nurse didn't keep me awake I would not be here right now.

Holy CRAP!!!! I am so sorry that happened to you! I have been dealing with daily pain in all joints for two years since taking Levaquin for 6 days, but nothing so horrific happened to me! You are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that you make a full recovery. Keep the faith and educate yourself! PLEASE file a Medwatch report on the FDA website and visit other websites to make sure you fully understand what could still be down the road. Take care and stay strong!
