What most people don't read, is that if you are taking Levaquin or any of the quinine based antibiotics you are NOT supposed to ingest caffeine. No tea, no coffee, no chocolate. I was getting major rushes off of it. It was kinda neat :) But not when the heart started racing like crazy. It also contributed to a lot of other icky symptoms. Stopped the caffeine as opposed to the antibiotics and the infection is getting better. Now I just have to kill the caffeine deficiency headache :) Oh, and if you go off caffeine, you're going to sleep like the dead for a couple days. I have an MRSA (antibiotic resistant staph infection) did a round of Zithro, a round of Cipro and now on a round of Clindamycin. Infection is finally being held at bay from getting worse. Now I have to convince it to die and go away. What fun Kat
