I was given a 750mg Levaquin rx for recovery from pneumonia on 7-17-08. I was sent home and lost all my appetite and forced myself to eat. Next I never slept at all for the following four days, it was like I was wired to the max and nothing I tried could induce rest of any kind. I called the doctor who switched me to a new antibiotic, my appetite returned the next day and finally I got some sleep. I would say this drug should not be on the market. My recovery was slowed by four days due to this drug and my head is still a little foggy at times as the drug wears off.

I know how you feel, I was prescribed levaquin after my bladder surgery and ended up in the ER two days later, that drug is terrible, its been 6 days now after stop taking the drug and I am still not myself. I believe the drug has a black box warning from what I hear. Good luck with your recovery.
