I feel almost lucky to have hardly any side effects considering what most of you have been through. I just finished about a 7 day prescription of Levaquin for pneumonia. Well, I remember the first day I took it I was lying in bed and my right arm started aching and my muscle in my forearm was throbbing. Then, my arm started to burn and tingle. I attributed to painting the ceiling my bathroom the night before and ignored it even though the script package said that that could happen and to call the Dr. The sensation was gone in the morning. The rest of the week, I had been extremely tired, anxious, nervous, restless, couldn't sleep, crying for no reason, I would pop off at my family which is completely out of character for me. I would fall asleep and then pop up in a panic spontaneously. Last night I noticed my teeth chattering and my throat and tongue feeling almost swollen. Today they feel just strange swollen but almost heavy and tense. Today was my last day on this medicine thank God! I too noticed that I was fine in the am but clawing at the walls by the evening. I am also on an ADHD medication (that the Dr.'s new that I was prescribed) and the added stimulant has made me foggy, antsy and jumpy and my muscles from head to toe will twitch and jerk. Thanks so much for the information. I will definitely inform any of my family and friends to refuse this medication.
