I have no personal experience of Levaquin or the other quinolone antibiotics (Cipro etc.) A very dear friend was prescribed Ciprofloxacin during the summer of 2004. I am sure that was the reason for his sudden confusion among other things. His suffering made me look for information on the Internet and I read a lot of books by Peter R. Breggin and Stephen Fried. Today I just received another one - Medicine Madness ( Peter R. Breggin) and I am happy to say that he has also included a chapter about ordinary prescribed drugs that can cause psychiatric symptoms. He, for instance, writes about "Antibiotic Madness". It`s about this very group of antibiotics. Here are some lines from his text: "Hardly anyone thinks of antibiotics as potentially dangerous psychoactive drugs but many of them are". "Levaquin is a member of the quinolones family of antibiotics, a group that is known to cause severe emotional reactions". The best thing you can do for yourself and the people around you is to inform your self!

How did your friend do? Did he recover? I hope so.
