I just finished taking a prescription for levaquin, 500mg once a day for 7 days. I cannot begin to describe the intense joint pain; hips, knees, hands, feet, it was horrible. I experienced nausea and headaches as well. Plus, I have been so exhausted that it's almost impossible to describe; I've been sleeping 15-17 hrs and still can barely keep my eyes open. I will never take this drug again unless it's a life or death emergency!

Wow,that sound's awfull,sorry you had to go thru that.
I would put that on your list of med's not to take anymore and tell your doctor what you went thru.

Hope your feeling better soon.!!!

Sorry to hear about your reaction. I too had the tremendous fatigue. I can't even explain the feeling but even after I stopped the drug it took an great deal of effort to walk to the garage from the house.... and I'm only 48!!! I WAS in great shape. Even today I have bouts of fatigue (especially in the morning). I wish you well. Hang in there, it does improve.
