I am currently taking levaquin for a sinus and double inner ear i...

this poison accumulates in your body. one of these times you will experience some effects that don't go away. you are taking a chance taking this drug and you shouold ask for something safer.

Here we go....good for you! I am glad this drug has worked for you, and that all you have suffered is mild sleeplessness and stomach cramps. However, to post on this forum and suggest that some of the "side effects that people are describing are normal" is both belittling and borderline insensitive. Yes, it worked for you and "so far" you have not had any adverse effects, but for those of us whose lives have been altered, this is a nightmare from which we cannot awake. We get to get through each and every day in pain. Not knowing if it will ever get better. Live our lives keeping our spirits up at great effort. I hobble around in pain all day long. I have tendonitis EVERYWHERE! I was in great health. I was athletic, kick boxing, hiking, playing softball. Now I struggle to exercise mildly and pay a huge price for the slightest exertion. I don't mean to ramble, but postings like yours make me angry that you seem to take so lighly and flippantly the fact that this drug that works so wonderfully exacts a HUGE price. Panic? No one panics here, we are simply trying to prevent others from going through what we have. Yeah, it worked for me too...knocked out the infection for sure, but left me like this over 2 years later. Please think twice and put yourself in others position the next time you decide to post on a forum like. Have a little more compassion and count your lucky stars that you are still normal after this drug.

I think you're a drug rep.

Yup. I agree with the rep diagnosis. Borderline insensitive? How about downright rude? Anyone who would write that after reading about the trauma people have endured is not a person. Since drug reps are not people, ergo this person must be a drug rep!

Take a few more Levaquin ... for all of our sake. I'll buy!
