I was prescribed an 11 day supply of Levaquin - 500 mg. I'm on day 7 and struggling to make it 4 more days. The first day I took the tablet around 5 pm. I was up all night. Since taking in the morning, I've been fine. Now, I'm suffering from very sore biceps, heels and stiff knees. The fatigue is overwhelming. I also experience extreme dizziness as well. I may call the doctor tomorrow to see if I can stop this. I've taken various antibiotics throughout my lifetime and never have experienced the side effects such as this one.

It sounds like you are trying to endure this torture with the belief that it will go away when you are done with the prescription? If so, you should be forewarned that these symptoms can be long lasting or permanent for some people. Personally, I will attest to 22 months of pure Hell.

I urge you to consider the implications of what you are doing. It might be in your best interest to stop taking this poison.

If after reading any of the postings here on this forum, I would say it is positivley in your best interest to stop taking it IMMEDIATELY!! I am 2 1/2 years into this and suffer daily pain...tendonitis throughout my entire body...at just about every joint...I was on 750 mg for 6 days....I pray everyday that a tendon doesn't rupture...stop now or potentially pay for a long time like so many of us...good luck!
