This is day 3 of taking Avelox. OMG, I think I'm going to die! I feel terrible. Exhausted, nausea, panicky, like I can't breathe. After reading all these posts, I"m 100% convinced this is from Avelox. I was driving in the car with my daughter yesterday and had to literally pull over because I thought I was going to pass out. I thought it might be a panic attack so (thank god) I took an Xanax and 15 minutes later felt fine. Felt fine all last night and felt great when I woke up this morning. Took the Avelox and wouldn't you know it, 1/2 hour later starting feeling terrible again. I thought I felt bad from the sinus infection...ha...I'll take that over these side effects any day. Please people, don't take this drug. As soon as I can get a hold of my doctor tomorrow I'm done taking this. I have taken many other antibiotics in my life and never had a reaction to them. This stuff is terrible!

omg...I just had the same experience...this is my third day of the avelox and I called the pharmacist to let them know i was having terrible anxiety and dizzy spells and they said it was my infection but i know it's not because I don't have any symptoms left from the infection, but after I take the avelox I'm dizzy, anxious and can't get off the toilet---I think the pharmacist is wrong and if I have to feel this way to get better, I'd rather be sick.
