A few weeks ago, I was given Levaquin for a sinus infection.
Within a day or so, I started feeling really werid. Constant quivering in the stomach, very weak in the arms and legs. sweating, then chilled. And a feeling of unreality. I was given a 10 day supply.
I checked on the internet and found this site. I am so amazed on how many people are suffering from the side effects of this terrible drug.
I called the manufacturer. and was directed to a dr.
I was told that some people have complained of side effects.
And that anyone having a tendon problem should not go on this medication...She said that after going off this medication, it will take a week or so for the side effects to diminish..
I printed out all the information and letters from people suffering for the side effects and brought them back to the dr that put me on this. He didn't even what to look at them and said he ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS THIS LEVAQUIN OR ANY ANTIBIOTIC IN THE QUINOLONE FAMILY CAN CAUSE. I was told that I should have gone off of it imediately. (I had two left). He also told me that it will take a little while for the effects to get out of my system.
You wonder why in the world drs prescribe such drugs. Guess we're all just gunnie pigs...
Take care everyone and BEWARE OF WHAT YOU PUTTING IN YOU SYSTEM...
