I was recently prescribed Avelox for Lyme disease. I took on dose, 2- 400 mg tablets. Within an hour, i could not walk, could barely talk, i was severely dizzy, my body went limp, numbness from my head to my toes, muscle twitches and lost my eye sight for several minutes . My husband had to call 911 and have the squad pick me up and take me to the hospital. Before they got there the only thing we could think of doing was for me to take a Benadryl.....which is probably what saved me. It look over 3 hours for this to wear off and along with every thing else i had a terrible seizure.
Please be aware of this medication. If so many people have had terrible side effects from the med, why is it still on the market????
This is just CRAZY!!!!
