As many here many recognize, I had tremendous problems after taking Levaquin. This included: distal bicep tendon rupture, a full range of psychological symptoms, extreme and long lasting fatigue, etc. Even after going through this ordeal and still dealing with the fallout almost 2 yrs. later I am once again in disbelief at the medical community. My 18 yr. old daughter just visited a nurse practitioner and came home with a prescription for Levaquin. This alone was enough to make me angry but the fact that it was prescribed for a cold sore (no, I'm not kidding) is just beyond belief! And we wonder why we have the problems we do. Trust no one!
