I'm so glad I found this page. I was prescribed Avelox and Prednisone to treat my sinusitis. I felt nervous the first 3 days but figured it was just the prednisone. After reading this it must have been the Avelox. On day four it was different. It felt like a bad panic attack. Out of body feeling, tingling in the arms with pain in the feet and a general confusion. The feeling of having to run or keep moving around. I was keeping my arms folded because it felt like if I let my hands out they would just start shaking. I'm feeling better now having read this. I feel like calling my doctor and cursing him out. He gave me a coupon with the script which just clarifies how they are being pushed by the drug companies to get this stuff out there. What scares me is the last time I was prescribed antibiotics (6 years ago) for the same thing at the end of taking them i had developed similar feelings of tingling and confused thought. That led to months of tests for neuro diseases which eventually they told me was from anxiety. The feelings have lingered for the years since but never as bad. Those bad feelings came back again with Avelox which makes me believe it wasn't caused by just anxiety back then and perhaps permanent damage was done. Thanks for reading.
