On Sunday I went to the emergency hospital due to a infection from some minor dental sugary (Tooth pulled) on Friday. I had puffed up with infection on the whole side of my face. My dentist advised me to go to emergency so that they could give me some antibiotics that get in my system quicker. I was given Levaquin in an IV I was never informed of any side effects. I was fine for a few hrs. then I started experiencing racing heart and anxiety and could not sleep or concentrate on anything. I felt weak in my legs. It is now Monday evening at 1:18 AM I am still experiencing occasional heart flutters and am still awake although I am finally starting to slow down. I feel like I was on speed for the past 2 days. . I was also given a 10 500MG tabs of levaquin to take. I am not taking them I am glad I looked up this drug. I hope that there will be no other side effects and stopped before taking the pills I am really upset that I was not informed of these possible side effects at the hospital and was not given the change to say no to it. All the bad things that this drug does and an IV bag full and it did not get rid of my infection in my face completely still have swelling. Guess I am going to my doctor and ask for my Keeflex 500 Mg that I never had a problem with.

Youi should have been warned that this drug (also avelox & cipro) have recieved black box warnings on them. This means the doctor is required by law to warn you that this drug can cause tendon damage during use or even after use. I don't know why you weren't warned. You could have a lawsuit on your hand if you wanted. Here's the link, I suggest you print it out and take it to the doctor. www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977396989
Please also warn others you know to stay away from these drugs (called fluoroquinolones) There are many of us poisoned out here. www.favc.info
