I just was given avelox for a sinus infection, I took it at 0930 am, I woke wanting to urinate and when I started to walk to the bathroom I felt this very strange feeling all over my body, very anxious, I ran outside the house to seek help from neighbors, I kept telling them I just had taken avelox and thought I was having a reaction to the medication. I became anxious, scared, had a lot of fear, jerking arms and legs, reaching out for things, crying uncontrollably. I was taken to the ER and given fluids, a clinical pharmacist was consulted but the ER doctor and pharmacist stated that my symptoms were probably not related to the Avelox because only 0.1 percent of the population suffers from it. Well I guess you an me are one of those 0.1 percent. I was released home and started to have the same symptoms so I decided to flush the medication off by drinking tons of water. I am not totally myself yet, but thanks God I only took one and look at the way I reacted only with one pill.

Under reporting is rampant so the 0.1 percent is bull.
