I have been taking this Leviquin for 4 days. I have had severe cramps in my calves and feet in the middle of the night. So bad that I get up and try to step em' off but to no avail. My muscles hurt so bad in my legs arms and I have been very sick to my stomach. Do these things go away? I am not taking one more of those pills. I would rather have sinus and bronchitis problems than deal with these horrific side effects!! Any feed back?

I can only speak from my own experience but I wish I had stopped taking it sooner than I did. 2.5 years now and this nightmare has not ended yet. I believe you are correct...... stop taking this poison, it will kill you.

Hi. Yes, they do go away. The bad news is that it can take many months. Don't lose hope. You will get better. Just be careful that you don't rupture a tendon. Don't push yourself too hard. Rest and time will heal. Good luck.

You have been poisoned by a quinolone antibiotic; there are literally thousands that have been damaged by these drugs. Just not everyone has made the connection to the serious adverse reactions. For the most part these reactions occur weeks, months or even years after the antibiotic treatment.
The drugs are
Levaquin (levafloxacin)
Cipro (ciprofloxacin)
Floxin (offoxacin)
Avelox (Moxifloxacin)

If you have not already file a med watch report to the FDA

Hope you have a swift healing process and above all never take another quinolone antibiotic.
