I have been taking Levaquin for four days now and am suffering from serious lower leg pain, weakness in my right hand, nausea, my skin feels so hot all the time and not able to sleep. I am sure the Levaquin is causing this as this all started right after taking the first pill. I did not get an information sheet from the pharmacy that there were serious side effects to this drug. I was prescribed Levaquin for a sinus / ear infection because I am allergic to Zithromax (my liver reacts negatively with this antibiotic). I will not be continuing the course of antibiotic and hope the pain stops.

I took Levaquin for what they thought was a UTI a couple of years ago and immediately was nauseas (dry-heaving) and really hot. I stopped it immediately. The side effects were so bad, that I refused to take anything else and just let my "infection" run it's course. Good luck.
