I have never taken Levaquin but a friend of mine had a family member that was taking Levaquin when he committed suicide. He had taken about two or three doses of the 750 mg of Levaquin when he killed himself. We felt that Levaquin is the cause of him killing himself. He was not one that would ever think about killing himself. I seen him just seen him about 5 days before he died and he was doing great. He was his normal fun loving self. I personally will not take Levaquin. We did not know that Suicide was a side effect of Levaquin until after he died and someone told me about it. I look up the side effects and found Suicide and I told my friend. The doctors do not tell the patient that Levaquin has a side effect for Suicide when they write a proscription for it. I think that the doctors should warn people about the causes of Levaquin and let them decide if they want to take it.
