I took my first pill of Levaquin 500 and started having abdominal...

why nwere you put on it and are you off it now? please, please, please be careful. my friend was given levaquin for pneumonia and after 5 pills (i begged her too stop taking it) she had a stroke and has now been in the hospital for 3 wks. they think she may "walk again in time." she will probably never be the same. this is a person in her 50's, not an old person. i wish she had listened to me. i hope you will heed my warning and listen to your body. it's clearly telling you something. you don't need prednisone; you need to be off levaquin. please file a report with the FDA on medwatch. the more complaints they get, the more likely they are to listen

mariat . . . Unfortunately, many drs. continue to prescribe this drug . . even though the FDA is warning about this drug and the attorneys have ads for lawsuits . . .drs. are too busy now days . . . very scary.
