Avelox and anxiety

I am so glad for everyone's post. I have read so many of your posts and had a lot of a ha moments. I was prescribed Avelox 400 in July 2009. After I took my last dose (10 days), I experienced severe joint pain in my knees, hips, neck, back, shoulders and elbow. Then it went to my fingers. I hurt so bad I couldn't open the door for my dog to go outside. The pain is not so bad anymore, but it is still there. When I get up from writing this I will have a hard time walking. I started loosing brushfuls of hair daily. I now have shortness of breathe. I cry at the weirdest times. I get upset, mad at the littlest things. I have a patch of skin on my back that is constantly irritated, like your shirt tag is rubbing against it but it is not near where my shirt tag is. My husband thinks I am crazy, he says there is nothing there. I started getting stabbing pains in my chest and back, for no reason at all. My mind is like Swiss cheese. I am tired a lot, I want to take several naps a day.
I took all of these things as a sign of getting older...before taking Avelox I felt and acted like a 30 something person now I feel and act like my dad and he is 75.....
I hope we all get to feeling the way we felt before Avelox!!!

I am so annoyed that this medication is still on the market.
What is it going to take for it to be banned??? It took me almost one year to get my life back together. The side effects from this medication are horrible. Only the people who have gone through them know how severe it is. I had anxiety, insomnia, chills, numbing in the hands and feet, palpitations, vomiting, tremors, twitching, vision problems and the list goes on. My body was out of control. My blood tests were even coming back with all sort of problems thyroid, high blood sugar etc. When retested a few months later, everything was normal.
It took me lots of hard work to get myself back to normal. Thanks to Chinese medicine/acupuncture I now have my life back.
Please don't take Avelox!!!!!

My dad had taken Avelox 400 for 5 days prescribed by a doctor for Bronchitis. He is a cardiac patient as well. After 1 week he developed the following symptoms in the order: high fever, Swelling in the ankles and knees, mild jaundice, thick sputum, rashes all over the body, difficulty swallowing food, conjunctivitis affected like discharge from the eyes, poor mental co-ordination, skin tearing in the lips, diarrhea, difficulty passing stool, anxiety, confusion, low blood pressure, insomnia, slightly impaired vision. I only hope and pray he recovers soon. I really do not know why this drug is administered to people when there are other alternatives which are milder. This drug has not done any good to anyone.

My doctor prescribed Avelox 400 mg tablets to treat pneumonia. I was warned by the pharmacist not to take it with my morning vitamins, so I took it 1/2 hour before bed time - needless to say I hardly slept. I started itching all over, my arms started tingling, my heart was racing a hundred miles an hour. Believe it or not I took another one the next night, and yep it happened again, I thought I was dying. My blood pressure dropped to 99/78 and my pulse was 50 - my normal vitals are 120/60, and pulse is 95. It seemed that within minutes my pulse jumped to 115 and my pressure was 138/90. I guess that is what an anxiety attach feels like. Then to top it all off, it felt like someone was pouring water in my veins, this feeling of rushing water ran from my fingers up my arms in into my shoulders then my heart would jump again; I had weakness is my legs and felt nausea the entire next day. I contacted my doctor with no return call, so I discontinued the medication. I do not believe the benefits of this medication out weigh the side effects. I will not ever take this medicine again. I will pray for healing for all of you, God bless and keep smiling.

I have been on Avelox for a severe bronchitis and sinus infection, i truly was pretty ill. Within 24 hrs of taking Avelox I was feeling so much better it was amazing!! I am asthmatic and have a host of allergies..but had none of the side effects many folk here have mentioned.

Avelox has to be taken with food to avoid nausea.

I took Avelox for 4 days and stopped for various reasons. My left hand became numb, I experienced bouts of anxiety and persistent nausea. Fortunately my sinus infection cleared up, but I wouldn't take this medication again.

I just took my first pill and got on the internet. I want to thank all of you for your comments. I started to feel horrible after an hour of taking this pill. I'm experiencing incredible anxiety and I can't wait for it to leave my system. Awful pill!

On 3-25-09 I was started on Avelox for a sinus infection. I took my first pill that day and the second dose when I got up the next AM. I had the normal stomach upset that is normally associated with Avelox but by day 3, things drastically changed. My blood pressure was 168/105, sweating, feeling unattached to my surroundings, dizziness and PANIC. I ended up in the ER due to the panic, uncontrollable crying, feeling that I was dying, blurred vision, elevated heart rate. I felt psychotic! My doctor gave me a shot of Ativan and within 30 minutes, started to feel a little normal, but still had uncontrollable fear. Today is day 4 and am still dealing with the anxiety but have Ativan to take the edge off. I hope this goes away soon. No one should have to go through this trauma. I will never take Avelox again.

PSSAT (and all others suffering) -

Your side effects will NOT go away in a few days.

I was told the same thing after taking JUST ONE pill of Avelox in early February. I was not able to sleep or eat for a month. I was not able to work (my mental acuity was "off"). I lost 15 lbs and wound up in the ER with extreme insomnia/anxiety a month later, after repeatedly asking my doctors if the Avelox caused this and not getting a straight answer (why would they say "yes" when they prescribed it?).

A psychiatrist confirmed Avelox did it. He has seen other patients with the same problem.

Do not take Avelox unless no other meds (Ceftin and Augmentin) work. I've suggested friends & family to put it on their medication allergy lists.

My advice for recovery:

-If you are having anxiety, insomnia, crazy dreams, etc. after taking even one dose of Avelox, STOP TAKING IT, and get in to see a psychiatrist ASAP.

-They will prescribe an anti-psychotic or anti-depressant medication to help you sleep and increase the seratonin and/or dopamine levels in your brain.

-If you think you can recover without medication, you are wrong. I suffered needlessly for a month.

-Acupuncture, exercise, and yoga are great - you should do all three, but if someone leads you to believe it will "heal" you, they're wrong. Avelox is a hardcore drug that damaged your biochemistry - it requires another hardcore med to reverse the damage.

Get on a med like Seroquel, and ease yourself into taking it (take 1/4 or 1/2 tab the first night and work up as needed)...within a few days, you should feel like your old self again.

Wow - this drug is potent. So grateful I am only on the 3rd day. I am not taking another dosage after reading these posts.

You know when something is going on wrong in your body and this drug has been troublesome since the very first dosage. Immediately upon taking the first pill, my mouth started watering and I had to run to the bathroom. I had extreme nausea and dizziness. On the second day, my mouth was dry and I felt extremely tired, nauseous and irritable. I could hardly keep my eyes open and had to drive 1.5 hours to attend a function for my daughter. I nearly fell asleep at the wheel.

Yesterday, I took the 3rd dose, and started suffering from the anxiety that all have complained of. I was awake all night, like I had drank a pot of coffee. The few times I fell asleep, I had vivid nightmares.

I have the last pill sitting next to me and after reading the posts, I am not taking it. I know side effects can be progressive and as more of the drug permeates the system, the side effects can increase!

Thanks to all of you for posting your issues. You may have saved me from extreme effects.

I took Avelox for the first and LAST time today!! I have had 4 ear infections in the last 4 months. My sinus drains into them every nite. My ent prescribed Avelox b/c she want to kick the heck out of this infection. I was abit nervous about taking a different antibiotic because within the last 2 yrs I've developed food allergies. I took it and drank a big glass of water with it. Very soon after I started to feel strange. My throat felt tingly and I felt very anxious and thought I was going to throw up. I calmed down enough to get my son to a neighbors house and get to the ER. Of course I had to wait there I did get a hold of my anxiety. Right below my adam's apple inside my throat felt like the pill was stuck there. I would feel like it was a burp or gas that just couldn't make it out. My stomach felt queasy. I thought I might puke in the waiting room. 4 hours later I am home and feel like crap. My body is achy. My head feels like I've taken percaset(sp) I'm shakey and tired. Climbing the stairs it hard, my legs feel like sandbags. The dr. in the er said he doubted it was an allergic reaction because of how fast it came on. Reading about others experiences makes me think the DR. is wrong!! I did take it on an almost empty stomach. My co-pay on this crap was $55!!!!

I took one pill last night at 8pm and have slept about 3 hours total. I have headache, anxiety, rash,and sinus pain. Avelox was given for a urinary tract infection. My legs snap. snap, snap when I walk. Have pain in knee. All after only one dose. How long till this gets out of your system?

Prescribed Avelox after previous antibiotic could not clear up sinusitis. Avelox cleared it up within three days, but I feel worse now. Extreme agitation/anxiety, tremors, twitches, no appetite, boughts of depression, dizzy, lack of coordination, accelerated heart rate, leg shake, cold extremities, very strange, vivid dreams. Doctor told me to stop taking and side effects should clear up in a few days ( I hope). This is nuts. I feel like I am going insane. I could not go to work for three days due to side effects.

I've recently had a staph infection on my right knee, and my regular dr. was closed so I decided to go to a nurse practitioner. She decided to give me samples of Avelox and actually had me take one of them in the office. Little did I know I was about to experience hell on earth!! After taking the first dose, I began to get extremely dizzy and disoriented but I slept well the first night. I thought I just felt bad from the staph infection and figured I would take another dose of the Avelox. Big mistake!!!! After that second dose I started having uncontrollable anxiety, depression, extreme confusion, and even became paranoid that I had some type of serious illness. I couldn't eat or function well at all and I have 3 small children to care for. When I tried to sleep I felt like I was passing out rather than falling asleep. I saw weird images in front of my eyes and jumped out of bed at 2:30 am panic-stricken. I found this site and saw what so many others have been through and was convinced it was the Avelox. But I've been off of it for 2 days and I still feel out of it, unable to think clearly, and have an odd detached feeling. I'm hoping this is not permanent damage. I just want to feel like my old self again! And I agree with so many others- Avelox should be taken off the market!! It is a horrible drug!!!!!

WOW!! I cannot believe I found you all! I am having severe reactions after taking Avelox. I took it for 9 days, stopped it on 12/20/08. Sice then, I have continued to experience extreme dizziness, confusion, sleeping problems, stomach upset, depression and severe anxiety. Please someone tell me I have some sort of recourse here. I am about to lose my job over it. Thanks ~

My 20 yr old daughter was given Avelox 400mg to take one per day for 7 days for a sinus infection. Two hours after taking the first pill last night she became very drowsy and extremely nauseous and vomited several times. Her heart was racing and she felt unexplained anxiety as if she was having a panic attack, and couldn't sleep most of the night. Why don't doctors think before giving out medications!? Or at least warn the patient of these side effects which appear to be VERY common!

I am so happy I found this site and read some of the entries. On Monday I had gone to the doctor because a sinus infection I had last week had come back. So he suggested something stronger this time, Avelox 400mg. The first night I took it I had the usual nausea and dizziness. But the 2nd night I took it I had on top of the nausea.... anxiety, couldn't focus, jittery, trouble falling asleep, slight tremors. I was freaked out because I never have this from any other antibiotic before. After I found this site, I called my doctor immediately and he switch me to the Z-pak, which I'm used to taking with little side effects. I still feel weird and can't wait until this drug is out of my system. I'm soo glad I stopped before my side effects got worse. What a horrible drug. It should be taken off the market! Yes i took away my infection fast but soooo not worth the horrible side effects!

I went to a walk-in clinic with ear pain...was told I had an ear infection and prescribed Avelox. Took the first pill about 6pm with dinner and an hour later felt very cold..could not get warm, dry mouth, tremors in my lips, then the left side of my face started to lose feeling...not all the way numb but not as sensitive to touch as the right side of my face. Worse than all of that was the "detached, out of bodish" feeling and the mounting anxiety. I went to bed hoping to sleep it off and no better this morning. I woke up with muscle soreness and weakness in my left arm. My heartrate is sitting about 90-100 bpm and I feel so jittery. I went to my regular doc who said I didn't even have an ear infection. When does this go away?! I hate this feeling of not being normal, being so anxious. And I am so mad because I didn't even need this antibiotic!!

My mother has been on Avelox for 1.5 days and now we're in the ER. Very similar symptoms as I've read - tremors/anxiety/headache/short of breath/pressure in the chest. Doctors just gave her Benadryl and Prednisone. She also has extreme swelling of the legs. has anyone experienced this particular symptom?

I'm so glad I found this page. I was prescribed Avelox and Prednisone to treat my sinusitis. I felt nervous the first 3 days but figured it was just the prednisone. After reading this it must have been the Avelox. On day four it was different. It felt like a bad panic attack. Out of body feeling, tingling in the arms with pain in the feet and a general confusion. The feeling of having to run or keep moving around. I was keeping my arms folded because it felt like if I let my hands out they would just start shaking. I'm feeling better now having read this. I feel like calling my doctor and cursing him out. He gave me a coupon with the script which just clarifies how they are being pushed by the drug companies to get this stuff out there. What scares me is the last time I was prescribed antibiotics (6 years ago) for the same thing
at the end of taking them i had developed similar feelings of tingling and confused thought. That led to months of tests for neuro diseases which eventually they told me was from anxiety. The feelings have lingered for the years since but never as bad. Those bad feelings came back again with Avelox which makes me believe it wasn't caused by just anxiety back then and perhaps permanent damage was done. Thanks for reading.

I,m self employed, was on a deadline job, and couldn't miss work, when i came down with an upper respiratory infection. When I couldn't sleep (It hurt to swallow and breathing deeply hurt my upper chest), I decided to self medicate with an old amoxicillin script I found in the medicine cabinet. After two days the symptoms were gone and I continued to finish the script (two 875 mg a day for 6 days). On Oct 29, I seemed to have symptoms returning so I went to my PCP. He told me not to self medicate again and said he would have to put me on a stronger antibiotic - Avelox. I took my first of 10 doses that same day at 2pm. I had no noticeable reaction until I took the second dose the next day. It was about 4 hours later, and I was standing at the counter at Lowes when I started to feel sick. I was feeling dizzy and anxious and like I was going to faint. someone got me a stool to sit on and a bottle of water. Within a few minutes I had the urge to go outside for fresh air. That helped but as I returned inside the experience repeated. I finally told the man waiting on me that I'd better continue the transaction at a later time. The next thing I remember is being picked up off the floor and asking me if I was all right. At my insistence he helped me back out the door into the cold air. I refused an ambulance and after 10 minutes of rejuvenation in that fresh air I managed to drive the half mile home. A few hours after calling the doctors office they got back to me and said it was doubtful avelox caused it. I've been taking dose 3,4,and5 in the morning and every time I experience the same symptoms. Within a half hour of taking the drug I start to feel nauseated, start burping, am shakey and I start trembling. If I try to walk my legs are very weak and shaky. I experience feelings of anxiety, am somewhat disoriented and confused. I get tingling down my arms, I tremble and feel either hot or cold. I haven't fainted any more, but I often feel like I might. I'm halfway through my 10 day regimen and will have to consider quitting, after seeing all the similar reports on this website. I'll be discussing it with my doctor on Monday.

I took Avelox for a sinus infection, and had the worst week of my life! It made me so thirsty, I had to have a bottle of water at my side constantly. I am a singer, and it dried out my throat and made my vocal chords swollen. Also, it gave me panic attacks, confusion and ruined the show I had to perform in. Next time, I will just live with the sinus infection. This was hell!

This is day 3 of taking Avelox. OMG, I think I'm going to die! I feel terrible. Exhausted, nausea, panicky, like I can't breathe. After reading all these posts, I"m 100% convinced this is from Avelox. I was driving in the car with my daughter yesterday and had to literally pull over because I thought I was going to pass out. I thought it might be a panic attack so (thank god) I took an Xanax and 15 minutes later felt fine. Felt fine all last night and felt great when I woke up this morning. Took the Avelox and wouldn't you know it, 1/2 hour later starting feeling terrible again. I thought I felt bad from the sinus infection...ha...I'll take that over these side effects any day. Please people, don't take this drug. As soon as I can get a hold of my doctor tomorrow I'm done taking this. I have taken many other antibiotics in my life and never had a reaction to them. This stuff is terrible!

A started taking Avelox Sept 18,2008. The first night I could not get warm. I was freezing. I took my temperature and it was 95.0. This is Sept. 21, 2008. I woke up with bad back pain with associated pain down my leg, anxiety, dizziness, my mouth is so dry I couldn't spit if I were on fire, neck pain and tendinitis type pain in my left elbow (always have it in the right elbow already). I have small bumps all over my hands and my skin, all over my body, is so dry it is peeling. I thought I had some severe illness and then found this and other sites about Avelox. I will NEVER take this crap again. I started with a sinus infection and ended up like this.

IMPORTANT: The reason I went on this pill is that my INSURANCE COMPANY would not pay for sinus surgery unless I was treated for a full month! WTF?

Don't take this medication unless the benefits out-weigh the risks! It is a "last ditch" kind of drug. Did it help my sinus infection? Yes, already, but I will not be taking the next dose.

I am on my fifth day taking Avelox. Today I noticed some increased anxiety and my ankles hurt?! A throbbing and frightening pain.. both ankles. I've already called my doctor and will go see him tomorrow. I did not do anything strenuous at all that would cause this. The anxiety is killing me!

I was given a free 10 day coupon for Avelox by a physician to treat an awful cold that wouldn't go away. He also wrote a prescription for, and I got it filled at a pharmacy, an inhaler. Avelox is the WORST medicine I have ever encountered in my 69 years!! I took it for 4 days and QUIT (today) the *^%(% thing. Who wants to be dizzy, crabby, anxious, short with people, impatient, thirsty all the time, constantly gasping for breath, and NO energy at all?
Bayer should be prosecuted, condemned for creating this poison pill. I can't believe this med it is still allowed for public consumption!??

Starting taking Avelox last Thursday (May 29) after having a sinus infection/pneumonia. Sunday afternoon I was watching "one flew over the cuckoo's nest. I started getting really paranoid that i was gonna loose my mind and started a panic attack and plenty of anxiety. Monday I was hanging out with my amazing girlfriend and started getting really anxious and depressed over basically nothing. Today is Wednesday and I'm really dizzy and anxious as I write this. F#$% this medicine, I'm calling my doc tomorrow to take something else... You're not going crazy, it's just the avelox. PS - Good site to find :)

I was put on Avelox 6 days ago along with methylprednisolone for a severe sore throat, chest congestion, and cough. Since taking the medication, I have had episodes of anxiety, panic (hard to catch my breath which leads to the feeling of panic), restlessness, trouble sleeping at night, nausea, and problems with my memory (I have had numerous episodes where my mind blanks and I forget what I was going to do or what I was in the middle of doing). My emotions have been all over the place since taking this. I have had episodes where my body just feels very strange. I also have had bursts of pain in my left hip. I am only 41 and have never had this happen before. I was attributing it to my illness because I was very sick at first but now the illness is gone (except for a little congestion that is left) and I am stilling having side effects. It didn't occur to me until today that it could be the medication because I've never had any bad side effects from medication except getting sick to my stomach with codeine. I decided to research Avelox and now am convinced about its side effects. I won't be taking my last pill and will call the doctor tomorrow.

I wonder if mixing Avelox and methylprednisolone caused any effects? Haven't researched that yet.

I am very scared right now and concerned, but recently I have been sick for the last 3 weeks or 4 weeks. I went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago and he prescribed some Amoxicillin for my sickness. He said he couldn't identify what I had so he gave me a broad based anti biotic. For about a week I took it and didn't get any better. The medicine caused me to get dizzy spells after sleep and before sleep. So this week I went back to the doctor and he said the medicine wasn't helping me and my white blood cell count had gone up. So I had to get some blood taken . Then the nurse couldn't find my vain easily. She managed to get a little blood though and took it for lab samples. The doctor came back and said I needed to take some Avelox and gave it to me. So for about two days I took it and I felt ok, but later the second day I started having a panic attack for no reason. I told my dad I needed to lay down.

After that, my dad made me some food and I laid down and watched TV and the feeling soon left. I was really feeling sick so I got a cold rag and put it on my forehead. I was looking forward to my mom coming home from Wednesday night church. I fell asleep for about 30 minutes. Then my mom came home and woke me up and we talked for a bit and then I went back to sleep.

Well, today I got curious about my medicine and looked it up and found out some terrible news. The medicine I am taking has actually landed people in the hospital. I found a site where people who had taken it posted what the side affects were. They all had reports about having anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and muscle aches.It was then I realized that my medicine is what caused the panic attack the day before. I called my dad instantly and told him about the bad side affects. He didn't really seem to care that much. He listened to me though, which is a step up from my mom. Then I called my mom and explained to her. She just ignored me and didn't care. I was crying and I felt so terrible and frustrated. I was just trying to explain to her that my medicine caused very bad side affects and even thoughts of suicide. She didn't really seem concerned though, she said she'd call my doctor and talk to him about it.

Right now my parents and I are just really stressed about this whole thing. I refuse to take my medicine because of it's dangerous side affects... but if I don't have any medication at all I won't get better. I'm just in a really bad situation and I am just so depressed I feel as if I could burst!! Everyday I feel like utter crap and my vision is screwed up and I don't have an appetite so I have to make myself eat. Also, my white blood cell count keeps getting higher and if something isn't done soon what I have could be very dangerous.

I keep praying to God... but it doesn't feel like he hears me. I am in great emotional pain, my parents are never home and I'm lonely the majority of the day to , and being sick doesn't help. I am starting to experience a bit of the thoughts of suicide.I keep convincing myself I need to live and I'll get better and I don't need to die. It's hard though I am fighting with all my might to keep it away.

I finished up the whole ten days. Taking it at night with a Xanax helped everything go smoothly. I had no dramatic pains, no wierd brain occurrences -- nothing like that at all. I did have some anxiety at the beginning, but the Xanax helped. If you have no other choice, it's ok. I might take something else next time if given the choice... Sounds like a lot of people have had major problems -- hope they all clear up. Good luck.

I was prescribed Avelox for a sinus infection. After taking one pill, I woke up that night with my heart racing and from that through myself into a panic attack. I was at the Doctors office today for an EKG (came back normal). I was told to never take this drug again. Now almost 24 hours after taking just one dose, I am still experiencing heart palpitations and an anxiety feeling. I feel like I drank a whole pot of coffee and ran a marathon. Don't take this drug!!!!! I'm wondering how long it will take to get out of my system??

I have been on Avelox for three days and pretty much I'd say so far, so good. I have had some anxiety, which I am prone to, but I would probably guess that some of that came from reading all of these posts. I am allergic to most antibiotics, so I do understand allergic reactions. I have been suffering from advanced tonsillitis for about two months. Nothing else has helped. After three Avelox I feel like a new woman. Again, I would not say it is side effect free -- I have had some insomnia and anxiety. The first pill I took during the day and felt very bizarre. The next two I took at night along with a Xanax to help the anxiety and sleeping. So far it seems to have fixed the problems I was experiencing. As I said, I am definitely not out to discount anyone else's experiences, because they sound horrendous. I just wanted to give some hope to those others out there who are allergic to just about everything else. I'm doing well so far, and it really seems to have cleared up my infection when nothing else was working. Here's hoping the next seven days go just as smoothly!

I was given Avelox repeatedly for about a 4 month period for sinuses. Ended up having surgery to correct sinus issue. Four months after I have chronic back and rib pain, light headedness, itch skin, burning skin, sore leg muscles the list goes on. After a lot of testing nothing can be found wrong. Is it possible I'm just now seeing the effects of this drug?

I was given Avelox for a sinus infection and bronchitis 2 days ago.
I have COPD, CNS, STROKE, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY and other health conditions and wasn't feeling well at all.
My first pill made me feel out of it and then my lips started to tingle and felt numb.
I asked my brother to look at them and he said they looked ok to him.
I also have pill a phobia so I thought maybe it's just my imagination? But...
I got on the net and seen all the post's and though I was told these side affects were rare ...I seen they aren't that rare!!!!!
I tried calling my doctor to get a different medication but could not get a hold of him.
I was sick and not able to get a hold of my doctor ,so I took the pill the next day and my lips did the same thing but worse....this time they swelled up and the inside of my lips are raw.
I called the pharmacy and they said to stop taking them I was having an allergic reaction to them and I need to take Prednisone and Benadryl right away.
I called the doctor again and still no response!!!!
It took the pharmacy all day to reach him themselves to help me!!
Finally, they got a hold of him at 8:30PM.
Today I am now taking amoxicillin, Prednisone and Benadryl.
The swelling has gone done, but my lip's are still raw and I feel very shaky.
I will never take this medication AGAIN!
With all my health conditions I do not no why my doctor gave me this medication!!!
I find that doctor's love to hand out all these new medications like candy.......when they don't know anything more about them than what pharmaceutical companies tell them.
They do no research on them themselves!!!

The first night wasn't too bad just some mild insomnia. The second night I tried to go to sleep but was having trouble breathing, heart palpitations and enough anxiety and fear that I wouldn't let go of my wife for most of the night. When I finally fell asleep I was still very groggy and had to miss some work and catch up. Last night I still had anxiety and weird breathing patterns and I've never had any problems with antibiotics before. I started taking them because I have been suffering from a cold for more than a week and finally started to get an ear infection. The sourness went away quick but the side affects are enough that I will discontinue my meds. The one post I read on here about suicidal tendecies had me concerned.

joint,tendon,muscle pain. all over my body.stiffness, muscle weakness,paranoia, emotional outbursts,blistering sunburns,yeast infections,anxiety,numbness,tremors this drug has destroyed my youthful 19 year old body. this crap should be banned it has ruined my life. its been 2 months and all my symptoms still persist with no sign of stopping. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CHEMOTHERAPY DRUG IT IS POISON AND SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN OUT TO ANYONE I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN TAKE ANOTHER PILL OF THIS CRAP. STAY AWAY!

Elevated heart rate, premature ventricular contractions, anxiety.
