Levaquin Leva-Pak and joints

Took it for 7 days (of a 14-day course) and after 4 days I was getting weaker and weaker, and developing pain and stiffness in my muscles and joints. I started sleeping excessively and felt that all of the life had been drained from me. I finally went to the doctor, and he said he'd never heard of these side-effects from Levaquin. He told me to stop the medication, which I already had, and said maybe I had PMS??? I am gradually getting better, but think I might need to take potassium supplements for a while, since I believe that the Levaquin caused low potassium - if you read the leaflet that comes with the med, you'll see that one of the warnings relates to taking Levaquin if you have a history of low potassium. I won't take this antibiotic again.

i'm glad i found this site. I had fluid in my ear drum. went to quick care and they gave me a prescription for levaquin 750mg. On the fourth day i woke up not able to close my hands. The pain and stiffness in my joints was severe. unable to hold on to anything. I also have pain in every joint in my body or it feels like it. What can i do to get this stuff out of my body? I ache all over. Need some feed back, please help if you have info on this.

Took Levaquin for twp weeks and now can hardly walk in the morning. The pain and stiffness in my joints is really bad.Could this be the cause? It did"t start till I used this. Marsh
