Levaquin Leva-Pak and uti

I am a professional nurse with extreme allergies; however, please for you own benefit consult your physician but do not stop taking it unless he or she states adverse or of course, you have some reaction requiring emergency medical assistance (911).

Yes I am dizzy, weak, very nauseated (and with my emaciated body frame due to other health issues cannot afford to not eat), and the first 2 days of therapy got a whopper headache. However, I had a UTI that likely moved into the kidneys and also look to have stones and after 8 days am passing urine properly and not up every hour not passing urine; hence it is killing an infection that might kill me.

Early on with this drug we did prescribe higher dosages then perhaps necessary they have now cut back quantity and instead of doing BID dosing do QD dosing. You might require a lower dosage at my body weight they prescribed only 250 mg. a day and this has given me some side effects but is treating an infection that could be fatal...

I was given samples of Levaquin 750 mg by an urgent care physician for a UTI. Fortunately, he only gave me 3 pills because I did not sleep a wink for 72 hours. My heart raced and I was concerned that I could not rest. The first day that I did not take a pill I was able to return to my normal sleep habits, thankfully. I should also note, although I did not sleep, I operated with an excessive amount of energy and no other side effects.
