I took (1) Levaquin (500mg) tab for a severe kidney infection at about 7:00 at night, at about 8:00 I started to have terrible, horrible pains near my vaginal area and my anal area. To describe the pain it felt like i was in active labor. The pains came like spazums and lasted for about 2-5 mins localized in that area. Also at 8:00 this morning i felt like i was in an all day workout and/or hung-over. I will not be taking another pill and will call my doctor to be prescribed another antibotic. I am so glad that i am not the only person with these side effects, at least i know that it not just a one person thing.

LEVAQUIN is a FLURO quinelone. The fluoride replaces the iron in metalloproteases in your tendons. Remodelling to stress thus fails to occur. It is a molecule shapped like a horseshoe. The base is the formula for an INHIBITORY neurotransmmitter: GABA. It also causes cardiac hyperpolarization. If these dangers are not carefully examined before taking the drug, you are playing Russian Roulette.
But don't just be hysterical. Read. America can't survive as a nation of hedge fund BSers with no grasp of science or math. Doctors are drowning in HMO paperwork and 5 mins. per patient. They can't be thorough and don't have time to read other than the BS of drug salesmen. So don't go by the stupid TV ads. READ-->LEARN-->READ--> and contact the FDA and drug company to get their info on your side effects. If they lie, you have a case. Fight for yourselves instead of just panicking over symptoms. That could kill you whether you stop or not the drugs.
