I not sure that what I am experiencing is related to my 9 month course of 750 mg Levaquin, or my simultaneous 9 month course of 300 mg Rifampin, or my 6 week course of IV Vancomyocin twice a day........You all are talking about days and weeks....I have been on these hardcore meds for substantially longer. I became infected with Staph Epidermidis in the disc space of L 4-5 during surgery to correct degeneration in my spine. I am now left with joint pain from head to toe, Uveitis, a scaly rash all over my trunk and arms, stomach pain, further degeneration in my spine, insomnia, severe fatigue, depression, and what I call "brain fog." I have been told by the team of Doctors caring for me that the only symptom that relates to my medication is possibly the Uveitis. I would like to know how you all are attributing the medications to your ailments? (insomnia, depression, fatigue, joint pain... for example) Are you sure that they are not symptomatic of another disease process? After stopping the medications has your health become normal? I have to remain on this medication for the remainder of the year. I do not have the option of just flushing it down the toilet, as someone previously posted. There are only a few medication that can combat my illness, but I would like to know that they are not harming me in the long run.

I was put on a 500mg Levaquin dose 5 days ago for Kidney infection. Each day I felt worse, but I was thinking it was the infection. I am so tired but couldn't sleep, my stomach aches, burns, cramps and my back hurts so bad. I have had a hard time eating or drinking at all. It feels as if I am trying to digest broken glass. Today someone directed me to this site and my eyes about popped out! I immediately called my doctor and was seen. She took me off the Levaquin right away. Hope it doesn't take too long for me to feel better.
