Levaquin and drinking water

No, I am not a drug rep,I am simply just being honest.Not everyone has a terrible experience from this drug. I am sorry that so many of you have had so many bad reactions,just like any medication it may not be for everyone,but it does work for some.

Ok I am going to tell you of a different side affect I have had. I am 19 only took this for one day and my dizziness (when not constantly drinking water) is crazy-horrible. I feel like I could fall over. I don't really think I could do to much its just so bad. I just had laparoscopic surgery 5 days ago. They gave this for minor infection just to be safe. (just finding out my surgeon is in trouble for another patients infection going out of control) I am constantly wanting to sleep just to make it go away.

I took Levaquin 750 mg for 2 days. The first night it made me sleepy and drowsy. The second night I took it, I was high. I felt like I was a zombie. I sat in front of my computer rocking back and forward. And al I wanted to do while I sat there was take more and more and more levaquin. I wanted sit there and eat them like they were candy. That urge was so overwhelming. So, I hurried up and I flushed them down the toilet except for 3. Knowing that they were there, I wanted to eat those 3, so I flushed them.
That was the worst night of my life. I said to myself if this is how high suppose to feel. I don't ever be high.
This drug need to be taken off the market.

I took 3 days worth of 500mg Levaquin last week - and I have just now realized after reading from this site that all of the past troubles I have had while taking Levaquin is directly related to the drug itself. I have chronic UTI's and the last 3-4 times I have taken Levaquin (7 Day Doses) - I have had flu-like symptoms - I general "yucky" feeling. I was very tired and sore all over. Then 2 days ago - I developed a horrible acne rash all over my chin & chest and my eye lids felt scorched - like the whole side of my face had been slapped about 100 times! My dreams were vivid and some were nightmares and my general "state of mind" seemed slower than usual. I couldn't associate words with their meanings and my memory was shot to h***! I thought to finally look on the internet and see what would come up under "Side Effects Of Levaquin" - I was shocked to read all that I had - because all of it was exactly what I had been going through. It's good to know I wasn't "crazy" and had it all in my head. I will be notifying my urologist as soon as possible to let me him know I will NOT be taking that in the future. Does any one know of a way to get this out of the body quicker? I have been drinking water like crazy!!!! ******

I was given Levaquin for a sinus infection. I just took one dose and was up, running at full speed for the next 30 hours. What a horrible experience. I had the sweats, my heart was racing, I could not sit or stand still. I had a major panic attack. Lost my appetite and had this bad taste in my mouth even when just drinking water. I tried everything to get this drug out of my system. I called my doctor and she told me that she was sure it wasn't the Levaquin, but if I wanted to I could stop taking it. You bet I will stop taking it and will never take it again!
