This is in addition to the last post I made to you. You should stop taking the Levaquin and ask your doctor for another antibiotic. Just make sure that it is not a flouroquinolone or a quinolone (Cipro, Avelox, Floxin, etc). This family of antibiotics will cause all of the same pains and then some. Do read the other posts and visit the websites mentioned. You'll be in shock from what you learn about these antibiotics. Be prepared for your doctor to have no knowledge of these side effects. Your doctor will probably tell you not to read stuff off of the internet and dismiss your claim that your pains are drug related. Just remember that it is your body and your health. Insist on a different antibiotic.
This registry is a place to share positive or negative side effects of using Levaquin. If you directly experienced a side effect while using Levaquin, then we encourage you to enter it here. Please note that entries here are the experiences of individual users, and in no way means that you or anyone else will experience the same side effect, since the same medication affects people in different ways. Please always contact your physician.
