My wife and I took Levaquin for two days, Thursday and Friday for colds, neither of us slept either night and I urinated every 15 to 20 minutes during the night, and less but more than usual during the day. We didnt take it last night (Saturday) and both slept much better.
Friday and Saturday I experienced sharp pains in my left elbow joints- something I never had before... as well as back pain in my mid back left side. My wife also experienced some discomfort in the right elbow joint, something she never experienced before.
After not sleeping for the first two nights I told my wife we're stopping the drug, my doctor was not available saturday. I came to the internet to see what side effects this drug has- and came across this forum.

Has anybody had almost instantaneous sharp back pains -- mid back -- within an hour of taking the first dose of Levaquin?
Also, I just took the first pill -- this is probably the third time I've been prescribed this drug. I've noticed that I get unexplained sharp pains in my toes/feet on and off that feel a lot like the pain I've experienced tonight in my back. Thanks for any insight! And thanks for this site -- I just found it!
