Levaquin and obgyn

Ok, here goes! I've waited to enter this until I left the levaquin nightmare. This drug made my life miserable for three months. Iam a very healthy active person even ran a marathon in Novemember. I was prescribed levaquin for a lung infection in February. Was prescribed 500 mg for a week. When I started taking the drug I had very bad neck spasms but just assummed the drug was ridding me of infection. The full effects of the drug became more evident towards the end of treatment.
I was extremely tired, sleepy, very weak muscles hardly able to push the gas peddle without feeling weak. The thought of walking to the mail box was overwhelming. I had internal chills and shivering, muscle aches, muscle spasms and muscle twitching and just felt dreadful. This went on for about three months. I am still not myself but I think I am on the road to recovery. I was told by my doctor that I had neurotoxicity to levaquin. I cannot tell you how much money and agony this has caused me. I was also referred to a rheumatologist, and a neurologist to rule out other diseases.I went to a naturopath, my obgyn, my dermatologist (
weird skin things) I worried like crazy that I would never be the same all because of an antibiotic. This drug should be taken off the market immediately. Good luck to all of you who are suffering. I have things that seemed to help me but I think time is the only cure.

I have been fighting a infection in my toncil for two months. the doctor put me on zithromax twice with no results. I finally went to a specialist who put me on ten days of Levaquin. Wow ! This is the first time in months i did not have a sore throat. My toncilitis cleared up. Thank god because my doctor said my toncils had to come out if i didn't get better. I experienced no sleep problems or stomach disorders. The only problem i think i am having is a small yeast infection. I will make an appointment with my Obgyn soon. Some meds work better than others. It all depends on whats right for you!!!!!!!!!!
