Levaquin and persistent cough

I was prescribed Levaquin for a persistent cough and sinus condition I have had for six weeks. I am on day two and I can tell you if I have the same side effects tonight as I had this past night I am calling my Doctor. After taking Levaquin my symptons became worse, I could not stop coughing (it seems to have exacerbated the cough) all night and when I did fall asleep the nightmares I had were, to say the least, horrible. I would urge caution on taking this drug.

I am an active 33 year old male. I was prescribed seven days of 500mg levo for a persistent cough. I continued to commute to work by bicycle but otherwise did not strain myself. I drank lots of water as well. I experienced no side effects at all. Still had the cough though after seven days of the drug. The only problem I experienced was reading this message board after the first dose and feeling really scared. But nothing bad happened to me. Good luck!
