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.
Adimpled2 - I am just finishing up a 5 day course of Levaquin 750mg for a sinus infection, and I am so glad it's over! I too had the zombie feeling, and could not sleep AT ALL for 3 days straight. No sleep makes you feel crazy!! I couldn't think right, and was getting emotional because of it. I also noticed joint and muscle pain, and very pale hands and feet. I was going to stop after the first pill, but I knew that you are supposed to finish antibiotics. WhatI am trying to figure out is why an antibiotic would caus such side effects!?
Bebuhi - I am on levaquin 750mg right now. I notice I didn't get much sleep last night, but let me tell you I feel 90% better. This is a miracle drug. My sinus have cleared and my face pain is almost gone and I have only been taking it for one day.
Rclayton - 0icu812 - You were not high, to feel high you will experience a euphoric experience that gives you an overwhelming sense of happiness. Read up on what drugs do to an individual and why people become addicted to drugs. Nonetheless, it is an antibiotic for Pete's sake!
B_rad77 - I am also currently on levaquin 750 tablets for sinutitus. I have taken 2 doses. The first night I slept about 2 hours, I just couldn't fall asleep. Last night wasn't much better, I finally fell asleep around 3:00am and woke up at 7:00am having to urinate something terrible. I am feeling better though. My doctor has prescribed a 5 day dose. I wonder if my sleep will be affected for the intire 5 days? This is a powerful antibiotic.... I've read where you should drink up to 2 quarts of fluids per day with this drug. I have a history of kidney stones, so I'm drinking water like a fish. It also effects your taster as well. Foods just don't taste the same. I hope the 5 days goes quickly.
Relieved001 - I have taken Levaquien 750 mg tablets twice in the last year and I must say this is a very good antibiotic. I do not understand how some people on this site can write that they felt high or were not able to sleep while on Levaquin as it is an antibiotic. Antibiotics do not make people high.
Rnr - I am currently on day 6 of a 7 day prescription for Lavaquin 750mg due to sinutitus. I too had difficulty sleeping the entire night after taking my first dose earlier that afternoon. The second night was not as bad. I have not had any more sleepness nights and would take this antibiotic again if it were prescribed. I am feeling so much better now!
Alfiemo7 - well..Today my doctor prescribed me 750mg of Lavaquin , i went online to read all information about that pill.. now i'm kind of scare and there's a lawsuit against this pill what should i do!???
Dakiddo311 - I have a touch of pneumonia and was prescribed Levaquin 750mg and I took it at about 6pm last night for my first dose. I was wired! I couldn't fall asleep until after 2 and I get up at 5. Needless to say, I am sleepy today at work. I think I will take this drug during the day vs in the evening. I do agree it does make things taste different. I'm on this for 7 days, and if I can't sleep for 7 days....I'm in big trouble!
777 - You need to watch TV . . . .the FDA is warning about this dangerous drug and attorneys have ads. STOP TAKING IT !!!
Melanie1285 - I was prescribed Leviquin 750mg ( 5 days) for sinus infectoin. On the fifth day I told my doctor my body hurt all over and my bone would not bend. She said to stop taking it but I had taken my last dose. 20 days later I went to see her and told her my arm hurt and my right heel felt like I had a rock in it for the last 2 weeks and I could not walk. She disregarded that the Levequin could do that. So I went to see the pharmacy and they said oh that leviaquin should be out of the body with in 5 days. Bull- now I am reading all of the side effects and the black box warnings and I am in tears with how much I hurt all over. I am going to my doctor tomorrow and report all of these pains along with my left arm coming out of socket and my thumbs not bending. Otherwise I was a healthy non drug, drinking 51 year old women who has been in pain for the last 2 months.
Babycakes_90 - i have been on leviquin for about 8 days now for a bad kidney infection and the first night it made me so drowsy and so i slept real good but for the last week i have only been able to sleep 3 hrs and no more i am so tired but everytime i close my eyes i can feel my heart racing and it doesnt feel good and im peeing like every 5 minutes but i am glad i am no longer in pain and the pain went away after 3 days of using the antibiotic. i only have 2 days left and hope i can finally get some sleep after i am done taking the whole dose. i just want to throw them away and never touch them again but i have to take the full prescription.
Sooofocused - I just completed a 5 day dose of Levaquin 750mg. I've had 0% side effects and I feel 100% better. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Karibrich - Am taking levaquin 750 mg for a sinus infection and I can tell it is working very well for that already. I do feel tired and zombish right after I take it and I woke up constantly last night. It makes you want alot of water hence the multiple bathroom trips at night. If you feel that joint pain you are supposed to stop taking it immediately and call the Dr. Day number 2 can't wait to be finished. I think they put something in it that forces you to rest.
