I had an operation on my big toe joint. My foot developed an inflamation after I'd taken one round of another antibiotic (starts with a d), and my doctor put me on Levaquin. I developed a severe itchy red rash on my ankles and legs. It's moving up to my eyelid now. I quit after four pills, and I'm on anthistemines now to control the rashes.

I had been feeling sick for 4 weeks before taking Levaquin and finally went to the doctor to get something for my cold. My doctor gave me Levaquin. On day three of taking it I couldn't walk and had so much pain in my joints. I felt like I had been beat with a stick.

I don't even know how this is allowed on the market. After my first dose I had the most vivid dreams I have ever had. For the first time I felt pain in my dream. My teeth getting kicked in, the wind getting knocked out of me. With the second dose, on the second night I experienced truly the most terrifying night of my life. The nightmares were so vivid, I cried and threw up in my sleep. ... Show Full Comment

I don't even know how this is allowed on the market. After my first dose I had the most vivid dreams I have ever had. For the first time I felt pain in my dream. My teeth getting kicked in, the wind getting knocked out of me. With the second dose, on the second night I experienced truly the most terrifying night of my life. The nightmares were so vivid, I cried and threw up in my sleep. I was afraid to be by myself, and I wouldn't let my husband turn off the lights. After getting out of bed, with sweat dripping, I stood in the shower and felt as if I had the flu. My muscles ached in my back, my legs, my arms. This is bad stuff. Please DO NOT take it...get a different prescription if you must.

I was on it intravenously for at least a week following abdominal surgery, presumably as a cautionary measure, because the hospital had had problems with with operating room and some patients had gotten staph infections, etc. Three or four days after the surgery I developed pancreatitis and became really ill. They took me off the antibiotic soon after this. I then developed a case of hives all over my body which persisted for almost 6 months, although it gradually diminished. During my recovery period I began to get severe pain in my lower legs. A year after the operation I was playing tennis and ruptures an achilles tendon, which took almost three years to heal. Now it is ok, but I have developed tendinitis in my feet. I suspect that the high doses of levaquin had something to do with this weakening of the tendons in my extremities.
