I have taken this med before and it works but I feel that I should take it for 10 - 14 days because my sinuses always contain some junk and the longer it stays up there the greater chance of another infection; also after awhile it starts to travel South and I am always coughing up yellow to yellowish/ brown gobs of phlegm. It just nerver seems to totally clear up.

I've been on this once before and it was a godsend compared to the cipro and z-pacs i had always been stuck on. I'm allergic to penicillin so my choices to treat my constant sinus infections and subsequent bronchitis are limited. So far avelox has been the most effective and i feel relief sooner than the others. In all fairness though, i may be immune to the others. I was informed by my allergist, who also works for NIH, that this is the newest cousin of 'cipro' when i told him i usually got cipro. He said cipro is outdated and avelox is the way to go for someone like me. The only side affects for me so far are sleepiness and some diziness and i'm a fairly active mid twenties female at an average weight for my height of 5'9. I'd rather deal with being a little loopy for a week or so than to continue being miserable. My dosage was/is 400mg once a day.

Nausea, dizziness, stomach pain. I am taking pro-biotics which help a little. I mentioned to my husband that I felt like what I imagine chemotheraphy might be like. Then I did research and found ...

Nausea, dizziness, stomach pain. I am taking pro-biotics which help a little. I mentioned to my husband that I felt like what I imagine chemotheraphy might be like. Then I did research and found it described on another site as a "chemotheraputic drug". No wonder I feel like crap!

I would take the medication and my face would turn flush and my body felt hot all day long. I was miserable!
