The infection went into my three joint replacements. Zyvox caused sleeplessness and extreme tiredness and some diarrhea. The sleeplessness was the most difficult side effect, the tiredness being a result of that as well as a side effect of the drug. Headaches were also a problem.

I couldn't take my meds for osteoarthritis, while on Zyvox, because it seemed to irritate my stomach. Zyvox allowed me to return home to my family after a 7 day stay in the hospital, where I was on Rocephin and Vencomycin, to treat MRSA. Zyvox is very expensive when you have to pay out of pocket, but it is not nearly as expensive as staying in the hospital 10 more days.

Taking drug due to infection after major oral surgery. Thank goodness for insurance drug is $1,800 for a 10 day supply. Still having issues but at least the "cure" wasn't worse than the disease.
