Leviquin

Anyone ever taken it? Anything odd happen?
I got my new Rx for my boob yesterday. It was Levaquin. Ok, so I took one about 11pm last night. Around 3 Dalton woke up crying and saying Mommy. Well it took me a few minutes to even realize he was talking to me. Finally I did figure it out. I felt like I was in a fog. I knew he was my son, Dalton, but I was just extremely confused. I knew something was wrong. I woke Michael up and he said I was just sleepy. I told him I KNOW Im not just sleepy. I never do this. My Mom just had a stroke, so the confusion just scared the crap out of me. I was burning hot on the inside. As if I was boiling, but my temp was fine. I was sweating horribly and freezing at the same time. I vomited. My heart was racing fast enough to bust out of my chest. Like I had drank 10 cups of coffee. I just kept telling Michael something wasnt right. He got up and got me a wet rag to put on my head. It was killing me. My head was pounding. I could feel an anxiety attack coming on. My face was going numb, etc. I hadnt had an anxiety attack since 99. I didnt end up having one, and did eventually fall back to sleep around 4:30. But I told Michael to check on me when he woke up to make sure I was ok.
I wont be taking any more of these, but has anyone else had this happen?

Call both your dr. and pharmacist and tell them what happened to you. Your dr. may change to another antibiotic and you can probably get your money back for the unused pills; I know it’s an expensive drug and it sounds like you really still need an antibiotic.
Frankly, I don’t like Levaquin in the least; both my mother and I had problems with it–not like yours, but other things.

Wow hon, what the hell? That was scary even to READ!!!! Time to call the Pharm D and the MD - figure out what the hell was up with that.
That was way way too scary. There will be something else they can prescribe I’m sure….
Sorry hon.

I took it once and I don’t remember any side effects
Sorry you are having so much trouble!!! Hope you get on the right track soon.
Please pray for me…the insurance company stopped my physical therapy and Lord knows I am supposed to have 25+ sessions and I have only had 5. If my arm freezes up I have to have surgery all over again!!!
Keep us posted on your progress!!
Hugs,
