Has anyone took this drug and any bad side effects with it? I have yeast overgrowth from taking this drug to long for strep throat!

I have taken levaquin before, but did not have any problem with it. If your body is not use to taking an antibiotic, it is pretty common to develop a yeast infection as a result. It is called a reaction to the medication. You must drink plenty of water while on any antibiotic. My advice is to call your doctor to let him/her know that you now too have an yeast infection.
