Re: Scared to be on Levaquin!!!

Hi Stacy. My wife and I have both taken Levaquin, with no real problems. I am allergicto/can't tolerate many meds also. Levaquin is very good for prostatitis, in addition to sinusitis. Sorry about your experience.

Re: Scared to be on Levaquin!!!

I took Avelox which is in the same family as Levaquin. I took one pill and thought I was gonna die. Horrible, horrible side effects. You couldn't pay me to take it again. Some people just can't take that family (quinolones) of antibiotics. There is another poster - Chiggins - who took one of quinolones and they too had really bad side effects.

Ditto. Exactly the same problems, and the same symptoms.
