Has anybody experienced anxiety/panic attacks after taking antibiotics, Levaquin in particular? I was put on Levaquin because of a sinus infection and know I have this anxiety problems that I don’t know how to deal with; palpitations, sweaty hand, tremor just to mention a few symptoms.
I suspect the sinus infection made you more panicky, a nettipot or similar can wash out the sinuses, warm salt water goes in thru one nostril and eventually comes out thru the other, also called sinus irrigation
you could ask a pharmacist whether panic attacks are on his side effects list for the med, another possibility is a panic attack from an allergic reaction to the med
I just took Avelox, which is similar to Levaquin, and had the same thing happen. It is on the side effects listing and I did a search and lots of others have the same experience.
Sorry you had to deal with this, but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one.
Hi, My drs claim that I have an anxiety problem now. I never had one previously. I had a 30 day course of Levaquin & Entex PSE over 4 months ago for head infection & my anxiety is continuing to get worsen to the point where I can't sleep & am about to start medication for it.
