User Reviews for Levofloxacin

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Bronchitis: I don't like Levaquin at all. The doctor prescribed this to me after going in for acute sinusitus and bronchitis. He said it was a strong medication. The first night I woke up suddenly with a massive headache, and then heartburn. The next day I noticed more problems which made me feel even worse than my original ailments. I had cold sweats, felt nervous, anxious and like I was losing my mind! I couldn't sleep.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: I was perscribed Levaquin for a sinus infection. I had nausea and vomitting, and could not sleep at night. I also was itchy all over.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Bronchitis: I Have been taking Levaquin for 3 days for bronchitis. Having difficulty sleeping and have no appetite, along with headache and a persistent fever. Pharmacist never told me to take the medicine with a full 8 oz glass of water. Might have been good to know. So far, still have bronchitis, coughing up mucus and needing an inhaler. I have never used an antibiotic that after 3 days I remain ill. Jury is out however, as I may be better...soon I hope.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: Levaquin was prescribed for a sinus infection. I had the same problem with sleeping the other two people had. No sleep at night for 2 days.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: I've been taking levaquin for a sinus infection. I am on only my second dose, but yesterday after taking my first dose I felt immediate results. Much less nasal discharge than in the days and even hours prior. I had no problems with sleep, in fact that night was the first time I slept through the entire night in weeks, without even waking up to go to the bathroom.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: My doctor always prescribes Levaquin for bad sinus infections and congestion because of my many drug allergies. I LOVE Levaquin. Within hours of the first dose all of the mucus in my head and/or chest starts to make a mass exodus. At times, the volume and swiftness that it drains can choke you -- but this medicine works and it works FAST. It's made me cough so hard I gag, but all of my coughs are super productive, if not overly so. I recommend this to anyone wanting to get better and back in the saddle at warp speed.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: Was prescribed levaquin 750mg/5 day dose on June 22, 2009. First week no bad symptoms except for insomnia and nightmares. It did knock out sinus infection temporarily (10 days) but then sinusitis returned. It wasn't until week 3 after using this drug that I started noticing joint pain in elbows, knees, shoulders and lower back. It's November now and things haven't improved. Along with tendinitis symptoms I've also loss muscle strength in calf's, biceps and will experience burning in hamstrings after doing simple things like cutting my lawn. I hope this goes away or somebody offers a remedy to counter these effects.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: I have a sinus infection that hasn't responded to any other treatments and I had decided to ignore it but 3 months have passed and it's gotten into my chest too. I was put on a Bacitrin and that did nothing so the Dr put me on Levaquin and thus far, I can say i haven't had any issues with sleep, I actually fell asleep watching TV last night and slept fairly well considering I have a ton of coughing congestion in my chest and that awful sinus discharge-we'll see how the rest goes/if it works.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Bladder Infection: Within 24 hours of beginning the medication my urinary tract pain was noticeably better. I had lots of anxiousness & trouble sleeping though. This could be because I took the medication about 1 hour before dinner every night. Thanks for the helpful site.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: After 10 days on Levaquin, my sinusitis is better but the side effects are killing me. My mouth is so dry and I'm having horrendous dreams that are so vivid and disturbing. I can't wait for the cycle to be over.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Pneumonia: I've been given this medicine twice - once for serious bronchitis/pneumonia that nearly required hospitialization. Since I am a well trained athlete, hospitalization for a lung infection was serious. Doctors tried several other drugs before the Levaquin, but Levaquin was best. Now dealing with a relatively minor bronchitis and have it again. I've never had any of the side effects others listed - bear in mind that weakness and headaches and many other symptoms might just be the progression of the disease and not due to the drug. It's hard to tell since each bout is different but compared to many other drugs, this is statistically a very good bet. If you have bronchitis or a respiratory infection, take your medicines with lots of fluids.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: Have had a serious sinus infection for 5 years now. It's been getting better, but it flares up every few months. 10 days ago, on the last flare up, the doctor prescribed 10 days of Levaquin. On the first day I experienced strange dreams/nightmares, but I stuck with it. My sinuses haven't been this clear since before the initial infection, even though other antibiotics were tried and failed. The real test will be weeks or months after I'm done with this dose. For now, Levaquin is the best thing I've taken for these sinus problems. Within 48 hours, my sinuses felt clear again, and now I'm starting to feel normal - for the first time in 5 years.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: I was given levaquin for a sinus infection and bronchitis. After first dose the sinus pressure was gone and after the third dose the chest congestion was breaking up. I am on the fourth day now and feel much better than I did five days ago. I was also told to take Musenex. Next time I wont wait two weeks before going to the doctor. The only side effect I have is the itching all over, but that is much better than not being able to breath.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: I have been on it for 5 days for a lung infection, after not being able to breath and being on a inhaler, the Levaquin has made me breath with out the use of the inhaler and I have no longer have the wheezing sound at night when I lay down

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: I was prescribed Levaquin for acute sinusitis and I had a horrible experience after only the first dose. My arms, hands and ankles were tingling and my knees hurt. I got extremely cold and was shaking uncontrollably. It was then I read the 10 page 'black label warnings' that the pharmacist gave me. This drug will do severe damage to your tendons and after only one dose, I was feeling the effects. My joints kepts popping non-stop with everything I did - walk, type, etc. My joints ached as well. My DR immediately switched me to another drug. The literature claims people can blow out their tendons rather easily, even months after taking the medicine. Not worth the risk of future joint damage when there are other drugs out there.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Prostatitis: I took this a few years ago for prostatitis and after 1 pill I got hives on my lip. I took it again the second day and got more hives on my lip so I discontinued it. I forgot about it and for some reason saved the prescription. Anyway, I got prostatitis again and forgot about the hives, so I just took one this morning and within an hour I had a big hive on my lip. It has been a little over 2 hours now and it is begining to go away. I am not allergic to any other medication I have ever taken.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Bronchitis: This medicine has really helped me. I've been drinking lots of water anyway, and the Dr. also gave me Mucinex and Tessalon to help with productive coughing. Thank God for modern medicine.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: Day five of the medication and it appears to be healing my "chronic" sinus infection. Have much of the same mild side effects such as diarrhea, restlessness and dizziness. After a round of amoxicillin and a round of Augmentin to no avail, I feel I am geting the treatment that is necessary.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Sinusitis: Have suffered sinus infections for years, particularly in Spring and early Summer. This is the only antibiotic that really works for me. Initially the doctors prescribed weaker antibiotics. I have never noticed any side effects whatsoever. Great drug. I have four friends who take it for sinus infections and they also swear by it. No problems whatsoever.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) for Otitis Media: This was given to me for a killer middle ear infection... have a terrible time sleeping,anxious and my knees hurt like I'm 100 years old ( I'm 35! ). Thank God, only 4 days left! But definitely helped with the ear infection.
