Levaquin (levofloxacin): I was given Levaquin for pneumonia. I now in a lot of pain in the arch of both my feet and lower back. I am being treated by my Doctor for the side effects.

Levaquin (levofloxacin): I had mild to severe coughing for several months, tried several other antibiotics and nothing worked until Lavaquin. I almost gave up. Two weeks ago went into the emergency room on Las Vegas with increased breathing and coughing problems. Blood tests, lung xrays, cat scan, oxygen, etc. etc. Two to three days after taking some prednisone, and a 10 day prescription for Levaquin all seems to have completely cleared up!!!

Levaquin (levofloxacin): This medicine is very good. It really is effective. The side effects are tolerable. I would strongly recommend that the directions are followed by the patient.

Levaquin (levofloxacin): 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): Was on this medication for 10 days. At 9 days I woke up very dizzy. The condition was better on the 10th day, however it became worse on day 11.
