"My Dr. prescribed 750 mg, 1 pill a day for 5 days. As soon as I started taking it, I had severe insomnia! I took two of the 5 pills, and while on it, didn’t sleep for 48 hours straight! Dr. didn’t believe me, wanted me to keep taking it, and I said absolutely not!"

"I was prescribed levofloxacin for 7 days for UTI, and after 3 days, the pain went away. Now, after 7 days, I still have the pain back again. I've been having a UTI that doesn't go away, so I'm back to pain again."

"Shortly after starting levofloxacin, my knees began to hurt, as well as my Achilles tendon. After a few days, I stopped taking the medication due to the pain. Three months later, the pain hadn't gone away, and that's when I read one of the side effects of this drug is knee/tendon pain. I could no longer walk without assistance and finally ended up having to go to PT and an orthopedic surgeon who gave me a shot in the knee to help. Almost a year later, I'm finally feeling relief. Avoid this medication."

"Been on levofloxacin infusion for 5 days, it pretty much helped with abdominal pain and back pain, though not fully. I'm done with the dosage, but I feel abdominal strain/pull. Hopefully, everyone will be okay."

"After 7 days, I started having bloating, low abdomen pains, and frequent urination. Still have that 5 days after finishing the course. It messed me up. I didn't have those symptoms before starting this medication."

"I'm a 24-year-old female. I've never been allergic to anything. I took Tavanic 500 three days ago. The first pill made me nauseous, then I had a panic attack. Since then, I can’t breathe properly. I have shortness of breath, I feel suffocated 24 hours. I don’t know how long it will last. I’m exhausted, and I regret taking it. Don't take it. Save yourselves."
