For Skin and Structure Infection "I was admitted to the hospital with cellulitis on my foot, caused by a fungal infection that got bacterially infected. Spent four days in the hospital on IV antibiotics and after seeing progress on my cellulitis, I was switched to oral Linezolid 600 mg 2x a day for 10 days (was told that sulfa antibiotics would have been a typical treatment but I have an allergy to them). My cellulitis continued to clear and was gone and old skin had peeled away by day 5. I didn’t feel great taking the Linezolid: my heart rate was elevated, I had little appetite and lost some weight, and in general just felt low energy and crummy on it. The hardest thing for me was following a low tyramine diet. I finished my treatment three days ago and am looking forward to eating a normal diet in another 10 days. Overall though, I am thrilled that the Linezolid seems to have worked and allowed me to come home from the hospital without IV antibiotics!"

Linezolid for Skin and Structure Infection "I had the MRSA virus in my thigh, and it was the size of an enlarged grapefruit, and nothing was working. My doctors gave me 4 doses of IV Zyvox, and I was discharged in under a week."

For Bacterial Infection "This drug linezolid works great. Was given the generic version after multiple treatment failures. I thought it would work faster than it did. Took about the full 10-day course to feel the difference. Side effects: tired, very especially at peak serum. Try to take a nap after you take your daytime pill, like an hour after, and take the PM pill just before bed. Stool got soft, but nothing runny. No aches, no neuropathy, nothing scary. Great med!"
