"The first two days of taking Avelox were the worst for me; terrible headache and weakness. On the third day, the headache was not as severe. I ended up having an upset stomach for the entire ten days. However, I can breathe better, but I did look forward to taking that last pill."

"Was put on a 7-day course and was instantly dizzy, extreme dizziness that made it feel like the floor was moving when walking. It does work fast, though, but the dizziness and anxiety almost makes it unbearable."

"I'm on my 11th day (out of 20 days) taking Avelox, and it works. Besides having a headache and shortness of breath, everything seems to be working great. After 10 days of taking it, my pneumonia was 75% better."

"I asked my doctor for Avelox for my pneumonia, but she told me that I cannot take it (I had it before with a doc that didn't warn me that I can't take it) because I have hypothyroidism and am on thyroxine. I wondered why, so I looked it up. It keeps your body from properly taking on the thyroxine. You end up with hair loss, itching, etc. (all the hypothyroid problems). I'm upset because it worked so well for me in the past for chest infection. So back to double doses of amoxicillin (makes me sick) three times per day."

"I am on Day 2 with Avelox for pneumonia. The worst side effect for me is the nausea. It hits hard and fast. I do feel a difference in my breathing, but my stomach is so riled up now that it is difficult to even move. So far, no other side effects."

"I felt much, much better after taking Avelox for 5 days. I did not notice any side effects with it. Three days after I stopped taking it, my symptoms came back, and I think my doctor should've had me take it for 10 days, not 5 like she did."

"This drug definitely saved my life! I began to see changes to my severe pneumonia condition after the third tablet with minimal side effects. Course completed: 10 tablets (one per day) Avelox (Moksifloksacine 400mg). Aftereffects: I continued to have a wheezing sound coming from my lungs for months afterward, even though I completed the course as instructed. Perhaps this was due to a secondary infection?"

"I just finished taking this after a 6-day period for pneumonia. It was all fine, except for the restless leg syndrome at night, but that I could handle with an iron pill. The last day I took it, I woke up in the middle of the night with severe itching. I took a shower, changed my bed sheets, used lotion and topical creams. I took 2 Benadryl, and nothing worked! The only good thing is my symptoms dissipated after a couple of days!"

"It was a very effective drug, however, the side effects listed made it a bit scary to take, but it all worked out in the end."

"The side effects are very strong for me while taking this, however, I don't ever remember breathing this well. I feel like there are parts of my lungs that haven't seen air in years."

"Wow! I should not be surprised after all, I did pray for fast relief from the miserable symptoms I had. I hate to think that someone will have to do without because they could not afford this med."

"I have taken this medication many times for pneumonia and bronchitis infections. While it appears to work well, I am concerned about building resistance to this medication."

"Avelox is one of the most powerful drugs I've ever taken. A lot of side effects, but meanwhile, the most effective drug."
