Antibiotic Levequin Making Me Sick?

Updated

Been on 500mg Levequin for 3 days now. I'm experiencing weakness, a bit of confusion, dizziness, unsteady on my feet, and droopy eyelids. Extremely tired. I also have pain behind the eyes. Dr. prescribed this for my sinus infection. I don't feel right !!! Any info would be appreciated. Thank you !

The FDA does list those as being possible side effects of this antibiotic. You may also experience nausea, headache, and diarrhea.

Has there been any change?

If they become too severe, you may need to consult your doctor about trying a different antibiotic.

Are you on any other medications?

Hi Verwon, it got so bad I had to go to the ER
Doc said all of my symptoms, especially the muscle soreness and pain. Headache, etc. Were ALL due to the Prevastatin. They kept me a day to hydrate and for observation. It was also giving me chest pain. Will never ever touch another statin! Tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar mixed with a glass of water is my Rx now. Never thought I would have such problems from a station.
