My father was recently prescribed levofloxacin for a sinus infection. He is 81 years old and has diabetes. He has now been off the drug for over three weeks but is still experiencing weakness and confusion. He did not have these problems before taking this medication. Is there a possibility he could still be having a reaction this long after he stopped taking the drug? ## That would be very unusual, it usually only takes a week, or so for things to return to normal, once someone finishes their course of treatment, according to NIH reports, as well as my own experience taking antibiotics. The typical side effects as listed by the FDA as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Is he on any other medications? Have you consulted his doctor?

So i want to do MDMA for the weekened. My doctor has prescribed me Levofloxacin for 10 days for chronic prostatitis, which i intend to use 3-5 days after MDMA use. Dose of mdma will be about 0,7 grams over the course of 3 days. I'm not a regural user, last time i used was 1 year ago. I would like to know if i shouldnt use MDMA at all, due to interactions with the drug, or because my immune system will be weakened. Generally i am in good health except from my prostatitis. Thanks ## Don't MDMA can kill you. Seriously! mdma killed a friend of mine, a truck full of mdma ran over him.
