I didn’t have anxiety but it made me numb to life I stopped caring I lost my wife my house and everything I loved. I was suicidal it was like I was in a coma to be quite honest. Now that I am awake I am in a damn nightmare

Washing hands in cold water helped the itching. If there was a different option I would NEVER EVER go for this medication. The itchiness is keeping me awake even though I feel VERY VERY sleepy.

With my latest lab results,(8-26-08),showing elevated liver enzymes and a chest x-ray showing pneumonia, I attribute my overall general malaise plus abnormal labs and pneumonia to this drug. I am awaiting the lab results from additional blood tests that will screen for possible liver damage.

A little nauseous the first time I took it but that went away, I felt a little tired in the morning but it wore off pretty fast.

Headaches, tightness in my head at the front like tension, lightheaded, anxious, irritated, head felt woozy, off balance,nauseous now and again

amnesia, unable to remember grandson and other family members but able to remember other events, people and minute details. Selective memory??

I took 500 mg tablets of Levaquin 2 weeks ago for 7 days. The infection in my elbow has disappeared after the first 3 days of treatment. I finished the medicine. My elbow has mild soreness from time to time when I lean on it. This soreness probably due to overworking it during the infection and lack of rest, but no infection has appeared and I am quite satisfied with this medicine.

Serious Allergic reaction that didn't show up until 10 days after taking the medicine.Hives, general malaise, dizzy,temperature,feelings of confusion.
