On day 2, I took a 400mg pill and went to bed. I woke up two hours later feeling very light-headed/dizzy and shaky.My hands were cold and sweaty, and my legs were partially numb. The room wouldn't stop spinning. Stopped taking Avelox and will never take again.

Either Avelox will work great for you or you will have an allergic reaction to it. It worked great for me and I have not experienced any side effects. I have extremely bad seasonal allergies and cannot take any codeine or sulfa based drugs, so I was leary of taking this for fear of possibly having the horrible side effects that others have mentioned.

I have extremely bad seasonal allergies and cannot take any codeine or sulfa based drugs, so I was leary of taking this for fear of possibly having the horrible side effects that others have mentioned. I suggest doing your research and always read the information that comes with your prescription anytime you are prescribed something. Be proactive and educate yourself by asking your doctor and pharmacist questions! Just because others have had bad reactions doesnt mean that this drug should be pulled off the market. This is the second time in a year and a half I have been prescribed Avelox and it is the ONLY thing that worked. Last time I developed pnemonia AFTER taking a round of Zpak that did nothing! What works for one person wont necessarily work for everyone. Most of the strains of mutant "whatever" that have been going around recently are becoming resistant to antibiotics. With any medications if you are having any adverse symptoms stop taking it and call your doctor! That is why he or she is there.

Was perscribed this med for a sore throat which developed after a 10 day antilbiotic course to treat a sinus infection. I developed a severe skin rash, hives, shortness of breath, fainting and dizziness. Had to go to the Emergency Room.

An oral surgeon operated on my upper jaw doing a bone graft in preparation for an implant. Unfortunately, the procedure had to be undone as I developed a severe sinus infection. I am currently taking my 13 pill on a 21 day dosage and the infection appears to be gone, but I will finish the antibiotic as I definitely don't want it back.

I took Avelox for 14 days and still couldn't kick the sinus infection. I'm on another 20 day dose. I experienced NO side effects. Mad that I can't exercise.
