Doctor prescribed Avelox for Sinusitis. After the first 400 mg dose I had severe nausea, and later developed a severe headache, which I did not initially associate with the medication. It felt like a swelling of my right lobule, unlike the Sinusitis symptoms I had before. The second day on Avelox, the same side effects became more severe and included dizziness.

It felt like a swelling of my right lobule, unlike the Sinusitis symptoms I had before. The second day on Avelox, the same side effects became more severe and included dizziness. I went back to the doctor and changed the antibiotic, however the headache associated to Avelox lasted more than 30 hours, making any improvements in my Sinus condition almost irrelevant. I do not recommend Avelox as a first option for anyone, and would urge patients to discontinue treatment immediately if they experience similar side effects.

I am on day 2 and all of my infection symptoms are gone. I am taking avelox and prednisone. I just developed facial rash and have had difficulty sleeping. Not sure which drug is causing this. Will monitor and may need to go off one or the other.

With that said, my CNS was compromised along with my brain, my muscular skeletal system and my kidneys. I experienced severe insomnia with nightmares and still have issues with my sleep. I was unable to complete sentences and walk earlier on. While I am much better today, I still have pain especially in my back and hips, along with various joints. I was a very healthy and athletic woman and am hopeful and determined to have my health fully restored.

Avelox has been very hard on me... I have taken it a number of times for sinus problems. The side effects include itching, eye sight issues, and tendon problems. I would not recommend this drug to everyone. Read the side effects before taking it... I think it should only be used as a last resort.
