The third day I took the drug, the next morning my arm started acting up. It was hard to lift my arm. Took it one more day and my my other started acting that way. Then I knew I had a reaction to the drug. So I call my doctor and was told to stop taking tha drug. It is now day #7 and my arms are still acting up. I'm going to the Dr. tomorrow, hope things get better.

When I was in the hospital I was given this drug IV form for approximately 2 hours. My blood pressure dropped to 50/40. I felt dizzy and weak. The Doctors did not tell me the antibotic was causing the blood presure drop.

Had an upper chest infection. Was put on levaquin for 10 days. Cleared up the infection. Now, I have low red and white cells. Don't know if this is part of the result from it.

After three days, of a 10 day regiment, I could breath easier. My cough and sinus did not clear until the 6th/7th day. After completing the 10 days, I feel good.

Doctor subscribed this to help treat Pneumonia. Medication did cause some dizziness which lasted for about 4-6 hours. However breathing became much easier within the third day of use. Dizziness became less noticeable after 4th day of use.

Its only day 3 of a 7 day round and the 24 hrs after the first pill, I felt 95% relief from pain. The pain is virtually gone now & & if I didn't follow the rules - I could quit taking it today & think the condition to 100% effective. So I only expect to be completey healed after 7 days. There also hve been absolutely no side effects at this point.
