As long as we are doing Levaquin effects, here are the ones that I've had which I believe were caused by 3 Levaquin (and 1 Cipro) tablets. I took them in early June, 1999. Lingering means I still suffer from this, short term means that the symptom has apparently disappeared (although some lasted months). -- joint pain (short term) -- rotator cuff tendonitis (lingering) -- blurred vision in my left eye (lingering) -- incredible sensitivity to light in my left eye (short term) -- anxiety (I suffered from some GAD already, got worse on Levaquin, now better) -- depression (the only bout of depression in my life -- I'm 43) -- dizziness (lingering) -- insomnia (short term) -- stomach pain (short term) -- intestinal upset (lingering) -- fatigue (lingering, but improving) By the way, the label for Levaquin clearly states "taste perversion" as "likely to be drug related in patients receiving [Levaquin]". Ask your doctor to read the label. If you believe an alteration in taste was cause by Levaquin, you've stopped taking it, right? |
