Gus's Story
| developed symptoms by waves over a full year of taking floxin. many doctor visits later through some research on the internet I connected these symptoms to Floxins. When my prescription was switched to levaquin, recently, my symptoms became worse rapidly. The most frustrating part of this is the many doctor visits/unpleasant tests and the feeling that I am not taken seriously. This lead to some depression and apathy. To this date I don't know for sure how many (if any) of my symptoms are truly related to Floxin. |
