Kevin's Story

I took Levaquin for a swollen prostate for over a month no problems.

One day I woke up with a rash on my arm. Next thing I knew I had a full blown panic attack. Burning pains... sunburn like.. shooting through my arms and legs. Blurred vision, can't deal with sunlight, ringing in the ears, face rashes, severe muscle pain and twitching all over.

Levaquin fried my nervous system. Anxiety jittery feelings lasted around 6 months. Muscle and joint pain lasted 18 months. It was a nightmare. I still have blurred vision in one eye and ringing in the ears almost 3 years now post Levaquin. Everything else went away slowly and I had many cycles of it coming and going.

This stuff is poison.
