Re: Terrible Levaquin Reaction... Please Help

Stephen,
I know how you feel. I was just given Cipro ( the same family of Antibiotics ) and after 2 days taking them, i awoke to a jolt in my body and my heart racing, electrical currents going down my arms, and a general feeling of dying.. This was on April 2. Since i have been to the ER 6 times and all my tests came back negative.. perfect shape but the medical field is trying to say i have anxiety and put me on med's.. the med's make it worse! I have maybe 1 hour every couple days where i feel great.. otherwise my vision has changed, i have the extreme mental fog, neck and head pressure, trembling, sporadic pains day to day. I was carrying my 6 mo old daughter one day and almost dropped her because i had lost feeling in my arm. No-one believes it is from this medication. It is now May 18th and i am still having major muscle weakness, heart palpitations, vivid nightmares that wake me up with my heart racing, depression. It is so scary.. From reading everything online, it makes me more anxious that there is nothing you can do but wait it out.
I was wondering since it has been a couple months, how you were feeling. did some of the brain fog, anxiety, muscle aches go away??
Just wanted to get some hope..
