Side effects of leviquin

I was prescribed leviquin for bronchitis and sinus infection after a prior antibiotic didn't work. I was also put on a steroid (dextremethisone) something like that. It was a 10 day treatment. The first couple doses made my heart feel like it was coming out of my chest, that passed. On day 5 or 6 I started feeling like every nerve in my body was jumping out I shook constantly and was having hallucinations even in my dreams I could hear everything around me knew I was "trying" to sleep but couldn't and couldn't wake up either. I'm having abdominal discomfort, the sensation of being outside myself, and I'm extremely disoriented. I get flushed sensations and am very fatigued I don't feel like me any more. I have also had heart burn,and my taste is completly off. I've been off of the med for 4 days now and am beginning to wonder if I'm gonna return to normal.Has any one else had any or all of these side effects???

I would never take Levaquin. The side-effects are well documented. They often last for months and are sometimes permanently debilitating. Levaquin is a fluoroqinalone, and Cipro will do the same thing without many of the problems, even though they are quite similar from a chemical standpoint.

, i go crazy, no sleep. shake in side and out , my heart beats so fast was so tired but there was no sleeping , when i finally did sleep had night terrors when i take steroids. i now only take them when it;s steroids or die. they also give me zanax and that helps. be careful and taper off the way the doctor wrote the scrip and call him or her and let them know ur side affects. good luck
