Levaquin overdose symptoms
Common Questions and Answers about Levaquin overdose symptoms
levaquin
I am only 27years and old and have been on Levaquin for two weeks now without much change. The external urethral meatus is also slightly discolored. Its more of a vibrant pink color but obviously different from the rest of my glans penis. I also notice that the tip is always kind of wet and sometimes stuck together. I believe this is from a slight clear discharge.
I have had two urine tests, both which came back negative.
I am pretty sure I just have a UTI but if for whatever I have an STD will the Levaquin that I am taking for my UTI cure chlamydia or gonorhea? I am taking 500mg for 6 days. Please help me.

I need help please. My doctors had me on Levaquin for 4 years straight. I believe it's destroyed most of my immune system. Since being off Levaquin for the past few months, I have had chronic bronchitis and pneumonia since. My muscles and body is in agony. I now have to use oxygen all the time, day and night. The recovery times from surgeries are greatly extended now. I'm having another back surgery in a few weeks.

Thank you.
His fasting sugars have been borderline above upper limits. Family history is reassuring but we will continue diet and exercise.
We thought about the lower cord/cauda equina too. But no other dermatomal affectations nor pain or sensory radiations down both or either leg.
The bilateral toe numbness began about a week into the Levaquin. His prostatitis symptoms are much improved so we'll discuss with his doc about dose reduction vs discontinuation.
Hi. I have been experiencing some really disturbing set of symptoms. I was a healthy and happy 22 year old and now feel almost crippled. I have peripheral neurpathy, horrible anxiety, deppression, nausea, weight loss. I took Levaquin for a UTI infection in November 2009 and didn't have symptoms then. I also had a susequent yeast infection. Do anybody have any idea what could be causing thIs? Thank you and God Bless.
After discovering greenish discharge in my underwear in the morning, I went to my doctor who prescribed me the usual course of 1 g of Azithromycin and 1 400 mg of Cefixime for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. At first my symptoms lessened but later returned. I waited two weeks before seeing my doctor again who prescribed me the same medication. I did test positive for Chlamydia. Again the symptoms receded but again they returned.
What do you think?? I have been assured by 2 Dr.'s that this is not gonorrhea and that the symptoms would show up within a few days if you contracted it...despite what the web sites say about asymptomatic infection. They said that it is an obvious discharge and horrible burning in a male within 2-5 days. This has no burning during urination and no discharge...just irritation at the end opening.
Is it also true that in 90% of the country Levaquin is still used for GC?
My doctor prescribed prednisone, Symbicort, and also wants to give me Levaquin. I am over 55 years old, and I also have pre-diabetes (6.0 A1C - and am on metformin), and high blood pressure being successfully treated via Benicar. Two nurse friends of mine are literally screaming at me to not take the Levaquin due to achilles muscle rupture tendencies (one is suffering personally from it at this time and has been for more than one year now).
Well, I had some issue in my ear, a little bit of pain and a feeling of fullness in right ear, may be some hearing loss as well but not sure. I went to an ENT who diagnosed that I have some infection in ear and gave Levaquin. I took it in the night and I don't remember if I slept immediately after that. Buy what I remember I woke up to a very scary morning. I felt extreme dizziness and spinning sensation. I was struggling to stand up from bed. I vomited and had nausea.
I took Tussionex for the first time at 11:00 pm after I took a Levaquin at 10:00 pm. I have bronchitis. I awoke suddenly from my sleep at 2:00 am and had no breath - and could not speak or call my husband although I was trying to say 'help'. I got my breath back after a minute or so and was pretty shaken up by this. I'm very tired but reluctant to go back to sleep if it happens again. I was pretty shaken up. Is this an allergic reaction or a side effect?
Today, still swollen, but was told it will last about a year. Now, 12 months after my doses of Levaquin, same Achilles tendon symptoms but now in my right ankle. And possibly feeling it in my right shoulder and right hip (but not sure if this is part of the Levaquin). This is awful! Feeling like suing, but can't anymore since J&J put out a blackbox warning a few years ago. However, I did not know of any side effects. Any comments or suggestions?
has anyone had bad side effects from useing aniniotics such as levaquin? i started haveing severe symptoms a few days after i started takeing them such as sore joints muscle pain dizzyness extreme fatigue an weakness..
After about four days of taking the Levaquin, my symptoms cleared. Unfortunately, in the past two days, they have returned. That means I was symptom-free for only about one week. After resuming sexual relations, my girlfriend and I have had vaginal and oral sex on numerous occasions. She, once again, has no urogenital symptoms whatsoever.
I really don't understand why my symptoms came back, unless our period of abstinence was too short.
I was given Levaquin 750mg qd for 5 days. I am almost 67 years old. Soon after the Levaquin, I developed Neuroathy in both of my feet. My neurologist was surprised, and ordered all types of diagnostic lab work to seek an answer. All labs were either wnl or negative. Do you have any suggestioons for treatment or an answer to how long this will continue to occur.
I am a retired hospital pharmacist, and the neuropathy is disableing me.
t know why he ordered Levaquin vs another ATB. Tinnitus and the being off balance are two different symptoms. One is not causing the other. Have you read the side effects from Levaquin? There are quite alot, and I believe this drug has been "black boxed" in the USA. However, I am not so sure this caused your problems or your problems are unrelated to the Levaquin.
Hi everyone...has anyone ever been on Levaquin (it's in the same class of antibiotics as Cipro)? I was on it for 5 days of my 10 when I started getting some wrist pain and they took me off it. I didn't even know it causes tendon damage.
Just wondering if anyone else had those side effects???
I think my mom was on it (IV) but didn't have any side effects. All I can say is if they want to put you on it, ask for something else unless there is no choice! Thanks!

I am now feeling pain here and there, but no idea if it's related. I didn't even know it causes tendon damage!

I believed I had epididmytitis earlier. I took levaquin. Later, I wondered if there could be any chance of contracting HIV. Anyhow, I know that the only way is to get tested, but while waiting for a good time to get tested, as it's still a bit early to get an accurate result, I'd like to ask the question in the title. I know that levaquin is for killing bacteria and that HIV is a virus. Yet, can levaquin indirectly prevent ars symptoms from showing up?
I felt the difference, too, with Levaquin. I guess the question is do your feet hurt in general, or is the pain specifically in your achilles heel? It is the tendons that are at risk from Levaquin, with achilles and arms being the two most likely places (as my PA and doc have seen in their experience). But they said any tendon pain is a sign to stop. I don't think tingling is from Levaquin. That sounds like a Lyme symptom.
Did you try Rifampin?
Had an UTI and hence was put on levaquin. After the 8th day of taking levaquin, i had the problem of not able to swallow food.. Stopped levaquin and UTI went away. Since then, i had a feeling that something is stuck in throat and particularly at nites, i was not able to sleep properly. had mylanta and prilosec and the situation got improved.. doctor recommended aciphex and currently i am on that..
