Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 The same thing happened to me and countless other people. I've just got it on my chart as a medicine I'm allergic too. I warn everyone against it. A Dr. even tried to prescribe it to my 9 year old and its not even for kids! She already has back problems, so that would have been a tragedy waiting to happen. Sorry and Donpat and whomever else has had to endure this. One of my best friends pain ALL started with Leviquin, its nasty stuff, especially when there are tried and true older antibiotics that work just as well. Caitlin OH mY Gddd! I knew it. It was after I took Levaquin for a respiratory infection that my tendon problems began. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Agreed. It made me so sick and gave several people I know chronic tendon issues. Scary stuff! Anne in tx. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 All: They like to prescribe Levaquin because it is a broad spectrum antiobiotic, but there are others as they say and if you do not want to take it, have it put on your chart. Do not give Levaquin. You do not need to give a reason. Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I don't like that either. It never quite takes all the infection away. I always ask for good ole amoxycillan.
