Had very slight macular degeneration in one eye and after taking levofloxacin for only five days the degeneration increased rapidly squiggley lines etc. Can this progression be reversed or stopped at this point? Terrible drug don't know why Dr.s prescribe it when they don't seem to know the side effects can be devastating.

It has been since the beginning of March since I took the Levaquin, and my left shoulder may have a tear and some other joints pop. I will see an orthopedic doc soon. Apparently there is mild muscle pain which is okay but more severe can cause damage.

I too was prescribed levaquin but for 20 days. I had to just go to a orthopedic dr they are afraid I am going to rupture my knee. I have pain in many joints and soreness as well as other problems. Never taking again.

I took it for 9 days, I didn't take the 10th pill, because I was having severe muscle pain in my arms and shoulders and my bones would crack in my shoulders. I couldn't lift my left arm without pretty severe pain. Also, my knees hurt. I stopped it a day and a half ago, feeling a bit better, I hope it hasn't caused damage!

No Its a common side effect and it lets you know that the medicine is working. I have had the same response the last time I took this drug & I am cured from my illness. No worries.

I was prescribed 10 tablets 500mg each for a broncial infection, 1 tablet daily. After taking 4 tablets, I experienced severe axiety attacks or panic attacks. I stopped and went back to my doctor who told me to finish them. After taking another for 2 days, ( 2 more), it started over again, only more severe than before. I stopped for good.

According to the FDA, “Levofloxacin is excreted largely as unchanged drug in the urine. The mean terminal plasma elimination half-life of levofloxacin ranges from approximately 6 to 8 hours following single or multiple doses of levofloxacin given orally or intravenously."
