Hi. I have heard of people commiting suicide from these fluroquinolones. I am glad you stopped taking the medication. You were very smart to listen to your body. If I had done that I wouldn't have had to endure these last few extremely painful months. Good luck to you and hopefully you will be better soon. Some helpful websites: fqvictims.org, fqresearch.org, fluoroquinolones.org, noquinolones.proboards58.com/index.cgi. Also support groups on yahoo health forums.
One more point, thousands of us have filed medwatch reports to the FDA. However, it seems that they are just being tossed to the side as nothing has been done to get this extremely dangerous drug off the market. But, please take the time to file a report by going to the fda's website. They can't continue to neglect these reports if they keep getting them.
