I've had 4 back to back sinus infections - doctor prescribed avelox for #3 and #4.
I had severe anxiety and depression on Day 7 with the avelox, thought it was the singulair, stopped taking the singulair.
On #4 sinus infection dr prescribed the avelox for 14 days, on day 7 i was severely depressed and anxiety ridden and severe thoughts of killing myself, then looked up avelox and saw the side effects.
Doctor prescribed cipro saying it was not a quinone - same effects, even worse anxiety and depression.
I'm off the avelox and the cipro, now waiting to go to an ent in two weeks and on self prescribed zithromax to get over the sinus infection because the doctor won't prescribe anything
