I really wished I had found this site yesterday morning instead of today. I was prescribed Avelox for my sinus problems and was a little unsure about taking it. I decided to take it anyway since I had not ever had any reactions to any medicine before. About 20 min. of taking the first dose I was dizzy and lightheaded, thought I was going to faint. I did manage to drive to my child's school to pick her up and had to use a room to sit down in because I couldn't breathe and my lips and face was swelling. Someone took me to the ER and they gave me steroid and benydryl. The freaky feeling has left me but my chest is still fluttering and I am feverish and have no energy. I have never felt this way in my life. I hope the side effects end soon. This stuff needs taken off the market.
