i'm glad i found this site. I had fluid in my ear drum. went to quick care and they gave me a prescription for levaquin 750mg. On the fourth day i woke up not able to close my hands. The pain and stiffness in my joints was severe. unable to hold on to anything. I also have pain in every joint in my body or it feels like it. What can i do to get this stuff out of my body? I ache all over. Need some feed back, please help if you have info on this.

Took it for 7 days (of a 14-day course) and after 4 days I was getting weaker and weaker, and developing pain and stiffness in my muscles and joints. I started sleeping excessively and felt that all of the life had been drained from me. I finally went to the doctor, and he said he'd never heard of these side-effects from Levaquin. He told me to stop the medication, which I already had, and said maybe I had PMS??? I am gradually getting better, but think I might need to take potassium supplements for a while, since I believe that the Levaquin caused low potassium - if you read the leaflet that comes with the med, you'll see that one of the warnings relates to taking Levaquin if you have a history of low potassium. I won't take this antibiotic again.
