Through the past years I have been looking for information about the quinolone antibiotics, Levaquin, Cipro and others.
I have not taken this kind of medications myself but a close friend did and I am absolutely sure that`s why he suffered psychiatric symptoms as well as extreme sesitivity to light and also had cramps/convulsions.
It`s a terrible long story which also etails other medications for instance statins.
I am surprised at how similar quinolone and statin side effects seem to be.
A few minutes ago I found a new site which might be interesting:
Google for "Death by Levaquin" and you will probably find the site I am thinking about.
If I write down the exact address it will be replaced by *****.
O passed away at an old people`s home at the age of 74. I will never forget his suffering.
The best thing you can do for yourself and the people around you is to "educate" yourself on diseases/medications and how the pharmaceutical industry is run.
Here are two books on that issue: Overdosed America (John Abramson) and The Truth About The Drug Companies (Marcia Angell).
Don“t give up.
