Anxiety attacks after taking Levaquin/ Claustrophobia?

My husband was diagnosed with Bacterial Pneumonia and was prescribed Levaquin. He has been off the medication for about a week and a half and he is still experiencing phobic attacks in the morning. He wakes up in a panic and believes that he cannot breath. While he was taking the drug he experienced major confusion, anxiety, depression and dizziness. It was awful! He even experienced a very bad episode when he became abusive...and delusional. Has anyone else experienced these sysmptoms while on Levaquin or even a week or so after? Please help me as I am rather frightened for my husband.
Thanks for any help or suggestions to help him. Shelley

Thank you so much for your input regarding Levaquin. I am sorry that you experienced six months worth of pain and suffering. I am glad that the effects do finally wear off. Believe me, my husband will never take this drug again. Again, thanks for taking the time to give me input.

My experience with Levaquin prescribed for a lung infection was similar. I speak as an individual, but I vowed never again to take Levaquin. Aches, pains, confusion, insomnia. It took six months for the effects to wear off. But they did eventually go away.
