I went to a Med-Express for a Sinus Infection and given the choice of an Antibiotic or a round of Steroids, since the Steroids don's always work for me I went with the Antibiotic and was given Leviquin. The PA told me to take it with food because it might make me sick but did not tell me about any other side effects. I want to know why the medical community is not made to go over all possible side effects with the patients before they are given the medication? If he had told me of the HORRIBLE effects I would never have taken it. I took my first pill and two hours later I passed out, woke up with stomach pains, muscle pain that got so bad I couldn't get off the couch a few days later, it suppressed my appitite for three days, had a "fuzzy" feeling in my head, couldn't understand a lot of what was going on at times, and when I called the Med-Express back the doctor told me my muscles had started to break down! I went bake to them and switched me to Doxicyclin but I still have week knees, my arms jerk, pain in my neck and pretty much all of my muscles at any given time! I want to know why the medical community does not have to take FIVE MINUTES with a patient to go over medication?? I am now looking at a long recovery and do not have insurance to help with it. The medical community needs to be held accountable along with the drug company!!!
