I am taking it now. I started taking it in July and will probably take it for 3 - 4 months.

My LLMD warned me about the tendon problems. He says they are rare but to be aware of the potential.

He said it is the best treatment for bart.

I took Levaquin for three months for bartonella. I experienced no problems. I purchased a generic form from a Canadian pharmacy, to help cut down the cost.

I'm taking it. I notice some sore tendons (legs) after I exercise but it's not too bad. You have to watch it. Load up on Mag. Don't push to the point of rupture obviously. Tendons will tighten up again once its discontinued...
