For those of you that have taken levaquin what were your herxes like? I am taking levaquin 750 mg. 3 x per week with zith 500 mg.
Just finished2 weeks of levaquin IV and was on IV for almost 3 months.Couldn't afford it anymore. My herxes are the worst 2 days after the meds. extreme exhaustion along with moderate to severe bone and joint pain.
I know this good I am just wondering how long most people herx before they feel better on this. Thanks for your input.
Take care mimi

My Levaquin (500 mg/day oral w/ 4.8 mu IM Bicillin/wk) herxes have been:
continuous, building with small fluctuations severe depression flare of restless legs insomnia migrating joint pain inability to think, exercise, plan increase nervous system hyperirritability exhaustion fatigue inability to be present for my 3 year old son wanting to escape into book, magazines, computer strange feeling of hypoxia or hypoglycemia - since beginning tx for Bb and Babs 3/05, I have eaten almost no refined sugar and now I have to have it or else I feel like I'll faint - my blood pressure is normal
Today is the first "better day" I've had since starting Lev on 7/20. Two more months to go if I can hack it.
