hello everyone..

im a little bit confused.. i really am.

i take levaquin since 4 Weeks..

1st week i took bactrim DS+Levaquin+Minocyclin+Artemisin .. on day 5 i had such herx that i had to stop.

2. and 3. week i took levaquin mono..

4. week i took levaquin and 2x bactrim ds a day.

My brain is really confused. it scares me a little bit.. i feel like.. i dont know a little bit drunk?!

someone else had such sideeffects/herx?

when i was on factive.. i didnt had such side effects.. its a fluorchinolon too.

since i take levaquin i have headaches especially in front of my head.. which bug could this be?? my neck is not hurting ... my body is fine, have no problems at all.. only a little bit muscle pain since taking levaquin. my worst symptom is my brain fog... i dont know if to stop levaquin or to go on :/

Sorry I can't answer that... but am responding to bring your post up.

Hope you can get answers from your doctor though... especially for something this tailored and complex.

Check with you doctor!!!

Some patients with dr's approval will back off the meds a bit when it gets too rough.

I used to stop the medications for a day or two and then go back on. Just my personal approach.
