Hi
I've been on 2 courses (3 mths each) of levaquin but each time i stop it my neuro symotoms all seem to worsen.

How long has anyne else found they've needed levaquin for? do i just need to keep taking it???

Thanks,
Liz

My daughter did 4 IV infusions of levaquin, but had to discontinue because of tendon pain.

Amazingly it seemed to boost her recovery in a lasting way.

I am not sure about how long to take, but from what I read it seems keeping an eye out for possible side effect of tendon damage is main thing.

Our lyme specialist told us they had given levaquin to over 400 patients with 2 patients experiencing difficulty that passed with discontinuation of that med.

Best Wishes,

Char

Thanks for reply Char - i'm sorry your daughter had tendon pain whilst on levaquin

i fortunately dont seem to have suffered from that - it has only helped me but whenever i stop it all my neuro symptoms worsen.
