The fact your doctor could not "find" it in front of you either reflects his deception index, or incompetence index. Either way he appears incompetent and/or unhelpful.
I do take exception to the wording..."rare".... since these reactions are not "rare" at all.
Ask your pharmacy for the original insert for Avelox (they come with each bottle) and highlight it, and give to your doctor.
In fact long acting drugs tend to cause more side effects than shorter ones. Cipro for example is a twice a day dose, and Avelox and Levaquin are once a day.
