The doctors do not tell you the risks associated with these medications. I had some serious illness that required the antibiotics and a disease specialist, who put me on the legaquin. What a mess....Docs. should tell folks the risks first. ginnie

Wow Ginnie -- 3 tendon ruptures? Yikes!! I figured out after using Cipro for UTIs that it makes me extreme depressed and my moods are wacky and all over the place (my DH wondered what on earth was going on). So I'm going to try to stay away from it. Yes, docs should let people know these things. The point is that there are other safer antibiotics for people to take than Levaquin and Cipro, particularly if you have a run of the mill UTI. I hope your tendons are okay now.
