Hi, Six months ago my doctor prescribed an antibiotic containing Fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin) when I had bronchitis. Almost immediately, I suffered acute Achilles tendinitis in both legs, loss of balance, muscle weakness and nerve pains. I am keen to compare notes with anyone else who has suffered similar side effects. I am a native English speaker living in Hungary who has some Hungarian. But I am interested in talking to anyone who has had a similar experience. |

Welcome to NeuroTalk:
We've had some posters on the PN forum who have issues with this family of drugs. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum20.html And a post about it with further links you can explore: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post661103-2.html Unfortunately there is not much to do about it once this reaction happens. You need to be very careful with the tendons, as they can rupture.
