Hey! I am 22 years old and in november of last year I was prescribed levaquin for a UTI that was very mild. I took 2 pills for two days as my doctor instructed me to. The first day was totally fine, but when I took the second pill, that entire day seemed different. I was having heart palpitations that were rather far apart. You know… One here and there. Well that night I layed down to go to sleep and began experiencing major panic and more intense heart palpitaions. I do not have a history of either one. In fact I was completely healthy before this antibiotic. I had a panic attack so bad, my face and ears were burning and it felt as though someone were trying to suffocate me with a pillow. I ended up in the ER and all they can tell me was that I was more than likely having an anxiety attack. For days this went on and eventually I began having out of body experiences along with severe depression. I hadn’t slept for days and if I tried, I would get this electric shock feeling  that woke me up in flight or fight mode as soon as I was drifting off to sleep, so I guess I was never actually asleep. I was so desparate for sleep I ended up being prescribed ambien. It did nothing for me. I also had to be put on Lexapro for depression which I think helped a bit, but when I went in to get it…. I was crying and absolutely devistated for no reason. Once again I was desparate. I Knew that day I took that second dose of levaquin that this quinolone was doing this to me. It was the only thing I had been taking. Plus I looked it up online as soon as I felt these noticable feelings. I’m almost 8 months in and nearly recovered other than my knees aching and tmj that develpoed from clenching in my sleep. I do have a very important question though. I may be pregnant and want to know if this would harm the baby? I am 99% recovered. I don’t have too much pain in my knees and jaw as much, but even if they snapped into pieces… I would be happy as long as the mental torture never returns.
