Has anyone been on Linezolid for MAC?

My experience with Linezolid is irreversible neuropathy!! Don't take the chance. I was on it for over 100 days and even complaining to my ID doc that something was going on with my feet. It's partly my fault for not doing my own research sooner, but the doc should have been aware of the devastating side effects of this drug. I made the call to stop taking it but too late. I'm considering seeing a medical malpractice lawyer since I'll be a cripple for the rest of my life. I am numb from my knees down. Any experience with medical malpractice lawyers out there? Google "Linezolid and neuropathy."

@mpowers501 I am so sorry to hear about your experience! My doctor's office called today and apparently he has me starting Nuzyra and not Linezolid. That's another one I don't recall reading about on this sight. I miss my old id doctor, I always left his office with a clear understanding of where we were going. This one talked about so many things, I left feeling totally confused.

I started lenazolid in January 3 days a week. So far so good but you have to watch for certain foods. This another subject but does anyone have dry mouth
