"Linezolid, an antibiotic used to treat drug-resistant bacteria, can cause peripheral neuropathy and optic neuropathy. These adverse effects can occur after taking linezolid for longer than the recommended 28 days. "

If you're on it question your doctor on his/her knowledge of possible side effects.. My doctor was oblivious to the more serious side effects and I'm paying the price. I was kept on Linezolid for over 100 days. I was even complaining to her about something going on with my feet. I did my own research too late, and I'm the one who stopped the med, not the doc. I am numb from the knees down...my life activities have been altered for the rest of my life. I'm considering a medical malpractice case.
