Pls comment re: the potential adverse side effects (ADRs) of fluoroquinolone antibiotics including levofloxacin ("levaquin"). Merely having Ingested two, repeat, two levaquin pills (out of a total five-pill script) took a one-year bite out of my life and nearly killed me. I am met with "blank" or disparaging looks each time I raise before medical personnel my levaquin ADRs. The reluctance with which medical staff repeatedly have regarded my horror story re: the use of fluoroquinolones (and similar stories by other levaquin prescription-drug consumers with whom I have collaborated on-line) has lowered to "near-zero" my faith in the medical profession particularly in re: to the "benevolence" of the pharmaceutical industry. Your comments, pls!
