Unfortunately Avelox is not a mild antibiotic. It is similar to levquin, a fluoroquinolone. Many members have reported very negative symptoms form this class of antibiotics and some have claimed their CFS/ME started with use of this class of antibiotics. I would strongly consider asking your doctor to switch to a different class of antibiotic since there isn't a culture which says this is the only antibiotic that should work.
Hi Erin,I was very surprised to find out this antibiotic had fluoroquinolone. I go to such measures, never use a florine tooth paste, I used borax last year for 3 months etc. Now I'm given the fluorine in medicine! No wonder I'm suicidal.
The worst effect is depression. I never suffered from it. It feels very chemical, not at all related to emotions etc. It appears roughly 1 hour after I take the medicine. Stays for 1-2 hours then a huge emptiness I mean energywise. Then I take some CBD oil and lie down I'm fine after 2 more hours. I feel it's all gone. I had a lot of nausea in the beginning but that disappeared. Maybe this was the pneumonia not the medicine.
I don't know what to do, its weekend now, I don't think I can call the dr. Besides I'm in a different city now. I was staying at mum's when pneumonia started. Its public holiday on monday and Tuesday is the last dose.
Should I stop avelox? I have no means to get another antibiotic at weekend unless I go to A&E. Which I hate. Or should I just bite the bullet and finish the course.
