I have never gone on Levaquin before but I have heard about nasty side effects from it! It seems that it is a dangerous drug. It can cause nerve damage, connective tissue damage...etc. Are you able to ask your doctor to change your meds? Augmentin should be fine and I have gone on it without any significant problems. Try to do searches on the medications that you are taking, cause you never know whether they will cause bad side effects till it's too late. Good luck to you! :angel:

Not true.

I had a systemic E coli infection last month. I was hospitalized and given Levequin via IV. After four days, they couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any better, and finally a culture showed the infection was resistant to Levaquin. They switched to Augmentin, which cleared it briefly. It has now come back twice. And an MRI for a brain lesion showed the infection had moved into my mastoid bone.

Since both antibiotics have not eliminated the problem, I'm wondering where they go next.
