| Add Avelox review I became very jaundice nausea and severe arthritic, muscle pain Have taken once before..felt terrible, nauseous, aching. This time left leg swollen double the size, cant bend knee, back ache is terrible, and I dont think it is working at all. 5 days in of 10 prescribed and feeling pretty bad. 1st time ordered for double ear infection, worked great...second time for sinus infection, within minutes started to feel hot waves from my head to toes, optical visions like black clouds rolling across eyes, then the itching started at the top of my head and would roll down all over my body to my feet,woke up my husband and told him that I think we need to go the ER, he turned on the light and to ... The DR. only prescribed 3 pills upon taking the first one I felt much much better and I had been on other meds that did not work. Avelox worked quickly with only 3 doses and different DR. | Add Biaxin review though it seemed to address the illness prescribed for, on the 2nd night i couldn't sleep a wink, woke up to severe nausea, a weird spaced out feeling, and numb arms. a lot of the side affects i read here. i returned to the doctor and was re-prescribed regular amoxillin. seek medical attention if this happens to you. felt very strange! I've been given Biaxin XL numerous times for bronciitis, tonsilitis and sinus infections. A few times it's been given after a round of amoxicillin didn't work. Never had any reactions and the drug has always been very effective. I've always been given sample packs from my doctor's office (thank god for dispensing physicians). Recently I've been given a Rx for it and got the generic. I'm on my second day of use and no side effects compared to the name brand so far. I was prescribed Biaxin for a sinus infection 5 days ago. I have two more days to take this medicine and I still do not feel good. I still have head congestion and I am extremly sleepy. | |||
