: Recently, I was sick with a kindey infection,
: and started taking the medication,
: Lavaquin. About 24 hrs later, I had one
: of the worst panic attacks EVER. The
: medication says it can cause confusion,
: mood alterations, and nausea. I haven't
: had an attack in about two years until
: recently. Do you think it was the
: medicine, or that my defenses were down
: because of sickness? Anyone ever had
: anything like this happen?
:
YES - I had a urinary infection and altho I wasn't worried about the antibiotics, the doctor gave me a pill to "ease" things a little until the other kicked in - I noticed my thoughts speeding up and tried to attribute it to something because I had him totally reassure me that it would NOT cause any panic ect. - well, he was WRONG...as soon as I quit taking them it gradually stopped. I am so fussy about anything a doctor gives me now even if they say no interactions blah blah blah - I have to say it was the most uncomfortable I've ever been. I hope this helps. Take care. Debra
