First, thank's for all the wonderful responses!!:-).

I'm sure most of you already know about my experience with Cipro and Levaquin from when I posted awhile back so I'll cut to the chase here.

After being treated for prostatitis for a month with Cipro and Cipro XR and then another whole month with Levaquin, I am left with sharp aches and pains that breifly come and go throughout my entire body at various times during the day as well as HORRIBLE, debillitating anxiety.

I suffered terribly for a week before I thought back to my last few experiences with Quinolones and remembered that I went through this EXACT same thing the last few times where I would finish the last of my Cipro/Levaquin and then within 3-5 days I'd get this little sore throat for a few days followed by debilitating anxiety that just would'nt let up.

I should tell you that I already suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, depression, etc but these particular attacks seem to occur consistantly every time I take Quinolones for a month or so and then go off of them. I guess I'd just be interested to hear if anyone else sees a connection here or if I'm just losing my mind.

I'm currently taking Xanax, and just today, Vistaril and plan to try some Lexapro if this does'nt let up. The last time I came off of Quinolones, my anxiety got so bad I thought for sure I was going mad and ended up in the ER every day for nearly a week - that's HOW BAD it got.

Hope to hear from as many of you as possible regarding this. Thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS:-)
