Anger at Levaquin

This is an anger infused posting.  I am prescribed Levaquin for day 7 to 14  after a chemo-treatment when the white blood cell count is low - it is supposed to help me fight any type of bacterial infection.  I had issues with it after the first chemo-treatment when it caused a lot of pain under my right rib.  Luckily since the white blood cell count was high I was able to stop the treatment.  I did have to take the drug again on Sunday and ended up with even more pain than the first go around - I had to take Percocet to help with the pain.  There is no way I should be taking an antibiotic that produces such side effects that Percocet is necessary.  I was awake every hour last night and ended up taking the Perc at 3AM.  I was so stinking frustrated and angry with that drug last night that I called the docs office and completely refused to take Levaquin anymore.  I now have another fluoroquinolone, Cipro, to take, but instead of only 1x a day I have to take the Cipro 2x.  The complication with this is that it is a metal chelator (metal binder) so I have to take it 2 hours before my MgO or 6 hours after twice a day.  URGH!  Hopefully, I won't have the same side effects!  I'm hoping for a great white blood cell count again on Thursday so I can get off the antibiotic!
