Avelox and waves

On 7-1-08, I went to the doctor for ETD(tubes blocked) and a Sinus infection. The doctor prescribed Avelox for my symptoms. I began taking this in the evening and by the following morning I developed mild stomach pains. I went through the day in discomfort but did not think that I needed to go back to the doctor. By the evening (2nd pill) the pain in my stomach increased 10 fold. The pain would come in waves about every minute. It felt as if someone was sticking a knife in my stomach.

This continued through the night and into the morning. At 8am, on th 3rd, I was back in my doctors office to see what was going on. They told me to stop taking the Avelox and put me on a different medication. I then went and spoke with the pharmacist who suggested that I try some over the counter gas relief medicine. I took the gas relief medication and it decreased the pain to a mild stomach ache.

It is now the 7-5-08 and the mild stomach pains are still here. I thought about going to the E.R. to have blood work done to see if there is some sort of medication that can counter-act the Avelox. I will wait one more day. I will never take this medication again.

OMG all I can say is that I started taking it 3 days ago and decided to Google it because I realized I've been extra emotional lately. I start crying for no reason and no there's not a single way in hell I could be pregnant. Also, today I dropped these papers at work. Not significant, but I'd focus on them, pick them up and they'd still slip through my hands. This happened 3 times and was quite frustrating. Furthermore, I've been having these outer body sensations, like I see the street but it just kinda waves at me and makes it difficult to drive. I'm so glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. I'm on it for 5 days. Should I continue or do y'all know of an equally-effective alternative?
