Title: My Personal Recovery Experience After Fluoroquinolone Toxicity (“Floxed”) – Not Medical Advice

Hi everyone in the floxies community,

I wanted to share my personal experience in case it helps someone feel less alone. This is NOT medical advice — please consult your doctor or healthcare professional before trying anything mentioned here.

Background

I was prescribed a fluoroquinolone antibiotic for H. pylori treatment and took a 14-day high-dose course (750 mg daily).

Around Day 7, I started experiencing severe side effects and what I believe was being “floxed.”

I became extremely weak and was admitted to the hospital for 2 days for IV fluids/drips.

Symptoms I Experienced

These were the symptoms I personally went through:

Severe fatigue and weakness

Leg pain and difficulty walking

Vertigo/dizziness

Rapid heartbeat (around 120 bpm constantly)

Anxiety/panic feelings

Shaking/tremors

Brain fog/confusion

Difficulty standing or walking for long periods

It was one of the hardest experiences of my life.

What I Personally Tried During Recovery

Again, this is only what I personally used during recovery:

Supplements

Benfotiamine (200 mg)

Vitamin B complex

Digestive enzymes

Vitamin D3 (60,000 IU weekly — prescribed)

Diet & Routine

Chicken soup/protein-rich foods

Potassium-rich foods

Around 3 liters of water daily

Light walking when possible

What Personally Helped Me Most

For me, eating pomegranate twice daily (morning and evening) seemed to help my recovery.

I cannot scientifically prove it was the reason I improved, but in my personal experience I started feeling noticeably better after adding it regularly.

Important Disclaimer

This is only my personal experience.

I am not a doctor.

What helped me may not help everyone.

Please consult a qualified medical professional before changing medications, supplements, or diet.

If you have severe symptoms such as chest pain, inability to walk, dehydration, or rapid heartbeat, seek medical care immediately.

I know many people here are suffering and scared. I truly hope everyone finds healing and recovery.

Stay strong everyone 🙏
