I have been on this medication for 3 months now and I have noticed my vision is getting worse by the day. I think I am also going deaf. It is very tough medication to take! I am right now weighing the decision to stop taking them.

Experienced nausea, extreme sweats, hot flashes, dizziness and a rash resembling ezema. Continued treatment for six months which concluded in negative sputum sample, but had to discontinue due to side effects.

I was on this medication for about 6 months when my vision was severely affected. I cannot drive at all. I can only read, do computer work, use my cell phone with the aid of a magnifying glass. Been off med for 7 weeks with no improvement. Scheduled to see a neuro specialist.
