Call doctor now: It's likely that you're experiencing side effects from this antibiotic. Levaquin or levofloxacin is well known to have adverse neuropsychiatric side effects -just like you describe. In those of older age, and/or with decreased kidney function, SEs are more likely. The 'benefit' vs. 'risk' of treatment needs review -in you're case something needs to be done NOW. A phone call is the fastest way...
