It's not: wise to stop a medication without consulting the Prescriber!! That being said Levoflloxacin allergy is not uncommon! The itching would be a common side effect the jumpiness would not! Contact your Prescriber ASAP (or whoever is "covering the practice...this is a Holiday weekend .! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
