It is probably the Prednisone not the Levaquin. Side effects for Prednisone include: Difficulty sleeping; feeling of a whirling motion; increased appetite; increased sweating; indigestion; mood changes; nervousness.

Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); appetite loss; black, tarry stools; changes in menstrual periods; convulsions; depression; diarrhea; dizziness; exaggerated sense of well-being; fever; general body discomfort; headache; increased pressure in the eye; joint or muscle pain; mood swings; muscle weakness; personality changes; prolonged sore throat, cold, or fever; puffing of the face; severe nausea or vomiting; swelling of feet or legs; unusual weight gain; vomiting material that looks like coffee grounds; weakness; weight loss.

The most common side effect with Levaquin would be upset stomach.

If it continues call your MD.

What side effects are you experiencing? It is hard to tell you if it is the combination of meds if you dont tell what you are experiencing. Most likely it is not from the meds..three and a half weeks is more than enough time for the medicines to have cleared out of your system. Maybe the infection is still there and the meds didn't work? Who knows without more information?
