I'm so glad you checked on it before you took it. Levaquin can cause tendon rupture too. Call your dr and get something else. Don't let him change to cipro either, its in the same family as levaquin.
Interactions between your selected drugs
trazodone ↔ levofloxacin
Applies to: trazodone, Levaquin (levofloxacin)
Talk to your doctor before using traZODone together with levofloxacin. Combining these medications can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or special monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or fast or pounding heartbeats during treatment with these medications, whether together or alone. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Take care,
Thank-you so much for your quick answer. I've decided not to take the levaquin after reading the patient info included with my prescription. I have a significant atrial fibrillation issue, and this med does not seem worth the risk. Whatever happened to good old penicillin, anyway?
You are welcome.
Be well,
I take trazadone klonepin visteral now I take leviquin. Is this safe? I only take one leviquin a day
