I am being treated for bronchitis ---am 79 years old and have coped. Last Tuesday started levaquin (500 mg along with prednisone 10 mg. Stiffness and relatively mild discomfort started in legs the third day and also a mild headache. Couldn t get ahold of my dr. Today (Saturday) but doctor told me to stop taking levaquin immediately and call my doctor Monday for directions. Didn t take it today. Legs are still kindly stiff with mild discomfort and a mild headache. Can I take Tylenol for the headache?
