What was the name of the antibiotic? There are some out there that can cause central nervous system side effects. Tequin is one of them -- side effects are listed here:

I'm bipolar, and my pdoc does NOT recommend my taking Tequin. He recommends Biaxin if I need an antibiotic. I also take Neurontin, which, when I first started it, made me very sleepy, and that was probably the only visible side effect I had. Now I feel nothing from it (10 months later), but I know it's working in the "background." I say this because although I have endometriosis, I no longer have menstrual cramps, and I used to be simply paralyzed for at least a day out of every month. So Neurontin seems to be working for me!
