Hi
There was a big fuss in the UK some years back only a few months after Lariam / mefloquine hit the market. It was hailed as a miracle drug for malaria prophylaxis, but was found to be making people with no previous histroy of mental illness develop condtions from psychosis to panic attacks.
I have been on tetracyclines for a long time (in excess of 10 years) for acne mainly doxy and minocycline and I cant say either caused my mood to change but minocycline does make me very dizzy at times and doxycycline at higher doses 200mg per day and above caused me to get a painful prickly sensation in my skin the minute the sun came out.
