Damn I'm thankful for this thread, I thought I was weird but apparently not! All antibiotics drive me crazy, ESPECIALLY the quinolones they are the absolute worse.
Levaquin is the devil!! The first dose gave me sort of a panic attack, extremely un-calm and the like, gasping for air, oh god.
Had a single drop of Avelox (alone one of those quinolones) for my eye infection a couple weeks ago and almost instantly felt nuts like I had had too much Adderall or something. Threw it out
Even even amoxicillin made me go bonkers.
A couple weeks ago for my throat, nose, and eye infection I was on zithromax and became very depressed that lasted after it washed out...
antibiotics are very unstabilizing for me -- I'm bipolar and they seem to induce episodes for me that continue after the antibiotics are stopped.
i think the eye, nose, and throat infection is coming back but i'm avoiding antibiotics at all costs .. i'm always trying new meds and I just can't have that disruption this time. I want Parnate to work!!
So your doc is definitely wrong. IME GPs are very condescending to psychiatric complaints and say it's all in your treatment-needing head.
