Hi bleauberry,

The inflammation theory certainly makes sense, and I'm sure it's valid in some cases (yours is clear), but I can't see it as the main offender for all.

A few people on the board have been doing well by adding Minocycline to their med regimens, though its positive effects are no doubt due to more than just its anti-inflammatory properties.

I suffer from chronic asthma and allergies, and have read many articles linking depression and allergies. I take antibiotics a lot throughout the year (especially during the cold months) as I'm prone to bronchitis and sinusitis. My question is, how do you know which antibiotic is the right one to use? Do you actually feel that the antidepressant(s) treats your depressive symptoms by treating the systemic infection/disease you're suffering from?

It sounds like you've found a great doc. That's great. I hope you continue to do well.
