> Just curious. Why are folks singling out minocycline as the antibiotic to take? There are lots of choices. Why that one?
The nationally-recognized psychopharmacologist who suggested I try minocycline did so because of its action on the glutamate system - totally unrelated to its antibiotic properties. I am NOT taking minocycline as an antibiotic. I take it as a psychotropic medication, and it is a very effective one for me.A 2004 article by Pae et al. (do a search on Pubmed) describes all the different ways in which minocycline could have antidepressant effect - unrelated to its antibiotic properties. This is an interesting drug.
