The effects of minocycline are not generalizable to other antibiotics. In fact, use of antibiotics is associated with an increased risk of depression (and probiotics with a decreased risk).
Minocycline has a strong effect in reducing microglia activation (i.e. reducing inflammation in glial cells in the brain). It is very effective at this. However, I would caution on generalizing this to other antibiotics.
