antibiotics and depression

I have had bad anxiety and depression as well recently which may have caused my appetite to go down drastically but when it comes back I start to eat a lot and it doesn't seem like I can gain weight like I used too. Does anyone know if antibiotics can do this because maybe it killed all the good bacteria in my stomach and now I am no longer absorbing good nutrients from what I eat? If this is so, will the good bacteria grow back eventually?

and I never thought I would ever take antibiotics again until I had tonsillitis and I told my doctor that antibiotics made me very sick. He suggested this probiotic with penicillin and I didn't experience the same symptoms over again and for that I am thankful. You can easily find this probiotic vitaminized.

I've suffering from a bad yeast infection and I was wondering if depression and anxiety which I suffer from is a factor that lowers the immune system?

Has anyone else experienced depression and anxiety from taking Doxycycline? If so, did you recover? And how long did it take you to get better?

ish but as soon as I sit in the car [passenger or driving] I start feeling worsening of symptoms - pain/nausea/depression/light headed !! I am not and never have been nervous/anxious about driving [I used to be a courier driver] - any thoughts?

After listing my symptoms, and noting that dizziness and rather severe and uncharacteristic anxiety/depression are the most unsettling ones, he was also skeptical that a sinus infection could really do all of that, although he stressed that any massive infection can have deleterious effects on mental and emotional well-being.

t getting any better with antibiotics. I sank into horrible depression and put on tons of weight. Its a very trapping feeling. Find yourself some hobbies you can do that you can work no matter if you have a flare up or not..maybe try something that you have always wanted from home...learn new recipes or take up knitting or painting or something of the sort...pick up hobby books..it helps to have something to focus on. Best wishes to you!

What about just not trying to link the two right now though (are the spots any better?) and going ahead and seeking intervention for the depression and anxiety? From this and yoru other post, this seems pretty plausible you suffer from this and there is help out there. Doctors are a good place to start. They can help you determine what next step to take.

Which is associated with depression and other psychiatric disorders. It prevents adequate neurotransmitters in the brain for serotonin. My son is being prescribed a prescription supplement that may help. I had never heard of this before and so read a lot about it. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2682787/ and https://www.mhanational.

you had either a common reaction to antibiotics, or the antibiotics have killed off your beneficial organisms. Most people and doctors know these beneficial organisms for their positive effects on the immune system and digestion, and that's why the medical community has finally decided to limit their use, but these organisms also affect mental health and the production of B vitamins, vital for proper nerve function. You may have had a major die-off.

Well, sounds just like me. I could have swore I was about to die at any moment for the past year as I thought I had everything from cancer to anything else you can think of. A lot of the hypochondria is a symptom of depression. I'm bipolar I, and when I get depression, well, I'm dying!

Well I have discussed them and all other possible reasons have been ruled out. Depression, fybromialgya, etc. etc. Since there is a lack of neurological medical tests that can be done in the area where I live, I pointed my question to you, but still, thank you.

She had prescribed 4 pink oval pills of Azithromycin 250mg and I took them all at once like I was supposed to. My question is that with my obsessive thinking and severe depression and anxiety, especially over this, can I still smoke medical marajuana after having taken the antibiotics? Before the antibiotics I was/am a regular medical marajuana smoker. Will it affect the medication in any way? Is it best to just refrain from any marajuana smoking until 7-10 days later? Or weeks?

I have been battling the dizziness, pressure, off balance feeling for some time now, I notice there are other post on here, I was admitted to the hospital with a low heart rate (45) resting.

This was subsequently diagnosed as pharyngeal gonorrhea and treated with oral and injected antibiotics. How long will it take for these antibiotics to cure the gonorrhea and when is it safe to have oral sex again? 2) If I performed oral sex on someone while the test was being processed, what is the probability I gave it to him? 3) I am trying to discern when I picked it up.

Sometimes your body gets inflammed. In some cases antibiotics in very low doses help with depression and help improve over all thought.

I have recently been tested for Lyme disease. The results are'nt in yet but I have a few thoughts. I have had moderate depression for years. In the past, SSRIs worked very well to control it. This time, anxiety and depression are much worse and the meds don't seem to be as effective. I have tried three different SSRI and an SNRIs. I always feel like I have a low to moderate level of anxiety and I have very emotional swings that I never used to have.

Does Antibiotics create/ignite old depression/anxiety sickness ?

I'm really not sure. The best person to ask would be your dr. There are some dr's that won't prescribe medicines other than antibiotics in the first trimester and there are some dr's that will prescribe low dose anxiety and depression meds in a low dose 2nd trimester and after. Every dr is different so again check with yours...... Good luck.

As the doctors diagnosed a staph infection and prescribed antibiotics before a skin scraping was taken, depending on how many days they have been on the antibiotics and if they were prescribed the correct one, the skin scraping may not show any bacteria now. If the 2 brothers got the rash after swimming at the pool, it may be a reaction to the chemicals in the water.

So I've been on depo for 9.months now and got my renewal shot and antibiotics for 10 days on the same day, how long should I wait before having unprotected sex? How will they effect eachother????

Does anyone know anything about BV and taking antibiotics for it? I just want more info about it, thank you.

I remember when I used bcp's that Dr's would always say that when you were taking antibiotics to use condoms or other barrier methods because antibiotics would make the pill uneffective during the time you had to take them. Well I'm trying to ttc and I'm currently taking antibiotics, how would that affect my O? I'm in my O days and I'm hoping that antibiotics would not hurt ttc? I don't know, does anyone know how antibiotics affect your cycle?

s about 6 months ago, I am unable to take oral antibiotics without some serious side effects, such as diahhrea and a lot of abdominal pain. Has anyone had any luck with other types of antibiotics or do you go straight for the IV antibiotics? I also have Type 2 diabetes, so infection sends my blood glucose way high.

re going to have to start taking after the antibiotics are done, is some Acidophilus. The antibiotics not only wipe out the bad bacteria in your body, it takes out the good stuff too. Acidophilus will help you get the good stuff back! 250mg 2x a day is a normal doseage for an antibiotic.
