Questions About Antibiotics Posted: 08-25-07 06:38am
Before you all go saying this is in the
wrong section, hear me out.
How many of you with anxiety problems have
taken any of the following antibiotics.
Yes, I know some are on this list multiple
times, I just cut and pasted a list.
The reason I ask is this type of
antibiotic is linked to severe anxiety
issues (much like the ones I've developed
since taking them). So I'd like to hear
from other people with anxiety if this is
a factor in their situation.

I did. Apparently it's quite common.
Though luckily I haven't had one recently.
This might get better attention in the
'anxiety' forum.

I've suffered from panic attacks for years
but never used antibiotics to help.
Have you spoken to your doctor abou this?
There are things which can help, both
things you can do and medication if it's
uncontrollable

No, no, no...you completely misunderstand.
The quinolone family of antibiotics is
what CAUSED this.
