> I started to get constant headaches and it made it even harder to think so I have ended my trial.
Hummm, why taking minocycline first? I took it several times in my life for acne and I always got terrible headache with it and more anxiety as well... I don't think it's a good antibiotic at all, do nothing for my acne problem...the tetracycline was far better for me and never had side-effects from it... but tolerance to antibiotics appear fast so always need to switch from the tetracycline to the minocycline and then the strong and bad drug call Acutane...took that drug 4 times for 4 months each time, with 2 months break between each trail... my face look nice now for sure, no pimples at all, no skin problem or no acne marks at all, but major dry skin all the time, even after 5 years my skin is dry, lips and some parts of my body like my hands or elbows...The acutane was perfect to clear my face from all the pimples I had for sure but give terrible side-effects as well...panic attacks, migraine, pressure inside my head, low mood...to name a few...
Some antibiotics are not good for anxiety, cipro for example and the very old peniciline, they are gaba antagonist and they stop the effect of the natural gaba produce in the brain who bring the calm and relaxed state of minds...no wonder why they have side-effects related to the overstimulation of the CNS... they also block the anti-anxiety effects of the benzo meds... I discover it by accident when my Doc put me on the cipro for an infection that I don't remember? (Bad memory here...lol)... was already on the Klonopin and as soon as I take 1 cipro pill I start feeling anxious and ending with some panic attacks for the whole time the drug was in my system...things get better 24 h later and never take it again...
I have to take some clarithromycine (Biaxin) soon for my intestinal problems... but i'm scare to death... since it's messing up the gaba system, like the cipro... so we are working out to find another antibiotic who will be able to give some relief from the bloating, pain and gas... I know that in the USA, they just discover that one antibiotic give very good results for IBS symptoms relief, but we don't have it in the Canada and it will not be release here... before, the Flagyl was the gold standard treatment in that kind of symptoms, took it too often and now it's doing nothing for me...it not kill the bacterias inside my intestine anymore...
Well, maybe minocycline show some promising effects on depression... but for anxiety it's a no no...headache and anxiety is the main symptom of that antibiotic... My sister is allergic to it, maybe i'm allergic to it also, who know... lol
