In reply to HELP! antibiotics and depression?, posted by SickyVicky on March 2, 2004, at 17:16:20
> I finally got on Lexapro a couple of months ago, am up to 20 mg and was feeling good UNTIL...strep throat! I have had problems with Penicillin products (had an Army doctor say I was nuts, he said he never heard of depression being a side effect of Penicillin) but I started Zithromax yesterday and today I almost feel like I need to pop a Xanax or something. What the heck?!? Anyone else have this problem? Thank goodness I take it for 5 days, I usually can't finish antibiotic treatment for this very reason. Thanks for any info and any advice, I just want to be "normal"! (Whatever that is...LOL!)
I have found that a virus/fever provokes depression and anxiety with me. I am pretty sensitive to medications, but I have not had a problem with Zithromax...but everybody is different.
