I called my GP and he said it is impossible for any antibiotic to make you depressed. I can't think of any other reason why my mood would crash so rapidly.

Your GP is wrong. I have become depressed on antibiotics, and my psychiatrist said it could certainly happen. I felt better when I was done with the course of the antibiotic. Hang in there.emme
