I wonder if it might be possible to ask your doctor to test for evidence of an infection so you'll be able to make a stronger case for needing an antibiotic. Is your white blood cell count high? Even if it's not, maybe you could ask your doctor to test for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies. If Wikipedia is to be believed, a whopping 38 studies have found T. gondii antibody titers to be positively correlated with schizophrenia. I know that this doesn't necessarily prove that T. gondii can cause schizophrenia, but I don't think that the evidence to support the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia is 100 percent conclusive either, despite the fact that psychiatrists routinely prescribe D2 receptor-blocking antipsychotics to treat the disorder. Anyway, I think that you should try asking to be tested for T. gondii antibodies, because if you test positive (and there's at least a decent chance you might, as someone with a psychotic disorder), it will be harder than it is now for your doctor to justify not prescribing you an antibiotic. Of course, all of this is assuming that the medication you're talking about here is minocycline, or some other antibiotic or antimicrobial agent.
Just my thoughts.
