Antibiotics and Anxiety

Outside of this forum, has anyone seen additional information on antibiotic caused anxiety?  I cannot believe that it can cause such an effect on me, and many others, and yet my doctor's know nothing of it!  I also cannot find any other information on the internet except here.  Anyone know where this topic has been explored?

Any medication has tons of side effects, many rare, but you can be lucky and get one.  Antibiotics have a lot of possible side effects -- read the PDR -- but most are rare.  And realize that what most doctors know about medication would fit on a thimble.  Antibiotics can also cause anxiety in a very indirect way, but this would be caused by frequent doses.  Because antibiotics kill the beneficial bacteria in our bodies as well as the bad ones, they can leave the body's immune system open to infections, especially yeast.  Yeast infections can cause a host of symptoms if it gets bad enough, including anxiety and fatigue.  The first line of defense is, every time you go on an antibiotic, take a good probiotic from a good health food store, one that's refrigerated, and to make sure you only use antibiotics when necessary, not just when a doctor finds them convenient.  They are way overprescribed.  Now, none of this may apply in your case -- but it illustrates how many medications have side effects doctors will seldom mention.
