Possible Cipralex and Flagyl interraction with Klonopin and Lexapro?

[Stan2233]

Hello. I suffer from panic disorder and have been on a steady dose of Lexapro 10mg and Klonopin 0.25mg for 5yrs. 5months ago I was given Ciprofloxacin and Flagyl for an UTI. My girlfriend had them before me and had panic attacks and nervous breakdowns 1 week after treatment. I started them myself a bit later and experienced the same after one week,plus muscle stiffness, nausea, sweating, small fever, heightened reflexes, dilated pupils, blood sugar levels were crazy, irritability, aggression, odd thoughts of being detached from myself and committing suicide (which is not part of my character), anxiety to the point where sound was irritating. Most of those symptoms have faded during those 5 months, but now I barely find strength to do anything and my body still feels as if it's poisoned. I get exhausted for just lifting my hand (I used to go to the gym daily before the antibiotics). My CNS just doesn't feel right and I have a general,severe feeling of being sick. I have some minor muscle twitches. Blood tests are normal. Please advice me on a way to counteract the effects of those antibiotics, so I can discuss them with my doctor. Thank you!

Hello.
Well I have discussed them and all other possible reasons have been ruled out. Depression, fybromialgya, etc. etc.
Since there is a lack of neurological medical tests that can be done in the area where I live, I pointed my question to you, but still, thank you.

There isn't a way to counteract antibiotics.  After 5 months, these medications would definitely be out of your system.  Also, since you were on them for short term treatment of a UTI, I don't think the antibiotics would have caused all of these effects. I think you should discuss other possible causes of your fatigue with your doctor.
