I can't use Levofloxacin, an oral antibiotic because it it chemically similar to Cipro. Both of these antibiotics cause depression in me.
I am living with depression. I was implanted with VNS therapy on March 11,2008 and am blogging what experiences I have, not only with the device but with depression itself, and just what depression is. This is to let people know depression is not just the "blues". True depression is a disease, not a mood problem. One can manage the depression with various treatments and I invite you to learn with me as I go through it.

Off of Thoridiazine
I am at 1.25 at 2.5 hours. I have been taken off thoridiazine all together. We will wait and see what happens. Dr. Rivira said that other patients have had the same reaction to Cipro. I am going off the erytromycin today. We will see what happens. I had the root canal done two days ago. The area is still sensitive. I have pain pills just in case.

Antibiotics are Bad
It seems that the two antibiotics (erytromycin and cipro) that have been tried cause me to shift into depression. I have a new way to calm down my restless sleep. I am telling myself to sleep peacefully, to sleep deeply. This is new, so I have to test it for sometime before I know if it is working in all circumstances. (I studied hypnosis in the early 90's, meditation later, this is one technique from both disciplines. -edtior)(Antibiotics were a part of the problem, they destroyed the digestion and immunity in the system, driving me into the depression deeper and deeper. I also may have been having an allergic reaction to the drugs as well.-editor)
