My head feels weird and very heavy Everytime after I take this I just don’t feel right I’m not really freaking out I just needs to know has anyone experienced this it makes my anxiety kind of worse

Zhiyah, it is not all in your head. Certain antibiotics can make already existing anxiety

a little worse. However, do not stop taking them. Talk to your doctor. It is important

that you finish the prescription as he ordered. Maybe knowing that it is not your

imagination can help you get through this. xx

I don't know about antibiotics Manning anxiety worse, but infections certainly can make it worse. When you have an infection, your body makes a substance called cytokines. These help fight your infection, but sometimes they can make you feel more anxious than usual.
