Anxiety after antibiotics?

[TrippyMcGuire762]

So I took two 10 day courses of antibiotics which ended on the 20th of December. While on them, and even now, my anxiety is so bad that it is preventing me from going to work and doing what I like. Is there some kind of correlation? If so, how much longer approximately will this last? I'm seriously considering restarting anxiety meds to get back to living my life. If anyone knows anything about this and can give me some tips, that would be much appreciated.

Yes i can relate to this, it may be due to what happens in your gut that causes this knock on effect.Antibiotics destroy both good and bad bacteria....not just in the area of infection, but in the intestinal flora.Which is why you need to take probiotics like yoghurt or fermented foods like kefir or sauerkraut to build back the good bacteria...without it you cannot absorb the best from foods so your levels of certain minerals drop.Especially magnesium, this one mineral helps you relax and stay calm...if your mind is in an upheaval try Magnesium Threonate...this feeds straight into the brain mitochodria and produces a state of calmness similar to that of valium...If you are restless in the body then most types of magnesium will help....magnesium glycinate is easily absorbed.....taurate for the heart...avoid magnesium sulphate this is the one to cure constipation!......the best thing is you cant overdose on it because the body will only use what it needs...aim for 500 mg per day..easily obtained online amazon/ebay.
