Does anyone know if Isoniazid affect the mood, making you feel irritable and down ?

Hello,

I'm on Isoniazid, getting closer to the 2,5 months, but I'm becoming increasingly more depressed and irritable. Anyone else experiencing these?

And I'm dropping things from hands and feel and clumsy, fine motor skills impaired ?!

Many thanks.

Hi Rosegardens, I am sorry to read that you are experiencing unpleasant side effects and of the toll these are taking on your emotional health. I can't offer any personal experience, only my positive thoughts and a suggestion to speak to a pharmacist or your TB nurse to see if they can help. Take heart though - you are nearly half way through treatment.
