I hope that I'm in the right forum here but I just wanted to post an FYI about antibiotics. I am BP II and out of nowhere I caught pneumonia last month. I was hospitalized for three days and I was placed on the antibiotic, Levaquin. After I beat that I had to remain on the Levaquin for the remainder of the month because of a secondary infection of bronchitis.

Upon taking the Levquin, I became very depressed, it was a lot longer than my usual episodes and I was severely depressed for the entire month. Let me just say it was not a fun month and I wasn't "me." It wasn't until I went to my pdoc last week and I told him about the whole thing and he told me that Levaquin and other antibiotics can really effect your everyday medications. So, now that I am aware I just wanted to pass the information along!
