Yeesh. I’m reading the side effects of Levofloxacin (antibiotic) because the ear/nose/throat doc said this one can cause serious side effects with tendons snapping (!!). But I’m taking it anyway because I have a terrible ear infection. The pain is so bad, I can’t sleep. My ear is hot. The doc said my ear drum is all blisters and swollen. The augmentin (first antibiotic) the regular doc gave me did nothing.

So, anyway, I’m reading side effects and it says psychosis. Seriously? So then I read about bipolar and antibiotics, and apparently it is thought the infection itself may be causing mania, or it could be the antibiotic.

Do you guys find antibiotics or infections trigger mania?

Sigh
