Before you all go saying this is in the wrong section, hear me out.
How many of you with anxiety problems have taken any of the following antibiotics. Yes, I know some are on this list multiple times, I just cut and pasted a list.
The reason I ask is this type of antibiotic is linked to severe anxiety issues (much like the ones I've developed since taking them). So I'd like to hear from other people with anxiety if this is a factor in their situation.
