Revved up from clindamycin

I've been off benzos for almost 2 years and have mostly recovered. Was put on this antibiotic and now I feel like I'm in acute

I've read many member posts who say they've had a reaction to an antibiotic but it's usually short in duration so try not to panic because the stress of that will make your symptoms worse.  This will pass, use your tools in an effort to stay calm, you're going to be okay if you don't let the fear get away from you.

I did a quick search regarding clindamycin. It appears to slightly decrease dopamine, but otherwise does not effect GABA. Decreased dopamine can be associated with increased serotonin, which can make you feel off. This should stabilize quickly. Gut bacteria are quickly wiped out by clindamycin - more so than many other antibiotics. Gut bacteria is also quite resilient, but maybe consider some good probiotics if you can tolerate them.

 

Hoping you feel better soon.
