My doctor put me on Biaxin XL last friday 1000 mg. in the morning. I do feel better physically, but yesterday I was crying, depressed, felt like I was losing my mind, today took the next dose and felt anxiety, had suicidal thoughts, restlessness, mood changes. Saw that this was side effects, called the doctor, he told me to stop the medication. He is putting me on Ceftin tomorrow, but my question is how long before I stop having the reactions from the Biaxin.

I did talk to the pharmacist and she said that all the antibiotics in the line with Biaxin XL are newer antibiotics that cross the Blood Brain Barrier and she has had people hallucinate on them. This is scary, if I knew this before I went on the medicine I wouldn't have gone on it.

I have no idea, but if it makes you feel better, I've had no problems with Ceftin, and it is the medicine that is finally working for my 4 month old infection.
