4 days afetr routine visit at the local GP I have started to feel panic I'didnt think about it mutch at the time over course of 4 weeks I have developed sinustitis infection. Over the course of those 4 weeks I started to feel depressed and had panic attacs.I'm currently on the 3sed antybiotics and been given antidepressants After 4 days of 3rd set antibiotics i started to feel better both metal and it seems that infection is in reverse.  I haven't had predispositions to depression before.My main concern is that first attack was 5days after I think I contracted bacteria visiting GP for routine check. I started to feel ok for while and yes it did get worse after first dose of antybiotic. Im bit worry that medication I have been given for anxiety will cause more issues.

    I have had a sinus infection for months and plenty of antibiotics nothing seemed to work.  I did some reading and a sinus dr at a sinus instatute said that the reason antibiotics don't work is because the bacteria is protected by a biofilm.  His answer to this problem is to iragate your nose with of all things baby shampoo.  I have been doing it for three days and I have less infection every day coming out in the morning.  

    Look ok up sinus infection you tube baby shampoo,or it's also on the web.  For every cup of warm water use half tsp of salt, half tsp of baking soda and half tsp of baby shampoo.  It does not sting at all.  He says to do it once a day.  He also recommends putting probiotics up your nose in water.  If your not sure about doing this stuff read about it and ask your dr.  Hope you feel better soon.

    It is possible. But now its a starting part. Yes be careful with anxiety medications and theres interactions. They have ones as needed too. First clean uo your gut. Probiotics and yeast diet to lower it. Lots of water. Sometimes sugar levels get effected to and that takes time to calm down. Try cbt. Books and online.

    i have a sinus infection right now. Wow my face hurts they gave me augmention. Which gives me a headache now. I get anxious i have eye issues and weird weird ear stuff tinnitus and motrin triggers sound sensitivity. So im sitting here with a headache and ringing and its all annoying. Wont use motrin too scared after my last experience.. it is sad that one bad illness can really mess a person up but it does.  Ents arent my favorite doctors either. They tend to deny a lot and just give pills and more pills without really trying to figure much out. They have no cure for tinnitus or sound sensitivity but then they are so quick to tell people to use all different medicines,
