Doxycycline induced anxiety/depression/OCD/panic/bizarre thoughts 8 MONTHS HOW TO GET BETTER

Does anyone know how to stop this craziness??? I took a 3 week course of doxycycline monohydrate in August. I was completely happy, illness-free, etc. The symptoms started almost immediately within a few days and were and continue to be VERY VERY intense and painful 8+ months later. I know I am not alone in this:

Some people's symptoms resolved after stopping the doxycycline, others (like me) had the symptoms continue. It resembles VERY VERY intense anxiety/depression/OCD/panic but I guarantee you it is different from these things and is not a triggered issue. This I am 100 percent on. Some other symptoms include:
-Bizarre thoughts
-Cannot think straight
-Obsessive thoughts
-Feeling like someone else is in my body
-Panicking

The "obsessive" thoughts range from every other thought to every 10 and are all-day long. I sometimes also get thoughts that I should jump out of my window or that I should trip on a trail or fall off a bridge. These again are not my original thoughts and are a symptom of this medication so please do not remove this description.

Does anyone have any idea of what the cause of all this could be? Any ideas of how to get better? I am already working on restoring my gut, taking supplements, etc.

Here are more examples of experiences that I would say are identical to mine.

Hi,

I am aware of others' experiences with doxy on here (my google link). I have read through maybe 50 different forumn posts from people with my same symptoms but no one has any idea how to deal with it. I am getting medication, therapy, and doctor's help and nothing is working. The doctor says my best bet is to wait out the symptoms. So just seeing if anyone has an idea of anything else to do, ugh it's been 8 horrifying months and if anyone has any idea of what might be causing this I'd be very helpful to hear it. I'll check out the self help posts ty :) The main thing would be if this is some kind of chemical imbalance that can be reversed, that would be the best case solution. Does anyone know of any kind of anything that could cause this? EG neurotoxicity, lack of processing of something in the gut, etc. Because no one has come up with a solution that I can find, I'm thinking hitting on the problem source could fix this! Thanks for the comments I appreciate it.

Yep! Taking probiotics. That is one possibility.

I'll give it a shot

Were you able to mostly return to feeling how you were before the antibiotic? Sorry about your smell!
