Do antibiotics make you psychotic?

I haven’t felt psychotic since starting the antibiotics, but I feel a little bit unstable. My sleep is erratic, I’m having nightmares, and my senses are particularly sensitive. Things are louder and brighter.

Does anyone else have trouble with antibiotics?

The internet seems to think it has something to do with killing all my gut bacteria.

I’ve been taking amoxicillin the past few days and I don’t really notice any changes in myself.

They don’t. I’d be in trouble if they did because I’ve had some bad diverticular disease flare-ups lately and have had to be on heavy antibiotics.
