I called my GP and he said it is impossible for any antibiotic to make you depressed. I can't think of any other reason why my mood would crash so rapidly.

I haven't taken minocycline, but my mom and I both have had mood and/or flutype reactions to certain antibiotics. I can't explain it but Bleauberry's post seems worth considering.
"he [GP] said it is impossible for any antibiotic to make you depressed."
He sounds a little too sure of himself. As a GP, it could be he is not aware of certain drug interactions (imho).
