Depression
Can Dalacin C cause depression? I have a friend whose right big toe had been amputated recently. He was prescribed cloxacillin & clindamycin (dslacin c). He's not so worried about his toe because he can still function like a normal/regular person even w/o it. But while he's taking antibiotics, his family noticed he's unusually depressed....feeling so down....they are suspecting it's a side effect of his medication. What are your thoughts on this matter?

I don't think so it's because of the medicine.. I think it could probably be a grief reaction to the loss of his great toe..
I recommend taking to a psychiatrist who can help him in accepting the new changes happening after the removal of his toe..
