Brief Answer:
You should start probiotic intake.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Antibiotics cause great destruction of intestinal bacteria. So most likely all the symptoms you have are caused by lack of good intestinal bacteria. Even depression, mood changes and stress can be triggered by a lack of good intestinal bacteria.
That is why I suggest you to start with good probiotic intake (containing at least few different bacteria). It should take a couple of days to see any improvement.
If this wont help, the next step is to have gastroscopy and colonoscopy to rule out the worst possibilities.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
