Sounds neuropathic: like. Not aware of m/any antibiotics other than for TB that do this. Are you diabetic or do you drink alcohol? You should consult a neurologist. It wouldn't hurt to be sure that your vitamins are replete, especially B12, Folate, and consider taking Pyridoxine or Pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Good luck!
