Depression from Minocycline (Minocin)?

For the past five months or so I’ve been on Minocycline (an antibiotic prescribed for acne) and I cant help but notice I feel more depressed than usual this winter season. (I have SAD/Seasonal Depression and two parents with bipolar disorder although I have not been diagnosed with it - it’s a slew of conditions, I know.) The season depression has always made me a little depressed come wintertime, however, it’s much worse this year and I’ve been having more frequent panic attacks and headaches. Has anyone else had similar side effects with this medication?
