| 2 | sinus infection | Increased coughing, very sore wrists, like carpal tunnel inflammation, loose stools alternating with constipation. | Has not helped the sinus problem, but seems to mak it worse, especially causing a lot of coughing. Also my hands are very sore and tingling. | F | 74 | 5 days | 11/25/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection | Horrific gout like symptoms in both feet and legs. I could not stand or walk plus exreme sleep disruption. Felt like I was loosing my mental balance. | I rarely take antibiotics and trust generally my bodies own internal processes. Consequently when I had this horrific reaction I stopped taking the medicine. After approximately 6 weeks my poor feet are not back to normal but are slowly getting better. Stay away from leviquin, another bad one. | M | 71 | 4 days 2X day | 3/19/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | Horrific gout like symptoms in both feet and legs.

Stay away from leviquin, another bad one. | M | 71 | 4 days 2X day | 3/19/2016 | 4 | sinus infection | thought I was having a heart attack, arm tingling and numb, very anxious, weird thoughts, sweating | it fixed up my sinus infection quickly, but I think they should warn you about possible side effects. last time I took it, for a tooth abscess, I ended up with thrush, so I knew to take yogurt and probiotics this time. so far, so good about that, but i'm only on day 3 of 10. | F | 69 | 10 days 875 2X day | 9/18/2013 | 1 | sinus infection | Severe joint (hip) pain. Never had any troubles with my hips in my life. Pain has been so severe I felt sick. On the 9th day started with neck, shoulder and back pain. Hopefully if I discontinue this it will stop. Will never take this drug again. | F | 69 | 9 days 875-125 2X day | 2/23/2012 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Severe migraine, stomach cramps, upset stomach, severe skin itching, (gerd) acid reflux, insomnia | Discontinued at 6 days still suffering from sever skin itching and insomnia 4 days after discontinuing. Never had a problem with plain amoxicillin. | M | 68 | 6 days | 11/25/2007 | 4 | cat bite | Diarrhea after one day of taking 2,000 mg.per day. Diarrhea more or less controlled by taking loperamide hydrochloride. | Better diarrhea than losing my arm! | M | 67 | 2 days | 7/3/2009 | 1 | sinus infection | Severe arthritic attacks three times during three courses of Augmentin XR This happened three times, each after about 8 to 10 days of taking Augment XR. Also severe diarrhea. | Extremely severe joint pain in knees, back, wrists, shoulders, hands. I could not walk without help for a couple of days. After many blood tests, doctors concluded Augmentin was likely cause. Has this happened to anyone else? | F | 65 | 12 days | 6/28/2006 | 1 | Acute sinusitis | Yeast infection, diarrhea, nausea, numbness of left side, dizziness, stiffness, dizziness so bad had a hard time getting to the toilet with diarrhea. Stopped taking and will never take again | F | 65 | 2 days 875 | 4/9/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection | The worst vomiting and diarrhea I have ever had for 5 hours straight probably should have gone to hospital but couldn't move this was within 2 hours of taking 1 pill - never again | F | 64 | 1 days 125 Mg 2X day | 2/17/2012 | 1 | Diverticulitis | I experienced stomache cramp while taking this medication, which has begun to get worse, 2 days after finishing the medication. | I am wondering if it's possible for this medication to cause stomach cramping days after finishing the medication. My stomach cramps are worse now. | F | 64 | 7 days | 9/9/2008 | 5 | Cat bites and scratches | Fatigue, appetite loss, nostalgia, hoarseness, blurred vision, dry eyes, leg weakness, brain fog | I think this is an excellent drug for bacterial infections, and it is the drug of choice for animal bites. It is very powerful and at higher doses, such as mine, I think some side effects are bound to occur. I didn't find them intolerable, just kind of putting my life on hold for ten days. It sure beats being in the hospital for four days on IV antibiotics. | F | 63 | 10 days 875 2X day | 6/4/2014 | 1 | severe ear infection | Horrible joint and muscle pain, pouring with sweat, very blurred eyesight, constant breathlessness, exhaustion, can hardly walk. Feel terrible. The infection has got worse, so all this agony is for nothing. Am, stopping the Augmetin and just hope that these effects won't last too long, but am afraid they may, as had previously been poisoned by a fluyoroquinolone antibiotic. | Will never take it again. I'd rather die. | F | 63 | 4 days 62.5mg 2X day | 8/12/2010 | 4 | Acute Sinus infection | Gas, bloating, constipation, a little nausea and dizziness (not sure if this symptom was assoicated heavy sinus though)and weakened bladder. | With a Chronic active autoimmune Hepatitis (in remission), liver damage, I am more than cautious about taking antibiotics. I took Amoxicillin for 1st day (taken previously for sinus, which had sent me to emerg with severe stomach pain),doctor recommended Augmentin & Clavulanate potassium, 625 mg x 2 daily, which I took for a total of 9 days. Doctor suggested a 14 day treatment for acute sinus, but I have difficulty with long term antibiotics due to liver damage, and understand my body’s tolerance quite well. Besides we don’t really know how much of the tooth problem could be affecting the sinus condition or visa versa, either way, a bad infection. After researching the drug, I also decided on lots of plain yogurt in between doses to keep the stomach as normal as possible. Overall, the pain has lessened and facial swelling has gone down. Tooth remains to be seen, but told this drug would help infection in this area too. | F | 61 | 9 days | 11/22/2007 | 1 | Sinus/upper respiratory infection | itching, rash, bloating, nausea, face swelling, jaundice, pain in upper abdomen, weight loss, loss of appetite | These symptoms appearing within a day or two of the end of the course of Augmentin - horrible itching, feel tired all the time due to lack of sleep, yellow skin and sclera, bloating, nausea... the list goes on and on. The symptoms do not ease over time. Now it appears there is liver damage due to this antibiotic. Testing starts today to determine the damage. Augmentin should be banned from use. | M | 61 | 14 days 1X day | 7/8/2010 | 1 | Earache | I am in terrible knee joint pain! Happened suddenly. | F | 61 | 5 days 85 mg | 7/12/2017 | 2 | sinusitis | Extreme fatigue, and severe muscle pain and weakness in the legs.The expense of this antibiotic is high, but I am asking the doctor today if I can stop it and get something else. | I will never take this again | F | 59 | 3 days | 4/24/2009 | 1 | Sinus and infection due to abscess | Weekends, tired, leg aches, brain feels off | F | 59 | 5 days 125 mg 2X day | 2/27/2023 | 1 | sinus infection | tired, no labido, severe diarreaha, stomach cramps, spotting and yeast infection | Stopped taking it after 6 days because I started to experience severe diareaha. On the fourth day I got a yeast infection. I'll never take this medicine again. | F | 58 | 6 days | 9/16/2009 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Extreme muscle/joint pain in arms, shoulders and upper back, from shoulder to shoulder. I discontinued after 10 days and still have no relief. Started prescription 5/20/09, stopped 5/30 and as of today 6/6/09, the pain continues. | F | 58 | 10 days | 6/6/2009 |
