| 5 | Bacterial sinus / bronchial infection | Knee pain, lower back pain (kidneys - see below), sleeplessness (keep waking up, restless sleep), feeling weak / not myself. On the other hand - it is only for a few days so i endure as i do not want to risk pneumonia. It is effective, as most of the sinus / bronchial issues disappeared within 48hrs. | Have taken it before, was much more ill back then. I realise now that part of symptoms were actually caused by the medicine. Remedy for lower back pain: lots of water (i conclude that pain most likely comes from kidneys, as water takes the edge off the pain within 20 mins) | 48 | 7 days 1000mg eve | 10/21/2019 | 5 | Sinus Infection/Strep throat | Zero side effects. | M | 51 | 10 days 2000 2X day | 5/25/2015 | 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 | 5 | chronic sinusitis | None | Augmentin XR1000 has been my only saving grace at keeping my chronic sinusitis under control. I at least can taste and smell and there is no discharge when using it as a prophylactic.Sinus surgery was unsuccessful as well as numerous other attempts such as allergy shots, Medications that were vaporized,etc. Thousands have been spent with this condition. My fear now is that the Augmentin is losing the sinusitis war as I have just had a tube put in my left ear. Extreme Congestion is also recurring. I will continue with the sinus irrigation and hopefully find a doctor that can help. | M | 52 | 16 months 1000 1X day | 11/3/2010 | 5 | Severe Sinus Infection | No major side effects...the first few day I was a little tired and down. Wouldn't call it depression just fatigued. I'm now on 8 day of 10 day dose...2000 mg twice a day. I think that me eating a full non greasy meal helped with not getting loose bowels. I have a little lower back pain at the moment...not sure if it's from new shoes from a pre-existing condition. All in all I'm am satisfied with my doctors decision to put me on this medication being that I am hard to treat and very sensitive to alot of Rx drugs. I have two days left on this medication...I'll keep you posted if anything changes. The best to all! | F | 46 | 8 days | 10/24/2009 | 5 | Pneumonia | Some weakness and drowsiness. | Knocked the infection right outa me, and it was a nasty one which nearly killed me. Take on a full stomach, and supplement with acidophilus. As with all antibiotics, please use your entire prescription. | M | 55 | 10 days | 2/28/2009 | 5 | sinus infection | Loose stools. This was improved if I took dose with a full meal rather than a snack. | F | 49 | 10 days | 2/11/2009 | 5 | sinus infection | crazy diarrhea | worth it because it knocked out the sinus pain in 24 hours. 6 days left. | F | 36 | 10 days | 7/10/2008 | 5 | Recurring Maxillary Sinus Infection | None. | Within 18 hours I was feeling much better. No reaction (diarrhea, nausea, or skin rashes) at all. Much better than the previous antibiotics that had tried and failed to alleviate the infection. | M | 27 | 10 days | 3/2/2008 | 5 | Pneumonia | I havent had any side effects except to be feeling 100% better!! I have taken it for 4 days now and have 6 left to go. Great med! | The cost of this medicine is very high but worth it due to how quickly it works. I had read this webpage before taking the medicine and was very worried about side effects but so far none. I am eating before I take the pill and also eating yogurt to prevent digestive problems. | F | 37 | 4 days | 2/23/2008 | 5 | Sinusitus | Started feeling better quickly. | This stuff is incredible. Knocked out a sinus infection that resisted previous treatment. I had no side effects whatsoever and I think that this is a miracle drug. | M | 38 | 10 days | 1/12/2008 | 5 | Sinus infection | I had no side effects at all. It just did its job. I had seen this site before taking it, so I was worried, but no problems. | F | 47 | 10 days | 12/3/2007 | 5 | sinus and ear infection | The worst diareah I have ever had. I mean I could not even leave the house the get my daughter off the school bus. | The only thing that cures my chronic sinus and ear infections. Side effects are worth it. | F | 33 | 10 days | 3/8/2007 | 5 | sinusitis | none that were noted | after a series of 5 different antibiotics from family doctor, siusitis, bronchitis did not improve. specialist prescribed augmentin xr 1000. took entire course of med, to feel 90% better. a week after completing back to new. thank god for augmentin xr | M | 50 | 10 days | 11/16/2006 | 5 | Strep Throat | Some gas and bloating. | Just wanted to update my previous comments on this drug. I'm on day 8 of 10 days. My Doctor confirmed the diagnosis of Strep Throat bacteria from the culture throat swab he took last week. The more I use the drug the side effects don't seem as bad. I would recommend this drug for treatment of Strep Throat and bacteria! --- It really cured me quickly ! Thanks :-) | M | 27 | 10 days | 9/22/2006 | 5 | Sore Throat - Tonsilitis | Some gas and bloated stomach, constipation. | After 5 days of horrible swollen painful tonsils and not being able to sleep or eat or drink due to intense pain when swallowing I went to the doctor and he gave me an Rx for 10-day course of Augumentin XR.... I took the first 2 pills immediately after leaving the Dr's office and my fever and sore throat subsided within 24 hours ! I was able to go back to work the next day and was able to sleep finally. The pus on the sides of my tonsils disappeared and my voice returned to normal. I'm on day 4 of 10 right now. The side effects were not that bad, only some mild gas and bloating and mild stomach cramps... I've been eating a lot of yogurt and pro-biotic drinks to replenish my intestinal friendly bacteria. | M | 27 | 10 days | 9/16/2006 | 5 | chronic sinus infection | none | finally cleared up my chronic sinus infection!! YAY!! | F | 28 | 10 days | 8/9/2006 | 4 | Strep throat | Diarrhea, nausea, vaginal yeast infection, tiredness, headache, all over achiness | This medication worked great to kick the streps butt, unfortunately, around day 4 it started kicking mine as well. The only other antibiotic i have ever had any trouble with was e-mycin, with that one i had uncotrolled vomitting immediately, so this one is a bit sneakier. I would definitely try something milder like Keflex 1st, but if you cant, take lots of probiotics and be ready to become a whiney baby for a while because you may feel like crap. | F | 42 | 10 days | 10/22/2016 | 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 | 4 | Sinus Infection | been feeling unusually tired, sluggish, depressed and having mood swings. It didn't occur to me that it might be the drugs! Now that i know why i feel so terrible i've found some relief and will contine my 5 to 10 day course. it's working for it's intended purpose | F | 20 | 3 days 2X day | 10/25/2012 |
