| 4 | beginning stages of pneumonia | Explosive diarrhea on the second day (did not take with enough food). Occasional upper abdominal pain that would subside after lying down. Some anxiety starting around day 7-8. Fatigue. Slight nausea. | Took a few days to clear up my infection, but after about day 5, I stopped coughing and spitting up yellow mucous. I just finished my 10th day, and am no longer coughing. The positives definitely outweighed the negatives for me. If you are experiencing stomach pain, diarrhea, or nausea, I suggest taking your antibiotic with a LARGE meal (I usually just heated up a lean cuisine). Also, it helped with I took the antibiotic at the BEGINNING of the meal, not the end. This way, the antibiotic gets absorbed at the same time as your stomach is digesting food, so you stomach will feel the effects from absorption less. | F | 21 | 875/125 1X day | 3/5/2010 Patient History | 1 | Possible infection in breast | Chest pain, dead arm | Very scary, almost went to hospital for the chest. Only took 3 tabs cause I can't continue. Dead arm freaking me out. Didn't know I had any drug allergies but the drug combined with the amoxicillin did me no good. Hope these symptoms clear. | F | 29 | 500mg 2X day | 2/22/2013 | 1 | Bit by dog | Within one use of the medication, shortly after taking a pill I experienced: diarrhea, vomitting, itching all over body, swelling, heightened heart rate, fever, cold sweats, pain in my chest, stomach and abdominal area. Upon taking it once more recently, only 1cc of it, I have experienced itching, vaginal irritation, and reddened skin after not taking it for several months. | F | 17 | 1 times 500mg | 1/26/2015 | 1 | abscess n left thigh | doctor injected 15 ML powder mixture in vein an almost fallen dead. omitting, blackening of palms and soles. nails became blue. itching in hole body, severe sweating hole bed got wet. not able to hear and judge. all things looking white. heart rate increases. insomnia. urination and body temperature almost went to zero. fallen down on floor for 15 minutes. | doctor immediately give water to drink and 2 anti allergic injection in vein saved my life. very dangerous drug.

I took it for a sinus infection years later and it caused depression so I stopped. | M | 45 | 1 days | 6/21/2008 | 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 | 4 | Sinusitis, Acute URTI | severe muscle weakness in arms, anxiety, sweats, mild stomach pain and mild acid reflux | 2000 mg twice daily. The size of the dose scares me, but the clinical picture is that of pneumococcal infection, so I'd rather take this than have an URTI spread to my lungs. I'm taking a good probiotic so have not experienced any intestinal discomfort. It's only been prescribed for 5 days so I hope and pray that I won't experience severe side-effects. The sinus pains and headaches I had had for three days cleared up about 8 hours after taking the first dosage. | F | 19 | 2 days | 11/6/2009 | 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 | bronchitis | overall muscle weakness, severe leg weakness, falling | stopped taking after the second day and actually fell out of bed | M | 34 | 2 days | 8/26/2008 | 1 | pneumonia | Hives, swelling of my hands and feet if I got cold, and severe joint pain that lasted 3 weeks, and had hair loss for months afterward. | Would never recommend this except as a last resort. The joint pain was really harsh and faded very gradually over the 3 weeks after I stopped taking the drug. I lost a great deal of hair that didn't start growing back until about 5 months after I stopped taking the drug. I don't even want to imagine what may have happened if I had taken this drug through it's full coarse. | F | 18 | 2 days 1X day | 1/30/2013 | 1 | Asthmatic Bronchitis | Severe coughing, mood swings, difficulty breathing, nausea, depression. | M | 20 | 2 days 875mg/125m | 7/12/2012 | 1 | Got three teeth pulled, bone infection | Diarrhea | Can I stop taking them | F | 56 | 2 days 8.,75 2X day | 3/27/2021 | 1 | UTI | Dizziness on day 1. Left leg pain on day 2. | I will not continue taking it. | F | 53 | 2 days 125 mg 2X day | 5/18/2022 | 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 | 3 | spider bite | On day two had explosive watery diarrhea that came without warning. Have continued to have very watery diarrhea but no other apparent side effects yet. I am nursing, and my baby has some loose stools, but so far no explosive episodes like I did. Have had some itching around the bite, but had that before. Now on day 3 of 10 | I was aware of the diarrhea and yeast infection side effects before taking it, but was willing to try it to save my leg. I also had a shot of cephalosporin (sp?) antibiotic on day one as well. I was glad to hear about eating yogurt and am definately going to try this. My bite has stopped spreading and the burning and overall itch and discomfort has died down - so if this is because of the Augmentin, I'll deal with the diarrhea. I am going to call my doctor to let him know if it persists for another day, especially after eating yogurt. | F | 36 | 3 days | 3/21/2007 | 3 | Sinus infection | Severe joint pain but not sure if related to medication, reading other reviews feel it may. Have another 7 days of augmentin and will try and finish unless pain gets worse. | F | 51 | 3 days 125mg | 8/3/2014 | 3 | Sinus infection | Nausea, gas, loose bowels, lower back pain. | I did feel better after taking it within 24 hours. Day 3 lower back started hurting, fourth day now and back feels worse. Not clear whether the gas and back pain go hand in hand. | F | 43 | 3 days 875 MG 2X day | 1/15/2017 |
