| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR AUGMENTIN XR | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 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 | 3 | Sinus and ear infection | Nausea, headaches, anxiety, joint pain, heart palpitations, muscle spasms, heart burn, fluttering/spasm in left side of abdomen, fatigue, overall ill feeling | If you can stand these side effects, it seems like a good medicine to clear you up quickly, luckily I only have 1 day left, will not take again | F | 36 | 6 days 875-125 mg | 11/14/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection | Dizziness. Head pain. Anxiety panic. Confusion Thought that I was going crazy | F | 52 | 2 weeks Huge dose. | 10/10/2014 | 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 | Bronchitis that required respirator | Very bad headaches, feeling sleepy, insomnia, severe anxiety, loss of appetite, body feeling itchy. | My doctor prescribed it along with cortisone and respiratory physiotherapy because I had the worst bronchitis I 'd ever experienced. I think the medecine helped cure me but I lost self-confidence and the side effects were very difficult to cope with. I'd say be aware of that if your relatives or friends contact you. You may appear hyper anxious and people won't necessarily be sympathetic, thinking it's " just a bronchitis " and not knowing how strong the side effects are.Put your life on hold for a while. Avoid anything / anyone that can enhance anxiety. | F | 40 | 8 days 125MG 3X day | 6/6/2014 | 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 | Sinusitis | Severe anxiety, depression (probably from the anxiety!) | About three days into it, started to experience significant anxiety and OCD-ish symptoms; one week after finishing, anxiety largely gone. Went to a quick-med place that prescribed this. Normally take Z-paks for sinusitis without this side effect. Never had this reaction on augmentin when younger. | M | 47 | 10 days 875/125 2X day | 5/17/2014 | 1 | Sinus Infection | The WORST antibiotic I have ever taken. By day 3, I was experiencing severe anxiety, heart palpitations, constant and irrational worrying. I had tingling and numbness in my limbs and had no appetite. By night 3, I was unable to sleep. The next morning, I called my Dr. and had my antibiotic changed. Once I stopped taking Augmentin I started feeling back to normal. | F | 36 | 3 days 2xD | 4/22/2014 | 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 | Fatigue, dry-mouth, unwanted feelings of anxiety, upset, not normal for me. Loss of appetite. Discontinued after 4 days, making me crazy. | Never again, this is a powerful drug. | F | 56 | 10 days 125 2X day | 1/23/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection | Anxiety, increased heart rate,insomnia,feeling foggy. I haven't had the stomach upset, forced myself to eat something with. But I can't take anymore. Side effects worsening not getting better. Calling Doc in morning. Doubt they will do anything | F | 5 days 1000 mg/2p | 1/19/2014 | 1 | Sinusitis | Anxiety, depression, diarrhea, cold sensation, headache, dizziness, mental confusion, drowsiness, insomnia, altered visual perception, weakness, change in breathing pattern, heart palpitations | F | 35 | 3.5 days 875 2X day | 11/3/2013 | 2 | Infection due to Diverticulitis | On the 7th day my husband developed severe joint pain in his neck and wrists and eventually moved all over his body.It hurt him to move. He also had fatigue and dry mouth. | M | 38 | 10 days 75 2X day | 10/18/2013 | 3 | removal of impacted wisdom teeth | Severe headaches, spasms in my legs (especially kneecaps), lack of energy and feeling extremely sick despite eating before taking them. | F | 24 | 5 days 625mg | 9/28/2013 | 3 | ear infection | diarrhea, depression, extreme tiredness, mood swings | M | 28 | 7 days 375mg 3X day | 9/19/2013 | 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 | Dog bite | Severe anxiety, panic, cloudy head, lethargy, joint pain, diarrhea | I have never felt so bad as I have on this antibiotic. Almost immediately I began feeling anxious and by day 5 was so anxious, paranoid, and panicking that I could hardly function. I have taken augmentin before but have heard that one can develop hypersensitivity to it later on. Also had upset stomach the whole time even though I ate each time I took it (despite having no appetite) and joint pain that grew worse each day, especially in my shoulder, jaw, and knee. Never taking this medicine again! | F | 23 | 10 days 875mg 2X day | 7/31/2013 | 1 | tooth abcess | Upset stomach, nervous feeling, mood swings, and loose stools. The loose stools resulted in hemorrhoids, which I had to get additional meds for. WORST PAIN with bowel movements that I have ever experienced. | F | 36 | 7 days 500 | 3/11/2013 | 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 | 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 |
