1 | cold and cough | i took one amoxicillin 500 mg 8 hours later another one. i was sweaty and i fell asleep and had a hard time waking up. i stopped it. i am on alot of other heart meds, too. | F | 87 | 1 days 500 mg 3X day | 11/4/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | Disoriented, confused, anxiety, wild dreams, muscle aches, depressed! Has been four days off of it and confusion a lot better but still feeling fatigued and just not myself. NEVER want amoxicillin again! | F | 77 | 7 days 500 mg 3X day | 10/19/2020 | 3 | sinus infection | I didnt experience really bad side effects while taking. Now that I finished Rx 4 days ago, I am feeling worse. | After finishing the Amoxicillin Rx 4 days ago, I have lightheadedness, dizziness, stiff neck and nausea. These didnt happen while taking the prescription, and they have never happened before. Has anyone else experienced after effects? Can the Amoxicillin stay in your body after you finish taking it? When I get a sinus infection, I have no congestion or post-nasal drip. I just have awful pressure and headache and throbbing nostrils and sinuses. These are still going on. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might have had side effects AFTER stopping the Amoxicillin. | M | 74 | 10 days 875 mg 2X day | 5/18/2021 | 3 | tooth infection | Panic attacks. Disorientation. Depersonalization. Dread. Fear. Plus the physical gastro side effects (diarrhea, etc). | After 3 days of only 2 capsules a day (I am cautious about taking antibiotics) I felt much better. Tooth didn't hurt and I could chew on that side easily. But like all of us "take the full course of antibiotics!" I kept on. The first day wasn't so bad, just a little anxiety from knowing I'd have to have more dental work (extraction eventually) and sleeplessness and weird dreams. But now on Day 5, even at only 2 capsules a day, I am a mess. I occasionally take a very low dose of diazepam and it didn't help at all. I've been having panic attacks for a long time after over-taxing my adrenal system with too much coffee years ago. I'm now very sensitive to caffeine, epinephrine, etc. Never thought this "mild, rather benign" antibiotic would trigger an attack. I have no problem normally with Bactrim or Z-Pack. I read a really good article about NOT taking the full course as prescribed. www.statnews.com/2017/02/09/antibiotics-resistance-superbugs/ | F | 73 | 5 days 500 mg 2X day | 10/8/2021 | 1 | Ear infection | I got a fever never been so cold went to bed with two dressing gowns on and socks on my feet and hands Also got a throaty cough and non stop wheezing plus a headache.

Good thing I have no problems with it because every other antibiotic I've taken makes me sick. | M | 71 | 1 days 2000 mg 1X day | 12/25/2014 | 4 | Urinary Tract Infection | Had diarrhea and vomiting and was told by my physician to take Flora Q when I have to take Amoxicillin. | F | 71 | 10 days | 9/2/2007 | 3 | Sinusitis | Tired, sluggish,difficulty concentrating,light headed. | I'm not sure if it cleared up the infection since I still have most of the symptoms even though they seem less severe. | M | 71 | 60 days 875mg 2X day | 7/16/2012 | 2 | bronchitus asthma complications | Nausea upset stomach no appetite dizzy-tired | I have taken it for dental procedures as relating to mitral valve prolapse & been ok-much lesser amount so was not made this ill. | F | 71 | 6 days 875mg 2x | 11/30/2014 | 1 | Ear infection | Nausea dizziness itchy sweating over all feel horrible only after 2 capsules.

Woke up next a.m. feeling like I had a severe dose of the flu..aching muscles, could hardly move. Felt horrible. That nite sweating started. Soaked my clothes. Hot sweats and cold sweats. Continued dosage for 3 days total. Thank god I found this forum.Am not taking any more and am calling dentist pronto. | Unfortunately we all have to rely on the guidance of med. professionals becs. we simply don't have the knowledge to make an informed choice...plus you are usually pretty vulnerable when seeking med. assistance, so you have to trust. But next time, before I swallow pills I know nothing about, I will check, carefully, reliable ratings online like "Ask a Patient". and have a discussion with my Dr. before further jeopardizing my health. | F | 70 | 9 days 500 3X day | 1/5/2018 | 1 | I will kill myself now is it the amoxicilon | I hate life after taking this crap | F | 69 | 0 days | 5/7/2017 | 1 | upper respiratory gum infection, | Extremely nervous, anxious, maybe I should go to ER.

It seems like the dosages in antibiotics are so much higher than years ago. Could not make it past day four. Illness is easier to tolerate than the medicine. | F | 68 | 4 days 875MG 2X day | 1/19/2015 | 2 | Infected molar/tooth extraction | Insomnia, mild mid sternal discomfort, anxiety, diarrhea. I just found out that the manufacturer is Aurobindo a Pharmaceutical company in India. Never experienced side effects mentioned above before.

AMOXICILLIN (AMOXICILLIN): Amoxicillin is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is a penicillin-type antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. Amoxicillin is also used with other medications to treat stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by the bacteria H. pylori and to prevent the ulcers from returning.
