 4  Ear infection None. Amoxicillin worked fine. The antibiotics that cause people to be permanently disabled for the rest of their life are: Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, and Avelox. M 40 10 days

 4  Infected tooth/gum Slight headache, slight feeling of brain fog, queasiness, wakeful and not being able to have deep sleep I tried to evaluate my symptoms and decide which ones were caused by amoxicillin and which ones were caused by a physical malady. I narrowed it down to the ones I listed because I also have sinus problems that make me feel really spaced out and also give me facial pain. Seems many here have an anxiety problem, which I do as well. is my anxiety worse on this large dose? Not really. I think the tiredness I feel from the amoxicillin actually makes me feel calmer. However, I do feel slightly more emotional than usual. Just 1 more day on the drug then I'll see how I feel. It has a very short half life so I won't have to wait long. M 66 10 days
1000mg 3X day

 4  Teeth extraction I read up about antibiotics taken Italy and how it can damage the helpful stomach flora. So I stocked up on probiotic foods, yogurt, kale, spinach etc. I haven't had any issue with taking these, and my skin is clearing up. So I learned that my particular type of acne is bacteria based not diet or cleanliness. It's a bit of a blessing actually. M 29 4 days

 4  Throat Infection The only side effect I noticed from Amoxicillin was that it left me lethargic, feeling of mallaise. Amoxicillin did the job. Outside of the lethargy, I did not experience any substantial/noticeable side effects. M 30 10 days

 4  sore throat, bronchitis No side effects noticed, not even the stomach upset. After ten days this finally seemed to clear up a lung infection that started with a swollen throat two weeks earlier. But three days later I still have a lingering ear infection and doctor has prescribed Avelox, but it is one of the lowest rated meds on this site due to side effects and I am hesitant to take it. M 52 10 days
1000 1X day

 4  Lung Infection I had no side effects and it got rid of a lung infection. I have responded well, generally speaking, to Amoxicillin. I have taken it whenever it was prescribed for me through the years. M 49 10 days

 3  Middle ear infection excessive sweating each pill also contained 125MG of clavulanic acid. Within 48hrs I could feel the benefits. But after 5 days it seemed the infection was getting worse. The second course seems to be having a positive effect - I'm in the middle of treatment. M 56 10 days

 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
