I also got a slight headache /pressure in my temples.. | 21 | 7 days | 11/5/2014 | 3 | bronchitis | Tiredness, n mild dizziness...weird thoughts | 30 | 5 days 500mg | 12/2/2014 | 3 | Ear infection | I am wondering if these people experiencing these symptoms are actually experiencing a herxeimer reaction from Lyme bacteria die off and not a reaction to amoxicillin. If you normally dont feel 100%, have neuro problems, aches pains or other unexplainable symptoms normally you might want to look into possibly carrying lyme disease. Please comment with thoughts! | 10 days | 11/14/2019 | 3 | Tooth Infection | I'm sure I've taken Amoxicillin in past and felt a bit off, some gastro issues, but not this intense e.g. the anxiety and slight dizziness. Also nausea. Interesting reading how many others experienced same. At least tooth is feeling better. | I'm on day 4 of 7. On day 2 I started taking probiotics and probiotic yogurt to help calm stomach symptoms (which they have). These help replenish gut bacteria killed by antibiotic (it doesn't differentiate between good and bad bacteria). Dentist recommended yogurt when I called. Should be taken a couple hours or more apart tom the drug, not at same time. | 60 | 7 days 500 mg 3X day | 4/2/2023 | 2 | Dental, bacteria under the gums. | Dizziness , insomnia, worsen anxiety attacks, swollen lymph nodes, chest pain, jitters and heart palpations when attempting to sleep. | 32 | 8 days 500MG | 1/22/2019 | 2 | | 2/21/2005 | 1 | strep throat | nausea, anxiety, confusion, abdominal pain, dizziness | It's the first time I got this problems, other time I used it without significant side effects.

Took this and towards end and now 3 days after finishing my dosage I've felt so anxious, and hollow and empty inside, terrible headaches and imsomnia. If you are expieriencing anxiety from Antibiotics read up about probiotics and "the gut" very useful info I just started probiotics today, hoping it works! | 23 | 10 days | 2/28/2017 | 1 | Suspected chest infection | Extremely dry mouth,severe flu pains,chest pains,neck pain,chills sweating. | Still getting pains in arms ,back shoulder,3 weeks on. | 43 | 7 days | 1/9/2020 | 1 | UTI | I'm already on anxiety meds, but this drug has made my anxiety worse along with depression. I feel.so agitated especially as night approaches, keep pacing around. Also flushed face dry lips... It's like a living hell | I can't believe it's the same good old amoxcillin I once took... I've taken it so many times before but this is just something else | 33 | 3 days 500 mg | 2/6/2020 | 1 | To avoid Infection in toe. | Within 30min of the first pill I suffered thru intense anxiety, severe feelings of dread and mild nausea. Filing a complaint against the doctor that prescribed them. | This stuff is garbage 0/10 | 30 | 10 days 125 2X day | 12/27/2020 | 1 | Strep throat | Anxiety, Brain fog, disassociation, crying spells, generally feel out of it | as someone that suffers from anxiety, this medicine has heightened my anxiety to disturbing levels. although my strep throat is clearing up, the anxiety, inability to sleep, nervousness, feelings of losing control, and sadness is forcing me to stop. I was prescribed this drug back in 2019 and had no issues whatsoever. I feel this drug has changed or been altered because now I feel absolutely insane at times lol. Sadly, I will not be taking this drug anymore and will be looking for alternatives in the future. | 32 | 3 days 500MG 2X day | 6/2/2021 | 5 | Throat infection | Itchy private parts | Why all the bad reviews? Amoxicillin is really good and not dangerous. It's what they give u at the dentist. Unless u are allergic to the ingredients, it's bad for u. But for me it was really good. Took a while to work but it's vanilla compared to the really bad antibiotics out there. (Like bactrim and cipro) I even have anxiety problems too, but this medication was great, took my horrible sore throat (I couldn't even speak) away. The only side effect was itchy private parts, but that soon went away. | F | 34 | 10 days 125 mg 2X day | 9/23/2023 | 5 | Ear Infection | Severe head and neck pain on my left side, and a burning sensation. | Wondering if this is a major side effect? | F | 52 | 2 weeks 500mg | 12/26/2016 | 5 | Sinus Infection | After third day sinus infection much better but felt very anxious, nauseous and dizzy. Waking early with palpitations and sore eyes.

First day on amoxcillin had knee and muscle pains. While on it I have had severe anxiety, aches and pains, dizziness, pain on my temples, severe constant headache, insomnia, shakey throughout my body, muscle twitches, weak legs and arms and severe sweating at night.

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.
