 4  Abcessed tooth Metallic taste in my mouth, stomach cramping, diarrhea, My doctor suspected an abcessed tooth because I kept having pain after getting a crown. He gave me an extremely high dosage of this stuff and it's wrecking havoc on my stomach. I will be glad when I'm done with this. I can't take it much longer. It does seem to be helping my tooth though. For the first time in over two months I can bite down and not have any pain. F 27

 4  Dental infection I've worked in hospitals for 30 years, and believe me, every drug out there has some type of side effect. It's killing germs and infection so of course it is strong. I'm allergic, deadly allergic, to any type of penicillin. It had always worked great, and was cheap, but if I took it now I could die. So, it's cut down on many , many antibiotics I can take. I'm pretty much down to Biaxin and Clindamycin. Both, of course have some side effects. Nasty taste in mouth, stomach problems. But the truth is, compared to the pain of my infection, I deal with it. If anyone expects a miracle drug with no side effects, there are none. You find what works best for you, with the least amount of side effects, and you take it so you eventually feel better. Never, ever stop taking it, without getting put on something else. Even if you feel better you must continue the course of antibiotics. Feeling a bit better doesn't mean the infection is gone. If you stop, it WILL come back, and worse tha I'm taking this ...150 MG 2 tablets every 6 hours. F

 1  skin rash After I took it on day 1, I noticed I was feeling a little sick to my stomach, nothing to severe but on day 2 after taking my fourth dose I was not feeling like myself. I felt dizzy, nauseated, vomited, muscle pain, upset stomach, loose stools and severe fatigue.. I could not get out of bed for the ife of me to get ready for work but I had already missed two days due to being sick and had to force myself up. I felt like death. I felt like any moment I was going to pass out or have a panic attack. I am already sensitive to meds, this was ridiculous, I will not continue this medication. Makes me feel like I'm loosing my mind. F 38

 3  Tooth abscess removal Extreme nausea unless I stand for ten minutes. The first two days I have to take 2 capsules 3 times a day. That night I feel restless and then ended up with diarrhea and the next day when I woke up I continued to be stuck in the bathroom with diarrhea. The second dose that day I almost threw up because I sat down. I took natural dreamamine (ginger) so I wouldn't. Day three: I am so tired. I feel like even though I slept for 13 hours last night I feel like passing out at any second. It's the weekend and will have to call dr on call to ask for Levaquin. I have an allergy to sulfa and penicillin 😑 F 30 1 days

 2  Tooth abcess Severe heartburn and the feeling that the pill was stuck in my throat and in My chest. Mild burping even without having eaten anything. Also feeling like I'm coming down with a cold and am really tired with achy legs much like the body fatigue one feels at the onset of the flu. It has been just under 24 hours since I've taken a pill but will not be finishing the rest. Every time I swallow, I feel a heaviness in my chest. Was NOT a pleasant experience and I usually tolerate medications very well with no problems. Just fyi, I am not on any other medications for anything and followed the doctors instructions on how to take this drug. F 41 1 days

 1  minor root canal ibfection My dentist prescribed this medication to treat minor infection under the crown, root canal was done 12 years ago. I google this pills and got terrified by side effects it could cause. I have sensitive stomach and had I cade of diarrhea in the past, otherwise I am healthy. I took two doses but felt uncomfortable taking it, I just went to him and ask for amoxicillin. I am not risking my health over minor tooth infection! Amoxicillin worked just fine without those side effects. I wonder why manufacturer don't banned this medication, its seems to me that side effect clearly overweight the benefits. M 35 1 days

 1  bacterial infection I took one pill with dinner. I will never take this medicine again. One pill gave me the most horrific headache of my life. The acid reflux from the pill was nothing compared to the pain in my head. My vision was affected for 5 days. I was dizzy and became nauseous from constantly being dizzy. I felt like someone beat my eye sockets, side and back of my head with a baseball bat. It was like a concussion in pill form but worse. It took five days for the dizziness and vision problems to subside. I still have a slight headache but I will never take this poison again. F 36 1 days
