5 | Tooth infection | Same as all these people. I have taken doxycycline too in the past, and some one else said it, but it made me feel the same as clindamycin. Excited, nervous, anxious, like I don't know what to do. I thought I was the only because I asked the pharmacy and a nurse and told them about a previous experience w/ the doxy. They told me there was no side effects like that w/ clindamycin, but after about 4 1/2 days it's not good. I feel like I'm supposed to finish it, but want to go back to being normal. What are people supposed to do. How can we get rid of an infection without feeling like this? What is the other option? It's sad that people do have these side effects but apparently it's not reported when you pick up from pharmacy. | I believe the FDA should study this more or whoever approved this stuff. | M | 4 days 150 mg 4X AN | 1/15/2024 | 3 | Infection prevention following surg | Cause vivid and wild dreams that interrupted my sleep frequently. This also led to low energy throughout the day. | F | 38 | 5 days 300 2X day | 12/23/2023 | 1 | acute pharyngitis | Bad taste in my mouth, increased anxiety, severe nausea, fatigue | I have general anxiety disorder and this medication has made my anxiety so much worse. It's undoing all the work my anti-anxiety meds have done for years. I haven't had a bad panic attack in so long, and I got one because of this medication. Horrible. Augmentin causes diarrhea for me but I'd rather take it than deal with the anxiety that this medication gives me. Anyone with an anxiety or panic disorder, please avoid this antibiotic! | F | 23 | 5 days 500 2X day | 11/17/2023 | 1 | Tooth infection | Crazy anxiety,rapid heart rate ,headaches , stomach acid is brutal .....bubbling in my gut .... | Med worked took the pain and abcess away but I felt like stopping so many times ...this drug obviously isn't for everyone and doctors should screen more to see what people r ok to take it it was a horrible experience. | M | 41 | 7 days 300mg 4X day | 11/13/2023 | 1 | Tooth abscess | Panick attacks, derealization, anxiety, stomach issues, ringing in ears | Had to stop stop 5 days in to 7 day rx. I was taking good probiotics with it. It wrecked my brain. Thought I was stuck like that. Unbelievable sides. Almost 2 weeks off and still dealing with lingering mental issues but it is getting better. | M | 53 | 5 days 150mg 3X day | 11/10/2023 | 1 | I have anxiety disorder and this pill worsen my anxiety 100000x.

I had reflux, abdominal discomfort, a very bad taste in my mouth, and fatigue. It is an effective medicine, and I did feel better day 1. Most antibiotics have side effects that are unpleasant, and I tolerate this better than Biaxin or Azithromycin. I don't want to finish it but I will do so as the consequences of not doing so are worse than the side effects. | Try to take this with food, and take/increase your probiotic intake while on this to prevent diarrhea.
