| 1 | Tooth infection | heart palpitations, no appetite, severe anxiety, diarrhea, no energy. | F | 57 | 2 days 200mg 3X day | 11/9/2020 | 1 | Tooth pain pre-root canal infection | Last day of taking my prescription and scheduled for root canal I broke out in a rash all over my torso. Felt very sick for about 2 weeks, knew something was very wrong with my tummy, then got extremely sick and found out I had C-diff. Cost over $2,000 to get medicine to treat C-diff because I had to treat it twice. It was Hell. | When I asked pharmacist about side effects, he said maybe some diarrhea. I thought no big deal. VERY BIG DEAL. Research afterward discovered this antibiotic is known for causing C-diff which is highly contagious by the way. I could have been prescribed any other antibiotic that I had taken before. Ask why you are being prescribed this drug and take something else if possible. It is not worth the risk as others will do what it does without the risk. If you have to take it, be sure to take probiotics with it and for a while afterward just to give your body a chance to recover. You should probably do that with any antibiotic. Just take them opposite time you take medicine because they cancel each other out. Learned a lot after my experience. Wish doctors would do more than just prescribe drugs. I could have been prepared or avoided this altogether if I would have had some communication, but it wasnt my doctor, it was a dentist that prescribed it and did not ask any questions about what I had tolerated in the past. They should consult with your doctor first or ask you questions if they have never treated you before. Otherwise, it's up to you to be aware. | F | 46 | 10 days 4X day | 11/10/2020 | 1 | rash on foot | Knots in stomach also got tired and just felt like crap after I started this crap...

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.

Was given this ABX to treat a tooth abscess, have been taking it as directed, with a full glass of water and food. The morning after I started taking it I felt very confused, dizzy, brain fog and just generally very "off". Not able to think clearly, chest palpitations, very weak and zero energy. I've gone from running 4 miles every day to not being able to mow my own lawn. I am stopping this medicine immediately and will be seeing my PCP. | F | 49 | 6 days 150 4X day | 5/7/2022 | 1 | precautionary post root canal fail. | my new first place horrific-panic attack that landed me in the ER. extreme anxiety. convinced i was dying. absolutely could not calm myself down with methods i use for my regular panic attacks. hyperventilating, and absolutely could not catch my breath. fainted. mouth tasted like i had just chewed twenty five 9 volt batteries. | *unless you are giving this for the purpose of destroying your enemies, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THiS POiSON!* 10 minutes after taking my first dose, i started to feel racy, my heart beating quicker. i got into the tub to try to relax, but i continued to feel more and more anxiety, and was unable to catch my breath. i immediately tried to diagnose the issue, and looked up reviews to see if increasing anxiety was common. Made it through 2 reviews before the most intense and frightening panic attack of my life initiated. my heart was beating faster than every humming bird combined, and i was hyperventilating and sobbing. i was certain i was going to die, and begged my mother to take me to the ER. i fainted, woke up and took 3 ativan which didn't calm me down whatsoever. i went to the ER and was given xanax, as well as diazepam. an hour later i finally got control of myself, got home, and flushed the rest of the bottle down the toilet. i'm deathly allergic to penicillin, sulfas, and amoxicillin…and will now add this horror story of a medication to that list. DON'T TAKE if you have an anxiety/panic disorder, or you may just end up in hell. | F | 28 | 1 days 150 MG 4X day | 5/28/2022 | 1 | Tooth extraction | While on this drug I feel anxiety & panic.
