Loss of any activities as I feel weak and sick all over. Had no idea this would happen | Don't think I'll ever take again if at all possible to avoid. | F | 47 | 14 days 875MG 2X day | 8/2/2011 | 1 | strep throat | Nausea, diarrhea, weakness, extreme fatigue, headaches | This drug did not work for me. 5 days after starting the med I was still in extreme pain. I Continued to be in pain for 2 weeks so it took me 2&1/2 weeks to recover and then I had it again which I am told was most likely due to the meeds (amoxicillin) not being effective the first time around. | F | 31 | 10 days 500 mg 3X day | 7/21/2011 | 2 | Bronchitis/Sore Throat | After taking my meds I experienced extreme (EXTREME) tiredness and a very spaced out feeling. I have no desire to do anything or be active like I usually am. Not experiencing the diarreah and other symptoms listed, just very tired all of the time. | F | 37 | 10 days 875mg 1X day | 3/26/2011 | 3 | sinusitis | panic attacks, back pain, leg pain, dizzy, lightheaded,exhausted, depressed, insomnia, feel psychotic, stiff neck,legs and arms feel heavy, heart palpatations. | I feel crazy on this medication. But it seems to be clearing up the sinus infection. My face was swollen the infection so bad and I had an infected area in my nose. All of these things appear to be getting better. But every night when I lay down to go to sleep, I start having panic attacks, heart palpatations, chills, sweats, shaking, tingling, every symptom of a panic attack. So bad that I start hyperventalating. I have to sit up. When I sit up, I start to feel better slowly, but as soon as I lay down again... they're back. I'm on day 3 of this medicine and now I'm starting to have them during the day too. I also feel like there's no hope. I'm so depressed. I have a dendency toward depression, anxiety and OCD, so this is causing it to be sooo much worse. This medication is causing me to constantly think I'm dying. I just want to get off this med! But I'm scared to, cause I am scared the infection will come back and then it will go into meningitis. I'm so terrified of everything. My paranoia is so high right now. Every pain and pinch and little thing I feel, I freak out! I'm so tired. The insomnia is horrible. I've barely slept. I can't wait until this med is done... I never want to take it again! | F | 33 | 10 days 875mg 2X day | 2/9/2011 | 3 | Infected Wisdom tooth | Rapid heartbeat, insomnia, confusion, anxiety, panic attacks, SEIZURES, depression, attempted suicide | I've taken Amoxicillin since I was a baby. However, for this infection I was taking 2,000mg per day (500mg 4x/day) - highest dose I've ever seen for anything. The first day I developed insomnia, and things just went downhill from there. By day 7, I was having panic attacks every half hour, SEIZURES, couldn't sleep a wink, and sliced my wrists open with my own fingernails. I stopped it at this point despite being RXed for 8 days - it was making my INSANE. The next day I began to calm down, and within a few days I was back to my old self. The infection cleared but it took 5 days and it came back before my extraction appt. All in vain. Seems I have worse side effects at higher doses. At more normal doses (e.g., 250mg/3x.day) I never got these whacko crazy mental changes. | F | 24 | 8 days 500 4X day | 1/30/2011 | 2 | UTI | No side effects just didn't get rid of my UTI, was still having high fevers after 10 days. Went to the ER found out the infection was in my kidneys and the attending was perplexed as to why I was given this, he said most bacterias are now immune to amoxicillian. | Was given a rocephine injection and the fevers are gone. | F | 30 | 10 days 500mg 3X day | 1/5/2011 | 1 | tooth extraction | Developed C Diff, a horrible toxin that was caused by killing all the bacteria in my gut. I had explosive diarrhea the third day on it and it continues 2 weeks later. | Take probiotics when you take this drug. I did not and paid the price. | M | 58 | 6 days 2X day | 12/27/2010 | 4 | Pneumonia | I am extrememly sensitive to most all meds; you name it, I react to it. So, when I got pneumonia, I was scared to death. I read on the internet that Levaquin, and amoxicillin are both indicated for pneumonia. Since Levaquin is a fluoroquinolone, and I cannot tolerate that, I was at no other choice but to give the old school a shot. The first night I took one 500 mg pill, I had horrible insomnia. The doctor said that I needed to take at least 3 days on three pills of 500mg. UGH. The insomnia made me CRAZY. I was given a Trazodone to help sleep; MORE INSANE, went to ER. Then, finally I was able to go on 2 pills of 500 mg per day. My insomnia stopped. I did feel very foggy headed however. I had to do the 14 days instead of the normal 10, because I did 2 times per day instead of 10. The pneumonia went away. | After having completed the course, a DARK deep depression set in. Yuck. The sleep I got was what I would term, "surface sleep", not deep, restorative sleep. I went on the internet and read about the "gut-brain" relationship. I have intrepidations about pro-biotic pills, so I decided to have yogurt. I went to Whole Foods Market, and bought a particular yogurt called White Mountain Bulgarian Yogurt. I had a cup of this on an empty stomach, and within 20 minutes, the dark depression lifted. WOW! There is a problem with yogurt however, if you still have bronchitis, you see, yogurt (and all dairy) makes mucus, which is the LAST thing you want. It can actually make your bronchitis WORSE. Therefore, I think maybe coconut yogurt might be best, even though it tastes nasty. So, I give Amoxicillin (Teva) a 4- It did its job, but the insomnia really sucked. Oh, also after 4 days of having completed the course, the side effects were gone. | F | 41 | 14 days 500 2X day | 9/25/2010 |
