| 4 | sore throat, bronchitis | No side effects noticed, not even the stomach upset. | After ten days this finally seemed to clear up a lung infection that started with a swollen throat two weeks earlier. But three days later I still have a lingering ear infection and doctor has prescribed Avelox, but it is one of the lowest rated meds on this site due to side effects and I am hesitant to take it. | M | 52 | 10 days 1000 1X day | 6/22/2010 | 4 | Throat Infection | The only side effect I noticed from Amoxicillin was that it left me lethargic, feeling of mallaise. | Amoxicillin did the job. Outside of the lethargy, I did not experience any substantial/noticeable side effects. | M | 30 | 10 days ? 2X day | 6/7/2010 | 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. In this case I had to stop at day 3 | 37 | 3 days | 12/7/2009 | 1 | tooth infection | severe back pain, high fever, cramps, dizziness, after taking only two doses | my doctor told me in phone to quit immediately. the pains subsided after seven hours of agony. i had interstitial nephritis and i was told never to use this species of antibiotics because taking them would lead into renal failure next time. i was prescribed another antibiotics that suited me and cured the infection. | F | 49 | 1 days | 8/26/2009 | 3 | Swollen lymph glands & sore throat | Meds worked great other than causing me to get Bacterial Vaginosis. | F | 19 | 10 days | 7/30/2009 | 2 | prior root canal | on the 7th dose i got severe stomach pain and vomiting | i was on a high dose...500 mg 4xs a day so maybe that's why | F | 39 | 2 days | 3/30/2009 | 2 | Upper Respiratory Infection | I've been on it for 5 days now for the first time in 10 years. I feel like I'm under water, horrible head ache, sinus drainage, itchy & sore throat, jaw pain, light headed | F | 34 | 5 days | 11/13/2008 | 4 | Bacterial Sinus Infection | abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea | Worked well. Cleared up infection. Due to GI side effects listed here, especially diarrhea, (during treatment they subsided then returned after treatment) had stool test for c. difficile infection, came out negative. I would recommend you check with your doctor if during or after treatment with amoxicillin you get these symptoms: frequent diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, fever. | F | 38 | 10 days | 9/12/2008 | 4 | Urinary Tract Infection | Horrendous headaches, nausea, flu-like symptoms and fever. I'll never take this med again. I'm sensitive to many anti-biotics, so I hope there's still something out there I CAN take! | I think that as we age, we become far more sensitive to meds than when we were younger. This one almost had me running to the ER. NEVER AGAIN! | F | 63 | 2 days | 9/7/2008 | 3 | Possible Strep Throat | I developed thrush, my tongue and gums and the inside of my entire mouth was covered with sores and bled. This happened 2 days after starting the drug. I had to get Nystatin swish and swallow to clear up the thrush. So far, I am still using the Nystatin after 2 days and I am still in pain. I also had fatigue and irritability. | My sore throat did seem to clear up pretty quickly after starting amoxicillin, but I am not sure if the side effects were worth it. | M | 32 | 5 days | 8/5/2008 | 1 | root canal | i took 500mg 3 times a day before a root canal procedure. This medication gave me a yeast infection which caused immense physical pain and discomfort. i was put on more antibiotics to clear up the infection and the new pills, particularly Cipro, gave me the worst side effects and kept me in bed throughout. | im never taking this again. my sister also took it a few years back for her root canal. she turned out to be allergic and got steven johnson's disease. she had rashes all over her body, was hospitalized and almost died. prescription drugs are horrible, there has got to be a better way. | F | 27 | 7 days | 3/14/2008 | 2 | Prevent infection after surgery | Severely upset stomach. | I ended up getting an intestinal infection after taking this medication. | F | 23 | 7 days | 10/3/2007 | 4 | Urinary Tract Infection | Had diarrhea and vomiting and was told by my physician to take Flora Q when I have to take Amoxicillin. | F | 71 | 10 days | 9/2/2007 | 4 | Post-op surgical site infection | None | I took this after a round of Keflex failed for a post-appendectomy surgical site infection. It appeared to help healing for a swollen, infected incision-now I am just left with a hard, pink scar. | F | 52 | 7 days | 5/11/2007 | 4 | chronic sinusitis | hardly any, mostly dizzyness or light head. | have been taking amoxy for 3 years on and off due to chronic sinusitis. slowly have stronger and stronger doses most recently up to 3000mg a day! finally found cause so can stop antibiotics, but never had a problem and usually cleared up and stopped pain within 24-48hrs | M | 20 | 3 years | 5/6/2007 | 5 | abscessed tooth | I needed this to kill the infection. It did the job well. Within 24hours I was feeling better.. I recommend it. I never had any yeast infection or upset tummy. I took it three times a day for seven days.. | F | 60 | 7 days | 4/25/2007 | 5 | Chronic sinus infection | None | Worked very quickly within 24hrs & only took 500mg/3xday! | F | 56 | 5 days | 11/14/2006 | 3 | possible sinus infection | i got thrush | i was taking 2000mg per day for a possible sinus infection, and the dr said i would need to take it long term, about a month or maybe longer. it not only didn't cure my problem, but it caused thrush after about a week and a half or two weeks. i stopped the amoxicillin and had to swish & swallow nystatin to cure the thrush. although i've used amoxicillin in the past for ear infection (which I had to take twice at 1000mg/day) I wont ever take that much again. but it didnt bother my stomach at all as long as I had lots of yogurt. | F | 40 | 2 weeks | 11/4/2006 | 2 | strep throat | cramps, gas, nausea, strong digestive problems, infection came back after a few days | Acidophilis or yogurt eaten anytime daily often relieves digestive problems. Augmentin is better version of this antibiotic and much more desirable and finally cured me. | M | 55 | 10 days | 12/29/2005 | 2 | sinus infection | dizzy, nausea | F | 25 | 10 days | 3/30/2005 |
