| 2 | Severe chest cold - going around. | Severe stomach upset with food. Diarrhea ending with anal yeast infection. | For me, this drug is too strong. I have taken Amoxicillin with no issues. I took only three Augmenten 875 before stopping. | F | 1.5 times 875 2X day | 12/10/2014 | 2 | Bronchitis | I started taking augmentin yesterday but then I woke up at 5:30 and had what I think was a beginning of a migraine my head was throbbing and I was really nauseous for like 2 hours I had to go to walmart and get some Tylenol but I fell asleep for like two hours and my headache is still slightly there but the nausea has gone away I think. It might have been from not eating food with this medication. But I was miserable this morning. | F | 27 | 1 days 875-175Mg | 12/4/2014 | 5 | to clear dental infection after root canal | The Augmentin 875 mg was very effective and cleared up my painful dental infection. I always took it with a meal as the pharmacist said to and had no side effects. I think it's a good medicine. | My endodontist prescribed a strong antibiotic to treat a deep dental infection post root-canal. He suggested Clindomycin or Augmentin; I chose the latter. The 875 mg dose sounded high to me, and I feared I'd get intestinal problems or bad diarrhea as I've occasionally gotten from other antibiotics. I tolerate penicillin meds well, though I believe Ampicillin once gave me bad diarrhea. My internist suggested I also take a probiotic (Phillips Colon Health) to minimize intestinal sx & to continue it a week after finishing Augmentin. I haven't taken a probiotic before & accidentally bought Phillips Digestive Health chewables instead. I also bought Schiff's Digestive Health tabs which has different cultures. The first 2 days I took one of each of those. I disliked the mint taste of Phillips Digestive Health chewables & on the 3rd day found the recommended Phillips Colon Health so I took 1 capsule. Had a little stomach cramping that evening so decided not to take that again. I was unsure how to take a probiotic as I found conflicting info, such as: take it with a meal, take it far apart from the antibiotic or take it 2-3 hours after it etc. I decided to not take any more probiotics until I understood them better so I took the Augmentin the last 4 days w/o taking any probiotic & had no intestinal or other symptoms. I've finished the 7 days of Augmentin and feel it was an effective and problem-free antibiotic for me. I would definitely take it again if it were prescribed | F | 75 | 7 days 875 mg 2X day | 11/27/2014 | 1 | Blocked saliva gland | On about day 5 my lips felt severly chapped they were burning and red to the point they were peeling. Four days later after stopping my lips are still on fire. This happened once before on a 500 mg. I will never take it again. | F | 55 | 5 days 875 | 11/25/2014 | 3 | sinus infection | Other than headaches and loose bowels I didn't have much problems with this medication.... Until last night when I took a pill at midnight before going to bed, with no food. I woke up at 5am with horrible stomach cramps,nausea,vomiting,bloating,chills.I thought I had the stomach virus! Then I realized the huge mistake I made by not eating anything with this medication and wondered if my symptoms were the result of that.By reading all these reviews I feel confident that is not the stomach virus but a side effect from talking this medication on an empty stomach. | F | 45 | 6 days 125 mg 2x | 11/24/2014 | 1 | sinus infection | Extreme anxiety and depression, fatigue, heart pounding, dizziness & light headedness | Did not clear up sinus infection. Will never take this again. | F | 57 | 10 days 875 mg 2X day | 11/19/2014 | 1 | Sinusitis | Heart pounding, anxiety, sweating, throwing up. After just one dose I woke up in the middle of the night from a bad nightmare only to find my heart racing. I was drenched in sweat and felt more nervous by the second. Eventually I started to throw up. Still felt weak and nervous for hours after that. Didn't continue with Augmentin. Had taken it before for a throat infection but not this high a dosage. | F | 33 | 5 days 3xD | 11/10/2014 | 3 | Sinus, Ear Inf. & Strep Throat | Light headedness,dizziness, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, serious diarrhea, stomach cramps, headaches & bad yeast infection. | Will NOT take medicine again. It cleared up my sinus & ear infection & Strep but side effects were miserable. Took several days to clear up my sore throat. | F | 44 | 10 days 875mg | 11/6/2014 | 2 | post nasal drip | Made my head and neck hurt I stop taken it the ER Dr prescribed to me.Will talk to my ENT Dr. | F | 36 | 3 days 875 | 11/5/2014 | 1 | Supposed Sinus Infection | This gave me New Daily Persistent Headache and ruined my entire life. | M | 22 | 1 days | 10/12/2014 | 4 | Prostatitis | Had to take this antibiotic for 21 days 2x a day. Side effects... Hard time sleeping (insomnia) Mild mood swings. Very tired body feeling. I will say this. My main concern was how this drug was going to affect my stomach. (I have Gastritis) But I did not bother my stomach at all. | Any man who has had Prostatitis knows it can be ruff. You have to take a high dose of antibiotics for weeks. work with your Urologist on finding the best antibiotic for you. | M | 34 | 21 days 875-125 2X day | 10/10/2014 | 1 | Infection under fingernail | Intense stomach cramps followed by bloody intense diarrhea and rectal bleeding. | I was put on Augmentin after Keflex did not clear up my infection. had no side effects with Keflex. On the 2nd day taking Augmentin the intense stomach cramps started. Half way thru the 3rd day the severe diarrhea started. Stopped taking the Augmentin. Then the diarrhea became bloody followed by severe rectal bleeding which lasted 2 days after I stopped taking the Augmentin. | M | 64 | 2.5 days 875 2X day | 10/6/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection | I had taken Augmentin a year ago for pneumonia. This time after 3 days: night sweats, anxiety, depression, insomnia, stomach cramps, acid reflux (felt like about to vomit but didn't). Took a lot of acidophilus with the medication and thought I was fine. Body chemistry changes all the time...and the pills are huge. (122 lbs, 5"3). Seems like less would do it. Never again.
