 1  Severe Sinusitis I took 1 pill twice a day. Rx was for 7 days but I had to quit after 3 days because my stomach hurt so bad & had diarrhea. I quit taking it four days ago and I still feel like I could throw up or have a loose stool at ANY time without warning. This is terrible. The side effects are far worse than the sinusitis it's supposed to treat. I've been told by doctor to eat yogurt and take lactobacillus acidophilus supplements until the good bacteria are fully replaced in my digestive tract. Augmentin kills both good & bad bacteria, so eating yogurt & taking supplements will help. F 37 3 days

 4  Sinus Severe cramps, headache, fatigue Day 3 three severe cramps, could not function, however had this sinus thing going on for too long. Amoxicillin did not clear up infection so Dr. put me on this. Was going to stop but needed to get better so stayed with it. I doubled up on yogurt, gingerale and pepto and felt much better in a day.

 1  severe sinusitis I had sinusitis on the right side of my face with severe jaw pain and thick yellow greenish drainage. Three days after taking Augmentin,I developed mild odorless diarrhea 3-4 times daily. No cramps then, just diarrhea. The sinus pain and mucus left,but I developed facial numbness on that side, which I still have.I finished the 10 day dose on Monday. By Thursday I had unbearable stomach cramps, with light colored semi-solid feces that contained undigested food. I have never seen my feces look like this. I started having 15-25 small strange looking & strange smelling BM'S/day. I would have a BM after eating or drinking anything. A sip of water or even chewing gum. The cramps felt like I was going to have an enormous dump or diarrhea. The cramps had me bent over almost in tears. A week has passed and I am still having after effects from Augmentin. From this point on my Dr will have to prescribe a different antibiotic. The cramps were more painful than the jaw pain caused by the sinus infection. I am currently taking Prilosec,Dicyclomine, Probiotics,and Immodium/Dr. To me it's just not worth taking. F 52 10 days

 1  Sinusitis Half Way Through The 10 Day Treatment I Ended Up In The ER Twice Convinced I Was Having A Stroke. I Experienced Facial Numbness, Tingling In My Left Arm, Stiffness In My Neck, Brain Fog, Unbearable Pain And Pressure At The Base Of My Skull. I Am Lethargic And Weak. CT Scan And MRI Found Nothing And The Inept Doctors Made No Connection Between The Drug And My Symptoms. Their Diagnosis Varied From Lyme Disease To Mind Over Matter. This drug should be banned. The side effects do not justify the benefit. A week after taking the drug, I am feeling worse than I did when I started. I hope that the numbness in my left arm and malaise resolve with time. Why my doctor would prescribe such a high dose for mild sinusitis is beyond me. I have lost all faith in doctors and pharmaceuticals because of this horrific experience. F 34 5 days

 1  Sinus/ear infection Very loose/muddy stools almost immediately, then abdominal pain by day 3, which became excruciating, then vomiting even though I had taken with food. Really helped the sinus and ear infections, but completely sidelined me. It was awful. F 57 3 days

 4  respiratory infection mild diarrhea this is the only antibiotic that clears up my respiratory/sinus infections every time. Other antibiotics I'm either allergic to or I have to take 2 rounds of for about 20 days because they are not strong enough. I do have mild stomach problems for a few days but the side effects are worth feeling better F 30 10 days

 2  Sinus Infection Severe stomach cramps/burning pain in my stomach I was prescribed a 10 day course. The first few days I had some mild stomach upset, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Nothing too serious. However, on day 5, I woke up in the middle of the night with severe stomach pain; I had horrible burning pain in my stomach that extended into my chest. I still took my pill the next morning since I didn't immediately associate the pain with the antibiotic. Big mistake. I became very nauseous and was literally doubled over with pain; burning and cramping that extended into my chest, back and throat spasms, etc. By that evening, I was in agony. My husband wanted to take me to the ER but I was able to get through it with a ton of antacids and gas-x. It has been over 24 hours since I took the last pill and my stomach still hurts. But at least I am no longer in excruciating pain. I honestly thought I was dying. F 44 6 days

 4  Severe Ear Infection Occasional diarrhea; mild nausea; yeast infection Took this to protect my perforated eardrums from further infection. They healed up just fine and I felt much better within about 4 days of treatment. Do take a probiotic with it, though, as it will mess up your gut flora and can cause yeast infections/thrush.

 1  Sinus infection I took my 1st dose Sunday evening, right after dinner. I went in to Urgent Care to relief the pressure I was feeling around my eyes. I woke up early Monday morning, 4-5am, with my heart racing and soon to be the worst dry heaving experience of my life. I was sweating so bad and was shaking uncontrollably! I did this about 4x. Later in the day, I felt feverish, with the worst body aches, and super groggy! I called back my Urgent Care doctor and he told me I had the flu. I suggested switching my antibiotic and never had those symptoms again!!! It was not the flu, but the antibiotic. Do yourself a favor, do not take this medication!!! F 25 1 days

 1  diverticulitis I am having the worst anxiety/panic/depression. As well I feel physically ill. It is completely disrupting my life and my families life. There is no question the symptoms are from this medication. I wake up and have a great day until about an hour or less after I have to take my first dose of the day. I have taken it for my first 8th day dose and hoping to the good Lord my doc will tell me I can stop. The change it has made on me is observed by my entire family. I am a man that has emotion, but nothing like this. For the last week my family watches me bust out in tears randomly throughout the day. It has to seem as if I'm going nuts. Or, I guess I actually am M 39 8 days

 2  Sinus infection Severe anxiety about nothing, even though I knew everything was ok, made it hard to function. Feelings of worry. Increased blood pressure, heart pounding, changes in breathing pattern, hyperventilating, insomnia, but sleepy when not trying to sleep. Rash after stopping. I'm a pharmacist, and have taken augmentin many times previously with no ill effects. Myself and other pharmacists I work with never knew of the anxiety this could cause. It was terrible. The anxiety started after 4 days, I thought it was from the Sudafed, so I stopped taking that, but the anxiety continued. I would wake early at around 5 am and could not go back to sleep as my mind raced. Then I would have a bm at 5 am for 3 days. The anxiety about the anxiety made it worse. It would be worse in am, dissipate in the afternoon, and return in the evening. It's 4 days since I've stopped taking this. Even though it's been out my system for that long the anxiety is finally subsiding. It gradually got better ever day. I've never had a feeling like this. I couldn't control it, and it was scary. M 31 6 days
