 1  Sinus infection I am 32 weeks pregnant and fwlt I was going to die and almost called 911 twice. Two hours after first dose, on toilet with a bucket in hand throwing up violently and watery diarrhea. I stayed there for an hour and 45 minutes. Sweating profusely and pulse of 120, resting. I realized it was dehydration and in getting up to rehydrate, bot legs cramped up leaving me unable to walk. I had been severely sick off 875 mg but the superinfection I had required Augmentin, so we decided to risk it, at a lower dose. I thought I'd be okay but NEVER again will I take this medicine. I was seriously scared for my life. F 37 10 days

 3  Acute Sinusitis Nausea, Heartburn, Restlessness, Mild Diarrhea: -possible- Sciatic nerve flare-up* I've taken various antibiotics in the past several years for different reasons (ie, Amoxicillin, Z-pack, Penicillin, etc) & honestly, other than a few very minor stomach upsets, never really experienced major side effects. Last November I was prescribed a strangely high dose of Augmentin (875mg x twice a day) for what I truly believed was a minor case of Sinusitis. On the fourth day, I woke up with an absolutely excruciating case of Sciatica down my left leg. The days preceding, I had a slight tense feeling in the same leg but thought nothing of it until all hell finally broke loose. It took a full 5 weeks to somewhat recover from the miserable, debilitating pain. *However, what needs to be mentioned is the fact that the month before, I had been in a minor car crash & since then, my back and legs never felt quite right. While I'm 100% sure this was a pre-existing, dormant issue already, I tend to believe that the Augmentin may have contributed to the flare-up. Fast forward to last week: I was put on Augmentin, 875mg yet -again- for a sinus infection despite my protests (the doctor assured this didn't cause the sciatic nerve pain the previous time). However, shortly after taking the first two doses, my left leg felt like it was starting to ache more than usual. I immediately stopped taking it twice a day and the pain lessened after 24 hours or so. Additionally, I did suffer very minor side effects like nausea and diarrhea however taking a probiotic vitamin twice a day REALLY, REALLY helped to nearly entirely fix these issues. I highly recommend taking probiotic supplements with antibiotics. Overall, Augmentin did appear to fix my sinus issues and do its job, but I would like to give a word of caution to those with pre-existing nerve/joint issues, ESPECIALLY Sciatica: while I -know- it didn't cause my sciatic nerve problem, I'm pretty convinced the very high dose may have caused the flare-up itself or at least contributed to it.

 1  Ear Infection (that I did not have) Took first pill at 4pm, by 7pm the watery explosive bowl movements started, followed by vomiting around 1am, at 4am I took a second pill, after using the bathroom ~12 times before 9am I realized it was the antibiotic that was causing the problem. Called doctor, eventually went back in. A second doctor told me that I did not have an ear infection and that augmentin was notorious for severe side effects. He didn't understand why the first doctor prescribed it to me. I discontinued use after the second pill. I last took a pill 24hrs ago, but I am writing you this from on the toliet. It is bad bad bad. I really am upset at the prescribing doctor! The side effects are not worth taking this medicine!!!! M 31 1 days

 1  Strep throat What a great way to lose 3lbs in one night! If you don't mind puking up blood.....After one hour of taking this pill (after dinner) I had severe vomitting for three hours every fifteen minutes along with sweating and the shakes! So bad that I almost choked on my vomit by aspirating it! The next morning came the diarhea. I thought I had food poisoning because the symptoms were the same. I waited one day to let my stomach regroup so i could eat solids to take the antibiotic again. I ate breakfast today and took half of a pill this time and within an hour i had the same symptoms, but not as horrible as the first night. I think since i had cut the pill in half it did not affect me as strong as the first time. I now realize it was not food poisoning but the antibiotics. I will never take this med again!!!! I have never experienced something like this before and I warn you...stay away and have your doc give you something else! I'm still shitting my pants and I think I'm down 4lbs now...but not worth the suffering. Especially when you have an infant baby to take care of! F 35 2 days

 1  Strep Nausea, terrible stomach cramps, diahrrea, loss of appetite, exhaustion. I haven't been on antibiotics in years - I have no idea why my doctor prescribed augmentin instead of penicillin. I've stopped taking it because the augmentin made me just as sick as the strep. It's been 36 hours since I took my last pill and i'm still doubled over in agony. I will never, ever take this pill again. F 25 10 days

 5  upper respitory infection Nothing to really complain about....just extremely tired! But was told that was the infection, not the medication. I've taken this medication several times & never had problems. The people that have upset stomachs should try eating before taking this....that definately helps me! Have had loss in my appetite, but not complaining about that :) F 34 10 days
