| 4 | Sinus Infection | Although my sinus infection felt better after one dose, I feel horrible. I am exhausted, weak, jittery, very restless at night. My stomach is a mess, gas, loose bowels, cramps, and feel hungry and rumbling all day. I am depressed and feel like I have the Flu or Lyme. I don't think I can finish it....7 days to go! | Will never take again! | F | 44 | 3 days | 12/3/2009 | 4 | sinus infection | rumble in stomach, fatigue | Prescribed a twice-daily 10 day rx. Sinus started to clear after a week, then stalled out...only felt-half better. I smoke 4 cigarettes daily and dr. told me to totally stop smoking, as it abets infection. I cut down to only ONE cig but dr. read me riot act, so I stopped the 1 cig & the infection stopped completely. | M | 57 | 10 days | 11/24/2009 | 3 | Bronchiectasis/chest infection | I'm on day 4 of a 10 day course. So far, queasiness and unpleasant headaches. The chest infection has definitely improved though. | M | 47 | 4 days | 11/24/2009 | 1 | Inner ear/Sinus infection | Watery diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, bad headache, stiff neck, difficulty sleeping. | Side effects started on day 2 and got worse as treatment progressed. Have called Dr. to be put on something else. Treatment was worse than the original illness in this case. Never again! | F | 46 | 7 days | 11/19/2009 | 3 | sinus infection | gas,loose stools,rash/itching,yeast infection | the itching started day 7. the sinus infection was significantly better. the side effects required another MD visit. over the counter products didn't help to fix them. I won't take this medication again | F | 47 | 10 days | 11/18/2009 | 4 | sinusitis | dry persistent cough | M | 63 | 3 days | 11/16/2009 | 5 | Painful sinus infection | None | Approx. 6 hours after taking my first dose I noticed a decrease in symptoms. I am now on my 4th dose out of 20 (2x per day for 10 days) and just finished a hard cardio workout for the first time in weeks. Augmentin is just revved up amox. so it's nothing to be afraid of unless you are allergic to ammox. Just take a probiotic the whole time and take it with a meal and you'll be fine. | F | 43 | 2 days | 11/11/2009 | 3 | Sinus Infection | Extreme fatigue, neck pain, nausea, loss of appetite | I was prescribed Amox-Clav 875, also known as Augumentin 875 for a sinus infection. I saw no improvement in my sinus symptoms until day 5 - I am not at day 6 and am finally starting to feel like my sinuses are improving. I did however see an immediate improvement in my mild acne which was a pleaseant surprise. I also experienced severe neck pain with this drug on day 3 often feel waves of nausea. | F | 25 | 6 days | 11/10/2009 | 4 | Sinus infection. | Lethargic, constant migraine 5+ days, naseua, random sharp stomach pains, neck pain, joint pain, night sweats. | I have taken augmentin in the past . I always ask for it when i go to the doctor because it gets the job done right and the first time around. This is probably my fourth time taking this drug and ive never had side effects until this time around. It is awful.... | F | 20 | 10 days | 10/26/2009 | 4 | Ear and Sinus Infection | Stomach cramps, diarrhea, and headaches in the morning. | This medication is probably best taken before or after a meal to have something in your stomach. A few times hanging out with my girlfriend I took the medication with a glass of milk or water and that was usually the nights I'd get gas, cramps, and eventually diarrhea. There's nothing wrong as far as the medication working, just make sure you take it with something to try and make it easier on the stomach. | M | 24 | 2 weeks | 10/21/2009 | 1 | Bronchitis | Explosive diarrhea, fatigue, flu like feeling. Lots of gas and bloating. Just a downright sick feeling. | This was an awful drug. Dr game me a shot then a prescription for this drug. Don't know why he gave me this instead of the normal antibiotic I get. I took for 3 days and quit. I couldn't stand the side effects. Will make sure I never take this drug again. | F | 62 | 3 days | 10/21/2009 | 4 | bronchitis | I have taken this medicine many times and have never experienced any negative side effects from it. Augmentin is a medicine that works very well for me with no problems. | F | 30 | 10 days | 10/17/2009 | 2 | Sinus infection | Stomach hurts, like there is an ulcer, bloating, gas, and not really hungry at all. | I was home on day 7 and 8 from work feeling like I had the flu. Decided this morning to see if there was any information on the internet that describes the way I am feeling. Glad I found this site. Feeling better now, but not sure if it is because I skipped a couple doses or if I really did have the flu? | M | 39 | 8 days | 10/17/2009 | 1 | Bronchitis / pneumonia | diarrhea, nausea, extreme fatigue, sick-feeling all the time | I am so glad I found this site. I have been taking Augmentin for 5 days now (into 10 day cycle). I seriously thought there was something very wrong with me. I have never taken an antibiotic where I didn't feel better within a few days of starting the drug. I actually feel a LOT worse than when I started it (when I was diagnosed with early pneumonia!) I am exhausted...I'm constantly nauseated...but most important, I feel like I'm walking around with the flu. I'm going to call my pharmacist and see if they will put me on something else to finish off the dose. I don't want to just quit - because I know that is a "no-no" when it comes to antibiotics - but I don't think I can keep this up. I have 3 kids under the age of 5! | F | 39 | 10 days | 10/16/2009 | 3 | Diverticulitis | back pain between the shoulder blades, level of 4 to 5. | I actually went to the chiropractor thinking this pain was something in my back. I figured it was the augmentin when I got adjusted twice and the pain didn't go away in the 3 days after getting adjusted. Getting adjusted usually feels great and works very very well. I skipped the augmentin for 1 day after the second adjustment, and noticed the pain went away. I started the augmentin up again the following day and the pain CAME RIGHT BACK, same area, same level. It is the augmentin 875 | F | 42 | 4 days | 10/15/2009 | 2 | For a sinus infection | nausea and diarrhea | I have never had any problems before taking Augmentin but for some reason this time it has caused some major side effects. | F | 27 | 3 days | 9/16/2009 | 2 | Strep/Tonsillitis | Headaches, stomach pains, loose stools, dry mouth, change of taste in foods, kidney pains?... | I had never taken Augmentin 875-125 before. I am not sure why my doctor gave me this instead of the regular amoxicillan. My strep (sore throat part) seemed to disappear after being on the meds for 3 days. Nasal passages cleared up quickly too. However, by the 5th day, I was feeling very mild/weak pain in my kidney area. Headaches still, always thirsty, and nothing tastes right. I have to take this for 10 days and hoping to make it. I know that I am much happier to be over strep, but I will just try to avoid augmentin next time. | F | 27 | 10 days | 9/13/2009 | 1 | Possible Ear Infection | Horrible diarrhea and bloating, crying jags, depression (clinically diagnosed depressed folks, BEWARE!), weakness, flu-like symptoms) | God bless anyone that can wing it for the entire 10-days (or more, God love ya!). I quit at dose 1 of the 7th day. Today is what would have been day 10, and my joints ache, I'm super depressed, my head hurts badly - with no relief from OTC's, my head is swimming, and I generally fell "unwell." I supplemented with probiotics and citrucel to manage the loose stools, but the drug wiped out everything else in my body; good, bad, and indifferent. I am feeling horrible and flu-like, and am due to take a pleasure trip in 7 days. I have been calling prayer lines, meditating, and repeating positive affirmations to get me through this. I feel simply awful, and I know that it is not just me. OH! And my f**** ear STILL HURTS! | F | 44 | 7 days | 9/10/2009 | 2 | Sinus Infection | Exhaustion, heart palpitations, dizziness, trembling, increased hunger, irritable bowel, gas, hot flashes, anxiety, insomnia, confusion. Headaches, although not sure if related to ongoing infection or the antibiotic. | I realized that I had a sinus infection after a week of constant worsening headaches with no relief. Went to the doc and since he felt my sinus infection was in the bone he prescribed Augmention 875. I have been taking it for a week now and am still having horrible sinus pain, which you'd think with this heavy duty drug it would knock the infection out pretty quickly. I still have a week left and am not sure how I will deal with it. I feel like I have the flu! My eyes are sunken in, and I have huge purple circles under my eyes from exhaustion. I am shaky and sweaty and hungry and gassy. Not to mention the insomnia. I have never taken an antibiotic that has made me wonder if I didn't have something more serious than what I was diagnosed as having! I would rather have surgery than take this again. It better get rid of the infection is all I have to say....looks doubtful at this point. | F | 29 | 7 days | 9/2/2009 | 3 | Abscess tooth / possibly sinus | Back of my legs feel achey. | I was put on penacillin(sp) for an abcsess tooth I had pulled Monday, however, when the tooth was pulled it interrupted my sinuses so after an ER visit I was put on augmentin 875 twice a day to rid any possible sinus problem and abcsess. Today the back of my legs feel sore, like I ran too much or something. I've also been spacey and sleeping nonstop but I am not sure if it is the antibiotic or percocet I was prescribed doing this. I also feel a bit under the weather, but I cannot eat much due to my tooth and again am not sure if it's from antiboitic or percocet. I guess I will see as it goes. | F | 19 | 2 days | 8/26/2009 |
