 4  Cat Bite / Lingering Bronchitis Diarrhea, Abdominal Pain on Right Side, Right Side of Throat Swollen and Closed After the first two days the cat bite healed well however loose bowel movements ensued two-three times per day. One serving of white basmati rice cleared this up overnight. On the second day I awoke to a very sore throat that progressed to almost complete closure on the right side along with a consistent post nasal drip. Alot of pain on my right side ensued within the first 24 hours as well. If you can stand the side effects, I would recommend this medication for the clearing of the infection of a bite, the bronchitis is gone as well. F 35 4 days

 1  ear/sinus infection diarrea, abdominal pain I took only 1 pill (875 mg). I feel worse than before I started it. I can't understand why any doctor would prescrbe this. F 57 1 days

 1  sinus infection Severe abdominal pain, esp. after breakfast, and when hungry. I took the whole 10-day course (with food) but still have abdominal pain after being done almost 2 weeks. I ate yogurt everyday, and smoothies (w/ extra probiotics) and didn't help. All i can manage in the morning is a yogurt smoothie. Doc recommended mega dosing probiotics for 1 week. It's reduced the pain, unless I eat breakfast or much of anything (bland diet is all I can manage, rice, broth, boring). Sometimes severe cramping, luckily no diarhhea, but my lower back hurts and I always feel like I need to make a BM, but not constipated. If you need to lose weight, this will make you swear off food! I will never take this again!! F 44 10 days

 3  Sinus Infection Diarrhea, vomiting, acid stomach, unable to eat or drink, migraine headache, chills, weakness, extreme fatigue. Took Rx for four days and then spent 3 days vomiting and unable to eat or drink and staying horizontal trying to overcome the side effects. Infection seemed to clear even though full course of med was not taken. Won't take this one again. F 69 4 days

 3  sinusitis No side effects until 4 days - mild constipation, bloating and cramping a few hours after eating. I was really scared to take this pill after reading all of the side effects on here. I did eat a lot of yogurt, but it didn't seem to prevent the digestive issues, which scared me enough to make me stop taking it even though I was not really better. But that's just because I'm a hypochondriac. I wouldn't tell anyone to be afraid of this medication and I would take it again (might have to anyway) but I would look into some type of probiotic supplement. F 30 5 days

 5  Yes Loose stools... Here is the deal, ALL antibiotics have side affects so let's just get that out of the way. The best thing to do is work at not getting sick in the first place then you do not have to deal with side affects. Having said that, with my condition I get sinus infections in a somewhat regular basis. I have even had sinus surgery, my body is not perfect. In any event, Augmentin does in fact cause some G-Trac issues. However, they are *managable* if you do the right things in advance. Get some good organic yogurt, I like Stoneyfield, and eat it regularily ALL the way through the course of your antibiotics. It will either ease or pretty much remove the loose stools problem that others report. As for the tiredness that other people report, I suspect its more related to being SICK. Your body is fighting something for god sake, its not meant to be a fun filled trip. Nonetheless, if you truly have issues advocate for yourself and try something else. *** If you are reading this please tak M 35 14 days

 3  sinus infection, possibly pnuemonia none It really didn't do anything, no side effects at all. However, it also didn't do anything to fight the infection. I have been taking it for 5 days, twice a day, and my infection has only worsened. But the drug had no side effects at all, I could take it on an empty stomach and feel fine. This drug is for people with pretty nasty infections, like severe middle ear infections, but it doesn't work for my sever sinusitis. F 13 14 days

 3  Sinus Infection Insomnia, constipation, confusion/foggy mind, moodiness and depression. Constipation started within 24 hours of starting the meds, and continued throughout the course. Insomnia was brutal, only curtailed by a sleeping pill. 10 day, 2 pill a day course that I think has helped - inner sinus infection only visible with an MRI. Side effects managable, but we'll see if it was worth the trouble. M 40 10 days

 5  Lower RTI/bronchitis The first 12 tablet course is fine, *but* I always need longer than one course and side effects kick in big time by half way through the 2nd course, which is fortunately about when the LRTI clears up. Headaches, nervy stomach, difficult concentrating, aches, progressively worsening. And this time I also got hemospermia (blood in semen), but this is probably unrelated. So far it does clear up the bronchitis mostly. M 51 10 days

 3  Sinus/Ear infection Yeast infection, mild upset stomach. I was glad to be put on this stuff at first. I got through most of the pills, and once I felt entirely better, I stopped taking them... However... This antibiotic gave me a yeast infection like no other. Women beware. ...Eat lots of probiotic yogurt when taking this medicine to avoid such terrible pain as this Yeast Monster... It sucks. But the Augmentin cured my sinus thing. F 17 5 days

 1  Acute Otitis Media (Ear infection) Huge ulcers on my tongue within 24 hrs of taking it. Diarrhea. It actually made the infection worse. When I started on this I had a mild ear infection. Two days later, I had one of the worst ear infections my doctor had seen. I was already in hellacious pain! My eardrum was bulging out getting ready to rupture for the second time. My doctor immediately took me off, and put me on omnicef. I had to go to an ENT Doctor and he did a myringotomy, and put a tube in my ear. If you think that didn't hurt, you should get it done yourself! M 15 3 days

 1  Sinus infection 1st day an intermittent accelerated heart rate/palpitations about 1/2 hour to an hour after taking. After a few hours it lessened. By second day severe dry mouth and thirst which could not be quenched. Horrible mettallic taste in mouth. Also, diarhea by end of first day - by 2nd day diarhea is pure liquid. By 10:30 am third day I have had it 3 times! I didn't take the drug today - I have taken Benadryl as doc says this is an allergic reaction. I have been written a scrip for Amoxycillan which I am now afraid to take. I only take drugs as a last resort - am a natural remedy sort of person - but I was very ill for a week plus with a fever of 102 and couldn't care for my children. I am sensitive to medications and prone to allergy. F 39 2 days

 3  Diverticulosis Major headache....for the last 4 days with nausea on and off. Seems to have cured the diverticulosis but have decided to stop taking and call my doctor. At least it wasn't as bad as Flagyl! F 60 6 days

 3  Sinusitis Eczema, anxiety, insomnia, depression, mood swings, crying jags (c'mon, I'm a 45 year old regular guy), vivid dreams, disassociation, feelings of being overwhelmed by everything -- but otherwise great. First time doc prescribed with Prednisone and Xanax, and I experienced no side effects at all. Second time I took it without the other two...and wow! The pred and xan counteract all of these nasty side effects of the Amox. The doc knew what he was doing giving me all three. Otherwise, this stuff is scary. No more for me. M 45 5 days

 4  sinus infection I've taken this med before so I knew I would get an upset tummy and diahrea. I got a rash on my thighs and have had very vivid dreams, could be the codein cough meds. I'm on day 6 and finally am starting to feel better. Ill gladly take the squirts to get rid of the sinus pain! F 32 10 days

 3  After surgery (Rhinoplasty) Started with itching on my chest within 24 hours - this subsided. After 48 hours I became dizzy and nauseous. Then I'd wake up with a sore throat and burning mouth, in particularly my tongue which would last the whole day, making eating quite unpleasant. Also suffered from severely tired achy legs, anxiety and a swollen tongue. Wanted to take to prevent infection, but suffered in so many other ways! F 28 7 days

 4  sinus infection dizziness, lethargy, dry mouth/nostrils I had sinus symptoms that tho not too severe wouldn't go away. Nasty headache, dry cough and dry congestion persisted after 2 week cold wound down. After 5 weeks I saw dr. who said try Afrin & netti pots first for 1-2 wks. I drained right sinus ok but left wldn't budge, so he put me on Augmentin 875 twice a day/ 10 days. I'd had antibiotics twice before for sinus & they worked fast, in 3-4 days; this time it took entire course and it was confusing because I was still half-sick at end; but I finally got left side drained w/n. pot,I'd say because the infection died.
