 4  Sinus Infection Shortness of breath (mild). Skin itching (mild). Severe Fatigue in arms and legs. This antibiotic worked when two others did not. The side effects, especially the fatigue, are a bear. I felt better after the 4th day and by the 11th day I no longer wanted to deal with the side effects so I stopped taking the drug. I was supposed to take them for 14 days. M 31 14 days

 1  Upper Respitory/Sinus Infection I had the worse side effects: Severe Yeast Infection Severe Diarrhea Terrible headaches Horrible Stomach cramps This anitbiotic cleared my infection within 3 days however after the first does I was having awful headaches. I tried taking everything and nothing helped it. After the 2nd day on it I received terrible itching in my vaginal area and I then realized I had a severe yeast infection. I stopped taking the meds on the 7th day and my dr. had to prescribe me meds for m yeast infection because it was so bad. This is my 2nd day off of it and I am having terrible stomach pains and had diarrhea 4 times today. Yogurt does help I know this because I have Gastro Esophogeal Reflux Disease too. Everyone I know that has taken these meds have had to stop because the side effects were too hoffific. I would not recommend this for anyone, it is not worth the strife. I'd rather use regular Amoxcillin then this. F 22 7 days

 1  nasal infection extreme nausea and vomiting After 3 days of taking the Augmentin because nauseous all morning and then started vomiting at lunch. Thought it was a stomach bug at first since the first couple of days had no side effects. Days 4-5 more nausea, especially after lunch. Day 6 more vomiting. It seems that when I take the medication with food it is much worse than if I take it by itself. Called the doctor's office to tell them to prescribe something else yesterday because I will not take this medicine any more. I am still feeling nauseous today and I haven't taken it for over 24 hours. F 29 6 days

 1  After surgery antibiotic Extreme itching (almost burning)of torso after taking 2 tablets (1 days worth). I was on Augmentin following a 3 day hospital stay for an emergency appendectomy- at first I thought I was having a reaction to something the hospital gave me not the Augmentin. I became more and more itchy after day one on this med but took 2 more pills while waiting to hear from my doctor, he said to stop taking the augmentin and to try benadryl to clear the rash. I tried benadryl tablets and cream for 2 days with no effects so switched to loratadine (Claratyn) plus the benadryl cream- that and warm showers with wash cloth scrubbing helped relieve the itching. It took about 4 days to clear up entirely. The most miserable days of my life. I will never take this antibiotic again!! F 39 1 days

 1  catch scratch horrible stomach pains and diarrhea. I only took Augmentin 875 for five days, and still can't eat. I weigh 104, down from 112. I started probiotics, but I still have stomach pain and heartburn.I also got stomach flu, probably because my natural resistance was wiped out. Had I known anything about the side effects I would have asked for something else. I'm telling my doctor about it. F 55 5 days

 2  Sinus infection I am on day 11 and for the past week I have started itching really bad especially at night. Did not really know why the itching until tonight I called the pharmacy who said this was a delayed common reaction. Great! have three days left.Saw Doctor yesterday still have infection wanted me to finish Augmentin than start a diffrent antibiotic. The itching is so bad Im done taking it. I did not even think to mention the itching as I thought it was maybe due to the dry Colorado air. Hmm sounds goofy but I now know better. Advice,dont wait a week to ask about itching if taking this drug. I guess in a way I am relieved to find the itching answer hope to feel better soon. F 45 11 days

 4  Sinus Infection I started with Biaxin and had horrible mental side effects. Switched to Amox-Clav. After few hours, sinus infection was turned to liquid and drained into stomach. This caused vomiting but I understood why. This stopped after the first night. The back of my neck locked up into a solid hard muscle mass. This also went away after about two days. I have chronic neck pain from an old neck-jambing injury. Now, my neck is better than it has been for years. Is it possible the antibiotic attacked an old chronic infection in the neck tissues? I'm protecting my intestines with a high potency acidolphalus(5.5 billion bugs). No diarhea! I have slightly experienced insomnia. This is a reasonable price to pay for the benefits of the drug. I wonder if this drug attacks old chronic infections as a bonus? Perhaps many of the varied side effects listed here could be attributed to old chronic infections being treated by the drug? 60 9 days

 1  sinus infection Terrible stomach pain, bloating, indigestion, chest tightness/burning, insomnia, panic and anxiety, constipation while taking the medicine followed by diarrhea when I stopped My Dr prescribed this for a sinus infection. After taking 1 dose I noticed my chest started burning. I didn't put the two together at first. After 5 doses (2.5 days) I was up all night convinced I was having a heart attack. I was burping non-stop, my chest and abdomen were very tight and painful. Ended up having a panic attack. Finally thought I might be having severe acid reflux/indigestion. Only after speaking to a friend did I realize the symptoms started right after I started taking the meds. Stopped immediately and began dranking even more water to try to flush my system. It's been 36 hours since I last took it. I'm feeling mostly better now, but my abdomen is tender from the severe stomach pains, cramps and bloating. I did eat with each pill as directed. I would not take this again unless someone told me I'd die without it. F 29 3 days

 3  middle ear infection excrutiating vaginal itching; loose stools (mild case). Commenced with Augmentin for left ear infection. Started improving within 2 days, but then right ear started to hurt: don't understand why, as I was already taking the medication. Right ear still partially affected, but improving. Intense itching started within a day or so of first drug dose, and has continued throughout - wish I'd read about yoghurt and probiotics earlier! (I wish my doctor had told me!) F 47 12 days
