 3  sinus infection Dry mouth, loss of appetite, burning sensation from mucous in ear tubes, upper throat where there was postnasal drip, and nose. One explosive all-liquid stool. 5-pound weight loss in first week. Having now read how much worse it could be I can suffer through last three and a half days of this, it does seem to work. Will avoid in future, feel awful that my poor kid was given this for ear infections when he was a baby, now I know why he got the worst diaper rash ever. F 46 6 days

 5  Resistant Sinus Infection None really. Felt a bit more fatigued, and it made me sleep a lot on the weekend, but nothing debilitating. Worked great to get rid of my sinus infection. I took Biaxin for 10 days and it did nothing. After 2 doses of Augmentin I could feel things getting better. Seems to work better if you take a 12 hour Sudafed with it for the entire length of the dose. I would recommend this antibiotic for those that have chronic sinus infections that are hard to get rid of. It is the only thing that has worked consistently for me. F 43 2 days

 2  sinus infection My sinus infection was severe, so my Dr. wanted me on this drug for at least 2 ten day cycles. I had no reaction after the first course, but into the 2nd, the right side of my face grew numb and tingly (like novacaine that was wearing off). I stopped taking the drug but am still experiencing the numbness. I am now taking an antihistamine which seems to be giving me some mild relief. It did cure my sinus infection, but my Dr. will never prescribe this again for me. This was not a side effect listed! F 60 18 days

 3  ear infection after one day on augmentin, I came down with flu-like symptoms, headache, fever, weakness, there is some itching, but not real bad, I had to go to ER for breathing difficulty, my oxygen lever was low but not drastically, I was given a breathing treatment and perscribed steroids, I cant say for sure if this was side effects or just real bad timing on getting a resperatory infection, any way, i'm not taking any more of this medication, I feel much worse now than before, however it did cure the ear infection. I will definately ask my doctor to not prescribe this med to me any more, Ive stopped taking it after 3 days. F 51 3 days

 3  Ear Infection, chest infection Weak as a kitten, nausea, muscle aches, headache, fast heart rate, light headedness, dizziness, sleepy, thirsty This drug really did me in. I have done nothing but sleep for the last four days. Had to take two days off from work. This drug must be taken with food. Still feel very tired and resisting the urge to go back to bed. All I want to do is sleep. I dont know if it got rid of the infection but I am cutting the pills in half and only taking half the dosage. I have to be on my toes at work and cant work like this.

 1  sinus infection Severe headache, light stomach cramps, light diarrhea, sleepiness I took this drug twice earlier this year for sinus infections w/ great results and zero side effects. I was surprised this time, after day two days, to have the side effects noted to the left. I read the online literature for this drug, and it seems that when the side effects are this severe, the cause is an overdose of this drug. This makes sense, since my sinus infection this time was very mild - I made the mistake of using the big guns on it. Also, I believe some people are slow processors of drugs, and that is why many have had rashes, etc., which are severe reactions due to overdosage. If you have any of the severe side effects (read the literature), they advise you to discontinue the drug. No one says you have to finish taking a drug that is not working with your body chemistry - probably nothing wrong with the drug itself, it just doesn't work well in all situations for all people. I am a case of that. Wondering if I should stop the drug entirely until I can talk to my dr. on Mo F 45 2 days

 5  infected cat bite as always with antibiotics, i got raw between my legs - no infection of any kind, just my skin gets raw and painful there - not a fun side effect, makes it very difficult to pee, even harder to do anything else i feel bad for everyone who had terrible side effects, but i had no real problems with augmentin. i spent two days in the hospital getting IV anitbiotics, thankfully escaped surgery - barely - and then 10 days of pills. i was advised to take it with yogurt, and i always eat dannon activia anyway, so maybe i dodged a bullet - but there it is.

 3  Sinusitis and bronchitis Extreme fatigue, muscle and joint aches, diarrhea and bloating from water retention. Was prescribed this after 10 days of Levaquin with little improvement. The sinus/bronchitis is better, but am miserable with side effects. Pushing myself to get through the day and feel like a fat slug. Can barely close my pants from bloating around my middle. Don't know if it's really worth it. F 48 5 days

 1  Sinusitis Frequent bowel movements, stomach cramps/aches, rapid heart rate, headache, dry mouth This medication is awful. I have never experienced so many side effects from any other meds. I have been taking it for 10 days now, and the side effects haven't let up at all since day 1. It has not cleared up my sinusitis yet and I after today I am not taking it anymore. I am supposed to take it for 30 days, but I can't handle these side effects - especially when I am not even getting better. I can't bear being miserable any more! F 24 10 days

 1  For cellulitis So far I have had a weeks worth of diarrhea (it all started as soon as I took the 1st pill) and very very soft stools and 2 days of throwing up. Also I have had abdominal cramping and pains since taking this pill. Sometimes it is rather severe. Also now a week after 1st starting this medication I know have an ear and bladder infection. It seems like it is killing off all the good stuff in my body that is there to fight off the bad germs. When my daughter was an infant she had to take this medication in liquid form and it also made her have diarrhea and abdominal pains. F 36 6 days

 3  sinusitis, pneumonia severe muscle pain Have only taken 3 doses, woke up this morning, could not get out of bed due to SEVERE thigh, calf, arm muscle pain. Called MD, he said it is a less than common side effect, try to continue the full 10 day course. The pain is as bad as the infection and really I'm taking the codeine cough syrup for the pain not the cough. BTW- I jog daily and do resistance training 3-4x a week- the pain wasn't this bad when I started exercising. F 35 2 days

 1  Facial surgery. Fractured socket Started with Nausea, headaches and aching all over and very dark urine. Stoped taking the drug but 3 days later I have severe itching. Soles of feet,legs, hands and upper body. I was given this drug as a precaution for infections following my injury. Surgery was required and again as a precaution the drug was given. It all seemed ok until the 10th day. itching continued well after I stopped taking it along with the dark urine. Consulting the Doc today!! M 43 10 days

 5  diverticulitis Upset stomach if taken without food. Was suppossed to take flagyl with augmentin but after reading about flagyl's side effects, I refused to take the flagyl. Augmentin took care of the pain caused by the diverticulitis. Have taken this med. for various other problems & always took care of the problem. F 54 10 days

 3  Tonsillitis / throat infection Extreme nausea, loose stool, headache/pressure, metallic taste, extreme sense of smell, body aches, chills, fever-like symptoms The throat infection began clearing in a day or two, and was completely clear and fever free in three days. Head-pressure and headache as well as extreme nausea continued for the entire course of medication. These symptoms continued into the following week as well. These side effects made me think that I had a more serious condition. M 42 10 days

 4  infection just above ankle diareah for 7 days. Am now in day 8 out of ten. Diareah stopped on day #7 Infection has gotten a lot better during the time that I took this drug. Of course, I don;t know whether or not this drug helped or not. But a little diareah seems like a very small price to pay for getting the infection to clear. M 51 8 days

 3  Cellulitis, from an insect bite *VERY* severe diarrhea and a mild yeast infection. I am glad the cellulitis is clearing up, but I have the worst bout of diarrhea that I can ever remember. I have it 3 to 5 times per day, for the past week. I only have 2 more days, so I will finish the medication, since it did help with my infection. I just hope the diarrhea stops, once the medication does. F 36 8 days
