| 2 | strep throat( second time in a row) | Headache, Nausea, Bad diarrhea, Stomach pains. | It worked to get rid of my strep but the side effects were horrible. I hope I never have to take this medicine again ! | F | 14 | 10 days | 8/14/2007 | 5 | Sinus Infection | Only headache. | F | 35 | 4 days | 8/9/2007 | 4 | Strep Throat | Headaches, Severe Diarrhea & dry mouth, I was not aware as to how severe theside effects were going to be. | I started taking this medication 2 days ago and the side effects began yesterday, although my throat is 90% better, I just left work due to the severity of the diarrhea. I made the huge mistake of taking Imodium thinking that my stomach was just upset, biggest mistake of my life. So, now I am at home losing time from work & doubled over in stomach pain. My poor stomach ......at least my throat feels better. :-) I am not sure how I would recommend this drug to others because I come from a family with sensitive stomachs. The drug did what it was prescribed to do, that is the bottom line. | F | 33 | 3 days | 7/30/2007 | 5 | rare disease (CVID) /infection | Very limited mild side effects (stomach cramps, bloating) | I have a rare immunological disease in which I don't produce antibodies, thus I have no immune system to speak of and am on antibodies most of the time. I have had some horrible antibiotics that have caused rashes, vomiting, convulsions, seizures and anaphalaxis. So when they tell me I need to take Augmentin, I breathe a sigh of relief. Compared to the other types out there, Augmentin is truly the best. | M | 21 days | 7/29/2007 | 5 | Bartholin gland abscess | Extreme bloating-I feel & look 3 mos. pregnant, explosive poops after eating anything & in the morning, strange itchiness at night in midsection & ankles, lightheaded, strange vivid dreams, lethargy | Took care of abscess problem. Within 2 days crotch felt almost normal, but these side effects are very annoying. I'm on day 5 of a 10 round 2 x a day prescription. Bloating & pooping were immediate & still a problem. I haven't had any nausea even on an empty stomach as others have mentioned. Obviously a very powerful drug. | F | 5 days | 7/27/2007 | 5 | head/chest cold, cough | I had no side effects from this medication | This med has worked for me everytime it's been prescribed. | F | 29 | 21 days | 7/24/2007 | 1 | Sinusitis | Diarrhoea, migraine. The diarrhoea was quite bad, but actually started to get better, when I was hit with two migraines on two consecutive days. I suffered migraine as a teenager, but this was only the second time I'd had it in my adult life. The forced me to discontinue the Augmentin as for me migraine involves a lot of vomiting. | The cure was definitely worse than the disease. It did take the edge of my sinusitis but didn't eradicate it before the side effects became so severe I had to discontinue. | M | 29 | 3 days | 7/20/2007 | 4 | sinus infection | some diarhhea, but that was controllable by taking acidopholus and eating plenty of yogurt. The very frightening part has been the joint and muscle pain. UNBELIEVABLE. Like others here, I was afraid I had some serious illness. What would normally be minor arthritis has become my constant focus day and night, just trying to manage pain in wrists, feet, knees, back. SCARY. | It does seem to be kicking the infection (the 3rd following sinus surgery). WHat a relief to find out the muscle and joint pain can be a side effect. I'm SO grateful for this website. I have only 3 more days to finish the course of medication, so I'll follow through and just try to medicate my aching joints with anti-inflammatories and fish oil and not freak out about them. | F | 51 | 7 days | 7/17/2007 | 2 | sinus and double ear infection | headache, yeast infection (only 2 days of taking) stomach cramping, diarrhea, frequent urination | taking 875 mg/ 2 times a day and only after 10 days on the mediciine did i finally get relief to my head and ears. the fluid in my ears finally cleared up at 18 days from starting the medicine. 3 days after being on it for 14 days started having extremely painful stomach cramps and diarrhea. i would NEVER take this medicine again. id rather deal with the sinus and ear infections than have prolonged diarrhea for 3 weeks! | F | 24 | 3 weeks | 7/17/2007 | 3 | sinus infection | diarrhea, stomach pain, food sensitivity | I have twice been prescribed Augmentin 875 for sinus infections over the last 6 weeks. The first time, I suffered severe headaches and sinus congestion. This time, I have had diarrhea that is tinted green, stomach pain, and an inability to tolerate certain cooking spices. | F | 27 | 10 days | 7/16/2007 | 3 | dog bite | diarrhea, nausea, lethargy, shaky hands, back pain | I work at an animal hospital and was bitten by a dog. i was prescribed augmentin and was given a tetanus shot. i was really sleepy on day 2. i thought it was due to the vaccine. the nausea and diarrhea started on day 3. severe watery diarrhea and nausea continued with a loss of appetite. fatigue and shaky hands with back pain came next. I called the doctor and was advised to stop meds. | F | 23 | 5 days | 7/12/2007 | 4 | Sinus Infection | Nausea, Fatigue, Headaches, and a terrible vaginal yeast infection that took several tries to cure. | Ironically the sinus infection was being cured to help cure the headaches that I suffer from so having headaches from the augmentin was not something I really enjoyed. The worst part was the yeast infection (and it was the worst one I had ever had). I have taken plenty of antibiotics before and augmentin is the only one that has ever caused a yeast infection. I will not take this antibiotic again! Although it did cure the sinus infection... | F | 20 | 14 days | 7/7/2007 | 1 | Soft tissue infection | Terrible back and stomach pain,vomitting,nausea,diarrhea. Was about to be hospitalized. | F | 52 | 1 days | 7/7/2007 | 2 | sinus & respiratory infecti | Approximately 6 hours after first dose, noticed slight dizziness. And, as the day progressed, I started feeling muscle pains in lower back & neck. Getting worse & worse. Since I hadn't experienced this before, and I also have never taken Augmentin, I decided to internet search for "Augmentin" and "muscle pain," which is how I found this site. | Only taken 2 doses, both with full meal so haven't had any GI upset or diarrhea, but I'm not liking these muscle pains! Calling doctor tomorrow to switch antibiotics. | F | 38 | 1 days | 7/3/2007 | 3 | Strep & tonsillitis | One instance of vomiting, intense itching, swelling | On day 8 of 10, my hands, scalp and underarms began to itch like mad. The pads of my fingers and palms are swollen and red in patches, like hives. My right eyelid is swollen. Benadryl does help, but of course Benadryl puts me to sleep. I vomited on day one, having taken the first dose on an empty stomach. Small meals with dosage were working fine until day 8, when I also took the morning dose before eating anything. It seems clear that, for me, this medicine must be taken with food. | F | 39 | 8 days | 7/1/2007 | 5 | badly infected dog bite | 3rd day of treatment, stomach distress, diarrhea, sleepiness, but that might have been my body's way of making me slow down to help fight the infection, | knocked out the infection pronto, I took lots of water the whole 7 days along with Activia, and Dan Active Immunity drink, helped a lot with stomach problems, side effects were annoying, but the med worked perfectly, would take again, hopefully will not ever need it again... I take no other medication, stopped taking even Aleve for the course of Augmentin treatment, and this is the frst time I have needed an antibiotic in 8 years, so no build up of meds in my system... | F | 63 | 7 days | 6/23/2007 | 5 | Sinus Infection | Upset stomach if taking without food but nothing major- no other side effects | This is THE only antibiotic I will take. It works great for me! | F | 33 | 7 times | 6/22/2007 | 1 | sinus/ear infection | Excruciating stomach pain, cramps, mucus diarhea alternating with constipation, nausea, acid pain in entire GI track. Symptoms became more severe over time ... quit taking it after 6 days. But severe symptoms continued for days afterward. | This was the worse pain I've ever experienced ... almost unbearable. I couldn't sleep and was constantly in the bathroom. It might have helped my infection a little .. but I would never take this drug again. Drug should be taken off the market. | F | 57 | 6 days | 6/13/2007 | 3 | swollen lymph/saliva gland | Constant loose stools and diarrhea. Fatigue. Dizziness. Sleepy | Until I went on this website I was not sure what was wrong with me. I had no idea a med would cause diarrhea for 6 days with 3-5 occurances a day and that is not an exageration. Sometimes it just seeps out without any warning. I also have a mild yeast infection. I'll try the yogurt. I douched and peri-washed with a tsp of betadine and about 8oz of water. I have good results but it is still there. | F | 52 | 12 days | 6/11/2007 | 4 | sinus infection | arthralgia, myalgia-- bones and joints aching, 1 bout of diarrhea | Within hours of taking first pill my sinus pressure/headache was relieved. 2nd day, however, the body aches set in. Vomited up the 4th pill of treatment (evening of day 2). I think my body is trying to tell me something. Am calling doc for advice regarding switching or simply discontinue. I would attempt Augmentin again, however, I think the smaller doses 4 times a day might sit better with me. (then again, maybe not) | F | 47 | 2 days | 6/2/2007 |
