| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR AUGMENTIN 875 | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Severe Sinusitus | Loose stools with the very first dose,also bad headache right away.Upset stomach,suppressed appetite.I lost almost 5 pounds. | Definately not worth it.The FDA should re-evaluate this drug.I am going ask that my doctor never give it to me again.Very expensive,even in generic form. It'll take a while to get back to normal.I'll deal with my sinusitus the way I used to. Steam showers and vicks vapor rub | F | 43 | 7 days | 10/18/2005 | 1 | sinus infection | An hour or two after each time I took augmentin, I would get a high fever that lasted for 5-8 hours. I also experienced extreme weakness and nausea. I was unable to find the strength to move around or get out of bed. This antibiotic pretty much made me feel like I was about to die. I would have much rather suffered through the sinus infection without medication. | If you doctor prescribes this, please ask them if there is any other possible drug they can recommend. If you do take it, alert your doctor of any side effects right away. Then, post them on this site. If enough people hear about it, maybe they will stop prescribing drugs that make people worse instead of better. | F | 24 | 4 days | 9/18/2005 | 1 | infected salivary gland | extreme upset stomache, extreme diarrea, yeast infection, had to stop taking the drug, switched to xythromax and had continued problems | F | 25 | 4 days | 9/15/2005 | 1 | ear infection | After 4 days developed hissing in ears. Got real depressed with screaming in ears for two weeks. Had Tinnitus ever since. | M | 49 | 4 days | 8/1/2005 | 5 | sinus disease | slight itching around ankles, tremor in hands, otherwise no diarrea or stomach upset everyone says is so bad-no welts, no nausea. I did sleep much later than usual this morning, and I had a hard time | in just two days I feel relief of the pressure in my forehead and no more headache | F | 43 | 2 days | 7/30/2005 | 2 | upper respiratory infection | Itchy all over especially ears-felt like there were bugs in my ears-sore throat was worse-very tired | took with meals especially bread w/no stomach problems & yogurt everyday-had to discontinue due to feeling worse than pre-augmentin | F | 26 | 5 days | 7/29/2005 | 1 | middle ear infection | Extreme fatigue and sleeping to awaken with feelings of utter hopelessness and futility. This was the 2nd time I had this, depression-type, reaction to a penicilin drug. Now I really understand the desperation of depression. Apparently a little known side effect of this drug is the depletion of endorphins or some brain neurotransmitters....Any ideas? | F | 52 | 2 times | 7/23/2005 | 1 | middle ear infection | Extreme fatigue and sleeping to awaken with feelings of utter hopelessness and futility. This was the 2nd time I had this, depression-type, reaction to a penicilin drug. | Apparently, a little know side effect of this drug is the depletion of endorphins or some kind of brain neurotransmitters. | F | 52 | 2 times | 7/23/2005 | 4 | sinus infection | felt 90% better after 2 days of taking this compared to my miserable sinus infection symptoms, 2nd week-nausea, heartburn-worse when i drive-almost like motion sickness | overall I guess this medicine has worked for me. the nausea and generally ill feeling are probably to be expected on such a high dose and I'm on my 13th day with 7 more to go | F | 35 | 20 days | 7/20/2005 | 1 | M | 34 | 7 days | 7/18/2005 | 5 | infected surgical wound site | first three days on the medication I had mild diarrhea; afterward, no negative side effects at all | This is much easier for me to take than Augmentin XR. I had horrible nausea with that product. | F | 47 | 14 days | 7/16/2005 | 4 | Sinus infection | Virtually no side effects, save for some loss of appetite. | Seems to work well, and is pretty mild when compared to other drugs, especially the dangerous floroquinolones like Cipro and Avelox. | M | 35 | 21 days | 7/11/2005 | 5 | Respiratory Wheezing and Ear Infect | None | Had no problems. In two days I felt like my old self. | M | 58 | 6 days | 7/7/2005 | 5 | phlebitis | F | 74 | 10 days | 6/30/2005 | 2 | Foot Infection | Posted a few days back. Had tremors the first few times after taking the medicine. Stopped after day four because of odd sensations. I am getting 'zaps'like I did when I stopped taking an SSRI. Other than the zaps, which is terrible in itself for me (every time I turn my head, I get this weird sensation), I had no stomach problems and/or diarrhea. | M | 40 | 4 days | 6/30/2005 | 3 | Infected Foot Wound | I've only taken two pills of Augmentin XR 1000 but I could swear after sixty minutes of taking the first pill, I experienced tremors. I've taken another pill just a few minutes ago and if these tremors happen again, I will have to contact my physician for an alternate medication. | F | 40 | 1 days | 6/26/2005 | 3 | Bronchiectasis/pneumonia | terrible cramping in my stomach severe diaorhea wishing i was dead (thinking about topping myself) symptoms continued for days after i stopped taking it | it worked, but the side effects for me were definatly not worth it. Ended up changing to another antibiotic | M | 20 | 7 days | 6/21/2005 | 4 | sinus infection | diarrhea at first, slight nagging headache | Started feeling better after first few days. Augmentin worked overall for me. Diarrhea subsided after 2 days. I had little bit of a headache, but Tylenol took care of that. | F | 32 | 10 days | 6/14/2005 | 2 | throat infection | I tried taking this med two separate times and both times experienced piercing headaches. Doc who prescribed tried to minimize this side effect; I really thought it was a concidence until I tried it the 2nd time -- headaches start immediately and do not let up; had to take 800mg of ibuprofen just to function | I think it did help my throat, but it was not worth the pain. I worry about stopping again, and might not have until I read others have experienced similar side effects. | F | 38 | 5 days | 6/6/2005 | 5 | EAR INFECTION | EXTREMELY SLEEPY FIRST FEW DAYS, DID NOT WANT TO GET OUT OF BED; DIARRHEA EVERY DAY, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY THAT WAS A GREEN COLOR; LIGHT-HEADEDNESS (TREMORS KINDOF LIKE WHEN GETTING OFF PAXIL); NAUSEA | THIS IS A VERY GOOD ANTIBIOTIC, BUT IF THERE IS SOMETHING JUST AS EFFECTIVE WITH LESS SIDE EFFECTS AND CHEAPER, I'M ALL FOR IT. | F | 27 | 10 days | 6/2/2005 |
