| 3 | uterine infection | Severe cramping(thought my uterine ifection was getting worse), nausea,watery diarrhea, muscle aches, anxiety. Just not feeling "Right" | I noticed improvement with my symptoms within the first 24 hours but the side effects suck. I didn't know about taking the probiotics so maybe that might have helped to have less side effects. I have 2 more days and I have already skipped a dose because of how it makes me feel. Hopefullly I will be able to hold out until the end. | F | 20 | 5 days | 3/6/2007 | 3 | Upper resp infection/tonsilitis | Bloating, Diarrhea, head ache, muscle aches esp in legs and chest and lower back, weakness, fatigue, nausea | Well, the coughing etc has stopped, and my tonsils shrunk back to normal size, but i feel like crap. I'm on day four. the side effects hit in the middle of day two, and have been getting gradually worse. but i guess the drug completed its purpose, im not suffering from my illness anymore, i'm suffering because of the drug itself. | F | 19 | 7 days | 1/13/2007 | 2 | sinus infection | cramps, diarrhea (sp?), gas, yeast infection | I feel like a scene from "War of the Worlds" is waging in my intestines. There's not enough toilet paper in the house to keep up with the diarrhea, and I don't feel much better than I did four days ago... | F | 37 | 4 days | 1/7/2007 | 5 | sinusitis | none that were noted | after a series of 5 different antibiotics from family doctor, siusitis, bronchitis did not improve. specialist prescribed augmentin xr 1000. took entire course of med, to feel 90% better. a week after completing back to new. thank god for augmentin xr | M | 50 | 10 days | 11/16/2006 | 5 | Strep Throat | Some gas and bloating. | Just wanted to update my previous comments on this drug. I'm on day 8 of 10 days. My Doctor confirmed the diagnosis of Strep Throat bacteria from the culture throat swab he took last week. The more I use the drug the side effects don't seem as bad. I would recommend this drug for treatment of Strep Throat and bacteria! --- It really cured me quickly ! Thanks :-) | M | 27 | 10 days | 9/22/2006 | 5 | Sore Throat - Tonsilitis | Some gas and bloated stomach, constipation. | After 5 days of horrible swollen painful tonsils and not being able to sleep or eat or drink due to intense pain when swallowing I went to the doctor and he gave me an Rx for 10-day course of Augumentin XR.... I took the first 2 pills immediately after leaving the Dr's office and my fever and sore throat subsided within 24 hours ! I was able to go back to work the next day and was able to sleep finally. The pus on the sides of my tonsils disappeared and my voice returned to normal. I'm on day 4 of 10 right now. The side effects were not that bad, only some mild gas and bloating and mild stomach cramps... I've been eating a lot of yogurt and pro-biotic drinks to replenish my intestinal friendly bacteria. | M | 27 | 10 days | 9/16/2006 | 5 | chronic sinus infection | none | finally cleared up my chronic sinus infection!! YAY!! | F | 28 | 10 days | 8/9/2006 | 1 | sinus infection | Severe arthritic attacks three times during three courses of Augmentin XR This happened three times, each after about 8 to 10 days of taking Augment XR. Also severe diarrhea. | Extremely severe joint pain in knees, back, wrists, shoulders, hands. I could not walk without help for a couple of days. After many blood tests, doctors concluded Augmentin was likely cause. Has this happened to anyone else? | F | 65 | 12 days | 6/28/2006 | 4 | sinus infection | Moodiness and depression. | Due to the other review, I've been lucky. I am taking 1000/62.5mg twice daily. I have to say I felt worse before I felt better. Today is day 4 of 10 and am just begining to feel better. For those first few days you felt like a war is waging inside you. Today, I feel a lot better and some had energy. The downer is it seems to give me some depression, it also made me start my menses a week early. | F | 26 | 10 days | 5/9/2006 | 1 | sinus infection | Increased heart rate and anxiety along with muscle cramping and spasms. I also felt strange sensations in my arms and hands. | I experienced symptoms within 1 hour of taking the medication. | F | 27 | 6 days | 4/9/2006 | 1 | Sinus infec. ear infect. bronch. | The absolute worst bloody diarehha. Thought my internal organs were going to come out of me one way or another. Lost 5 lbs. so far and my intestines are still unsettled. I can't afford to lose any more weight. (I way 90 lbs. now} | On the 3rd day I quit taking this and called the M.D. No other medication was perscribed. | F | 58 | 3 days | 3/5/2006 | 1 | animal bite | nausea with every dose, feminine itching,blood in stool, lack of concentration,never feeling well rested | I normally do not take any medication and treat symptoms naturally (homeopathically).
