| 1 | bronchitis | Normal side effects like diarrhea however I can handle that – no big deal. However it caused me behavioral changes such as depression, anxiety, irritability etc. I would definitely not recommend this for people in high stress environments or even for people with young children who have the tendency to “push your buttons” from time to time. Having patience with your screaming child is difficult enough as it is and the behavioral side effects from Augmentin did not help. | I took this for bronchitis. Symptoms went a way after a few weeks, but it was not worth the price. Normally my screaming kids dont really bother me (I have a two year old and a 1 year old) however while on augmentin I found myself anxious, drepessed and really up-tight. Ill never take it again because I yelled at my kids a few times which is something ive never done prior to taking Augmentin. | M | 32 | 2 weeks | 1/23/2009 | 1 | ear infection | major joint pain and diarrhea; stomach cramps | Thank God for this site! I've never had side effects from drugs before so I thought I had fibromyalgia! I'm fearful of antibiotic resistance so I was determined to just see it through on this drug but now that I see the joint pain could be from the drug there is no way I am taking one more pill ever again. Plus, my ear is still infected! | F | 35 | 9 days | 1/23/2009 | 3 | Sinusitis | Diarrhea. | I started taking Augmentin 4 days ago. Yesterday I started having diarrhea, and it's continuing today. I have to take it for at least 6 more days. So far I don't have any other reactions. | F | 51 | 4 days | 1/8/2009 | 1 | streph throat | I was feeling a sore throat for a few days. Upon taking this i immediately felt better inthe throat the next day. but gradually during the course i have begun having horrible body aches and anxiety. other than that i am well. I have been off the antibiotics for 2 days and the pains have yet to subside. Also i did get a clouded feeling while on it. Ive never had a reaction on antibiotics like this. Its horrible. I did kick the infection but at a steep price. I would not recommend this one if you can avoid it. | M | 26 | 10 days | 1/7/2009 | 1 | following sinus surgery | headache, dizziness and feeling 'foggy' in the head. Upset stomach, thrush, intense aching in my upper arms leading to tendon pain. Severe anxiety. | I took a 10 day course of this drug. The 'foggy' feeling in the head continued for sometime afterwards. Thrush started the day I finished the course. The following day I experienced sudden, intense aching in both my upper arms, that by the next day had resulted in severe tendon pain requiring weeks of treatment. Several days after finishing the course I began to experience severe anxiety which has continued some 2 months later. I would like to hear from anyone with similar experiences, particularly the anxiety problem. Can't seem to get anyone in the medical profession to consider it might be the drugs. | F | 40 | 10 days | 12/9/2008 | 1 | possible infection in gum | I had drowsiness, headaches, dizzy, confused, lightheaded feelings, stomach discomfort, appetite completely went, diarrhoea, sore stomach | I was given this drug for a possible gum infection by A&E at the hospital, I have taken a few antibiotics but I have never in all my life have felt as bad as on this. It felt like it took over my body totally and it was a very scary experience my doctors denied it which made me feel even worse saying that I was prescribed this medicine in 2002. I have had penicillin before but didn't know if it was the second ingredient my body didn't like even coming off it it took a while to get back to normal very scary. Would like to hear from others experiences by email | M | 37 | 7 days | 11/13/2008 | 2 | Tooth abscess | Similar to other peoples on here, really bad headaches, dizziness, nausea, diahrea, terrible night sweats, generally feeling run down and really bad dry skin on my face. | This drug is horrendous, have been taking it for 4 days now (3 more to go!) the past 2 days i have had off work i don't feel like i can leave the house! It did work clearing up my abscess in 24 hours though but its not worth all this greif. | F | 23 | 4 days | 10/22/2008 | 1 | Urinary Infection | After 3 days of taking 625mg Augmenting every 8 Hours, I've experienced severe stomack pains , cramps , nausea and sever bloody diarrhoea and after 36 Hours had to call an ambulance and admitted into A&E with severe dehydration and mineral disbalance, not mentioning anemia.Had stopped Augmentin immediately after the symptoms occured but still had to stay in the hospital for 5 days due to the severity of the bleeding. | Avoid if possible as it has attacked my digestive mucosa without me having any pre-existent digestive conditions . | F | 40 | 3 days | 9/25/2008 | 1 | Diverticulitis | I experienced stomache cramp while taking this medication, which has begun to get worse, 2 days after finishing the medication. | I am wondering if it's possible for this medication to cause stomach cramping days after finishing the medication. My stomach cramps are worse now. | F | 64 | 7 days | 9/9/2008 | 1 | bronchitis | overall muscle weakness, severe leg weakness, falling | stopped taking after the second day and actually fell out of bed | M | 34 | 2 days | 8/26/2008 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Horrible Diahrea,cramping,skin peeling,vagainal itching and peeling to back area,cramps no sleep,dizzy,burning,massive upset stomach | I will never take this stuff again it has made it to where i can not get out of the house it burns so badly i have been taking it for 6 days and it hasd been the worse 6 days ever do not take this stuff it is perscribed for 10 days but i do not care the cost of this stuff it is going in the trash and never again will this be in my house | F | 26 | 10 days | 8/10/2008 | 3 | took for abcessed tooth | after taking for 14 days,developed acid reflux and severe anxiety,which neither one i have ever had.can anyone tell how long until these symptoms are gone.i am on meds for both problems.this is affecting my entire life.i will never take this medicine again. | F | 44 | 14 days | 7/23/2008 | 5 | sinus infection | crazy diarrhea | worth it because it knocked out the sinus pain in 24 hours. 6 days left. | F | 36 | 10 days | 7/10/2008 | 2 | infected toenail | No explosive diarrhea, but all my silver jewelry tarnished. What the hell? :/ i had to go buy silver jewelry cleaner. I also had to pee about every half hour starting around the fifth day. | F | 14 | 10 days | 7/6/2008 | 1 | Sinus infection | Depression. | I had taken this drug for a year on and off for a bad infection in my jaw and had no side effects. I took it for a sinus infection years later and it caused depression so I stopped. | M | 45 | 1 days | 6/21/2008 | 3 | sinus infection | Initially none, then after first course of 10 days, inability to settle down and sleep, extreme weepiness and anxiety. | Prescribed for my 12 year old son who had two infected sinuses. This knocked him for a loop. After 10 days on the drug he couldn't sleep and drove us crazy with anxious fears at bedtime. I think this is a drug of last resort for someone like my son. But you won't know until you try it.:( | M | 12 | 2 weeks | 5/31/2008 | 3 | bRONCHITIS/SINUS INFECTION | jOINT PAIN & YEAST INFECTION VAGINAL ITCHING AND BURNING | NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. I AM VERY SENSITVE TO MOST ANTIBIOTICS AND THIS IS A STRONG ONE . I COULD HAVE LIVED WITH OUT THE YEAST INFECTION THOUGH | F | 31 | 10 days | 5/28/2008 | 1 | before tooth surgery | I am adding to my first post . . . I had horrible side effects from Augmentin. My hives are finally gone after two months. I peeled head to toe. That's stopped now. However, I have bad joint pain now in my right hand. I can't open bottle tops sometimes because of the pain! I hope this goes away as well. Anyone still got joint pain after months? | M | 40 | 7 days | 4/17/2008 | 1 | Sinus infection | Nausea, vomiting, severe stomach cramps, diarrhea was so severe that I couldn't get out of my bed. | This was the worst antibiotics i've ever taken. | F | 34 | 4 days | 4/13/2008 | 4 | sinus infection | First week, as suspected cramping and stomach issues- but after 2 weeks and through the 6 week course severe muscle and joint pain. It's been 10 days and this hasn't subsided. Another CT scan will show if the infection is totally gone. | M | 55 | 45 days | 4/7/2008 |
