| 5 | Sinus | Love this antibiotic. Near zero side effects the few times I've taken it. Maybe a very short lived stomach cramp once or twice. No diarrhea, nausea or anything. | M | 33 | 7 days 850 2X day | 6/24/2025 | 1 | Double pneumonia | Severe stomach pain like someone kicked me with a steel toed boot. Bloating. Had to constantly move because of pain. Weak muscles. Heart went into arrhythmia, with HR going from 47 to 124 back to 50. Cannot do much of anything. In bathroom a lot with blood and tons of mucus. Have to pee and can’t. Have to #2 and can’t. Then have accidents. Can barely eat. | Started out with doxycycline and immediately had severe gut problems. Back to urgent care and they switched to amoxicillin. I have had good results with that so was happy. Well, that light at the end of the tunnel didn’t last because I found out it was actually another train headed right toward me. Thought I was dying. Never again!!!! | F | 72 | 5 days 1000mg 3X day | 12/27/2024 | 1 | To prevent infection after tooth im | After 24 hours of talking this I had a huge heart palpitation and nearly fainted. I then felt as if my chest and throat were under pressure, and my heart was racing. The only way I could feel slightly better was to walk about. I genuinely thought I was dying and went to A&E. All tests were ok. These symptoms have continued: feeling of drifting off, irregular heartbeat, general feeling of pressure in my chest. Last tablet due today, so I am hoping that these symptoms will resolve. | F | 55 | 5 days 250 3X day | 5/12/2024 | 1 | Throat pain and fever | Extreme anxiety, stress, lack of happiness | I am not going to take this again. I have one of the biggest exams in my life coming up and this completely destroyed my motivation to study. | M | 17 | 5 days 625 3X day | 11/11/2023 | 5 | Throat infection | Itchy private parts | Why all the bad reviews? Amoxicillin is really good and not dangerous. It's what they give u at the dentist. Unless u are allergic to the ingredients, it's bad for u. But for me it was really good. Took a while to work but it's vanilla compared to the really bad antibiotics out there. (Like bactrim and cipro) I even have anxiety problems too, but this medication was great, took my horrible sore throat (I couldn't even speak) away. The only side effect was itchy private parts, but that soon went away. | F | 34 | 10 days 125 mg 2X day | 9/23/2023 | 4 | Tooth infection | Body rash (abdomen, chest, and shoulders), pain in stomach. | It cleared up the infection. | M | 40 | 7 days 500 1X day | 8/19/2023 | 1 | Tooth infection | Dizziness, chest pain, tingling in face, horrible anxiety | I have been diagnosed with panic attack disorder and anxiety in the past. I've been off anxiety medication for 1.5 years until I started taking amoxicillin. I can't sleep because I feel like I am going to stop breathing. Can barely move because of nausea and dizziness. I've been super paranoid. I am calling the doctor first thing in the morning because I can't do this any longer. I feel like I am going to die because of how bad my anxiety has been since starting this medication. | F | 26 | 3 days 500 kg 1X day | 4/30/2023 | 1 | Tooth extraction | Anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts | Took this for ONE DAY and about 30 mins after I literally had to talk myself through not harming myself. I will never take this again! 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!! | F | 24 | 1 days 1X day | 4/21/2023 | 1 | Tooth infection | Heart racing, trouble sleeping, panic attacks, mind racing | F | 25 | 12 days 3X day | 4/21/2023 | 3 | Tooth Infection | I'm sure I've taken Amoxicillin in past and felt a bit off, some gastro issues, but not this intense e.g. the anxiety and slight dizziness. Also nausea. Interesting reading how many others experienced same. At least tooth is feeling better. | I'm on day 4 of 7. On day 2 I started taking probiotics and probiotic yogurt to help calm stomach symptoms (which they have). These help replenish gut bacteria killed by antibiotic (it doesn't differentiate between good and bad bacteria). Dentist recommended yogurt when I called. Should be taken a couple hours or more apart tom the drug, not at same time. | 60 | 7 days 500 mg 3X day | 4/2/2023 | 1 | Ear infection | Incredible tingling in legs. Chills. Severe anxiety with no history of anxiety. Elevated blood pressure 150/85. when I usually am under 120/80; 117/73 is common. | This drug augmentin has serious side effects that were never mentioned by my orovider. | M | 61 | 2 days 875/125mg 2X day | 3/22/2023 | 1 | Infection | I have no history of depression, anxiety, or mental illness, but since taking the amoxicillin I have had unrelenting panic attacks. This awful feeling of white heat, horror, racing heart, flushed face, and impending feeling of Doom pulls me out of my sleep 6 or 7 times every single night, and I am left with a debilitating anxiety all day. The panic and anxiety do not come from a thought or a fear, it's like my body or brain has been poisoned by this drug. It has been Four agonizing years of this and I have been to every doctor and specialist imaginable trying to find the cause and cure for this. Do not take this drug. It has literally ruined my life. I only recently made the connection that the amoxicillin destroys your microbiome, and I am very slowly on a path to rebuild. God I hope this works | F | 46 | 12 days 3X day | 2/17/2023 | 1 | Tooth infection | Complete panic attack onset after starting amoxicillin. Went to the er and was told it was panic attacks and a tooth infection. Switched to clinda and only took one dose and was anxious for a few days when told to go back on amoxicillin for dental procedure. Reaction and panic attack placed me back in the er where I was once again only treated for a panic attack. Switched back to clinda for dental work and struggling w residual anxiety. Can't wait to be off antibiotics period | F | 34 | 2 days 1000 mg 2X day | 2/13/2023 | 1 | congested lungs | I was prescribed Amoxicillin by my GP for congested lungs and coughing that was persisting for weeks. I took the first pill that evening. Within a few hours I had a sudden onset of anxiety, rapid heartrate, tingling in my hands and feet, insomnia, and a horrible feeling of dread. The next day I called the dr. to report these symptoms and ask what I should do. He said it sounded like I was having a panic attack and that he'd prescribe an anti-anxiety med for me. I told him I've never had a panic attack in my life and have no history of psychiatric problems. He insisted the antibiotic could not be the cause of my symptoms, but I could not imagine what else was causing it. I called a dr. friend who is an ER dr who told me that my symptoms are uncommon side-effects of Amoxicillin and advised me to immediately stop taking it and take some Benedryl. I followed his advice and all the symptoms went away, never to return. | F | 43 | 2 days 500 mg 2X day | 2/9/2023 | 1 | Tooth pain | About half way through, I started to feel nauseous and my urine was so acidic the skin started to peel and I had to put zinc baby ointment around my privates. My spit became so acidic, my enamel on my teeth hurt just brushing my teeth. | I finished the med three weeks ago. I have lost 12 pounds. I need to take pain killers just to eat or drink pediatyle or baby foods. I had to cut my teaching hours just trying not to freak out my students, families and school. My school does not have healthcare benefits for part-timers like me. I am so exhausted, It takes four hours just to get ready to do anything. My family is really concerned. They have never, ever seen me this sick. What the heck did they give me???? Poison? It was just a tooth ache, but now my intestinal system has been shredded. Is this antibiotic going to kill me? | F | 58 | 500mg 1X day | 1/28/2023 | 1 | Start of ear infection | Bad Headaches, stomach pains, tingling in legs and feet, horrible leg pains, weird dreams, anxiety, dehydrated urine, internal tremors. | Took because I was told my left ear looked like a start of an infection from fluid being stuck behind my eardrum. I've taken amoxicillin in the past growing up with zero issues- this time was COMPLETELY different and I will not take again! | F | 31 | 4 days 500 2X day | 12/4/2022 | 1 | Chest infection | I started taking this medication due to having a chest infection after covid. I have never experienced anxiety on such a level as I did when taking it. I couldn't see properly (double vision), felt light headed, panic attacks, depressed, suicidal thoughts and so incredibly fatigued. I felt like I was losing my mind. I do not recommend this medication to anyone especially those who already suffer from anxiety and/or panic attacks. | F | 33 | 2 days 500 mg 3X day | 12/1/2022 | 1 | infection | I've had mild panic attacks in the past but never this severe. Only until taking amoxicillin, I've never hyperventilated in my life. Until recently and my hands would lock up and everything and it was scary! I was on amoxicillin for 21 days to treat an infection. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I had to detox the antibiotics out of my body and start replenishing my good bacteria again and that's when when the panic attacks completely stopped for some weeks now and it's been extremely relieving. I've felt a lot of difference and I feel so much better now. Do not recommend this drug | F | 14 | 7 3X day | 11/27/2022 | 1 | Ear infection | I got a fever never been so cold went to bed with two dressing gowns on and socks on my feet and hands Also got a throaty cough and non stop wheezing plus a headache. Also had to go to the toilet numerous times don't normally go at all Will never take these again | M | 73 | 3 days 500mg 3X day | 10/4/2022 | 1 | Suspected Kidney Infection | This is one of the worst drugs. I'm 15 and was getting extreme gas and nausea, pain. Me and my mum went to the hospital to find a diagnosis because I would constantly be belching/feeling sick for 4 weeks. I had a urine test done and it came back as a suspected kidney infection because i had blood in my urine... but i was also on my period that day... they didn't even tell me to go back home and come back when i'm off my period. they prescribed me with antibiotics anyway because they thought it would be a kidney infection and i had to take it because i had no other option. nothing really changed when i started taking it then after i stopped taking it that's when the side effects kicked in... i had diarrhoea at one point while taking it. then shortly after with a yeast infection/vaginal discharge... my stools started turning black. my hands were slightly tingling for the whole day and then it triggered my whole body would go numb and my hands would be paralyzed and severe pins and needles | F | 15 | 7 days 250/125 3X day | 9/10/2022 |
AMOXICILLIN (AMOXICILLIN): Amoxicillin is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is a penicillin-type antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. Amoxicillin is also used with other medications to treat stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by the bacteria H. pylori and to prevent the ulcers from returning.
