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.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Mouth abscess Depression This is the second time I've taken amoxicillin. I became extremely depressed last time too but thought it wasn't caused by the antibiotics. After taking it twice and having the exact same symptoms I know it has to be the amoxicillin. I cry uncontrollably and my brain feels fuzzy. It's extremely difficult to focus. Dizziness occurs too at random times. F 23 7 days

 5  Acute Bronchitis On Sunday I started feeling ill and achy, but wondered if I just was exhausted and sleep deprived. On Monday the bad cough started that hurt in my chest and just kept getting worse. Finally we went to ER who prescribed Amoxicillin 850mg. I started feeling alive the 2nd day. No adverse effects. I'm quite happy. F 45 3 days

 1  tooth infection By day 3 I was not myself anymore. I got the worst anxiety I have ever felt. Horrible nightmares and fear, for no apparent reason. I became totally delusional and confused. I also was very dizzy; even laying down made the world spin and caused me to pass out. I took amoxicillin when I was a kid and did not have side effects like this. I personally suspect that the dosage is too high for many people. A 120 pound female who would have the same dose as say a male bodybuilder doesn't seem logical to me. F 22 3 days
