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  Wisdom tooth extraction Severe insomnia, severe loss of appetite, depression, suicidal thoughts, confusion Would not recommend. For an antibiotic I would expect it to not have many strong side effects, I was mistaken. Had to stop taking it early in order to get sleep and get a sufficient amount of food in me. M 22 6 days

 2  Strep throat Headache, depressed, tired, feeling weak, so dizzy, not hungry, throat still hurts, flu like symptoms This is the 2nd antibiotic I've been on and I swear this has made me scared to death that something is seriously wrong. I've taken this amoxicillin before and I've never felt like this ever! I am so tired all the time and after the 3rd day of taking it, I got a constant headache (mainly in my temple) and I'm so dizzy it's crazy. I'm not going to stop since I have 3 days left for this treatment to go, but I honestly will never take again. Horrible horrible side effects plus it makes me nervous that I have something more serious going on. Not good for someone who suffers from anxiety. F 24 10 days

 3  Upper respiratory infection Confused 'zombie' like feeling. Extreme fatigue, irritability. Felt like something was raging inside me. Felt feverish, unsettled, agitated. Depressed by day 3. Remember saying "you know how people say they feel like they have been hit by a bus- well I wish I would be, it's got to feel better than this" Did eventually help with with my illness, but at what cost. Will definitely make enquiries about alternative medication next time. Has been a difficult, even scary few days. F 43 5 days

 3  Chest infection Extreme fatigue, brain fog, shaky, palpitations I went to the GP because I suspected chest infection, I felt a bit hot and tired and I could feel I had fluid on the chest. I thought I'd get some antibiotics and just carry on. NOPE. I haven't worked for the past 3 days because I have this extreme tiredness and I can't function or concentrate on anything, I find myself staring blankly into space for long periods of time and I could spend all day sleeping. I will tell my doctor not to prescribe these antibiotics to me anymore F 57 7 days
500mg 3X day

 3  Toothache It has definitely calmed my toothache but not cured it. Suddenly wake in the night with heart palpitations, butterflies in my stomach and feeling sick. Partly due to anxiety I think but it upsets my digestion. Gurgly stomach and burps all day and mild diarrohea. Feel nauseous and no appetite. Maybe it is because I am on my second course in the space of three weeks F 66 5 days
500mg 3X day
