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  Throat infection and flu symptoms Nausea, diarrhoea, feeling flat, anxiety, irritability, short tempered, unable to focus or concentrate, hot and cold flushes. I have suffered from slight anxiety before but taking Amoxicillin increased these feelings and emotions, plus felt really crap, unable to concentrate and I stopped taking it although the doctor recommended I continue to.. Felt better once I stopped taking it with nausea and sickness disappearing immediately but anxiety was worse 24 hours afterwards. It has been 48 hours and anxiety is slowly going away. I will not take it again.... M 39 4 days

 1  Throat infection Prescribed 500mg of amoxocillin 3x daily for 7days to help cure a throat infection. I'm on my 4th day and I feel worse. Feels as though it may have spread to my ear. Went to the ER and they told me its not an ear infection but the infection has spread to my nerves running along the side of my face and neck causing severe ear pain. Was prescribed T3's for the pain which I decided not to take and tough it through. Ear pain has subsided but I hear a constant buzzing and clogging as as if my ear lobe is plugged. I've been having very vivid terrifying dreams. One night I thought I was dying. I feel very tired and lethargic. Every time I wake up from a nap I'm covered in sweat. My stomach hurts so much. I have constant diarrhea. Feel very light headed and dizzy to the point where I cannot get out of bed. Could this all be caused by the amoxocillin?! I didn't even think about it until I read this thread. Scary stuff. Heading to the doc tomorrow to get some answers. Good luck everyone. Hopefully these symptoms will surpass. F 32 7 days

 3  Tonsillitis omg. i am having the worst anxiety and panic attacks ever. i have had them in the past but this is the nocturnal kind where i wake up freaking and can feel the adrenaline pumping out of my chest. The doc put me on 2000 mg per day and i am sensitive to medications! I think it is too much. It was an urgent care doc and I called them and they will not even talk to me, I have to come in again. Well my insurance sucks so I am trying to handle the rest of this on my own. I was really sick to begin with and now my tonsils are better, not back to normal. However, I cannot sleep...i am awake every hour or less and last night I had 2 hours split up with 3 panic attack sessions and i am still up. I have never asked my husband to stay home from work for anxiety/panic until today. I am freaking out big time. I have taken this drug before and it did not do this to me, but I have never taken 2000 mg per day. I know this is an amazing drug and I appreciate that it has helped me overcome severe tonsil infections in the past. However, this is scaring the crap out of me to have panic attacks like this. F 44 4.5 days
2000 mg 1X day

 1  Strep throat Feeling of being woolly headed after taking for one day but did not associate with amoxicillin. Sore eyes and dizziness. After day 3 checked side effects and was told to stop immediately if dizziness was felt. Never taken antibiotics for long time and would rather suffer sore throat than feel like I'm not on this planet. F 45 3 days

 5  lung infection/common flu Confusion/headaches The first 3 days of taking this medication, I experienced slight headaches, nothing too terrible, and i noticed that my teeth hurt whenever my head did. Once again, it was tolerable. I also found that I was a bit confused, when reading, or writing. However, after the first couple days, I experienced no side effects, and I could see that my illness had noticeably began to fade. F 17 2 weeks
