Once first dose was over (500mg/125mg), I was put on a stronger dose (875mg/125mg) and it's here where dizziness, migraine and anxiety symptoms still was affecting me.

I suffer from anxiety on a regular basis but the anxiety this drug causes is on another level. The biggest issue is the suicidal thoughts. I'm 22 and have an amazing life and family there is zero reason I should be minutes away from ending my life. This medicine did that to me it made me plan out and almost follow through with taking my life. Please do not take this it's not worth the risk, if anyone is reading this going through what I did please call someone email me do something do not cave into the thoughts they are lies! | M | 22 | 10 days 875mg 2X day | 12/15/2020 | 3 | Bladder Infection | Tingling in left foot started, then left leg felt patches of numbness and leg felt heavy.

Serious stomach pain from gas that is trapped and just will not move. I have never been so bloated before. I look like I'm pregnant and my stomach feels stretched so far it could burst. Just generally feeling awful and hoping this isn't permanent damage. Not sure I would take this again. Not unless my life depended on it.

I was prescribed Amoxicillin and a whoppin' 240 MG of Sudafed as well. I was to take 1 sudafed and 2 Amoxicillin for 7 days.The past few days have been an absolute nightmare as far as trying to get a decent nights sleep. The sudafed gave me insanely terrible headaches. When I told my doctor, he informed me to stop taking the sudafed after 2 days and only take the Amoxicillin. I thought my troubles were over but now, I'm still have bad headaches (not as intense as the sudafed) and I still cannot sleep because of the headaches at night. I'm also starting to urinate more and have really bad diarrhea as well. I worry about not getting enough sleep to go through the day and have anxiety when I going to my bedroom to sleep. My sinuses are clear now, but I cannot continue with this medicine to finish off the 7 days as directed. I can only hope that what I've taken will leave my system soon so that I can get a good nights sleep. I've even taken a muscle | This caused anxiety, really bad insomnia, frequent urination and diarrhea. | M | 42 | 5 days 125 MG 2X day | 9/15/2020 | 3 | Sinus infection | Diarrhea, bloating & gas, body pain, spine pain, migraines, mouth pain with swollen taste buds, dry mouth, throat pain, nerve twitching in legs | Was taking it for sinus Infection & ear pain, helped 60% | F | 41 | 10 days 500 2X day | 9/14/2020 | 1 | Wisdom tooth extraction | dizziness, swelling of throat, disoriented, convulsions, anxiety, vaginal discharge, weakness | I was prescribed this for a wisdom tooth extraction with a possible infection. The first 3 days were fine and then I started experiencing swelling of my neck and a lump in my throat, dizziness, confusion, anxiety, shortness of breath. I immediately stopped the antibiotic and it's been about 36 hours but I'm still experiencing a lump in my throat, brain fog, leg weakness, muscle spasms and jerking. I thought I had brain damage and was about to go to the ER until I found this thread. I'm hoping it passes quickly and I'm able to recover fully but I will never take this drug or any penicillin like antibiotic ever again. | F | 31 | 3 days 2X day | 9/3/2020 | 3 | Dental infectiom | Makes me feel real groggy a little while after taking it. Also having on again off again diarrhea. | At least it’s killing the infection, but the side-effects are not fun to live with. I’ll be glad when I’m done with it. | F | 67 | 8 days 500 MG | 8/13/2020 | 2 | I was given amoxicillin do to an infection that occurred under one of the roots of a molar which had a root canal 12 years ago, after the root was recleaned I was told to take 500mg three times a day for five days, I was given the amoxicillin by the dentist in a small white envelope, no warnings or drug info. I am sensitive to drugs that effect the CNS. The first day was doable, I did notice feeling foggy and strange after the 3rd pill, the second day I took the morning dose and felt ok, when I took the next dose the effects were stronger, fog, lightheaded, off balance, feeling a pressure and slight heat on face, anxious like gripping off the side of a cliff, agitated. The tooth pain had decreased about 75% at that point and I strongly felt if I continued on with this drugs things would get worse, so I stoped taking it; I would rather pull the tooth then get sick on this drug. It took about 24 hours after stopping to clear the fog, this was after 5 pills in 1.5 days. The fog lifted with a snap and I felt normal again. | Trust your body and be clear on side effects before taking. Not everyone has an issue. | F | 55 | 0 days 3X day | 8/13/2020 | 1 | Wisdom teeth extraction | Fatigue, nausea, irritability, anxiety, neg thoughts, problems focusing - these symptoms occurred on day 4 and 5 in earnest. Never had any issues like these before | Terrible experience. Took same drug like 5 yrs ago without any issues. I quit taking it two days before schedule. Now, three days after my last dose, I still feel down/out of it. Wonder how long this will linger | M | 45 | 7 days 500 mg | 8/13/2020 |
