Iast day I took these...day 6 an I'm still feeling the effects...low grade fever ...sinuses are worse....dry mouth...fatigue...smh | We all cant be crazy...this stuff is doing more harm than good...years ago this didnt bother me... they must be buying this overseas for cheap or something...wont take again tho that for sure | F | 43 | 3 days 500mg 2x d | 12/13/2019 | 2 | Insect bite | Itchy skin, anxiety, shakiness, neuropathy. Sleep issues. | I took this years ago with no problems. | F | 50 | 10 days 500mg | 12/10/2019 | 1 | Tooth Abcess and Removal | From the first dose I didn't feel right. I started out with my cheeks getting flushed and the 2nd day I started having heart palpitations. That evening after hours of crazy increased heart rate, I went to the er. They told me I was having a panic attack and nothing more, though I have no history of anxiety before. I stopped the treatment and took keflex instead which worked better, but I now have low grade anxiety that hasn't seemed to go away. It's been a few weeks now so I'm hoping that at some point I can get back to normal. | I will never take this again, and I'm hoping that the daily anxiety I now have will go away. | F | 40 | 2 days | 12/5/2019 | 3 | Uti | Brain fog/fuzzy, increased anxiety and I already have anxiety disorder. Nausea, Fatigue, lightheaded/dizzy | The side effects are from my uti treatment of the drug n then my previous treatment with it. I’ve had this twice for infections. I also breastfeed and my son hasn’t had any problems. | F | 19 | 14 days 500 | 11/22/2019 | 3 | Ear infection | I am wondering if these people experiencing these symptoms are actually experiencing a herxeimer reaction from Lyme bacteria die off and not a reaction to amoxicillin. If you normally dont feel 100%, have neuro problems, aches pains or other unexplainable symptoms normally you might want to look into possibly carrying lyme disease. Please comment with thoughts! | 10 days | 11/14/2019 | 1 | Sinus infection | Very breathless also muscle and joint pain can’t sleep also violent headache and severe stomachs pains | Terrible drug would not recommend this coughing even worse feeling worse than when I started | F | 0 days 100 mg | 10/30/2019 | 2 | Infected molar/tooth extraction | Insomnia, mild mid sternal discomfort, anxiety, diarrhea.

I’ve never been a fan of taking any form of medication & I’ve haven’t had any serious health problems to need to do so. While taking this I only lasted three days. At first it started with sharpness in my chest, a few days later I caught the worst headache ever I was lightheaded and dizzy . I then started to feel like I couldn’t breath, as if something was putting pressure on my chest(not anxiety related). It felt like my chest was on fire. I also have severe heartburn and some depression. Major hot flashes and tingling in my limbs. I’m glad I came to this forum because I thought something was really wrong with me until I looked into the side affects & NEVER AGAIN. IDC it’s not worth it. | F | 25 | 7 days 500 | 9/24/2019 | 1 | Sinusitis | Anxiety which made me feel like I was losing control, fevers, chills, muscle spasms in legs and feet, painful muscles and joints, headaches, dry eyes, swollen mouth & lips, tingling sensation over complete body, especially legs, stomach cramps, shooting pains in eyes, severe yeast infection and spotting, terrible brain fog and feeling dizzy, hair falling out and snapping off. | I am still experiencing brain fog and shooting pains in eyes and feeling weak and achy, and forearms are very achy and sore. During the second dose of this medication I phoned for ambulance on three occasions as I had never felt so ill in all my life and just wanted help. They checked my heart, did ECG's, tested blood sugar, all was fine. Nobody suggested the way I was feeling was down to the medication and offered no help or advice. Now five weeks on, I still have brain fog and pains behind eyes, and just feel I have no energy and still coping with anxiety which I have never had before in my life. I have just started my second month course of max strength probiotics which I hope will help me get my life back. All my life I have trained and worked out daily and kept fit. I so want to be back to me. Has anyone else had on going side effects like this, and if so for how long ? I just want some hope that all this is going to end. | F | 62 | 10 days 500 4X day | 9/24/2019 | 1 | Strep | Finished last pill two days ago.... still feeling side effects....stomach pain every morning....feels like my intestine not working...dont have a appetite....feeling space headed....fatigue...mood swings...muscle jerks from time to time... all all the side effects came during the 2nd to last day.... seems like they need to find another to get rid of strep...cause amoxicillin feels like I'm bout to clock out of here... | the other antibiotics are way worst than this one....I just pray I dont have to put myself thru this shit again | F | 43 | 5 days 500mg 2x d | 9/21/2019 | 1 | Double ear infection | Mental confusion,Mood swings,Anxiety,Panicking,Itching,Headaches,depression | Im not gonna say don't take it because everyone reacts different but for me it was a bad experience | M | 19 | 10 days 500MG | 9/21/2019 | 1 | Bacterial infection | Insomnia, depression, dizziness, extreme stomach cramps.
