Amoxicillin / clavulanate for Sinusitis "I've taken this briefly before but don't remember having side effects like this time around. I wake up in the middle of the night with nausea. I've had stabbing headaches that are worse than my usual vertiginous migraines. My stomach is so bloated and just very upset all the time. My ears feel better, but I started another allergy med at the same time, so I don't know if it's due to that or this. I certainly wouldn't take this med unless you really need it. Can't wait to finish."

For Middle Ear Infections "In a home of 6, 5 of us were prescribed this medication, me and the kids (16, 6 & 4) together and the hubby 4 days earlier, so we pretty much knew what we were getting: headache, sinus pressure, stiff neck, diarrhea and vomiting, exhaustion, stuffed nose, stomach ache, and cramps. Both my daughter and I got our periods early too. I was the one who made it out with the worst pains ever. (Female 46) Still taking it, but will never take it again! Nor will I put my kids through this pain."

Amoxicillin / clavulanate for Strep Throat "In 2015, my doctor prescribed me Augmentin 625 for 10 days. After completing this course, my strep throat problem was gone, but I haven't been able to sleep for several months, sweating, feeling like my body is shaking and having nightmares. The next 6 months, acid reflux with too much burping, with lots of air coming out and stomach cramps and problems with my throat and colon, and from time to time, ear pain. I started treatment like GARD and IBS, but my health became poor, even my immunity power went down. In the next 6 months, I stopped all drugs and started taking a healthy diet and regular exercise. I feel better and better."

For Pneumonia "It was alright, but truthfully I used apple cider vinegar and rubbing alcohol to cure my ear infection at least 3/4 times faster than this med did. Tummy issues with this, and it took forever to kick in... unless it was just my natural hippy-dippy remedy."

Amoxicillin / clavulanate for Sinusitis "I was prescribed Augmentin 875 mg every 12 hours 2 days ago. Today (after 4 tabs), I began to have diarrhea and stomach aches. I was prescribed this drug because my indoor cat got loose outdoors and scared and scratched my hand and bit me. I am a senior lady who has had a blocked intestine before, and after surgery got C. diff and am afraid to continue this drug as I may have a reoccurrence. I'm stopping the dosage tonight and will see the MD tomorrow. I want off this drug! Oh, the reason I had C. diff was because I got Salmonella in the hospital and was given so much IV antibiotics."

For Sinusitis "After getting a sinus infection, I was prescribed this medication. Ate before I took it, and within an hour and a half, had a severe headache, complete nausea with stomach cramping. I was in a horrible mood, fell asleep for an hour with a pillow pulled into my stomach, woke up feeling better. I regret having to use it again, strong medication, major side effects. Here, it works great, so I'll try and get through this. Pray for me."
