Amoxicillin "I was on this for 3-4 days for a bacterial infection from a wisdom teeth removal (nearly 3 months after). I noticed that I was getting constipated, took something for that. Then had consistent diarrhea for 2 days, also with constant nausea. I have since stopped since it got rid of all my bacteria in my gut. Slowly getting back to normal."

"I am really surprised that antibiotics helped me with my back pain. 100% of my back pain went away. No painkiller or other back pain medicines helped. Most of the doctors do not give prescriptions of antibiotics for lower back pain. I was given antibiotics for something else, but it cured my back pain. I used doxycycline for 10 days, then amoxicillin for the next 10 days. I asked the doctor to give me a second dose because I felt it was curing lower back pain. People suffering from lower back pain, please try antibiotics, hopefully, it will fix your back pain problem."

"Always worked like a charm for me, took care of different infections with no side effects, until I came across amoxicillin manufactured by Sandoz company. Their amoxicillin gives me terrible cramps and diarrhea. The bad news - it's difficult to find a different supplier in my area. So, if you have problems with this medication - it might be the manufacturer, not the medication itself."

"Day one, nauseous. Day two, vomiting. Oh my gosh, day three: diarrhea three times, horrible, and nighttime bad aches and pains. Now I've had sepsis, worst pain ever, say a 10/10. Amoxicillin 6/10 for pain, can't sleep, helps if you sit up at night, try distracting yourself by reading!"

"Taking my last dose in about 2 hours from now. (7 days of 500 mg, 3 times daily). Ear drainage was more conspicuous during sleep hours and was much more conspicuous this last night. To me, it would seem that the medicine didn't work as intended. Have had no pain during this episode, and the infection was confirmed by the doctor through sampling and testing of the tan-colored drainage. Am going back to the doctor today for further analysis."

"Today is day 7 of my 10-day round of Amoxicillin for an infected toenail. Yes, it clears up the infection. But, not without intense lingering headaches all day long, starting when I first wake up. Tylenol has very little effect on the pain. Laying in a quiet dark room helps a little bit for about an hour, then it's back to throbbing, ringing ears, and nausea. It feels like an intense migraine and tension headache combined. I am prone to yeast infections with Amoxicillin, so I took two rounds of Diflucan as well. That wasn't the issue this time."

"I've got a large abscess in my gum. I was prescribed amoxicillin 500 mg, but it has not helped one bit. I've got my tongue, lip, and belly button pierced, hard lumps started forming next to the piercings, making them uncomfortable to wear jewelry in. I had to take them out. My mood has changed, I have become unusually irate and depressed. The medication also smells very strong and very weird."

"I was on a cruise ship and caught a throat infection. The ship’s doctor recommended amoxicillin. I took it for two days, three times a day after meals. The bad side effects were diverse and extreme. Nausea, fatigue, very bad headache, etc. I stopped using it, and it took 3 days for the side effects to dissipate. Never again! This drug should be viewed with extreme caution, and if side effects occur, stop using it immediately."

"I was put on amoxicillin yesterday. I have had what we believe is a virus for a week, but it spread to my chest and a secondary bacterial infection formed. I couldn't breathe easily, especially in my right bronchial area, there was a burning sensation and my heart rate was higher than normal, so I couldn't sleep easily. In the past 24 hours, I've had 3 pills, and the burning sensation is nearly gone. I had an excellent night's sleep. However, tonight the inside of my lips began to swell. I have no known allergies and have taken amoxicillin before. Luckily, the swelling seems to have stopped without them getting noticeably large, so I'm going to go to sleep and see how it is tomorrow. I'm tempted to try continuing the course for the remaining 4 days because it's really helped, but I know it's said if you get swelling, that's considered a severe reaction and to discontinue. Curious what others would advise having had a similar reaction."

"Had strep infection of the throat, doctor prescribed amoxicillin, and within the third day I had gotten a yeast infection and broke out in hives all over my legs, stomach, and arms. I've had amoxicillin before and never had a reaction, I'm not sure if it was the dosage or not, but I stay clear away from it now."

"Warning! Because I care and want women to be safe and cautious! Every time I have taken amoxicillin/Augmentin, it has disrupted my birth control. I am on Nexplanon. I get my periods back right away when I begin taking any sort of antibiotics like amoxicillin and other antibacterial medicines. I know online it says it doesn’t interfere with birth control, but it is not impossible! This so needs to be addressed in the medical field as women should be aware so we don’t end up with unwanted pregnancies! Be careful, ladies, you might want to use extra contraception while on these medications. Other than that, amoxicillin has helped with my dental procedures and ear infections."

"I was treated in an Urgent Care Center for an infection. I am rather sensitive to antibiotics and so warned the nurse treating me. She prescribed the drug (875 mg, 2X daily). I took the first pill with a meal about 6 PM. I awoke at 2 AM with tremendous abdominal pain and diarrhea. I called 911 and was taken to the hospital via ambulance. I was there for 5 days while they treated me mainly for dehydration. I was near death."

"I have just started taking this medicine this time around for a very nasty cold that has gone bad! My doctor is against giving this medicine to his clients, so I feel lucky to have obtained it. I am a 61-year-old man who has taken this particular pill several times in the past during my lifetime, but it seems to me that it is no longer as potent as it once was. I know that my body may have become tolerant to this drug, so that may be part of the effect, but I don't think the pharmacy industry is giving the full potency as they once did either. I hope that by tomorrow I will feel much better because I am so sick of being sick!"
