For Bacterial Infection "I'm taking this for a tooth infection that started to spread. My lymph nodes were very painful and swollen. This med makes me feel dizzy, anxious, and a pressure in my head. It reminds me of taking cold medications. I hate that part of it. But it also seems to be fighting this tooth infection. My tooth and lymph nodes are not hurting as badly, and swelling has gone down. Still have a few days left, though."

For Bacterial Infection "I was taking penicillin for strep throat 4 times a day, every 6 hours. The second day, I started to feel weird, like confused. My doctor told me to take it for 10 days, but I hated the side effects. I feel like this medication triggered me to feel anxiety and depression."

For Skin or Soft Tissue Infection "I took this medication for a nerve infection and ate food while I was taking it, but within a couple of days, I started feeling nauseous, had a fever, and was throwing up. Ever since then, I've stopped taking it. Will NEVER take this medication again due to it causing me to be more anxious and more worried about being nauseous and throwing up."
