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 Bacterial Infection "I don't like the Penicillin VK pill. I was taking this for swollen gums and a bad tooth, and it made me depressed, feverish, weak, and caused a slight headache. It did not seem to work much on my gums. As soon as I stopped taking it, I felt better."

For Bacterial Infection "I was diagnosed with BV and was prescribed Penicillin and MetroGel. I’ve had worse BV in the past and no side effects from the pills I took, but these, oh my gosh, I give 5 stars only because I know the medicine is working, but the way I’ve been feeling the last week is such a drag. My body is achy, and I feel extremely tired, and not to exaggerate, but even a little depressed, and can’t focus, and it’s affected my memory. Makes me feel like I just want to lay in bed. The smell of the pills is foul, and my urine smells like the pills. I understand antibiotics make you tired from them working, but I’ve never felt so lethargic before, and I drink plenty of water, and I eat very healthy. If I ever get BV again, I hope I don’t have to take Penicillin. I’m not giving a negative review, it’s just how my body reacted to it, everyone is different."
