Penicillin v potassium 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."

Penicillin v potassium 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."

For Skin or Soft Tissue Infection "Worked to some extent, but the first couple of days of taking it, I felt really nauseous, ended up with a fever, and was throwing up. I've stopped taking it since then. I will forever blame penicillin for making my worry about being nauseous and throwing up worse."
