For Bacterial Infection "I was prescribed penicillin antibiotic after having a root canal. I was taking 3 pills of 500 mg a day for about 10 days. After about 5 days of taking it, I started having palpitations, night sweats, and cold feet. This drug is not for me."

For Strep Throat "I had strep throat. I began a 10-day course of penicillin. I began to experience all the major side effects, including diarrhea, heart palpitations, low pulse, fatigue, and anxiety, just to name a few. Needless to say, the strep went away. But next time I get it, I'll request another treatment."
