Severe diarrhoea on completion of course. Never had diarrhoea like this before. Tongue now bright red and swollen. Salts and potassium levels very low in spite of fluids+. lips and mouth very dry. Loss of appetite. Dizziness and muscle weakness. Oh to feel better!

I was prescribed this (generic version) for sinus infection. Completed 10 days of Novamoxin-Amoxicillin(3 tablets x 500 mg/day). 2 days later completing it, had a severe allergic reaction (bad hives, itching, rash). Went to emerg, it was that bad. Now day 9 after break-out: still itchy, but less (it's migrating), rash is diminishing, but am advised it could take up to 6 weeks for these to go ...

Took 125MG at 9 a.m. and another 12 hours later. That night suffered with moderate to severe abdominal cramping. Took another next morning with food and still some crimping and otherwise feel blaa all day. I may go to one a day in morning to avoid nighttime cramping.

It's ok, it didn't do anything weird. I only experienced the normal side effects. Sinitus is just a tough fish to fry. Now onto cefuroxime axetil, with yogurt at the ready.

I went to E.R. at hospital, had a chest x-ray, that should I had Pneumonia. The DR. prescribed Amoxicillin 875/ 125mg 1 tablet every 12hrs.. It's been 6 days, of 10 the only side-effect is mild diarrhea. After reading all the reviews about Amoxicillin, I read about taking probiotics to replace the good bacterial in the digestive system. I think this is worth more checking on.

Female, 64, great health as a rule, non-smoker, non-drinker, no other meds. Developed accute sinusitis and bronchitis and pneumonia in right lung before I went to a Walk-In Clinic. Was given Amoxicillin 875 (2x day for 14 days and Prednisone.) Never took either before- hadn't been to a doctorin years. Within 4 days I was nearly 100% better, and had so much energy (from which?) I finished a research project that had been dragging for years. I made sure to have the pills with food and ate lots of organic, no-fat, no-sugar yogurt. Slept like a babe, although I woke earlier and more refreshed. Appetite was great. Prednisone cleared my sinus passages and amoxicillin must have cleared my lungs. One side effect only (from which?): intense itching began on my inner wrists and gradually was felt in my feet as I slept. I cut down on Prednisone immediately and stopped taking amoxicillin at 23 pills rather than the 28. Took ten days for itching to subside but I'm still feeling super. Read More Read Less

The only problem I have with taking amoxicillin is that it always causes me to get a yeast infection.

this drug improved my acute sinus infection within 3 days. I was very weak and tired but do not know if it was the drug that caused the problem or not. It did do the job!!

I was prescribed amoxicillin 1000mg. I have to take 2 every 12 hours. Within minutes of the first dose I began experiencing diarrhea. Within a day my throat was looking much improved. I have also experienced a loss of appetite. I am now approaching day five without eating. I have tried to force myself to eat and everything I attempt tastes horrible! I've wasted a lot of food. Even drinks, including water tastes bad! I had already dropped 7 lbs due to the illness before I went to the doctor. I don't know how much more I have lost since, but pants I wore last week aren't able to stay up....I don't know if the dosage is too high, but I would ask my doctor for something different next time.Read More Read Less

This medication was prescribed by my DR for a serious sinus, and bronchial infection. After the second day on this medication I began to encounter serious pain in my chest, numbness in my arms, heavy sweating, and bad headaches. This condition only occurred when I became more active, and the more active I got, the worse it became, until I was forced to sit down and relax for a period of time. I felt like I was having a heart attack. I will be contacting my DR and see if there is some other drug that will take care of this infection without these side affects. Read More Read Less

I was told to take this for my strep throat so I did, and I did not feel any relief until about the third day. I actually started taking 600mg of Ibuprofin and that REALLY helped my soar throat, reduced the swelling in a few hours. So I had stomach pains after taking amoxicillan, on my last day of the dose the 10th day when my pills ran out. I had a bunch of water come out of my but when it should have been fecal matter. It was really wierd to say the least. During my taking the drug my stool had very foul odor and I did have the runs. Very wierd pill, but I do feel better. Hoping I wont have to take it ever again.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed 500mg and it was to low of a dose . I have no insurance so it was a big waste of money for the doctors visit and medication. My symptoms have gotten worse and I have no money to give.

Gas and upset stomach, other than that I've tolerated it pretty much..I'm on Coumadin and metropolol so there was no contraindications with these other meds.
