Have had the flu for 6 days, taking 500 mg 3 times a day for accompanying bacterial infection on the chest. I had 40ยบ temperature for the first four days felt awful due to that but now on reflection I believe the amoxicillin is causing mood problems; feeling furious about insignificant things, crying triggered by sad news stories (I am a man) waves of hopelessness and depression, today I sat in the kitchen and wept feeling pessimistic and overwhelmed by life.
The first 2 days that I felt ill I had no negative mood, just fever and headache, before I started taking the antibiotic. Also I think the first dose caused me to vomit.

I have been taking Remicade for years. At first it was getting the job done. I started having severe pain that seemed to migrate to different places in my body. Sometimes the bottom of my feet would get so tender I could barely walk. My finger would bend while sleeping and I could not straighten it for days and it would hurt real bad. Knees and ankles would do the same things and then move onto other parts of my body. I thought it was more of a tendon problem, but the pain could also be in any random spots on my body, like shins or maybe a random place on my back. My wrists seem to be a favorite place too. The pain can set in fast and sometimes leave fast. Prednisone is the only thing that seems to help these symptoms. I have been taking 5mg a day for years and when I am having problems that is not enough. I went to a Rheumatologist and he says it is not the Remicade but another antimmune problem. My family doctor thinks it is a side affect of the Remicade and I tend to agree with him. I am going to have my damaged pouch removed in hopes of getting off all medications. I have been living with a colostomy bag for the past three years and it is the least of my problems. Before that I had all my large intestines removed and a pouch which worked well for approx 15 years. I am one of the early people to receive that kind of surgery. I can only pray for all of you that are suffering and lend hopeful advise to your journey.
