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 was prescribed amoxicillin for a sinus infection. (3 x 500mg / day) The good news is that the sinus pain was relieved within two days. On the other hand, I developed several side effects, which seem consistent with other reports I've read on this site. These include the common complaints of diarrhea and upset stomach. In addition, after about two days I started to experienced symptoms of a fever, including general body aches, slight head ache, chills and skin sensitivity, especially on my back. The strange thing is, I don't have a fever (temp. 97.9F). These symptoms seem worse at night. I suppose I could have some type of virus along with the sinus issue, but it seems strange that the onset of symptoms was so coincident with the amoxicillin treatment.

i feel like i have the flu (aches, chills, pains, fever,vomitting, upset stomach) but about 100 times more gloomy in my head and sleep barely feels comforting. this only happened after about 5 days on 2000mg for a nasty sinus infection.

Mild diarrhoea that comes out at the same time I urinated. About once per capsule taken.

Fever goes down, and goes back up again.
