Amoxicillin and headaches

500mg 3 times a day for 10 days, vomited once, have had a horrible headache that started day b4 yesterday, still kinda have it, comes in waves, sux real bad lol

i have Sinusitis, Bronchitis, and a severe respiratory infection.

i see some guy on here mad cuz the doctor didn't tell him he would have bad headaches, like the doctor was going to know in advance he would. this anti-biotic affects different ppl different ways, its really not his responsibility to go over every single side-effect this very common anti-biotic is going to have, thats why the pharmacy gives you a huge pamphlet informing you on the medication, if you would had read it then you would see that headache, diarrhea, and constipation are all common side-effects

i didn't read it however, until i came here and read what i read, which is comforting really cuz at least i know why i have the headache so bad, and why i lost my lunch yesterday, was actually worried maybe i had an infection in my brain and thats why i had it, i know, sounds dumb, but what can i say, im paranoid lol

i took amoxicillin for 3 days because of a tooth infection and on the 3rd day i went in to my dentist to get a root canal. after the root canal i experienced crazy headaches, nausea and vomiting. after 24 hours i started to feel better and of course i stopped taking all meds.

after all this i started getting really depressed and started thinking about death due to reading up on tooth infections spreading to the brain and heart. i don't know.. i wish i would've taken care of my teeth better. if i survive then it's a lesson learned.

Horrible experience with amoxicillin, which was prescribed for a nasty sinus infection. Major nausea, fatigue, feeling lightheaded and dehydrated. All I wanted to do was to sleep. Missed 2 weeks from work. The nausea was completely debilitating. But curiously, get hungry at the same time was feeling nauseated. When I do get some food, I have to force myself to eat it. Also had major headaches. Got sort of paranoid that something else was seriously wrong with me!
Have been off amoxicillin for a little over a week. Feeling VERY depressed and hopeless. I want so bad to get back to my normal life, but it is like I have no energy or desire to push on. I have to literally FORCE myself out of bed and to work. Very concerned here and do not want to have to start taking an antidepressant. Does anyone know how long these effects will last or what I can do? Doctor gave me an additional prescription for Cipro, but I am afraid to take it because I feel like I am trapped in a vicious cycle and these feelings will only get worse. I am not used to taking meds!!

Bad headaches that will not go, aching all over, feels like someone has kicked me severely in the stomach, i'm assuming its the amoxicillin, I have been taking it 5 days now to clear up tonsillitis, 2 days to go yey:)

Two weeks ago I came down with a really bad case of strep throat. It started out with headaches (which I thought were migraines), then I got the sore throat, and by the time I was able to get to the doctor it was very severe and they put me on 875 mg of Amoxicillin twice a day. I started to feel better and the sore throat went away very quickly. I'm generally I very healthy person and have no allergies, so I did not even consider that any adverse side effects were possible for me. However, about 8 days into the 10-day cycle, I came home in the evening and began to change when I noticed red spots on my chest and shoulders. I quickly made the connection and got on Benadryl, but the rash spread quickly. The next morning I woke up with swollen lips and swelling around the eyes, as well as small reddish swollen areas all over my face. By Sunday it had spread to my legs, where it was by far the worst. It is now Wednesday, and it has faded a great deal above the waist, but it looks horrible and discolored from the waist down and my doctor told me it might take "a while" (a week? more?) to clear up completely. I have also noticed that I've been bruising very easily (I have marks all over my shoulder from the strap of my shoulderbag, which is not even very heavy, and I do NOT bruise easily under normal conditions.) It's making me pretty miserable and I can't stop looking at my legs and wondering when they will look normal again.

Also, I got the upset stomach (not too badly though) and a mild yeast infection.

I wish doctors would not be so free and easy will antibiotics.
