Amoxicillin and sleep

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'll add to the ever growing list!

Im on a 10 day course of 500mg X 3 a day, for Eustachian tube dysfunction with secondary otitis media with effusion (basically, my right ear is stuffed!).

My pain started to reside at about day 5, although I started to become really weapy, miserable, restless, unable to sleep till 6am, not much of a appetite, super forgetful (I can't remember things I thought about 30 seconds ago) and my legs are kind achey.

I never really have had much of a problem with antibiotics but this one is killing me! 4 days to go! Wahooo!

I went to the doctor two days ago, prescribed with amoxicillin for sinus infection (250mg 3x/day). I have asthma as well so the infection has hit me pretty hard. After taking my 4th dose last night there were noticible changes in my sinuses for the better, everything was clearing up, still a runny nose but now clear instead of green/yellow. Before taking the meds I had a terrible itchy throat as well from all the drainage and that is gone as well even though I'm still draining. Side effects last night were no fun though. I've had no appetite as it is, so I eat light before taking any meds at the least, had a yogurt and an apple before taking the meds and I don't know if it was the combination of food and antibiotics or just side effects, but I got a terrible feeling in my stomach like a burning sensation and was also nauseous...wasn't able to sleep for another 4 hours because I was going back and forth to the bathroom. Finally did get to sleep and woke up 6 hours later having to use the bathroom immediately upon waking and that was very unpleasant. A very high yellow diarrhea, and smelled horrible. Still not feeling better, have no idea what to eat and approaching my next dose...gah!

The first time I was given Amoxil was when I was 17 and nothing else would stop me from throwing up. Within a matter of hours after taking ONE tablet I stopped throwing up but became extremely agitated, had trouble breathing, couldn't sit still and this seemed to worsen as it became night time as I'd be lucky to get 2 hrs sleep across 3 nights. I'm now 23 and I fell ill again recently and was again prescribed amoxil-thinking it may not happen again i took it and once again was had insomnia for at least 3-4 days and felt very unstable. At night i will shake for hours. The worst side effect for me by far is the mental state that i go through. My doctor didn't seem to understand how only taking one tablet of amoxil could affect me so severely for such a period of time. After searching for side effects im relieved to know I'm not the only one.

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!!

sinus infection: 500mgx2 a day, on 7th day feel a lot better, but have also experienced a lot of side effects like others, worse for me is dizziness and fuzzy mind, want to sleep more, not a headache, just not feeling normal light headed as if i could pass out at times! obviously strong stuff!

i am taking amoxicillin for a sinus infection. the first night after taking amoxicillin, i had trouble sleeping, but when i did sleep, i woke up with night terrors/nightmares. i have been extremely moody and short tempered, which is unlike me. there is a constant mild headache and a bit of depression. i am on day 6 of 14 and very tired.
