702036 tn?1259539116 You need to get rid of your infection first and foremost. As others have said, you might notice additional side effects but it comes with the territory. I took antibiotics for 7 days while on TX and it was a hard 7 days but it got rid of my infection.

Avatar f tn I'm 52 and was prescribed macrobid for a UTI. Shortly after taking it I started having really severe heart palpitations. I have had them off and on since I was 29 and have been told it's probably due to my hypoglycemia. I'm very sensitive to certain medications and I looked this one up and it says it should not be prescribed to older people who have a debilitating condition. I am extremely anemic and may have internal bleeding in my intestinal area. My dr.
2030686 tn?1351688548 I started double therapy yesterday and I just wanna make sure my sides are normal.. I had the chills from time to time, but I was hot more. What I'm concerned about is my legs and hips hurt so bad I could barely walk. I 'm on a high dose of vicodin and it didn't seem to touch this pain. I had a small amount of chest pain on the left side, but it was mild pain and didn't last long. I took a hot bath for my legs and it helped for a little while, but the pain came back.
Avatar m tn They are often prescribed together. There is some question whether Buspar works at all, but some believe it does help Paxil work better. As for withdrawal being "easily" remedied, I wonder if that poster has ever been on Paxil or any other ssri? Easy isn't really the description many would use. And I don't think that difference in dosage will affect your withdrawal.
Avatar m tn anyone else have side effects AFTER STOPPING augmentin after the full 10 day dose? I have been off for two days and have awful sweating and hot flashes. I am male, and in relatively good shape. bp has been in the 140/70 range for three days. odd stuff. Ive usually had plain ole amoxicillin, but this stuff takes the cake.
Avatar m tn t help but feel that there is a lot of missing information out there about possible side effects. Has anyone else experienced anything like this lately?
Avatar n tn For all of my life I have experienced muscle twitches. They happened a lot when I was little, and seem to happen when I have caffiene or when I am anxious. They control a lot of my life, and affect falling asleep, what position I sit in, and make me extremely irritable. More recently, like about five years ago, I began to have painful tingling in my arms, but almost never both at the same time.
Avatar f tn I was on amoxicillin for a bad tooth and this may be a side effect? I have a history of becoming panicked and depressed in situations involving STDs and made myself sick with possible similar symptoms and never tested positive for anything. Something feels different this time.I have gone for testing 19 days post exposure and and took an oraquick test at 21 days which I know may have been pointless. But the Internet said it may.
Avatar m tn These antibiotics cause the least liver damage and only patients who are allergic may experience some side effects. Generally, antibiotics in the penicillin family are the most “liver friendly” and safe for chronic hepatitis patients to use. But this website: http://www.hepcnet.net/drugsandliverdamage.html Drugs that may cause CHOLESTATIC JAUNDICE actinomycin D chlorpropamide erythromycin amoxicillin/clavulanate The advice is to read the label information carefully. Short term use is fine.
7558356 tn?1410715309 That does sound awful. I googled the side effects during pregnancy, and nothing what I have been feeling is considered a symptom besides nausea. Idk I just got to the doctors office so I'm hoping that they have more insight, because I'm miserable!
Avatar f tn Hello, I was told by a doctor I might have a chest infection so she put me on 500mg of amoxicillin three times a day. I'm also on diazepam for muscle spasms and anxiety. I cannot remember is she said it was ok go take them both together. If ok to take together this will put my mind at rest and stop me panicing.
1090937 tn?1259215095 It may be due to mainly the fact that the child is in less pain and thus is catching up on lost or disturbed sleep. However watch out for rash and loose stool, which are the commonest side effects. If the child remains sleepy even after 24-48 hours consult the doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn I have had an absess for 3 years now I went through all of the pain in the first year and the swelling and now I have really bad pain some times and a really bad smell all of the time also a lot of my fillings ar chipped off and falling out also I am getting a lot o new cavitys I have also lost my appitite what is going to happen if I don't fix it?
Avatar n tn I was given a prescription of more darvocet and amoxicillin 500mg. well the amoxicillin gave me bad side effects, nausea, vomitting, diarehea. so i stopped taking them. i notified the dentist 10/9/06 of the amoxicillin side effects i was then told i probably didn't need them and not to worry about taking another antibiotic. on 10/10/06 i awoke to find my face on the left side swollen and painful.
Avatar m tn s a prescription, it is at a higher dose. The amoxicillin is an antibiotic, as you likely already know. The most common side effects with either of these is stomach upset or pain. If either occurs, discontinue and consult your doctor.
Avatar n tn The treatment that you have been prescribed is correct. If you are having any side effects then get the antibiotics changed and even oral antibiotics can be added. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
676912 tn?1332812551 It is also reasonable to expect that an overdose would cause any of the usual amoxicillin side effects, but perhaps more severely. For instance, it is possible that nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea would occur. Treatment for an Amoxicillin Overdose The treatment for an amoxicillin overdose will vary. If the overdose was recent, a healthcare provider may administer certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach.
Avatar n tn This reaction increases the risk of dangerous side effects, both from the over consumption of alcohol and from the antibiotics. Read more: What Happens When You Drink Alcohol While on Antibiotics? | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/about_5124111_happens-drink-alcohol-antibiotics.
Avatar f tn I have to go to school and drive many places, and having dizzy spells and nausea concern me. I took amoxicillin this past year with no side effects. No nausea or anything. Does that mean that this antibiotic will possibly be the same way? I take my first dose tonight and I don't want to wake up and take it, only to have to miss school again because I cant get to school due to the dizziness and nausea.
Avatar f tn This might seem crazy but it's been going on for about 4 months now. Everytime I drink, whether it be one drink or 5 drinks, I wake up about 1-2 hrs after I go to bed with a racing/pounding heart and I'm real hot and sweaty. It's almost like an anxiety attack. Alcohol has never bothered me before and I was wondering if anyone had a clue about what could be causing this.
Avatar f tn Apparently the naltrexone/naloxone disrupts the absorbtion of alcohol into the bloodstream and she could not ever feel the effects of the alcohol. I have also read of a treatment for alcoholics where they are prescibed daily doses of naltrexone for this reason. To prevent them feeling any "beneficial effects"of alcohol. I hope this helps to answer your question.
Avatar n tn Allergic reactions to antibiotics do not typically manifest as dizziness or fogginess, but rather rash, itching, angioedema (swelling of the mouth, and in severe cases the airway). Corticosteroids can lead to several side effects including a sense of fogginess (and in others a sense of euphoria/insomnia), typically high rather than low blood pressure, and other side effects (even one dose of high doses of steroids can lead to acute confusion in older adults).
Avatar m tn Ahh thank you so much. I've seen that people get an allergy immediately, but I hadn't read about anyone developing an allergic reaction to it!!
