| Add Amoxicillin review My dentist prescribed 1500 mgs daily to clear up an abcessed tooth so it could be pulled. My only problems were that it has made me very tired, but it did reduce the swelling in the abcessed tooth; and also gave me a headache each day. Prrescribed Amoxicillin QID 500mg post root canal surgery. Besides the normal intestinal distress, developed dry eye syndrome and severe tinnitus. Will not take again. This medication causes anxiety issues Ive been prescribed Amoxicillin along with other medications to treat my H. Pylori infection. i don't know if it was the infection or the medication, but i do have frequent bowl movements and i usually feel really nauseous. my trips to the bathroom were long and very frequent, frequent enough to occur at least twice or three times during school. for anyone who is taking this medication or taking t ... I developed constipation and passed a hard stool giving me hemmorrhoids, leaving me with a bloated abdomen and queasy feeling and flu like symtoms.

Overall I'm satisfied with my doctors c ... I have used Bactrim in the past with no side effects, taking it at bedtime, for adult acne.

I might be able to tolerate it if I took it in the morning instead, but haven't tried yet. I have been on a 10 day course of Bactrim DS for an infected knee cyst. I experienced mild nausea and headache if I took the meds on an empty stomach but otherwise temperature regulation (chills/sweating) was the only side effect I experienced.I did take Align probiotics once a day to combat those "other" side effects. I took this medication for a large abscess on my arm. I took this medication with a B vitamin complex, which I read can drastically reduce the side effects (a B9 vitamin supplement is what you need, folic acid). . I have been told when taking antibiotics, it's good to help replenish the natural bacteria in the gut with a probiotic, so I'm going to be taking a probiotic along with B9 at lunchtim ... | |||
