"I was prescribed Augmentin for a severe double kidney infection. Although , I took a second dose way before I was due to have it, in fact about 2 hours after the first dose , due to the fact and my reasoning to get on top of this infection. The first dose was no problems I couldn't even tell that I had taken it . The second dose , within ten minutes I had the worst anxiety I have ever experienced as well as , a panic attack with heart palpitations, chest pain and tightness and the general feeling I was suddenly at the end of my life. I had the phone in one hand getting ready to call 911 with the reasoning to myself that I could have mere moments left to be able to even make the call and the other hand trying to keep my balance as I had Severe shaking and muscle twitching and the sense I had little control over my own body’s . Never again , I would rather take my chances against the double kidney infection ."

"Augmentin makes me completely sick! I must be like the 1% who is allergic to it! I always have to list it as an allergy and make sure something else is prescribed instead of this!"

"Was prescribed this Augmentin (875/125) 2 doses a day for 7 days after being misdiagnosed with a UTI and on Keflex for a week before that did nothing for my fever or pain or infection. When I was finally diagnosed with a Kidney infection, I started taking Augmentin. I’m on day 3 and feeling SO much better without my fever and kidney pain. However I am having mild side affects. I get a decent headache within hours of taking each dose, and there is some diarrhea. However taking it with food lessens those side effects and the main thing I know is helping is taking good probiotics daily as well that has helped keep my flora balanced and prevent the thrush a lot of people experience after this medication. Very effective, just be sure to replenish the good bacteria in your system as you are taking it."
