Was ok on this last time and it's getting worse the longer I take. Anyone else had the same?

    Like wise, I have never had any trouble with amoxicillin before but had 2 days of feeling sick after about 4 days of amoxicillin. I called the out of hours GP who said if it is only feeling sick and not being sick it could be a side effect even though you have had no trouble before. I was adviced to stop taking it because I was almost at the end of the course but I have carried on taking it as I have Asthma and the infection has not yet let up. But I am going back to my own GP tomorrow for more advice as its my last dose and I need something stronger.

    I wish there was an out of hours G.P in England, but needless to say, that stopped about two years ago.   Amoxcillin is a better anti-biotic drug than some of the others and should have less side effects, i too have noticed that after the third or fourth day, the effects like headaches tummy upset and dizzyness, really start to kick in.
