My husband took this medication for tick fever. The tick fever is back. But the main thing is the severe left arm and chest pain he has had since he took it. I'm not sure at this point what will happen or fix the problem, but I never want him taking this medicine again. He is in constant pain.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THIS DRUG!! Yes it is a common antibiotic, but if you are like me, you should not take it. I have an allergy to amoxil and any others in its family. I took this drug for a simple sore throat, I was on day 4 of it and thought it was time I saw a doctor. They tested me for Strep and it came back negative, but they gave me an antibiotic anyway.

I took this drug for a simple sore throat, I was on day 4 of it and thought it was time I saw a doctor. They tested me for Strep and it came back negative, but they gave me an antibiotic anyway. Within 30 mins of taking the first dosage of the Z pack, I was dizzy, weak, nauseated, all in all, I felt like I was going to die. I threw up for about 7 hours, called my doctor and they gave me a pill to stop the nausea. I could barely sleep that whole night. The next morning, I started throwing up again. I felt like someone took a sledgehammer to my wrists, neck, knees, and calfs. The joint and muscle pain was so awful I couldn't even stand or walk. My insides felt like they had been rearranged. If I sat down, they would hurt like a vibrating jello mold. I couldn't go to the bathroom at all. Then by the evening I started developing a tingling in my finger tips and then hands. Not all the time, just if I stood up too quick or walked around for more than a minute. Please consider taking a different antibiotic if you have any allergies to medication. No one should feel this way at all.

I get the flu like symptoms often which we believe to be more allergies but the doctor always prescribes me a z pac and I feel better within a couple of days. I have learned the early signs of when I get sick so I can get it started as soon as possible before it becomes really bad. I love this medicine and haven't had any side effects from it.
