Amoxicillan whiped me out

[BLADE]

I got wrecked recently on Amox for root canal, did not need it and stopped after 3rd day but for the first time in my life I found out what kaopectate is for. I just was not getting better so I saw my doctor and he gave me Cipro and I have been eating yogurt, way way better and almost back to normal now. Apparently Amoxicillan can whipe out your friendly mix of bacteria and then a few come back strong, without the diversity your digestive tract gets quite irritated from their output toxins.

I have taken it many times but the last 2 times my body said no way so I will be choosing something else from now on.

btw - None of the herbal remedies ( 1 billion organisms ) did anything but remove my money.

I don't know what this posting is doing here, but I have the same problem. Cipro however doesn't target the same stuff amox does. Ask your doctor, the next time, for Azrithromyacin (The Z-Pack). The first days dose is 2 pills, which may or may not mess you up but the next 4 days is only one pill, which is usually less bothersome. And it's only 5 days compared to Amox which is 3 pills a day for longer. Usually. The Z-Pack is the bomb.

This is the "Supplements and Drugs" forum, amox and cipro are drugs.

I am currently taking cipro.
