I was been given the amoxicillin because of high blood pressure. Even if it worked well I suffered pain and shaking on my left side. That’s why am afraid of taking these. I talked to my doctor and he told me not to worry. It may take sometime time to adjust with this medicine. But I tried this medicine for long time but still not getting relief from the side effects of this medicine. Now am try to get anything else to replace this medicine to get relief of the side effects.
The doctor chose to give me the amoxicillin for high blood pressure. I begun to take amoxicillin because of the combination of hypertension with high heart rate. I begun on 12 mg per day until my heart rate got down to 60 and below. The medicine was the best thing that has happened to me because I am more relaxed now and calmer. However, the problem is that I am gaining the weight slowly even if I have not changed my diet. I want to go to see a physician to tell me if there is any problem and what I should do.
The doctor decided to give me amoxicillin because of anxiety. At first my doctor had given me the drug because of the hypertension and I have no side effects with it. I was not aware that it can help with anxiety until the doctor asked me to take one when I felt like my heart was in a race. It had helped me however, I am not sure that it really works with the anxiety or it was because of the placebo effect. Now am trying to get relief of this with the help of my personal doctor.
