Title: amoxicillin ?
Post by mezza on May 14^th, 2008, 9:29pm

Hi -

just wondering if anyone has taken amoxicillin while in cycle and if there was a sudden onset of shadows or more head pain?

Been pain free for 3-4 weeks - on verap - was sure cycle was over and began tapering off verap last week about 9 days ago and no hits, no shadows til two days ago( just tapered off the 180 at bedtime- but still taking 480)

got a terrible sinus infection last week - went to gp on monday and he gave me amox to treat infection. Since starting to take amox been shadowing past two days pretty much all day.

So any thoughts? could it be amox or cutting out that 180 ?

I've taken a LOT of antibiotics, both in and out of cycle, for a different condition (hidradenitis suppurativa). I've never noticed any change in the frequency or intensity of CH because of them.

thanks brew-

not the answer i was hoping for of course- [smiley=frown.gif]

Was hoping amox was causing shadows - seems then that my cycle isn't over ! thought i was home free- i guess i'll take that 180 again tonight-

Ah well- at least i'm pain free most of the time

Could be the, for lack of a better term, movement in your sinuses as the drugs attack all those little critters. Whenever I've been on antibiotics for a sinus infection, the stuff that comes out of my schnozz is voluminous and technicolor. The sinuses are soft tissue, and I'm sure they move around.

yeah possibly- time will tell- infection is now in my chest so i've developed an upper respiratory infection- but prior to moving to chest i went thru some serious amounts of tissue- went to grocery store and bought double rolls of charmin :)

thanks for hints -
