My doctor moved me from one antibiotic to Augmentin (amoxicillin-clavulanate) and the first three weeks were rough in a way nobody prepared me for.
The rebound is worse than the original problem for about a fortnight and then it eases.
Am I the only one, or is this the normal shape of three weeks on something like this?
Ten percent cuts. Slower is faster. Same for me with amoxicillin-clavulanate, unfortunately.
Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment.
Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism. Currently on amoxicillin-clavulanate myself.
Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way. Currently on amoxicillin-clavulanate myself.
Same here.
My pharmacist has become my actual doctor and I am at peace with it.
How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week?
Print the page.
Reference ranges differ between labs, so comparing two reports is close to meaningless. Not on amoxicillin-clavulanate but the pattern is familiar.
Ten percent cuts. Slower is faster.

How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week? Diarrhoea was my main issue with amoxicillin-clavulanate too.
Worth asking what specifically was measured. Pain scores move with mood and function does not. Currently on amoxicillin-clavulanate myself.
Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers.
