Amoxicillin side effects

[Ev3n]

I was wondering if anyone has ever had a side effect of confusion. I started amoxicillin two weeks ago and ever since I have had an insane sense of confusion, insomnia and a few instances of hyper tension.
My heart rate goes up, I wake up in the middle of the night not able to sleep and I have intense stomach pains. I'm having a hard time concentrating at work and I really feel like it is affecting me mentally. I did some research on wikipedia and it says the first alergic reaction to amoxicillin "starts with a change in mental state". I think I am feeling this big time.
When I was younger as well, I used to have night terrors and now I am beginning to think that my ear infections and being on amoxicillin all the time had something to do with it (after talking with my mother).
I have an email into my doc about all this, I just wanted to see if anyone out there had any major side effects like I did.
Thanks,
Ev3

I took amoxicillin after having dental work,It caused similar effects with me.I was told that the anxiety would go away after stopping the drug. It didnt, it has been two years now and I still dont feel normal, difficult to concentrate, anxiety. I can feel the change it has made to my brain...I just feel different. I wish I had never taken it.

I have been taking amoxicillim, biaxin and pantoprazole for 2 days for a treatment of h. pylori bacteria causing gastritis and eventually ulcers.
I also experience weird side effects, like insomnia, mental confusion, feeling I am not myself, wanting to suicide without any reason,hearing a buzz in my head, funny feeling in my stomach, bad taste in mouth, headaches... I told my spouse that I was really feeling bad and that I had the feeling something was wrong. I even thought that the pharmacist gave me the wrong medication, since it affects me mentally so much...
Then I woke up at 2am, couldn't go to sleep and started researching on the web and found your post. I found a couple of articles on amoxicillin and the side effects.
SIDE EFFECTS: Side effects due to amoxicillin include diarrhea, dizziness, heartburn, insomnia, nausea, itching, vomiting, confusion, abdominal pain, easy bruising, bleeding, rash, and allergic reactions. Individuals who are allergic to antibiotics in the class of cephalosporins may also be sensitive to amoxicillin.

I also researched for the other medication I am taking and found that BIAXIN has a side effect of confusion and psychotic experience.
A couple of Québec, Canada is suing the the makers of this medication after the wife tempted to commit suicide for no reason. See link in French

I will call my doctor tomorrow to interrupt the treatment.
Is there someone like me who is treated for h. pylori and that is experiencing such side effects ?
thank you
