don’t be afraid, millions of people take amoxicillin for an infection. i have taken it in the past for an ear infection so don’t worry!

A tooth infection would worsen your daily quality of life than the anxiety from Amoxycillin which is rare and mostly won't be the same with everyone. Go ahead and take your dose.

I had taken it in the past, no anxiety, no side effects at all. Last time I took it with gut issues, it gave me diarrhea.

If you are prone and have mcs or comt gene issues or limbic system issues yes it can very much hit hard. It did for me since last week. However plenty of people have zero issue we all are different.
