Antibiotic Experiences

I think this would be a nice thread to share our experiences with different antibiotics that we have previously taken.

Clindamycin. Terrible, hives, and persistent digestive issues for many years. Was originally prescribed to me at an urgent care because I was feeling sick.
Amoxicillin. Good, nothing really to note. I did have severe insomnia the first time I took it as an adult, but no issues the second time. Both times it was prescribed to me after a dog bite.
Clarithromycin. Neutral. Worst gas and bloating of my life. Also pretty bad insomnia, but manageable.
Azithromycin. Bad, gave me some eczema.
Rifaxamin. Amazing. This is a non absorbed antibiotic and was prescribed to me because of chronic constipation. Completely reset my gut and have now been able to eat a wider variety of plants without issues. Gut isn't 100%, but significant improvement. I had to go out of the US to get this prescribed.

low dose doxycycline or minocycline is basically a quinone supplement. amoxicillin should be taken as amoxicillin clauvinate for wider range of bacteria targeted
