Hi Dark Stranger,
I had a sinus infection 4 years ago and was put on Augmentin(sp?) I had the same problem that you are having. I started out on the antibiotic with no problems but about 10 days after I started, I was feeling sick to my stomach every day and lost about 10 pounds. I felt worse on the antibiotic than from the sinus infection. I had to take the medicine for six weeks and it was pure hell but my ENT said that it was the best medicine to clear up the sinus infection. I haven't had a sinus infection since as I now use Flonase every morning and salt spray every night. I hope that you feel better soon.
