Gary Utterback, I had the EXACT same thing. A really bad bout of sinus infection and a month's worth of 1,000mg a day of Amoxocillin (which by the way did absolutely nothing for my sinuses). It's hard to say whether there is a connection between the antibiotics themselves or the infection or if it is all just a coincidence, after all, a lot of people have some sort of allergy, illness, stomach problems, gas or whatever all of the time. It's not like sinus infections are rare, you know what I mean? I dont understand why doctors even bother with antibiotics wiith infections like that when they can ONLY fight-off bacteria, NOT viruses. Mine must have been a virus being that 30 days of massive doses did nothing. Even my pharmacist was alarmed at how much I was taking and for how long. he said" geeze Arron, you must have quite an infection, This is a really high dose and a really long time to take this stuff". Well, I thought you'd be interested that I had the exact same thing. My twitches didn't start until about 30 or 60 days after all of that, so I really can't say one way or the other if that was what actually started my twitching and symptoms.
