My kids had bronchitis over the Christmas holiday so they were on Amoxicillin and they definitely slept a TON. Like an excessive amount. And once they were off it that definitely stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-amoxicillin-cause-drowsiness#post-2427210 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:15:42 +0000 hilsy85 2427210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: @HappyBaker: I hope so ladies! His sleep was poor even before he was sick (just waking up really early) so I am hoping that this will stick around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-amoxicillin-cause-drowsiness#post-2427189 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:09:16 +0000 Alivoo01 2427189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think amoxicillin causes drowiness. Like @HappyBaker: mentioned, I'm guessing it's that they're more comfortable and can finally rest. Hope the good night's rest is here to stay though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-amoxicillin-cause-drowsiness#post-2427109 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 08:07:07 +0000 HappyBaker 2427109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I notice this too but I assumed it was just be because their ears aren't hurting anymore so they are more comfortable and can sleep easier.</p> <p> Both my kids are on antibiotics last night and both slept through the night for the first time EVER last night so I also hope it's here to stay and not a drug side effect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-amoxicillin-cause-drowsiness#post-2427089 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 07:45:01 +0000 hilsy85 2427089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been on amoxicillin since last week for an ear infection and he has been sleeping SO much better at night and waking up later. Does anyone know if this is a side effect from the meds or is it possible that good sleep is here to stay (for a little while anyway!)? </p>
