What antibiotic have you end up taking.  My doctor prescribed me Augmentin, but I am terrified to start taking it.

I took a heavy course of augmentin for pneumonia right in the middle of w/d and was fine.

You should have no problems with augmentin.  The only ABs that benzo users should avoid are the quinolone group (Cipro, etc,)

 

Most AB do carry some risk of moderate side effects, but that's true for everyone, not just benzo users.

I've take Augmentin twice for extended times during my taper for UTI/Prostatitis.  It led to me pausing my taper, but has not caused any other problems.

I've taken Amoxicillin before with no major issues.

Amoxicillin is the easiest on your gut flora. Other antibiotics can annihilate your gut and mess it up for months. Amoxicillin only disturbs it for 1 week. It prevents bacteria growth rather than actually killing bacteria.
