Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that the drugs the combination of the amoxycilin, and clavalinic acid is an irritant to the gastric mucosa, and can cause dis oriented feeling, sleepy ness, and extreme weakness after taking the pills.
Phenazopyrine also should not be used for more than 2 days.
So first thing yoou should do is to stop th ephenazopyrine. And stop afthe amoxycillin and clavalinic acid combination after completion of the course.
If still symptoms persists you can use ranitidine with your doctors advise.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
