Hi and Welcome to "Ask A Doctor" service.Thanks for using this app. I have read your question and here is my advice.
Hallucination is not a dacumaneted side effects of amoxiclave. Though there are few reports in the literature showing that psychosis may occur with amoxiclave. So we can say that's its still possible to have hallucinations with amoxiclave but it's something extremely rare to happen. It's so uncommon that we should see another cause for hallucinations very keenly before putting the blame to amoxiclave. Other causes like sepsis, or the infection for which amoxiclave is prescribed, electrolyte imbalance, and other causes must be ruled out as they cause hallucination more commonly then the drug.
However if all other causes are excluded, then we may report the happening of hallucination with amoxiclave to the doctor and /or pharmacist.
