Please don't do this. Amoxicillin has a very short half-life, about 60 minutes, with most of it is metabolised within 4 hours and completely out of your system in around 6-8 hours. This is why you need to take it multiple times a day.
Have you considered the exhaustion and other symptoms may be from the infection? They are common symptoms of an immune system ramped up to fight an infection.
