No: Never seen this. Could be plaque. Use a tongue scraper.

Why amoxicillin?: Important questions: who prescribed this medication and why are you taking it? Have you recently started taking it, or for a long time? Are you reasonably healthy, or do you have a compromising medical condition? See whomever prescribed this drug and have them perform a thorough evaluation to determine the best course for your treatment. If it is like the photo, that is fungus overgrowth.
