a medication that I've taken before was Amoxicillin, an antibiotic. is it possible to become allergic to it later on in life? i've used it in the passed many times when i've become sick as a child.

Yes! Talk to your doctor about your symptoms. He/she will be able to determine whether you have an allergy, and if so, how to combat bacterial infections in the future. But the allergy onset can be immediate.

definately yes!!
i became allergic to general medication such as - annadin, paracetomol etc when i was in my 20's. when i had my kids there wasn't really anything i could have accept 'dehydracodene' for back pain. couldnt even have general cold medicines or anything. was never allergic before. yet im in my 30's now and can take them again with no ill effects now.
i used to work in a chemist, and the pharmacist said you can become allergic at any age in your life to any medication. this can also reverse. its weird!

Yes. Amoxicillin is a common allergen. I'm allergic as well.
You can develop an allergy at any point in your life and they can happen over night.
I'm allergic to Celebrex, first time I took it my head and neck were just one big blistering rash... OUCH!

Your body chemistry changes every 7 years so yes you can have allergic reactions to things you have never been allergic to in the past

YES!
My Dad, who is in his 60s, recently went to the allergist because of what he thought was an allergy to MSG. It turns out that he is allergic to penicillin, ibuprofen, and a bunch of foods, including wheat gluten. This came from out of the blue.

Yes, you can become allergic to anything at any time.

Yes.
It is possible to develop over time (years) an intolerance for foods/medications.
It's a lot more common than you might think.

Yes it is. I know a couple of people that happened to.
