| 1 | swollen hand | Had to Stop, Stomach Pains and Cramps !!! Only from the Oral Pills did not have reaction from beginning intravenous of this drug? | This Drug should not be on the Market and any medical providers who write or put a patient on it should be held liable including the manufacturer. | M | 74 | 2 days 300mg 4X D | 6/26/2017 | 1 | Infection in finger | The first 3 days on this drug I noticed fatigue and a terrible taste in my mouth. On the 4th day I began suffering with unbelievably painful burning in my throat, stomach and between my shoulder blades. Even between doses my stomach hurt and eating was very unpleasant. After suffering the extreme pain 3 times I stopped the medication. I'll never take it again! The fatigue stayed with me, along with stomach upset long after stopping the drug. | I am not allergic to Penicillin or any other antibiotic except Sulfa. I have no idea why the Dr prescribed this awful drug. My infection was small and not terribly bad. | F | 67 | 5 days | 6/15/2017 | 2 | Cellulitis in my left ankle | Floaters in both eyes, vomiting, and heaviness and upper leg cramps on both legs while sleeping | F | 1 days 300 x2 | 5/30/2017 | 1 | Tooth infection prior to root canal | Chest burns and stomach pain | Crazy medication kmt will never take this again n I still having tooth pain it didn't help at all. I home and still in pain plus I have a 5 weeks old baby to care for. | F | 32 | 4 days 300 mg | 5/27/2017 | 4 | Abcessed molar | 7th day stared diarrhea | F | 54 | 7 days 150 mg | 5/18/2017 | 1 | Cellulitis infection in leg above a | ER doctor prescribed even though he was told I was allergic to Streptomycin. Caused my blood pressure to go sky high, severe muscle spasms in neck to point I was nearly screaming. Could not lift my arms, dress myself, sleep even though I felt constantly drowsy, pain moved through muscles and joints in my body like a cyclone. At one point I felt only dying would help me. I have had many surgeries and am one who tolerates pain well. This nearly did me in. I stopped taking this drug the second day and went to see my primary care doctor who put me on Keflex 500 mg 4 timed a day and it is working well. The ER doctor had me taking 300 mg every 6 hours. This is a very dangerous drug. I don't recommend it for anyone. This is now the 7th day after I began taking it and my spasms continue although I am beginning to feel a tiny bit of improvement. This drug company should be ashamed for all the pain. It is evidently causing patients. | Don't take this. | F | 71 | 2 days 150 mg | 5/13/2017 | 1 | Gum infection | Started with insomnia, crazy dreams, bloating and heartburn. Last night I could not sleep due to the extreme painful stomach spasms no matter which side I tried to rest on, extreme belching, bloated stomach, excessive saliva which hurts to swallow and causes more pain in stomach, and nonstop passing stinckiest gas ever. Can't wait for it to stop, I'm in pain. | F | 34 | 9 days 300 | 5/3/2017 | 1 | Dental infection -to reduce pain | Blurred vision, wobbly walking, slowed heart rate, mental fogginess,feeling overall, not well at all. Kinda scary. | I keep searching the Internet for answers to the side effects of Clindamycin. Drinking lots of water to hopefully flush it from my system. Do not feel okay , at all while on this med./antibiotic. Hoping that I will be okay. Afraid to go to sleep with feeling the lethargy from this med. This med Needs to be given under Strict observation of a Doctor, preferably, in house, so doctor can adjust meds in relation to side effects. | F | 40 | 3 days 300MG | 4/25/2017 | 1 | Strep | I am allergic to Penicillin so they used this drug as a substitute to try an get rid of my strep. I would NEVER in my life take this drug again! An I would NOT recommend to anyone ever! My side effects included nightmares to the point were I could not sleep AT ALL! It made my mouth extremely wet so I was constantly spitting or choking on my spit. I was suppose to take it for 10 days but on day 4 I started throwing up a large amount of mucas an blood so I stopped taking an went back to my doctor an was giving something else. | F | 25 | 10 days 300 | 4/19/2017 | 1 | Strep | I am allergic to Penicillin so they used this drug as a substitute to try an get rid of my strep. I would NEVER in my life take this drug again! An I would NOT recommend to anyone ever! My side effects included nightmares to the point were I could not sleep AT ALL! It made my mouth extremely wet so I was constantly spitting or choking on my spit. I was suppose to take it for 10 days but on day 4 I started throwing up a large amount of mucas an blood so I stopped taking an went back to my doctor an was giving something else. | F | 25 | 10 days 300 | 4/19/2017 | 3 | Tooth pain | Been going to sleep with weird dreams. At 2:30am.I took one. And I've had the same dream that I dret taking it. I just tryed to sleep n it felt like I couldn't wake up. My face stiffifn up. So I immediately woke myself up. Now I'm tired. ..can't wait til it's out my system. | F | 34 | 4 days 150 | 3/23/2017 | 1 | Tooth abscess | Severe dry mouth and throat, difficulty swallowing, choking feeling, anxiety, panic attacks (due to fear that throat is gonna close up). | I took this for a week and was fine...then my dentist gave me another Rx for a 2nd week because the abscess was still there. On day 6 of the 2nd week, one of the pills got stuck in my throat at dinner time and my mouth and throat are severely dry and irritated! This was now 8 hrs ago. Went to the ER and they didn't really do anything. Just told me that I had an adverse reaction to it. Obviously!! Now I guess I just need to ride it out...that is, unless I stop breathing. It's now almost 1:30am, and I'm afraid to go to sleep. | F | 39 | 10 days 300mg 4/d | 3/12/2017 | 1 | possible infection after root canal | I had a severe attack of heartburn...thought I was having a heart attack. I also awoke one morning with groin pain. I had done nothing unusual to have triggered groin pain, and although groin pain is not listed as a possible side effect, when I google searched "Clindamycin and groin pain" there are some discussions about a link. This groin pain has persisted (mildly) for the last two plus months since I completed the dosage, but yesterday became debilitating. I also has extreme diarrhea and was tested for Cdif, which this medication is known to trigger. Fortunately I did not have Cdif but it appears this medication aggrivated my Lymphoicytic Colitis condition, so maybe people with irritable bowel issues should not take Clindamycin. I've been told this medication is routinely prescribed by Orthodontists following oral surgeries but feel they should consider the very negative side effects over their, "shoot the bird with a canon" approach to treatment. | F | 70 | 7 days 150 mg 1X D | 3/9/2017 | 3 | Absess on tooth | I have taken this many times and never paid attention till this time that it said not to lay down for 10 min after well tonight i took it and went to bed that was at midnight and about 3:30 i woke up to go to bathroom and wen i got in there i got really nauseous and dizzy and fell up against my sink and then want sure how long i had been there im sure it wasnt that long but wen i tried to stand up i started vomiting and as you can imagine that at this time my stomach was empty but that didn't make it stop i kept on for probably 15 min before i stopped and then had to try and gather my self and try to get back to bed and im the only one here so this has scared me pretty bad especially since my throat hasnt stopped burning and i have the worst taste in my mouth and have not been to sleep since thats just to let other people know what it can do to you | M | 47 | 4 days 600 mg at | 3/6/2017 | 1 | Bv | Heart racing, diharea, severe nausea | Only been one this for 3 days for a bv. I can no longer tolerate this medicine feel very sick. Major bloating and stomach issues. | F | 38 | 2 days | 3/6/2017 | 3 | Cellulitis after tooth extraction | Headaches, bloating, chest feels heavy | Infection started to get better just after two doses, however side effects did occur on the second day which made me anxious. If you have a severe infection this stuff does work. Probably better to have some side effects than die from an infection. | F | 40 | 3 days 150 | 3/5/2017 | 2 | Prevent infectiPost dental surgery | Red spots, rash & intense itching - inconvenient to take 4 times daily | Will not take again - many other meds that can be prescribed instead of Clindamycin | F | 75 | 1 days 300mg QIDx | 3/5/2017 | 1 | Antibiotic for a small incision | Broke out in hives! Lips, tongue ands throat swelled up. .ended up in ER. 6 days after I quit taking this drug I'm still itching everywhere. My ears burn, my throat is sore. .worst itching I've ever had. ..haven't had a good night's sleep in a week | F | 48 | 2 days | 3/4/2017 | 3 | Sinus infection, conjunctivitis, ear | Metallic taste in mouth, brief bout of loose motions, thrush on tongue, sore throat | After 12 days, my symptoms had improved slightly but did not clear completely. | F | 57 | 12 days 150 mg 4X D | 1/28/2017 | 1 | Following tooth extraction | Dry mouth, pain and dryness in nose, throat and lungs. Throat tighteness after swallowing pill. First hour after taking I felt weird. Eventually bloated, weird foggy head feel. Took probiotics and drank 16oz bottled water before and after each dose. No major GI upset or runny stool. Nausea. | Never taking again | F | 50 | 3 days 300 mg | 1/28/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | HIVES HIVES HIVES been off it for 2 weeks and I still have them. Heartburn, feeling sick during treatment, headaches, | The only side effects I didn't get were the stomach ones. Stay away from this medicine. | F | 36 | 10 days | 12/8/2016 | 1 | tooth abscess | HORRIBLE. Fatigue, all I want to do is sleep, irritable, depressed, painful joints, exhaustion, fuzzy thinking, empty headed. I have no patience with anybody, and I have no capacity to work at all, and I need to work. No energy. No functionality. Miserable. | F | 67 | 7 days 300 4X D | 12/5/2016 | 5 | Acne | First night I got this, I put the lotion on at night before bed and then again the next morning. I started feeling nausea and my stomach feeling upset, needing the bathroom a lot but not too bad, that was at about 6pm that same day, I then put the lotion on again as prescribed before bed. I felt horrible the next morning, I put the lotion on this morning as usual and this evening I feel light headed, really nauseous, stomach is upset, feel so drained, mood swings, I'm not even going to bother putting that stuff on again, and hope this feels will go away if I do. | F | 29 | 3 days 30ML | 12/4/2016 | 4 | Infection in Tooth | i took 2 150 mg 3 times/day for first 3 days, then 1 3 times/day. First I noticed was a fuzzy feeling in my head within an hour after first pills; i had the diarrhea and some heartburn; but most of all was it made me highly emotional with mood swings. My husband took my car keys, and i don't know what i would have done if I had to go to work while taking this. Within 48 hrs after I stopped taking my mind is back and mood swings have stopped. | F | 54 | 10 days 150 3X D | 11/16/2016 | 1 | To prevent infection | Nausea, dizziness, c.diff. | I was prescribed Clindamycin after dental implant to prevent possible infection. After experiencing dizziness, I stopped taking it.Two days later I started having diarrhea.I was also losing weight, which was bad since I am thin. After two weeks, I went to see my doctor, who immediately suspected c. diff. because of this drug, which was confirmed by labs. I was sick for 3 weeks. It did much more harm than good to me. BEWARE! | F | 65 | 5 days 150 4X D | 10/29/2016 | 1 | Cellulitis, abscess, bronchitis | Never had a problem with this drug before. Just got done with a course of Zpack (Zithromax) for bronchial pneumonia. Have had dental issues for awhile now. Went to emergency room and was dx with facial cellulitis and an abscessed impacted wisdom tooth. I have an exterior abscess on the right side of my jaw with the cellulitis. Was Prescribed Cleocin (Clindamycin HCL) 300 mg 4 times daily. First dose I took with soy yogurt (I'm vegan) and some coconut milk. 30 mins after ingesting the antibiotic, I experienced severe stomach pain, diarrhea, sleepiness, vivid dreams and woke up with a horrible HA and left side eye pain. Feeling chilled to the bone, tremors of my hands, and general malaise. I also woke up to very uncomfortable deep muscle pain in my quadriceps up into the groin region. Made myself some sweet potato minestrone soup last night and reheated some to eat to try to combat some of the nausea. Ended up getting sick. Pushing fluids as much as possible. Metallic taste in mouth which is very unpleasant. I have autoimmune colitis and didn't know that Clindamycin can cause colitis and C-Diff.. I just recovered from a colitis flare up. I know that cellulitis and abscesses are serious diagnosis.. I also have MRSA so my options for ABX are limited. I also have a penicillin allergy. | Would not recommend this to anyone. Calling my primary care physician tomorrow for a follow up appointment to go over other options in terms of treatment. I've already missed over a week of work due to the bronchial pneumonia, and can't work until it's completely treated as I am a CNA in a LTC/Rehabilitation facility and I care for the elderly/immunocompromised. Very frustrating. | F | 31 | 1 days 300 mg | 10/9/2016 | 2 | Dental infection post teeth extract | At first the worst was severe heartburn, but bearable with food and lots of water, but the side fx built up day by day: Nausea, pain under left breast, tight feeling in throat, dizziness, body aches like the flu, severe fatigue, anorexia, intractable lower back pain, sores in mouth, pustules on face, just so sick you feel dying would be a relief. The "expert Dr." insists its not the poison you're ingesting,it's the infection that is killing you. It got so bad I had to go to the ER. They have no clue it's the damn drug, they think it's the infection and write you another scrip. WTH!? Well, I stopped it, and it took 3 days to recover. Well, I'm allergic to amoxicillin, so now what? Hopefully, my immune system is strong enough to heal me. This antibiotic is bad news, and the worst part, the doctor's only alert you to the diarrhea issue. That's the only thing I didn't have. | Don't let the doctor tell you it's all in your head, or it takes time to get better. They are educated by the "evil" drug reps, and their agenda is drug pusher big profits for Big Pharma. Patient beware. Oh, and pharmacy comes from pharmakeia, Greek for "sorcery." | F | 68 | 3 weeks 300mg 4x d | 10/8/2016 | 1 | Cellutis- left side of face swollen | HEADACHE, Heart racing scaring the sh*t out of me… Blood pressure high, feeling light head and dizziness. Feel pain behind my eye lid and neck shoulder stiffness now | Run away from this not worth it.just stop taking four days ago. Bp went back to normal still have heart racing and stiffness in neck and feeling of fatgiue will never let know one give me this medicine again only if they say you are going to die if you don't take it. That is how serious and bad the side affects are.. I never write nothing for reviews but I had to share this and hopes this help. | M | 36 | 10 days 300mg | 9/30/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | Stabbing pain like knives in my back and stomach | $5.00 purchase for worst pain of my life | F | 26 | 1 days 300 | 9/26/2016 | 4 | Dental infection | I've worked in hospitals for 30 years, and believe me, every drug out there has some type of side effect. It's killing germs and infection so of course it is strong. I'm allergic, deadly allergic, to any type of penicillin. It had always worked great, and was cheap, but if I took it now I could die. So, it's cut down on many , many antibiotics I can take. I'm pretty much down to Biaxin and Clindamycin. Both, of course have some side effects. Nasty taste in mouth, stomach problems. But the truth is, compared to the pain of my infection, I deal with it. If anyone expects a miracle drug with no side effects, there are none. You find what works best for you, with the least amount of side effects, and you take it so you eventually feel better. Never, ever stop taking it, without getting put on something else. Even if you feel better you must continue the course of antibiotics. Feeling a bit better doesn't mean the infection is gone. If you stop, it WILL come back, and worse tha | I'm taking this ...150 MG 2 tablets every 6 hours. | F | 2X D | 9/1/2016 | 1 | Hydrochloride burn due to a retreat | Horrible headaches worst ever, severe diarrhea with blood, body ache, dizziness, anxiety trouble breathing. It's the worst antibiotics I have ever taken. Please ask for something else. | Would not recommend this to anyone. Horrible side affects. | F | 42 | 7 days | 8/28/2016 | 1 | Skin Infection | I was prescribed this drug for a wound I experienced on my leg. It may have been beneficial, but I experienced truly horrific headaches and malaise. Horrible!! | Severe headaches and malaise (lethargy) I would suggest that anyone ask for -any- other antibiotic than this.... | M | 39 | 10 days 300MG 3X D | 8/21/2016 | 2 | Severe cut on leg. | Severe heartburn 3-5 min after taking, nausea. | F | 71 | 4 days 300MG Cap | 8/7/2016 | 3 | Cellulitis | Total body fatigue, nausea, body aches. Feels like the flu without the fever. Sleep all the time. Can't function at work. | It is resolving the infection but nowhere on the bottle does it mention causes fatigue. Would not run heavy equipment or perform any activity that requires concentration. | F | 48 | 6 days 150 mcg 3X D | 8/3/2016 | 1 | a severe cut on my leg | First it was my left leg broke out in hives and when the doctor took me of of clindamycin, my left left swollen up from the tip of my feet to the top calf | F | 54 | 4 days 30 | 8/1/2016 | 1 | Exacted tooth, developed dry socket | Went to Dentist, he put medicine where tooth was extracted and felt great, took the Clindamycin he prescribed for it, 2nd dosage first day, developed bad pain in sinus cavities, head, cheek bones, and the pain where extracted is bad, but it wasn't bad once Dentist put the meds on it, only bad after this pill. This pill is NOT helpful, I believe it to be toxic, and Absoutely should not be prescribed to anyone ever!! This has been my 2nd visit to this Dentist for the dry socket, same area, he knows I have to go to work, so why prescribe such a toxic medication??? Anyone reading this, belive all the bad reviews you are reading, DON'T TAKE THIS JUNK! | I also have a bad headache, DON'T TAKE IT AND QUESTION YOUR DOCTOR WHY IN THE WORLD THEY WOULD PRESCRIBE SOMETHING SO TERRIBLE | F | 41 | 1 days 300mg, 3x | 8/1/2016 | 1 | abscess tooth | I have been taking this for about a week now and all of a sudden the last couple of days it's getting stuck n my throat and burning all day long... Nothing will take the burn away!!! | F | 27 | 3 times 150 mg | 7/28/2016 | 1 | Abscess tooth. | Bloody diarrhea, headache,sweating,heart palpitations,stomach pain. | If I would have known about these possible side affects I would never had taken this medication. I have never experienced anything so awful from an antibiotic.I will never touch clindamycin ever again. This drug should be banned!!! | M | 52 | 7 days 300 | 7/27/2016 | 1 | Abscess | I experienced this horrible heartburn while taking this medicine. I told my doctor and he prescribed me something, but it didn't work!!! | F | 36 | 2 weeks | 7/20/2016 | 2 | Abcessed tooth extraction | Headache,dizziness,loose bowel, skin rash after stopping med | I stopped the meds per my Dr because the side effects were becoming bothersome. I also felt strange off I had trouble focusing and had anxiety and forgetfulness.I wont take this again | F | 41 | 8 days 300 mg 4x | 7/16/2016 | 1 | possible tooth abscess | Heartburn!Extreme diarrhea! Bloating. Bad naseua! Today day 5. I'm quitting...inside of mouth burning and numbness. Tongue swelling. Vaginal itch... | I'd rather have swelling on my gum the n these symptoms! Horrible!!! | F | 31 | 7 days 150 mg | 7/6/2016 | 1 | Tooth infection | Within 12 hours I was suffering heart palpitations, chest pain, stomach and abdomen cramping and diarrhoea, which increased in severity. My heart started to thump and then felt as if it was being rapidly turned over in my chest. On 4th day it was missing beats every 8 seconds or so, as confirmed on a hospital Emergency Room ECG. • Chest pains over the central sternum area. These symptoms relating to the heart and chest caused me much concern, as I have high blood pressure and was under the care of a Cardiologist in another city I had just moved from. • My stools had a reddish tinge, presumably from intestinal/bowel bleeding. • Clamminess, shivering, feeling of fever • Rapid heart rate. • Shortness of breath. • Headaches, behind the eyes and centre forehead. • Gritty feeling in my eyes. • Tremor in hands and fingers. • Sudden appearance of a red rash on my lower arms. • Weakness, fatigue, had to stay in bed almost | Our intestines have NO protection against these increasingly over-powerful drugs. Some create almost identical symptoms to poisoning, as with Clindamycin (Neocin). I took just 4 days’ dosage of this and had to be admitted to Emergency 3 times in a week, and experienced it raging through my intestines, liver, kidneys in an almost identical pattern as was caused by a redback spider bite a few years ago! Each organ it attacked gave symptoms of pain, malfunction, and my liver felt as if it was going to burst. I think this was the liver trying with all its might to rid my body of this drug. DEADLY. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It is not a Penicillin, but something entirely evil as far as I have experienced. I had this given to me by a dentist after I specifically told him I wanted only Penicillin as it has always given me safe healing throughout my 69 years of life. He deceptively ‘tried’ this ‘new antibiotic’ (Clindaymycin) and told me nothing. Within 48 hours I was experiencing the worst symptoms I have ever had in my life after taking medication, and lived in fear of it having caused clostridium dif., which is known to have caused death. There are entire websites recording the devastating effects of this “medication”, and giving details of 95% of people having been caused similar agonising symptoms, and even being admitted to ICU with their bodies shutting down to death. PLEASE BE WARNED. | F | 69 | 4 days 300mg 3X D | 7/5/2016 | 3 | Tooth extractiom | I did not have any problems until the 6th day , now i have diarrhea and blood in my stool and when i wipe. I have had some stomach cramps but not very bad. I am suppose to take it for 10 days but i'm a little scared to continue. This is my first time taking it . | I'm going to give it another day or so if the bleeding continues i'm calling my dr | F | 39 | 6 days 150 3X D | 6/30/2016 | 3 | Tooth abscess removal | Extreme nausea unless I stand for ten minutes. The first two days I have to take 2 capsules 3 times a day. That night I feel restless and then ended up with diarrhea and the next day when I woke up I continued to be stuck in the bathroom with diarrhea. The second dose that day I almost threw up because I sat down. I took natural dreamamine (ginger) so I wouldn't. | Day three: I am so tired. I feel like even though I slept for 13 hours last night I feel like passing out at any second. It's the weekend and will have to call dr on call to ask for Levaquin. I have an allergy to sulfa and penicillin 😑 | F | 30 | 1 days 150 | 6/25/2016 | 1 | Cellulitis | EXTREME fatigue and drowsiness, lethargy, severe heartburn, muscle soreness, vaginal discharge | Soooooo tired after a half hour of taking the drug, fell asleep at least 5 times at work, including on the floor (at work). Felt like a zombie. Hard to stay standing up. And theres no fighting it, I do not recommend taking this if you have to do anything other than sleep all day. VERY aggressive antibiotic, there should've been a warning on the bottle | F | 22 | 3 days | 6/16/2016 | 1 | Took this after oral surgery | Omg I feel like I'm extremely drunk. Can't do anything!! Sleeping.weird head fog. Very off!!!! I tried to split 300mg to 150mg and still I feel like I'm having an outer body experience! | If you need to go to work or you have things to do. Please do not take this!! You will be out of commission for a long time! | F | 1 days 300mg | 6/10/2016 | 2 | Prevent infection | Jittery, nausea, dark urine, headache (constant), dizziness, lightheaded, sharp pains in stomach, sore throat | Had wisdom teeth removed on first day I started taking it to prevent infection, woke up the next day with a fever chills lightheaded and nauseous. I immediately knew I didn't drink enough water with this medication. Drank water and had 800mg ibuprofen twice a day but fever stayed at 100 all day and continued with clindamycin. Woke up on the 3rd day feeling fine and forgot my first dose in the morning. Took one before work around 2 and felt weird going into work. Took another at 4 with plenty of water and started feeling nauseous and lightheaded. Took one more dose at around 11pm before I went to bed and woke up very nauseous. Will call my Surgeon tomorrow to talk about stopping this treatment to "prevent infection". Wish I had looked up side effects first. | F | 21 | 3 days 300 | 6/9/2016 | 3 | Staph infection- cellulitis | Severe Stomach Cramps, severe headache, severe bloating, mild but constant nausea, racing heart, soft stool, dark urine, blurry vision, shakiness, moderate fatigue | I am taking 300mg (two 150mg 4x a day for 2 weeks) for a staph infection. I eat tons of yogurt, drink lots of water and take a ton of probiotics. The stomach issue is slightly better with more water and probiotics but.. The cure may be worse than the curse. I've rarely ever even taken an antibiotic so I can only assume my infection was severe if they felt the need to punish me with this drug :/ | F | 47 | 2 weeks 300mg | 6/5/2016 | 3 | Ear and eye infection and celluliti | Was ok for the first few days, only feeling drowsy and a numbness on the right side of my face, including my teeth on the right side. But today I have felt as if I have drank a boiling cup of tea, my tongue is burnt, eating and drinking is more uncomfortable now than when my face was swollen. I'm irritable and emotional and I feel as if the swelling is starting to appear around my eye. Lips and tongue burning and tingling and feel as if I have no energy at all. | Will ring GP tomorrow to find out whether or not to continue using it. Worried as it's affecting my mouth and especially tongue. Really worried this might be an allergic reaction as I am deathly allergic to penicillin. Assuming that's why the urgent care doctor prescribed me this. | F | 27 | 5 days 150mg | 6/5/2016 | 2 | Tooth Abcess | Dizziness, heart burn, and some weird central nervous system issue that kicked my butt. I actually began to dream when lying awake, all the while experiencing very hard involuntary jerks and twitches that would cause me to start gasping for breath. I never fell asleep. This went on for hours after taking my second dose of 150mg and finally fell asleep from exhaustion around 4 a.m. Lost perception of reality to an extent, almost like I was on a bad high from a recreational drug. It took the entire next day to get over it and feel back to my normal self. | No more clindamycin for me! | M | 53 | 7 days | 5/30/2016 | 5 | Infection | I had no side effects until after the actual prescription was over. I had mild diarrhea, but absolutely no heartburn, nausea, absolutely the best course of medicine for me. | I would recommend prebiotics and probiotics, sleep, and lots and lots of water. My infection started clearing up within two days and was nothing but a memory by the end of the seven day regimen. | F | 36 | 7 days | 5/25/2016 | 3 | Pelvic/BV | Severe fatigue, muscle aches, headache. Really feel bad, can barely function. Want to sleep all the time but actually can't fall asleep for 2-3 hours even though I'm so tired. Had to use Monistat from day 2 for intense vaginal burning. I think the infection is gone but now I feel worse that I did before. Two more days to go... Toughing it out. | F | 38 | 5 days 300mg | 5/20/2016 | 1 | Golden staph | heartburn was bad. I actually wondered if I would die in my sleep coz it felt like my insides were on fire. Bloated and diarrhea. Stopped taking it today as I'm too scared. | If it can be avoided do not take this. My doctor just wrote the script and didn't explain anything to me about this drug. I am disappointed | F | 30 | 4 days ? | 4/30/2016 | 4 | skin infection (MRSA) | Loose stools, very bitter taste afterward, headache, fatigue | Doc put me on this with the option of being hospitalized for severe flare up. I could actually start feeling better before my second pill. Bitter taste and headache started about then too. After 24 hrs the fatigue and diarrhea began. For me the benefits outweigh the option. MRSA is an ugly thing! | F | 54 | 7 days 300MG 4X D | 4/21/2016 | 2 | Tooth Infection | SEVERE SEVERE Indescribable heartburn | I have a tooth infection & so have been having difficulties swallowing. I went to take a capsule & I felt it get caught mid way down. I took it w a great deal of water & even ate a little something to aide in it going down. About 10 minutes later,to describe it as heartburn just does not come close to explaining the excruciating pain that came, I thought I was dying of a heart attack or that acid was coming up & out & was burning right through all the soft tissue in my throat.It has been 3 hours & after handfuls of TUMS & other Antacids, along with gallons of water, I am STILL in a great deal of pain. I constantly feel the need to vomit but nothing comes up, I have just been dry heaving. It is the one of the worst things I have ever felt in my life & that's saying a lot, it feels like I have something lodged all throughout the entire length of my esophagus down into my stomach. Been through multiple major surgeries, several tooth abscesses,chemo for cancer, etc.THIS was by FAR one of the worst things I have experienced. Having such a dangerous powder within a gel capsule, one that can easily get stuck & begin to dissolve in an area of the body that it is not made to be in, can cause severe burns & other painful issues. I have heard horrific stories in where this has caused acute harm to people. This has been going on for years, why they have not formulated it in a different manner, is irresponsible & careless on the part of the manu | M | 38 | 2 days 300 mgs 4X D | 4/10/2016 | 1 | Tooth pain/broken tooth | Here is a FYI!! Be careful with Clindamycin Mine got caught in my throat yesterday, which lead to me gagging and vomiting. It exploded and the medicine got into my sinus cavity and attached to my uvula ( hangy thing in the back of your throat) which then swelled up to 5 times the normal size. Everything in my head region got burnt by the meds. My throat, sinus wall, mouth, everything. Due to that I could not talk or breath correctly. If I could post the pictures you would not believe it. The doctors have not seen anything like it before. So I was given some shots and new meds to get rid of the swelling. But she said it could take days for the burnt areas in my body to get back to normal. This was the only time in my life I was actually thinking I was going to die. It was the worst pain ever. Have to go back to the doctors today. So now I am paying copays, gas to go back-and-forth my doctors and who knows how many days of work I'm going to be missing.. Not to mention I can barely swallow which means I have not ate in two days. Prior to this I got extreme diarrhea, and headaches which I saw on the side effects that they could be possible | F | 40 | 8 days 300 mg | 4/7/2016 | 5 | Tooth pain | This medicine caused severe stomach pain,drowsiness, and weird head pain.I have stopped taking it. | F | 10 days 150 | 4/3/2016 | 1 | Tooth extraction | Horrible....very explosive loose stools from 1st pill..after 2nd day it was not tolerable.....went to ER...extreme stomach pains,acid reflex,nausea,vomiting 1x,Bo appetite....this drug should be outlawed!!!! | Hope it leaves mu body soon....this is not good at all!!! | F | 55 | 1 days 150mg | 4/2/2016 | 1 | Tooth infection | Severe heartburn. Increased heart rate. Trouble sleeping. Anxiety/depression attacks. Upset stomach. Dhiarrea. Vaginal discharge. | Have been taking the medication two times a day, for 7 days. I stopped taking it for the heartburn, as I actually thought I was having a heart attack at one point. I felt like I was having a seizure of some sort. I stopped taking it yesterday, but it has been 4 days now that I have this feeling of worry, anxiety and constant problems keeping calm. My heart suddenly accelerates while sleeping and I just can't keep calm. Not taking this again never. I am allergic to penicillin. | F | 29 | 7 days 300 mg | 3/27/2016 | 1 | Abscess tooth | Dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, no clue who I was, random pains, throat hurt | I was prescribed Clindamycin for a abscess tooth that I'm getting out in a week. 300 MG 3X a day for a week. I took one pill after breakfast and 30 minutes after just went into a daze and felt like a zombie at work. Took the other pill 6 hours later after lunch and that's when the nausea hit. I called my dentist and told the receptionist about my symptoms and she said she'd tell the dentist and never got back to me Thursday afternoon or Friday. Here it is Saturday and don't know what to do about this abscess. This pill has caused more pain than good. I will die of an infection before I take this position again. | M | 23 | 1 days 300 MG | 3/26/2016 |
