| 3 | Root canal | I've been extremely nauseous and have had low energy. I have a HORRIBLE taste in my mouth which makes me gag at times. Loss of appetite. | I am concerned after reading some of the other reviews and am considering talking to my dentist tomorrow about switching to something else. I don't want to my tooth to get infected, however, it's hard to function feeling nauseous all of the time & having this horrible taste in my mouth. | F | 36 | 3 days 300 3X day | 3/3/2015 | 3 | Tooth extraction | Initially, I noticed I had tightness in my throat and the sensation of having something stuck in my throat. On the second day, I experienced the same thing but also tightness in my chest and a feeling of anxiety. I also experienced waking up from vivid nightmares and normally, I don't recall my dreams or have nightmares really. On the third day, I still had the same issue of feeling like something was stuck in my throat, sometimes it felt like I had trouble swallowing so I took allergy pills thinking it might be something I ate. This was accompanied by anxiety as well. Today, the fourth day, has been especially bad as far as feeling like something is stuck in my throat and having that tightness there. The anxiety was there and I used a salbutamol inhaler to help open up my airways. I have been waking up anxious, restless, and somewhat panicky so I've been feeling fairly tired all day. I am going to contact my dentist and ask for a suitable alternative tomorrow. | I also have a history of high blood pressure and asthma. My bp has been elevated despite my regularly taking my maintenance medication -- this might be because of the side effects I'm experiencing. | F | 36 | 4 days 300 mg 2X day | 5/28/2022 | 1 | contant bacterial cellulitis | it started 2 days after starting clindamycin.I have horrible abdominal pain&cramping,watery diahrea with mucus discharge that started yesterday. unfortunately for me it is life or death for me I won't have mrsa again from 2hospitals missing my cellulitis,as well as 2family doc.I'm miserable and feel so hopeless. if I wasn't a mom I prob.would just end my life their both painful mrsa from not getting proper diagnosis and the cellulitis. please help me,I'm desperate!! | F | 36 | 7 days 300mg4xday | 10/13/2014 | 1 | bacterial infection | I took one pill with dinner. I will never take this medicine again. One pill gave me the most horrific headache of my life. The acid reflux from the pill was nothing compared to the pain in my head. My vision was affected for 5 days. I was dizzy and became nauseous from constantly being dizzy. I felt like someone beat my eye sockets, side and back of my head with a baseball bat. It was like a concussion in pill form but worse. It took five days for the dizziness and vision problems to subside. I still have a slight headache but I will never take this poison again. | F | 36 | 1 days 300mg hcl | 5/17/2014 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 4 | Tooth Infection | None | After reading up on this drug on this site, I was very nervous to begin taking the course of antibiotics. I was fine though and I think its b/c I loaded up on Probiotics during and after the course of treatment. It was annoying b/c I felt like I was popping pills all day (probiotics are more effective if taken 2 hours after the antibiotic) but all worth it as I had none of the usual side effects. Also, follow the instruction and take with a full glass of water (and/or food) and don't lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking a pill. The one time I didn't follow those instructions I felt the burning in my esophogus. | F | 35 | 10 days | 10/31/2007 | 1 | minor root canal ibfection | My dentist prescribed this medication to treat minor infection under the crown, root canal was done 12 years ago. I google this pills and got terrified by side effects it could cause. I have sensitive stomach and had I cade of diarrhea in the past, otherwise I am healthy. I took two doses but felt uncomfortable taking it, I just went to him and ask for amoxicillin. I am not risking my health over minor tooth infection! Amoxicillin worked just fine without those side effects. I wonder why manufacturer don't banned this medication, its seems to me that side effect clearly overweight the benefits. | M | 35 | 1 days 300mg tid | 2/6/2013 | 1 | Strep throat | This stuff is terrible!! Diarrhea, and constant upset stomach, abdominal pain - so much so I couldn't sleep | M | 35 | 10 days 300 mg | 7/14/2014 | 1 | For an infection. | I am absolutely horrified of all medicine's now. My doctor did not warn me of the horrible side effects. I got extremely sick every time I ate so went to the emergency room. They tested for C-diff which came back negative, thank goodness. But I am still suffering from severe cold tingling arms, headaches and I'm swollen in my genital area. Getting in to see another Dr in a couple days. | THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE MARKET. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS FDA APPROVED. | F | 35 | 7 days 300 MG | 3/13/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | I am dying. I’m laying here moaning with the worst heartburn/ esophagus pain that I have ever known to exist to mankind. I am NOT exaggerating. I honestly thought I was having a heart attack and my dad made me take one of his nitro pills. I’m now laying in bed moaning uncontrollably after taking a Zantac and drinking 2 large glasses of milk. I don’t know what to do. I’ve never felt pain like this in my life... and I’ve had my face kicked in by a horse. | Needs to be taken off the market!!!!!!!!!!!!! Immediately!! | 35 | 2 days | 2/2/2019 | 1 | Tooth abscess | Stuck in throat, even though taken with plenty of water. Ate bread, drank milk, drank so much water, and tea. Nothing helped.

I make sure to take it with lots to drink so I am sure it washes al the way to my tummy. I was amazed to go from having my face so swollen that I couldn't see out of my right eye to being able to see and eat in just 2 days! | F | 34 | 10 days 300 | 1/16/2016 | 4 | Throat infection | nonstop bowel movements, headaches | I cannot stress enough to take a pro-biotic with this!! If you don't you will be in serious trouble. Drink probiotic yogurt type drinks or take the probiotic in pill form. Clindamycin saved my life but it is a heavy duty drug. | F | 34 | 10 days | 1/30/2008 | 3 | Tooth pain | Been going to sleep with weird dreams. At 2:30am.I took one.
