| 4 | severe dental infection | Tired, Dizzy, Headache, Chest Pain, Bloating, Shortness of breath | I had a very severe dental infection that was not detected for quite sometime despite my persistence with doctors, dentists, etc. Endo prescribed Clindamycin to be taken before and after oral surgery. The first few days I only suffered from fatigue. Then came the bloating. Awful. In the past few days I've started to suffer from shortness of breath and chest pain. It has been extremely scary. I have 6 pills left, I will not be taking them. I've already been on it for 2 weeks and I've had enough. The meds got the job done, but I'd rather not feel like I'm dying everyday. | F | 33 | 2 weeks 150 MG | 12/4/2014 | 3 | Skin infection around my nail | The first day I felt really lethargic more than Normal. I did not take any probiotics with this medicine. My stools were much looser. I was prescribed this because I'm allergic to bactrim. At times I noticed my stomach was more sensitive. | I'm thankful the medicine helped my infection and puss. However, based on reading these reviews I do not want to take this medicine again. | F | 33 | 1 weeks 30MG x3 | 9/26/2015 | 1 | precaution before root canal | Horrible nausea, stomach craps so bad It felt like there was a alien in me trying to get out. Felt like I had to pee but couldn't. Stomach bloated so bad it looked like I was pregnant. Heartburn and sour taste. I will never take this again. I wish I would have found this site before I took this medicine. I still have problems now. | DO NOT TAKE THIS. | F | 33 | 10 days 300mg x4 | 5/22/2015 | 1 | salivary gland stone and infection | Major nausea to the point couldn't function, loss of appetite, horrible taste in mouth, onset of headache that wouldn't go away, general fuzzy feeling in my head | I'm not entirely sure why I was given such a strong antibiotic, infection wasn't that bad. I called doc ands waiting on them to call back. I am not taking this anymore. | F | 33 | 2 days | 11/13/2014 | 1 | Cellulitus | Horrific. First day mild nausea, second and third days, burning esophagus, vomiting, headaches, confusion, extreme muscle weakness and severe joint pain that has not gone away 4 days after stopping the drug. I quit taking it on day 4 on doctors recommendation. | This drug should have a black box warning. I feel like I’m dying. | M | 33 | 10 days 300 mg 3D | 5/13/2018 | 1 | Access under my arm | On day 3 I had a rash all over my face like I had teenage acne. On day 4 I was so naseuous I slept with a trashcan. Day 5 still naseuous and taking zofran to counter act my naseuousness! Assuming ER doc prescribed it to me because I'm allergic to PCN and Sulfa drugs. | If you can try and get one anything else before this please do! | F | 33 | 5 days 300mg | 12/30/2015 | 1 | Dental abscess | No appetite, insomnia, severe depression, severe anxiety, heart feels like it's going to beat right out of my chest, bad taste in mouth, diarrhea, cold/hot flashes, and a dissociative state. | I would never recommend this antibiotic because at this point I with the abscess had spread further from my jaw and sinuses straight to my blood. I am usually a very happy chill person but now everything scares the hell out of me. I've never thought of suicide before until now because I've been on 3 different antibiotics for 30 days and the mental symptoms haven't gone away. I thought it was just the infection but I had the teeth pulled and abscess drained. Stopped the antibiotics today because I should be seeing improvements since my jaw doesn't hurt anymore but the mental effects are all still there. Hoping tomorrow they are out of my system and I bounce back to the old me before I got a severe dental abscess. | F | 33 | 7 days 150 3X day | 12/3/2022 | 5 | Wisdom tooth infection | Mild case of the trots, random metallic taste in mouth | Worked great after the first day! Amoxicillin didn't help so they put me on this for a week. No serious side effects, no complaints. | M | 32 | 7 days 150 4X day | 10/14/2014 | 4 | After jaw surgery | I am allergic to amoxicillin so they put me on this following surgery. I read the leaflet that came with the medication. I didn't get any of the side effects listed. I did take a Floragen acidophilus capsule with each dose as recommended by my Walgreens pharmacist. | F | 32 | 10 days 300 mg | 10/28/2014 | 3 | abscessed tooth with cellulitis | Pressure in head, anxiety, muscle aches, vaginal swelling and yeast infection. | F | 32 | 5 days 300 mg | 3/10/2014 | 3 | cellulitis of leg poss. spider bite | I have been on this medication for 7 days . supposed to take for 10. given 2 shots for initial dose. have had a terrible taste in my mouth since shots, awful dizziness, stomach pain, fatigue, headaches, bloating, and loose bowls. the dizziness is the most worrisome. Not even sure I should be driving. I was not warned by the ER doctor of these things. Infection has improved greatly but not worth these side effects. I will never take this med as a first option again . | F | 32 | 7 days 300 MG 1X H | 9/3/2015 | 3 | Cracked tooth infection before extract | I have only taken this for 2-1/2 days and it's made me feel awful. Luckily I am only on a 4 day treatment. I feel foggy, head hurts, some joint pain, fatigue, short of breath at times and slight stomach discomfort. So far no diarrhea or heartburn, but have been eating yogurt and started taking Florastor to help counteract the meds. I also drink a bunch of water when I take the meds and don't lay down for a while after. | I was put on this because I had a reaction to Augmentin after 2 days of using it. If not for the side effects, I would say this drug is great, since it does take the infection away. But there has to be something else that's not as hard on your body than this! But I do understand that for some infections only certain antibiotics will work. So if you must take this, I do recommend eating yogurt and/or probiotic supplements. Hopefully I do not get the after effects that some have unfortunately experienced. Only time will tell. | F | 32 | 4 days 300mg 4x d | 7/29/2015 | 2 | Root Canal | Heartburn,swelling and soreness of the vagina and butt. Very heavy vaginal discharge. Blurred vision and heavy gas. | I took this medicine for 10 days following my root canal and I have had the worse experience ever. Soreness and tender vagina and butt. When to the ER for swelling of both and was told it was a side effect of the medicine. I hope to NEVER take this medicine again! | F | 32 | 10 days 150 mg | 10/5/2015 | 1 | Strep throat and ear infectoon | My skin is very tight, red and bloated, heart burn, water weight gain, head ache, achy joints, diarrhea, trouble seeing and head aches. I think that covers it. | F | 32 | 7 days | 7/9/2014 | 1 | an infection on my arm | Excruciating pain in my chest,hard to swallow,fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea. The pain in my chest is the wrost pain ever next to child labor.my diet is poor because its to much to swallow. | F | 32 | 1 days 300mg | 9/21/2014 | 1 | tooth infection | I took this pill 2 times a day even though it was to be 3. I got an upset stomache horrible pain in my chest and was very light headed and dizzy on this pill stopped taking it yesterday was prescribed a new script hope this one works out better. | F | 32 | 3 days 150mg | 11/1/2014 | 1 | Abscessed tooth | I was pregnant while taking this. I was fine, but 3-4 weeks later I developed horrific stomach cramps and severe diarrhea. It has been 8 days now and I am miserable and I am so worried about my baby/ pregnancy. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Also, it took a while for me to make the connection between these symptoms and this medication. I thought I had a severe stomach flu, but then it just wouldn't stop. | F | 32 | 7 days 150 mg x 3 | 2/7/2013 | 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.
