| 1 | MRSA | Extreme nausea, cold tingling feeling going through my arms and head, no appetite, extreme headache, exhaustion, fatigue, constipation and I'm probably missing a sh*t ton. | I thought I was going crazy until I read these reviews. I'm on day 2 after receiving IV antibiotics of another antibiotic in the hospital. This is awful! I'm running out of options but I think this is worse. I can't eat and the pain through my body after taking it isn't worth it. I still have 5 days left! F this! | F | 44 | 2 days 300 3X day | 12/4/2020 | 1 | Possible post op infection | Blurry vision, dizziness, faintness, feeling drunk or intoxicated, increased heart beat/ anxiety, extremely lethargic and couldn't work or take care of responsibilities. | F | 44 | 7 days 300 1X day | 12/12/2020 | 1 | Pelvic inflammatory | Do not take this medicine if your life depends on it. I wrote a review while I was on the meds but it wasn't until the last day I developed a severe reaction to them and 3 nearly 4 weeks later I still feel like I'm dying. I am being tested for suspected vasculitis after taking this drug. | The heartburn and intestine pain has still not gone. I have lost nearly a stone in a month. My body hurts in every single way possible. Muscle aches, joint pain, eye pain, light sensitivity severe headache everyday. This drug has ruined my life. | F | 30 | 12 days 300 4X day | 1/1/2021 | 1 | Dental | Diarrhea, nausea, bloating, lining of mouth inflamed | F | 72 | 7 days 150 mg 3X day | 1/22/2021 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 day | 7/5/2016 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Removed abcess | Nausea, joint pain, pustules, thrush, constipation, conjuctivitis | Had an IV drip in for a similiar antibiotic. It had to be reinserted every day because the liquid would clog up my veins and create hideous painful pustels. Very painful. Being put on these Clindamycin tablets later the pustels began occurring at random spots on my body. Nurses or my surgeon weren't concerned. Very painful and bloody bowel movements. Utterly severe vaginal thrush. The joint pain kept me awake every night. The nausea never left me once. When I was finally discharged from hospital, I looked up these side effects and connected the dots. Called my doctor and he took me off this drug immediately. Even my pharmacists mentioned how heavy this prescription was. Everything's clearing up now at last. Thank God. Never again. | F | 22 | 6 days | 2/15/2016 | 1 | Major tooth extractions and abscess | Chronic nausea, inability to sleep, major anxiety, drained, headaches... Finished regime. On the last day of taking it started the soft stools, now day following full blown diarrhea and severe stomach cramps. Heart is still racing liken to anxiety. | I was given this particular med as I'm allergic to most other antibiotics. At this given time I will be adding this to my list of allergies. This is a drug that should be highly informed to the patient of the possible severity of side effects! | F | 50 | 7 days 300mg x4 | 2/28/2016 | 1 | tooth extraction | Dizziness/lightheaded, heartburn, headache, fatigue, chest pain, palpitations, chest tightness, tingly arms, back pain and weird random pains | I got a tooth pulled. To prevent infection they gave me clindamycin to take 4x per day. I ended up only taking 2 or 3 a day and stopped a day or two early. About 4 days into it I got severely nauseous and dizzy and my arms got really tingly. Felt crappy for a few more days. I stopped the meds early and probably 4 days after stopping I started having chest palpitations and went to the er. No diarrhea. But I have been having a lot of chest tightness dizziness and still have tingly feeling in arms back pain increased heart burn and weird pains all over. My heart still feels like it is beating harder. Follow up with Dr this week. This all started happening after I took clindamycin. I still feel like crap and felt like I was going to die. It felt like I was having a heart attack. I would not recommend this and will never ever take again. | F | 31 | 6 days 300mg 4x/d | 1/24/2016 | 1 | Strep throat | Had a severe reaction. Covered from head to toe in hives. Back of head swollen. Hives lasted on and off for 3 to 4 weeks. 5 days after reaction head spinning, light headed, migraine, severe pressure in head when bending over, brain rattle when walking, head so sore unable to touch. Spinning stopped after 2 months, but still continue with migraines or headaches every day followed by pains, pressure and sore head going on 7 months now. | The worst drug out there, as if strep throat wasn't enough. Haven't been able to work or enjoy a regular life. Avoid this drug it will ruin your quality of living. | F | 48 | 7 days 1800mg | 12/14/2015 | 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 | 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 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 |
