| 1 | infection in 10 yr old root canal | nothing until day 8 woke up with a severe red rsh on entire upper body, not face, by next day had spread to legs, after getting a Triamcinolone Acetonide cream from Dermotol. DR., stopping clinda, rash on legs is now almost purple! | Dentist office today, (Sat), said call Monday, nice, if you saw the rash, you would be scared too | M | 57 | 8 days 4X day | 3/23/2013 | 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 | 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 | tooth infection | Have I got a severe headache, dizzy. I'm eating yogurt and drinking tons of water. Taking it at good intervals. And I have weird bowel movements. Long thin feces. I feel like I was on a rollercoaster. I have shortness of breath as well. | F | 19 | 10 days 300 mg | 1/19/2013 | 1 | Tooth infection, preparation for ro | Constantly in the bathroom, very soft, long (really really long) thin stools, not diarrhea. Can't go anywhere because I need to be close to the bathroom-gas feeling is not gas -it's bm. Stomach ache. Was supposed to take for 10 days. I'm stopping now, after 7 days. | This drug is no bueno. I've eaten yogurt everyday but probably should have had it at least twice a day. Can't take penicillin or sulfa (bactrim) drugs. Why not z-pac or cipro? I won't take this ever again. it's going down on my list of drug allergies. | F | 44 | 10 days 300 mg 4X day | 11/2/2012 | 1 | BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS WHILE PREGNANT | My OBGYN prescribed this while I was pregnant for a yeast infection. I was 5 days post delivery and never finished it. But, it already did enough damage...on my 2nd day post delivery I had contracted C. diff. A very horrible bacterial infection. I had uncontrollable, nonstop diahrea for two weeks (not fun to have after a vaginal delivery). I was hospitalized for dehydration and malnourishment. Was then prescribed Flagyl. It did the trick to get rid of the c. diff. From now on I will definitely do some research on any prescription before taking it. I thought I was going to die. | SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THIS ANTIBIOTIC BEFORE TAKING IT!!!! | F | 26 | 14 days ? 1X day | 5/21/2012 | 1 | dental infection | Severe headache. Felt like my head was in a vice. Couldnt function. After once dose! Stopped immediately. | F | 60 | 1 days 500mg 3X day | 12/4/2011 | 1 | Removal of wisdom teeth | Developed severe C difficile infection at age 18 after having my wisdom teeth removed, I was in the hospital for one week. 10 years later I have had C diff. one more time. I will never recommend this drug to anyone. It has ruined my life. I have permanent IBS and stomach problems now because of it. | F | 24 | 2 days 3X day | 12/14/2010 | 1 | Wisdom teeth removal | None other than the typical antibiotic side effects, which is basically just diarrhea. | I am so freaking pissed I had to take this for something as minor as preventing an infection after wisdom teeth removal. It gave me c-diff, which just really pisses me off. Pharmacists need to warn you to at least take probiotics while you're on this antibiotic. | M | 25 | 7 days 3X day | 8/15/2010 | 1 | Absess tooth | Bloating, naseau, increased bowl movements, just didnt feel right | F | 24 | 7 days | 4/14/2009 | 1 | tooth infection | Stay away from this drug and run from anyone that prescribes it! This drug caused chronic diarrhea that has been going on for over 10 months and that has not responded to Flagyl. Any doctor that prescribes this obviously isn't doing their homework. There are other antibiotics that are safer than this. The manufacturers should be put out of business. | M | 40 | 7 days | 7/8/2007 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Developed C.diff after 5 days of treatment. Did not cure original infection | I was put on this due to the fact that I had a bad reaction to Flagyl (I have a review of this med on here too). I was prescribed 300mg twice daily for 7 days. Everything was fine until day 5 when I developed watery diarrea, my doctor sent me to the ER and they confirmed C.diff, I am now taking Vancomycin for that (part 3 of medication my review series coming soon!) Seriously, ask for something lighter if your doc can give it to you. The side effect of c.diff is not worth taking this med. | F | 29 | 7 days | 12/27/2006 | 1 | bacterial vaginosis | Clostridium difficile- persistent diarrhea and pain, which is very difficult to treat... because it is caused by antibiotics wiping out the natural flora in your bowels, symptoms can be alleviated with medication, but it is very very hard to CURE. | Clindamycin is on of the main antibiotics that causes C-diff because it is a broad spectrum antibiotic. Ask for something else. Better yet, don't take it unless your life depends on it. | F | 40 | 10 days | 10/3/2006 | 2 | A spider bite | When I woke up on day three and fell back asleep right away. I woke up with terrible vivid nightmares. I continuously fell asleep through the day. Each time waking from a different dream, screaming and in complete panic mode. It also has a horrible taist. Chills headache heart arrhythmia. Disorientation. | I have already had an allergic reaction to another anti doxycycline, and ceflexin and I'm worried after feeling all these symptoms and reading these reviews and I was kind of wondering is there anything you can do to prevent having a serious allergic reaction down the road to these medication like does yogurt or anything like that help to keep the bacteria and you that you need to stay away from the allergic reaction aspect or? Does anybody know? | F | 37 | 3 days 150 mg 3X day | 1/31/2022 | 2 | Infection from ingrown toe nail | I have a bad infection in my toe from an ingrown toe nail that has been getting worse for months. I was given this at the ER and from the podiatrist who removed the toe nail. This antibiotic gave me horrible anxiety attacks and very strange mental side effects. After reading everyone else's reviews I'm glad to see I'm not alone. The only reason I'm taking this antibiotic is because I'm allergic to all other antibiotics except this one. It gave me awful chest pains as well | Be careful taking this if you have anxiety or mental health issues | M | 26 | 10 days 300 mg. 3X day | 10/19/2021 | 2 | Mrsa | Anxiety, headaches, and feeling like all my joints hurt. | F | 37 | 0 times 300 mg 3X day | 9/25/2021 | 2 | Pelvic infection | Scary to be honest but not as bad as the alternative metronidazole. Do not take if you have mental health problems especially panic disorder. | First few days I just felt tired and had heartburn. Then only 2 days later I started having achy pain in my liver. Feeling of pressure in anal area. Depression, severe anxiety, chest pain breathlessness which felt like I had to manually breathe because it wasn't happening naturally. Felt like someone was sat on my chest. Itchy skin, hallucinations, confusion stabbing stomach pains. If the infection wasn't so severe I would stop this immediately but I am terrified not to clear this infection after having it severely for nearly 4 months and probably becoming Infertile. It's basically the lesser of two evils and not quite as bad as the reaction I had from metronidazole. | F | 30 | 7 days 300mg 4X day | 12/3/2020 | 2 | boil | Extreme panic attacks/anxiety. Lightheadedness. Palpitations. Pressure in chest. Mild cramping, mostly below sternum | As someone with bipolar/panic disorder, I am prone to having the worst panic from numerous antibiotics. This one caused me to nearly go inpatient after a very small dosage. If you also have a sensitivity to certain antibiotics, I would advise asking for a different med | F | 42 | 5 days 150 4X day | 8/9/2020 | 2 | Spider bite | Head fog no energy stiff neck now done with it still have head fog and stomach cramping problems | Wish i would have seen this site befor i took it thaught it was the infection making me feel off ,fuckin worthless doctors bunch of idiots why would the perscribe this when i clearly could have taken penicillin or somthing with less side affects | M | 39 | 10 days 300mg | 5/17/2020 | 2 | Tooth Infection prior to Root Canal | I've been off the medication for 4 days now and have had terrible hearburn, strange cramping and pains in the upper abodom, below rib cage (around liver area), nauseous, dry heaving, chest pain, depression, dry mouth and thurst, head aches, anxiety from the side affects, insomnia because of the heart burn, foggy thinking | I've started pro-biotics today and omitting foods like sugar and refined carbs, also purchased some Kombucha and fermented products along with pre-biotics. I feel awful and it's very scary. | F | 47 | 5 days 150mg 4X day | 12/2/2019 |
