| 1 | skin rash | After I took it on day 1, I noticed I was feeling a little sick to my stomach, nothing to severe but on day 2 after taking my fourth dose I was not feeling like myself. I felt dizzy, nauseated, vomited, muscle pain, upset stomach, loose stools and severe fatigue.. I could not get out of bed for the ife of me to get ready for work but I had already missed two days due to being sick and had to force myself up. I felt like death. I felt like any moment I was going to pass out or have a panic attack. I am already sensitive to meds, this was ridiculous, I will not continue this medication. Makes me feel like I'm loosing my mind. | F | 38 | 1X day | 9/25/2018 | 1 | Tooth abscess | Last night developed severe heartburn, rash on stomach and threw up. I thought I was having a heart attack.

Decided to NOT Take it.... What a waste of time and money. Reviews on this,clindamycin are very creepy, many say it can easily cause death. So screw this antibiotic. | DON'T. TAKE IT !!!!! | F | 67 | 14 days 300 mg | 6/27/2018 | 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 | Gum infection | Brain fog, fever, diarrhea, C-diff. Potassium level tanked, blood pressure tanked as well. Could have died, but luckily I took probiotics before because I also have diverticulitis. Ended up in hospital and still dealing with it. Afraid to eat certain foods. | This drug should be taken off the market. I warn everyone I know to ask for something else if ever prescribed this. I live in fear now. | F | 52 | 7 days Can’t remb | 1/19/2018 | 1 | prevent infection following dental | brain fog stomach pains tinitis oesophageal burning | F | 47 | 5 days | 12/19/2017 | 1 | Infection | Severe intestinal condition rarely fatal | Never again | M | 73 | 0 days 300 | 11/4/2017 | 1 | Post surgery. | Pain when swallowing, pain in upper abdomen, loss of appetite | F | 71 | 5 days 300 MG | 9/18/2017 | 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. Still feel it in my throat. Now I'm nervous to go to sleep. At times, it feels like my throat is closing up and my ears are clogging. | F | 35 | 2 days | 9/3/2017 | 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 day | 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 | 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 | 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.

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 day | 3/9/2017 |
