| 1 | root canal | (strangely - no diarrhea) however: frightening chest pain, not able to swallow, felt i was going to die, needed to urinate but seemed stuck and painful, WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE - I quit 3 days into it - my uncle is a dentist and agrees it is a dangerous drug. | worst * scariest * experience ever | F | 47 | 3 days 150mg 4X day | 1/30/2015 | 1 | Antibiotic sick | Severe stomach ache and diarrhea. | Had to switch to something else. My body is not tolerant of most antibiotics. | F | 27 | 7 days 3X day | 1/8/2015 | 1 | Treatment for Cyst on Back | This is the worst drug I have ever taken in my life. By the second day, horrible cramping and diarrhea and abdominal pain. It didn't matter if the drug was taken with or without food- both of which were prescribed by two different doctors by the way- go figure. Side effects from this drug have lasted long after I stopped taking the drug. | This drug should be pulled from the market in my opinion. Patients are not properly warned of the serious side effects that not only can occur, most often do occur, when taking this drug. | M | 52 | 7 days 300 mg 2X day | 1/7/2015 | 1 | Wisdom tooth extraction | This prescription caused the worse bout of Diarrhea I've ever experienced in my life. It started about a week after I finished the meds, lasted full on for a week and is now slowly but surely clearing up. The oral surgeon should've given a very strong warning but instead he just handed it out. | Please consult with your PCP before taking this! | F | 39 | 7 days | 12/26/2014 | 1 | tooth absess | I was put on it an now im having trouble swalloning as if something's in my throat stomach hurts an diarrhea worse medicine ive ever been on been in N out of the er 8 xs in a month headaches an very fatigued | F | 26 | 2 months 300 mg | 12/20/2014 | 1 | molar infection | I only had mild side effects while on this Medication,I can't say the same after I finished this Drug! Gave me C.diff.I had nasty chalky powder taste in my mouth for days, about a week into this drug I had the most horrible heart burn! A week after I stopped taking this drug I had severe diarrhea was making up to 15 trips a day to the bathroom&I could not eat much or even drink much including water.Every time I would eat or drink 30 minutes later Id have stomach cramps and diarrhea! | This drug has caused a few weeks of hell.I ended up getting C.diff and wound up in E.R to find out I was severely dehydrated,low blood pressure&low heart rate.All because of C.diff infection this drug gave me.I am now on a new course of antibiotics even more horrible then this drug.I also am on a very strict bland diet for C.diff infection and it is torture.this drug also caused my wisdom teeth extractions to be put off because of C.diff I have. My dentist said he could not sedate me while I have the infection or it could cause me to have a heart attack or heart stop because the infection is serious it's almost cleared up now.I have been so depressed and crying so bad over the torture I've been through from this drug.I don't rarely take medication unless I really have to and this is proven fact why! I've now been on antibiotics for a mth almost over something that started as a wisdom tooth infection that lead to C.diff all because of this horrible drug!! I feel bad for everyone taking this right now you're in for horrible aftermath be prepared to have C.diff infection. This drug should be banned.Should not prescribe drugs to people that cause such havoc and infection on the body! | F | 31 | 10 days | 12/2/2014 | 1 | To avoid infection of Root Canal | Diarrhea. Nausea. Thirst. Slight eye itchy-ness. Sting of the vaginal opening. | This is embarrassing, I have never had such a small thing create such a huge impact on my body. I finally googled whether Cleocin could cause the runs. I have never had something like this in my life, when it comes, you have to drop everything and find a bathroom IMMEDIATELY. My increase for fluids has like tripled! I wanted to almost just buy two smoothies at once because I knew I'd drink it too fast, I even chugged a glass of half and half, lol, geese I feel like a Wild animal. I thought I was getting sick or thinking maybe I was pregnant because I kept getting nauseous. Now I don't know if it's helping with keeping an infection away as I am yet to actually finish my cycle out and will remain taking it until I see a Dr. for questions. However I was prescribed this as I am allergic to Penicillin, but I would highly recommend you to avoid this medication if at all possible. | F | 25 | 4 days 300MG | 11/24/2014 | 1 | dental implant | As soon as I swallowed one capsule felt as if my throat was closing up and then immediate sore throat followed by heartburn and stomach pain. I've had reactions to drugs before and I am allergic to ampenicillin so I became alarmed. Went online and read all the bad reviews and that some had chest pains so I started to panic since I have a heart condition. When walking around I felt dizzy... one guy online wrote to drink tons of water so I drank about a gallon of water to get the drug out of my system and was afraid to lay down since I already suffer from heartburn, colitis and gastritis. BTW for others who get the burning..try eating apple w/o the skin; the acid in apples counteracts stomach acid and helps with heartburn. I didn't take any more of the drug and called my periodontist this morning for a more mild antibiodic I've had before. His associate who doesn't know me did the dental implant and prescribed the clindamycin. I sat up in bed for hours waiting for other side effects and kept drinking more water and some almond milk. I also woke up this morning with a splitting headache, and felt off all day.. I feel fortunate that I only took one capsule and didn't have a worse reaction.. Too scary. | This drug has too many serious side effects that are life threatening. | F | 65 | 1 days 150 | 11/21/2014 | 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 | Root canal infection | Day 2 of being on this medicine and the pain has not subsided. I lost sleep over the intense pain I've been receiving. No side effects so far but the pain will not go away. My dentist prescribed me this since I'm allergic to amoxicillin and he promised me this would help with the pain. Something tells me he wasn't being completely honest. Definitely do not recommend this drug. | M | 25 | 2 days 300 | 11/7/2014 | 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 | Tooth Infection | Stomach aches, Bloating, Nausea, Headaches, Weakness, Chest Pain. I was on the medication for less than 24hrs and stopped. I will be calling my Dentist in the morning to seek an alternative antibiotic treatment. First time in all my days on earth that a medication made me feel like it was going to kill me. Unless I'm on my death bed I will not be taking Clindamycin. *Dangerous side effects that can be fatal* | M | 40 | 1 days 150mg | 10/28/2014 | 1 | Tooth infection | Stomach upset, loss of appetite, nausea, shortness of breath, tight throat, heartburn, chest pain. This medication was giving to me for a tooth infection following a wisdom tooth removal, and possible tooth abses... I've been taking it since I am allergic to amoxicillin... It has been so Awful nausea then the 3 & 4 day I started having a bit of heartburn.. Thought nothing of it until I started to have shortness of breath chest pain, tighness of throat.. Now have to take Nexium or a anti acid certain regimen to help with my burn stomach and esophagus... I couldn't be more unhappy who this stupid piece of crap medication... Don't take it!!! | F | 27 | 4 days 300mg | 10/27/2014 | 1 | staph infection | Headache, nausea and loss of appetite. Never will i take this poison again | F | 39 | 1 days | 10/19/2014 | 1 | gum infection | Heartburn, headache the first week. After 8 days developed very dark almost black stools. Also had some diarrhea earlier in the week. Surely there are other drugs to treat gum disorders. Never again for me. | F | 69 | 10 days 150mg 3X day | 10/16/2014 | 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 | 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 | Acute pharyngitis | I've taken this medication four times so far, two capsules each time. The last two times I had the most excruciating chest pain I've ever felt in my entire life. If this was heartburn, it's the worst I've ever had. And no, I did NOT lie down for 10 minutes after taking the medication, as directed. This pain was accompanied by profuse watering of my mouth and gagging, followed by a large amount of vomiting. Not to mention after throwing up probably everything I'd eaten that day, I was left with the most horrible taste in my mouth. Not sure if these side effects are worth it. | F | 17 | 10 days 150 MG | 7/23/2014 | 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 | 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 |
