| 1 | infection | Sever stomach cramps, heart burn, heavy chest, lower back pain | Stopped taking tablets on the 6th day of treatment. Just couldn't take it anymore! Still feel very unwell. Stomach still cramps throughout the day/night, much worse when stomach is empty. Find out what other medications are available before taking this | F | 29 | 7 days 150 | 5/30/2015 | 1 | Deep puncture wound on calf. | Bloody mucus diarrhea bowel movements. Bad taste in mouth, coated tongue. Certain foods, like grapes, taste very sour. Some difficulty swallowing "dry" foods. Lost 18 pounds in about 15 days (I am overweight), still losing. | Symptoms started about 10 days after I finished medication and have continued to get worse...it's now six weeks later and I have to have a colonoscopy/endoscopy. C.Diff was suspected but tested negative. Now I am wondering if it has caused Irritable Bowel Disease, which I have never had before. | F | 52 | 7 days 300 3X day | 5/27/2015 | 1 | Access tooth | Cleared my infection, and didn't get side effects until 3 days after I finished taking. Nausea, extreme headaches, black Stool for 7 days, I am on the way to my after hours clinic when I was told to come in immediately | Do not take this medication unless you want other damage done to your body!! | F | 34 | 1 months 300mg | 5/26/2015 | 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 | pneumonia | Horrible cramps, upper back pain and non stop diarrhea 10 to 16 trips to bathroom a day.no appetite. | finished 10 days of meds 4 days ago. Still having all the same side affects even with probiotics and yogurt. | F | 58 | 10 days 300 MG X 4 | 5/10/2015 | 2 | "infection" on my toe and face | Terrible migraines that would not go away, nauseous like I'm going to vomit any minute, lower belly pain and uncomfortableness, bloated feeling, heavy chest, loss of appetite and thirst | An urgent care doctor prescribed this to me bc of an infection on my face he believed to be mrsa without checking and I believed to be a spider bite,who knows? And I also had an infection on my big toe from cutting the nail too short. I was given this and bactrim, I felt it was a little much but whatever. I looked up this medication bc I had bactrim before and was curious what would happen if I layed down and found numerous reviews on multiple sites of all the reasons I feel awful! Never had a clue bc I just had a tubal done not even a week prior to starting this medication plus I suffer from multiple kidney stones, so I was currently taking narcotics (which the urgent care Dr was made fully aware of). And apparently taking narcotics with this medication makes the side effects worse! Yay me... Never taking this again and will probably stop taking today after I talk with my actual doctor. | F | 24 | 5 days 150mg | 5/4/2015 | 1 | ingrown toe nail infection | Abdominal cramping, toxic smelling gas, now one whole month without a normal bowel movement. Losing weight bc everytime I eat, I'm running to bathroom. Severe diarrhea, sometimes black. | I wish this pain on no one, please do not chose this as an antibotic, there's so many others that won't cause these issues. | 30 | 10 days | 5/1/2015 | 3 | infected gum around impacted wisdom | Heartburn could be severe, similar to getting big pill stuck part way down. | It seemed to do fine at wiping out my infection. I learned from trial and painful error that heartburn could be kept tolerable by taking clindamycin only when my stomach was empty and then not eating for about 2 hours. Taking on a full stomach led to 30-60 minutes of misery starting about 5 min after swalloing. | M | 78 | 7 days 300 3X day | 4/30/2015 | 4 | Infected hangnail | Fatigue, always thirsty, darkened stools, headaches once I stopped taking it, blurry vision | It worked, side effects not as bad as Keflex (which I can't take because it gives me really bad headaches). I think the dosage and length of time given to me was extreme, but worked. Also, if I ate yogurt twice a day and my stomach wouldn't hurt | F | 40 | 10 days 4x a day | 4/16/2015 | 2 | Implant, Prevention of infection | Dizziness,brurred vision, numerous bowel movements, 5-6 a day, not diarrea But tarry string | Dentist put me on to prevent possible infection after #7 implant surgery. 6th & 7th day bowel movements increased 5/6 per day. Not diarrea but tarry stool. Concerned about effects of this drug. Read what others have experienced, time to get off this Med. No infection, cross my fingers. | M | 68 | 6 days 300MG 3/da | 4/12/2015 | 2 | Tooth abcess | Severe heartburn and the feeling that the pill was stuck in my throat and in My chest. Mild burping even without having eaten anything. Also feeling like I'm coming down with a cold and am really tired with achy legs much like the body fatigue one feels at the onset of the flu. It has been just under 24 hours since I've taken a pill but will not be finishing the rest. Every time I swallow, I feel a heaviness in my chest. Was NOT a pleasant experience and I usually tolerate medications very well with no problems. Just fyi, I am not on any other medications for anything and followed the doctors instructions on how to take this drug. | F | 41 | 1 days 300 | 4/3/2015 | 5 | Root Canal Prep | Taking this drug because I am allergic to penicillin. Burning in throat on second day. Painful to swallow food. Chewing 3 Tums helped immediately. Heartburn started on 3rd day and continues thru day 5 (today). Called my dentist who prescribed it to me. Waiting for his call back. Sweating at night. Took last daily pill just before going to bed. On 5th day, Tums not as effective but still helps. | M | 63 | 5 days 300 4X day | 3/31/2015 | 4 | Sinus infection | Given this with Prednisone because Levofloxacin wasn't working. Doctor only said it may cause diarrhea. While taking it I had looser BM's but no actual diarrhea but did have occasional episodes of heartburn and nausea. One time at lunch I got bad stomach pains, heartburn and hot flash that lasted about 15 minutes and then went away. After being on it for 7 days I developed a bad metallic taste in my mouth and was occasionally nauseous. Today is the first day off the medicine and I now have a dull headache and am feeling somewhat fatigued again. When I mentioned taste in my mouth the doctor said it was from continued sinus drip (which I thought was gone) and not the drug. After reading the reviews I'm nervous about what the next few days will bring. | I will not take this again. I gave it a 4 rating because it did clear up my infection. | F | 66 | 10 days 150 3X day | 3/24/2015 | 1 | Root canal | Diarrhea, dizzy, nauseous, light headed, vaginal discharge | As you can see i wasnt even taking the meds a full 24 hours yet and i started feeling the discharge then came the diarrhea and light headed and nauseous i had to go and lay down i went to sleep immediately for about a hour and a half crazy DO NOT TAKE THIS MESS. | F | 29 | 1 days | 3/23/2015 | 1 | For an infection. | I am absolutely horrified of all medicine's now. My doctor did not warn me of the horrible side effects. I got extremely sick every time I ate so went to the emergency room. They tested for C-diff which came back negative, thank goodness. But I am still suffering from severe cold tingling arms, headaches and I'm swollen in my genital area. Getting in to see another Dr in a couple days. | THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE MARKET. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS FDA APPROVED. | F | 35 | 7 days 300 MG | 3/13/2015 | 1 | for an infected tooth | Bleeding of stomach vomiting blood and tarry stool. | Four 1/2 days in the hospital. Two blood transfusions. | M | 64 | 10 days 30 mg | 3/4/2015 | 3 | Root canal | I've been extremely nauseous and have had low energy. I have a HORRIBLE taste in my mouth which makes me gag at times. Loss of appetite. | I am concerned after reading some of the other reviews and am considering talking to my dentist tomorrow about switching to something else. I don't want to my tooth to get infected, however, it's hard to function feeling nauseous all of the time & having this horrible taste in my mouth. | F | 36 | 3 days 300 3X day | 3/3/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | Severe chest pain, felt like pill was stuck in chest cavity, flu like, headache | This drug is DANGEROUS. Will never take again | F | 49 | 300 3X day | 2/26/2015 | 1 | I had an infection | I have experienced fever, severe watery diarrhea, upset stomach, loss of appetite & in severe dehydration. This is the worst drug ever! I have been 5 days without is and still having these symptoms. I have already had 2 doc appts in 2 days and and other one today if my doc doesn't think things are improving she is going to send me to the ER. | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!! | F | 22 | 6 days 300 mg | 2/26/2015 | 1 | Tooth Abscess Infection | Went into ER with a low fever from tooth infection. After being prescribed Clindamycin, my fever shot up to 106, and my liver and kidneys began failing. I nearly died as a result of taking this medication, and ended up in the ICU for 4 days, then the inpatient care ward for another 6 days. I've been out of the hospital now for 3 days, but still have liver and kidney toxicity which will take 2 weeks to a month to recover from. | Worst and scariest medication experience of my life. This drug is too dangerous to be given to people. | M | 29 | 3 days 500 mg 4xD | 2/25/2015 |
