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 | 3 | infected root canal with abscess | first day I had really bad diarrhea which was controlled with immodium and BRAT diet. Bad heartburn, headaches everyday, malaise and fatigue, dizziness, blurred vision. | I felt awful when taking this drug, i have taken this before but dont remember feeling this bad or the diarrhea. | F | 52 | 6 days 150 4X day | 8/4/2014 | 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 | 1 | Root canal infection | Very painful heartburn, shortness of breath, dizzy, nausea | Day 2 of being on this drug, experienced all symptoms stated, all at the same time. Scared me to death as I didn't know what what happening. Didn't know about all the side effects associated & not allergic to any drug. On day 3, first dose of the day, same symptoms occurred. 10-15 min after taking it. Then I knew it was because of the meds. Dr. Told me to stop takin it and if symptoms don't start getting better in 10 min, go to the E.R. Again, symptoms slowed but slight pain stays around all day. 2nd episode was worse then the 1st. But my tooth pain is getting better. Horrible side effects though. Wow! | F | 46 | 7 days 300 mg 4X day | 6/22/2014 | 3 | After dental implant | My problems didn't start at first. In fact while I was taking it I didn't notice too much, just a little nausea. But after 5 days I started getting some mild cramping and after I finished it I started waking up every morning with stomach cramps and end up in the bathroom for an extended period of time. I don't have diarrhea, but weird skinny stool as others have described. This has continued for over a week after taking it so far. I expect it to stop, but I am concerned after reading the comments here. I won't be taking this again. | F | 60 | 7 days 150mg 3X day | 6/6/2014 | 1 | Abcsess tooth | Nausea, loss of appetite, bloating, stomach cramps, diarrhea, sores in mouth, cracked tongue, headache ....ended up with c. Difficile infection...was told to never take again... Been two weeks still sick must start another antibiotic specific to this bacteria | F | 49 | 4 days 300mg e6h | 5/28/2014 | 1 | bacterial infection | I took one pill with dinner. I will never take this medicine again. One pill gave me the most horrific headache of my life. The acid reflux from the pill was nothing compared to the pain in my head. My vision was affected for 5 days. I was dizzy and became nauseous from constantly being dizzy. I felt like someone beat my eye sockets, side and back of my head with a baseball bat. It was like a concussion in pill form but worse. It took five days for the dizziness and vision problems to subside. I still have a slight headache but I will never take this poison again. | F | 36 | 1 days 300mg hcl | 5/17/2014 | 5 | Dead Root Canaled tooth | Diarrhea, unless probitoics and management of dosage is taken. | This is an ANAEROBIC antibiotic. This means that it will kill the infection residing in your infected tooth, however it will also kill the anaerobes in the gut. It is not smart like that, it is your job to understand this. Take probiotics. I cut the dosage back to 1 300mg pill am and 1 300 mg pill pm, worked just fine. Do not use calcium-based antiacids (Rolaids, Tums, milk, etc). This medication is very effective if you understand the cause, effect, symptoms and medication. DO THE RESEARCH, GOOGLE IS FREE. | M | 50 | 30 days 500mg 3X day | 4/17/2014 | 4 | Infection from extractions | None because I started taking Ultimate Flora immediately. If you must take antibiotics, start taking a probiotic at the same time. | I had been on amoxicillin for 5 days and was getting worse so clindamycin was prescribed for 14 days. I had read the comments here so got ultimate flora and have had NO problems. Not even indigestion. The amoxicillin had given me diarrhea and a yeast infection | F | 50 | 10 days 30 mg 4X day | 4/4/2014 | 1 | cellulitis | Clindamycin caused me to get C.Difficile, I was so sick I wanted to die and it actually does kill 14,000 people a year. Can cause permanent damage to intestines, colitis, etc. This poison should be taken off the market completely. | F | 65 | 10 days 300 | 3/25/2014 |
