Heartburn, feeling sick during treatment, headaches, | The only side effects I didn't get were the stomach ones. Stay away from this medicine. | F | 36 | 10 days | 12/8/2016 | 1 | tooth abscess | HORRIBLE. Fatigue, all I want to do is sleep, irritable, depressed, painful joints, exhaustion, fuzzy thinking, empty headed. I have no patience with anybody, and I have no capacity to work at all, and I need to work. No energy. No functionality. Miserable. | F | 67 | 7 days 300 4X day | 12/5/2016 | 5 | Acne | First night I got this, I put the lotion on at night before bed and then again the next morning. I started feeling nausea and my stomach feeling upset, needing the bathroom a lot but not too bad, that was at about 6pm that same day, I then put the lotion on again as prescribed before bed. I felt horrible the next morning, I put the lotion on this morning as usual and this evening I feel light headed, really nauseous, stomach is upset, feel so drained, mood swings, I'm not even going to bother putting that stuff on again, and hope this feels will go away if I do. | F | 29 | 3 days 30ML | 12/4/2016 | 4 | Infection in Tooth | i took 2 150 mg 3 times/day for first 3 days, then 1 3 times/day. First I noticed was a fuzzy feeling in my head within an hour after first pills; i had the diarrhea and some heartburn; but most of all was it made me highly emotional with mood swings. My husband took my car keys, and i don't know what i would have done if I had to go to work while taking this. Within 48 hrs after I stopped taking my mind is back and mood swings have stopped. | F | 54 | 10 days 150 3X day | 11/16/2016 | 1 | To prevent infection | Nausea, dizziness, c.diff. | I was prescribed Clindamycin after dental implant to prevent possible infection. After experiencing dizziness, I stopped taking it.Two days later I started having diarrhea.I was also losing weight, which was bad since I am thin. After two weeks, I went to see my doctor, who immediately suspected c. diff. because of this drug, which was confirmed by labs. I was sick for 3 weeks. It did much more harm than good to me. BEWARE! | F | 65 | 5 days 150 4X day | 10/29/2016 | 1 | Cellulitis, abscess, bronchitis | Never had a problem with this drug before. Just got done with a course of Zpack (Zithromax) for bronchial pneumonia. Have had dental issues for awhile now. Went to emergency room and was dx with facial cellulitis and an abscessed impacted wisdom tooth. I have an exterior abscess on the right side of my jaw with the cellulitis. Was Prescribed Cleocin (Clindamycin HCL) 300 mg 4 times daily. First dose I took with soy yogurt (I'm vegan) and some coconut milk. 30 mins after ingesting the antibiotic, I experienced severe stomach pain, diarrhea, sleepiness, vivid dreams and woke up with a horrible HA and left side eye pain. Feeling chilled to the bone, tremors of my hands, and general malaise. I also woke up to very uncomfortable deep muscle pain in my quadriceps up into the groin region. Made myself some sweet potato minestrone soup last night and reheated some to eat to try to combat some of the nausea. Ended up getting sick. Pushing fluids as much as possible. Metallic taste in mouth which is very unpleasant. I have autoimmune colitis and didn't know that Clindamycin can cause colitis and C-Diff.. I just recovered from a colitis flare up. I know that cellulitis and abscesses are serious diagnosis.. I also have MRSA so my options for ABX are limited. I also have a penicillin allergy. | Would not recommend this to anyone. Calling my primary care physician tomorrow for a follow up appointment to go over other options in terms of treatment. I've already missed over a week of work due to the bronchial pneumonia, and can't work until it's completely treated as I am a CNA in a LTC/Rehabilitation facility and I care for the elderly/immunocompromised. Very frustrating. | F | 31 | 1 days 300 mg | 10/9/2016 | 2 | Dental infection post teeth extract | At first the worst was severe heartburn, but bearable with food and lots of water, but the side fx built up day by day: Nausea, pain under left breast, tight feeling in throat, dizziness, body aches like the flu, severe fatigue, anorexia, intractable lower back pain, sores in mouth, pustules on face, just so sick you feel dying would be a relief. The "expert Dr." insists its not the poison you're ingesting,it's the infection that is killing you. It got so bad I had to go to the ER. They have no clue it's the damn drug, they think it's the infection and write you another scrip. WTH!? Well, I stopped it, and it took 3 days to recover. Well, I'm allergic to amoxicillin, so now what? Hopefully, my immune system is strong enough to heal me. This antibiotic is bad news, and the worst part, the doctor's only alert you to the diarrhea issue. That's the only thing I didn't have. | Don't let the doctor tell you it's all in your head, or it takes time to get better. They are educated by the "evil" drug reps, and their agenda is drug pusher big profits for Big Pharma. Patient beware. Oh, and pharmacy comes from pharmakeia, Greek for "sorcery." | F | 68 | 3 weeks 300mg 4x d | 10/8/2016 | 1 | Cellutis- left side of face swollen | HEADACHE, Heart racing scaring the sh*t out of me… Blood pressure high, feeling light head and dizziness. Feel pain behind my eye lid and neck shoulder stiffness now | Run away from this not worth it.just stop taking four days ago. Bp went back to normal still have heart racing and stiffness in neck and feeling of fatgiue will never let know one give me this medicine again only if they say you are going to die if you don't take it. That is how serious and bad the side affects are.. I never write nothing for reviews but I had to share this and hopes this help. | M | 36 | 10 days 300mg | 9/30/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | Stabbing pain like knives in my back and stomach | $5.00 purchase for worst pain of my life | F | 26 | 1 days 300 | 9/26/2016 | 4 | Dental infection | I've worked in hospitals for 30 years, and believe me, every drug out there has some type of side effect. It's killing germs and infection so of course it is strong. I'm allergic, deadly allergic, to any type of penicillin. It had always worked great, and was cheap, but if I took it now I could die. So, it's cut down on many , many antibiotics I can take. I'm pretty much down to Biaxin and Clindamycin. Both, of course have some side effects. Nasty taste in mouth, stomach problems. But the truth is, compared to the pain of my infection, I deal with it. If anyone expects a miracle drug with no side effects, there are none. You find what works best for you, with the least amount of side effects, and you take it so you eventually feel better. Never, ever stop taking it, without getting put on something else. Even if you feel better you must continue the course of antibiotics. Feeling a bit better doesn't mean the infection is gone. If you stop, it WILL come back, and worse tha | I'm taking this ...150 MG 2 tablets every 6 hours. | F | 2X day | 9/1/2016 | 1 | Hydrochloride burn due to a retreat | Horrible headaches worst ever, severe diarrhea with blood, body ache, dizziness, anxiety trouble breathing. It's the worst antibiotics I have ever taken. Please ask for something else. | Would not recommend this to anyone. Horrible side affects. | F | 42 | 7 days | 8/28/2016 | 1 | Skin Infection | I was prescribed this drug for a wound I experienced on my leg. It may have been beneficial, but I experienced truly horrific headaches and malaise. Horrible!! | Severe headaches and malaise (lethargy) I would suggest that anyone ask for -any- other antibiotic than this.... | M | 39 | 10 days 300MG 3X day | 8/21/2016 | 2 | Severe cut on leg. | Severe heartburn 3-5 min after taking, nausea. | F | 71 | 4 days 300MG Cap | 8/7/2016 | 3 | Cellulitis | Total body fatigue, nausea, body aches. Feels like the flu without the fever. Sleep all the time. Can't function at work. | It is resolving the infection but nowhere on the bottle does it mention causes fatigue. Would not run heavy equipment or perform any activity that requires concentration. | F | 48 | 6 days 150 mcg 3X day | 8/3/2016 | 1 | Exacted tooth, developed dry socket | Went to Dentist, he put medicine where tooth was extracted and felt great, took the Clindamycin he prescribed for it, 2nd dosage first day, developed bad pain in sinus cavities, head, cheek bones, and the pain where extracted is bad, but it wasn't bad once Dentist put the meds on it, only bad after this pill. This pill is NOT helpful, I believe it to be toxic, and Absoutely should not be prescribed to anyone ever!! This has been my 2nd visit to this Dentist for the dry socket, same area, he knows I have to go to work, so why prescribe such a toxic medication??? Anyone reading this, belive all the bad reviews you are reading, DON'T TAKE THIS JUNK! | I also have a bad headache, DON'T TAKE IT AND QUESTION YOUR DOCTOR WHY IN THE WORLD THEY WOULD PRESCRIBE SOMETHING SO TERRIBLE | F | 41 | 1 days 300mg, 3x | 8/1/2016 | 1 | a severe cut on my leg | First it was my left leg broke out in hives and when the doctor took me of of clindamycin, my left left swollen up from the tip of my feet to the top calf | F | 54 | 4 days 30 | 8/1/2016 | 5 | Wisdom tooth pain | I experienced diarrhea shortly after I started taking the capsules. The dentist told me to stop taking them for two or three days, then resume. I did this and the diarrhea didn't happen again. I experienced tightness in my throat immediately after taking the capsule. The pain in my tooth subsided then stopped. I've noticed that since taking this drug, that my defecation has become more normal. It used to be on a weekly or longer cycle, with large bowel motion. It is now on a two day cycle with smaller bowel motions. An interesting drug! | M | 78 | 7 days 300mg 4X day | 7/30/2016 | 1 | abscess tooth | I have been taking this for about a week now and all of a sudden the last couple of days it's getting stuck n my throat and burning all day long... Nothing will take the burn away!!! | F | 27 | 3 times 150 mg | 7/28/2016 |
