| 1 | Abscess tooth. | Bloody diarrhea, headache,sweating,heart palpitations,stomach pain. | If I would have known about these possible side affects I would never had taken this medication. I have never experienced anything so awful from an antibiotic.I will never touch clindamycin ever again. This drug should be banned!!! | M | 52 | 7 days 300 | 7/27/2016 | 1 | Abscess | I experienced this horrible heartburn while taking this medicine. I told my doctor and he prescribed me something, but it didn't work!!! | F | 36 | 2 weeks | 7/20/2016 | 2 | Abcessed tooth extraction | Headache,dizziness,loose bowel, skin rash after stopping med | I stopped the meds per my Dr because the side effects were becoming bothersome. I also felt strange off I had trouble focusing and had anxiety and forgetfulness.I wont take this again | F | 41 | 8 days 300 mg 4x | 7/16/2016 | 1 | possible tooth abscess | Heartburn!Extreme diarrhea! Bloating. Bad naseua! Today day 5. I'm quitting...inside of mouth burning and numbness. Tongue swelling. Vaginal itch... | I'd rather have swelling on my gum the n these symptoms! Horrible!!! | F | 31 | 7 days 150 mg | 7/6/2016 | 1 | Tooth infection | Within 12 hours I was suffering heart palpitations, chest pain, stomach and abdomen cramping and diarrhoea, which increased in severity. My heart started to thump and then felt as if it was being rapidly turned over in my chest. On 4th day it was missing beats every 8 seconds or so, as confirmed on a hospital Emergency Room ECG. • Chest pains over the central sternum area. These symptoms relating to the heart and chest caused me much concern, as I have high blood pressure and was under the care of a Cardiologist in another city I had just moved from. • My stools had a reddish tinge, presumably from intestinal/bowel bleeding. • Clamminess, shivering, feeling of fever • Rapid heart rate. • Shortness of breath. • Headaches, behind the eyes and centre forehead. • Gritty feeling in my eyes. • Tremor in hands and fingers. • Sudden appearance of a red rash on my lower arms. • Weakness, fatigue, had to stay in bed almost | Our intestines have NO protection against these increasingly over-powerful drugs. Some create almost identical symptoms to poisoning, as with Clindamycin (Neocin). I took just 4 days’ dosage of this and had to be admitted to Emergency 3 times in a week, and experienced it raging through my intestines, liver, kidneys in an almost identical pattern as was caused by a redback spider bite a few years ago! Each organ it attacked gave symptoms of pain, malfunction, and my liver felt as if it was going to burst. I think this was the liver trying with all its might to rid my body of this drug. DEADLY. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It is not a Penicillin, but something entirely evil as far as I have experienced. I had this given to me by a dentist after I specifically told him I wanted only Penicillin as it has always given me safe healing throughout my 69 years of life. He deceptively ‘tried’ this ‘new antibiotic’ (Clindaymycin) and told me nothing. Within 48 hours I was experiencing the worst symptoms I have ever had in my life after taking medication, and lived in fear of it having caused clostridium dif., which is known to have caused death. There are entire websites recording the devastating effects of this “medication”, and giving details of 95% of people having been caused similar agonising symptoms, and even being admitted to ICU with their bodies shutting down to death. PLEASE BE WARNED. | F | 69 | 4 days 300mg 3X day | 7/5/2016 | 3 | Tooth extractiom | I did not have any problems until the 6th day , now i have diarrhea and blood in my stool and when i wipe. I have had some stomach cramps but not very bad. I am suppose to take it for 10 days but i'm a little scared to continue. This is my first time taking it . | I'm going to give it another day or so if the bleeding continues i'm calling my dr | F | 39 | 6 days 150 3X day | 6/30/2016 | 3 | Tooth abscess removal | Extreme nausea unless I stand for ten minutes. The first two days I have to take 2 capsules 3 times a day. That night I feel restless and then ended up with diarrhea and the next day when I woke up I continued to be stuck in the bathroom with diarrhea. The second dose that day I almost threw up because I sat down. I took natural dreamamine (ginger) so I wouldn't. | Day three: I am so tired. I feel like even though I slept for 13 hours last night I feel like passing out at any second. It's the weekend and will have to call dr on call to ask for Levaquin. I have an allergy to sulfa and penicillin 😑 | F | 30 | 1 days 150 | 6/25/2016 | 1 | Cellulitis | EXTREME fatigue and drowsiness, lethargy, severe heartburn, muscle soreness, vaginal discharge | Soooooo tired after a half hour of taking the drug, fell asleep at least 5 times at work, including on the floor (at work). Felt like a zombie. Hard to stay standing up. And theres no fighting it, I do not recommend taking this if you have to do anything other than sleep all day. VERY aggressive antibiotic, there should've been a warning on the bottle | F | 22 | 3 days | 6/16/2016 | 1 | Took this after oral surgery | Omg I feel like I'm extremely drunk. Can't do anything!! Sleeping.weird head fog. Very off!!!! I tried to split 300mg to 150mg and still I feel like I'm having an outer body experience! | If you need to go to work or you have things to do. Please do not take this!! You will be out of commission for a long time! | F | 1 days 300mg | 6/10/2016 | 2 | Prevent infection | Jittery, nausea, dark urine, headache (constant), dizziness, lightheaded, sharp pains in stomach, sore throat | Had wisdom teeth removed on first day I started taking it to prevent infection, woke up the next day with a fever chills lightheaded and nauseous. I immediately knew I didn't drink enough water with this medication. Drank water and had 800mg ibuprofen twice a day but fever stayed at 100 all day and continued with clindamycin. Woke up on the 3rd day feeling fine and forgot my first dose in the morning. Took one before work around 2 and felt weird going into work. Took another at 4 with plenty of water and started feeling nauseous and lightheaded. Took one more dose at around 11pm before I went to bed and woke up very nauseous. Will call my Surgeon tomorrow to talk about stopping this treatment to "prevent infection". Wish I had looked up side effects first. | F | 21 | 3 days 300 | 6/9/2016 | 3 | Ear and eye infection and celluliti | Was ok for the first few days, only feeling drowsy and a numbness on the right side of my face, including my teeth on the right side. But today I have felt as if I have drank a boiling cup of tea, my tongue is burnt, eating and drinking is more uncomfortable now than when my face was swollen. I'm irritable and emotional and I feel as if the swelling is starting to appear around my eye. Lips and tongue burning and tingling and feel as if I have no energy at all. | Will ring GP tomorrow to find out whether or not to continue using it. Worried as it's affecting my mouth and especially tongue. Really worried this might be an allergic reaction as I am deathly allergic to penicillin. Assuming that's why the urgent care doctor prescribed me this. | F | 27 | 5 days 150mg | 6/5/2016 | 3 | Staph infection- cellulitis | Severe Stomach Cramps, severe headache, severe bloating, mild but constant nausea, racing heart, soft stool, dark urine, blurry vision, shakiness, moderate fatigue | I am taking 300mg (two 150mg 4x a day for 2 weeks) for a staph infection. I eat tons of yogurt, drink lots of water and take a ton of probiotics. The stomach issue is slightly better with more water and probiotics but.. The cure may be worse than the curse. I've rarely ever even taken an antibiotic so I can only assume my infection was severe if they felt the need to punish me with this drug :/ | F | 47 | 2 weeks 300mg | 6/5/2016 | 2 | Tooth Abcess | Dizziness, heart burn, and some weird central nervous system issue that kicked my butt. I actually began to dream when lying awake, all the while experiencing very hard involuntary jerks and twitches that would cause me to start gasping for breath. I never fell asleep. This went on for hours after taking my second dose of 150mg and finally fell asleep from exhaustion around 4 a.m. Lost perception of reality to an extent, almost like I was on a bad high from a recreational drug. It took the entire next day to get over it and feel back to my normal self. | No more clindamycin for me! | M | 53 | 7 days | 5/30/2016 | 5 | Infection | I had no side effects until after the actual prescription was over. I had mild diarrhea, but absolutely no heartburn, nausea, absolutely the best course of medicine for me. | I would recommend prebiotics and probiotics, sleep, and lots and lots of water. My infection started clearing up within two days and was nothing but a memory by the end of the seven day regimen. | F | 36 | 7 days | 5/25/2016 | 3 | Pelvic/BV | Severe fatigue, muscle aches, headache. Really feel bad, can barely function. Want to sleep all the time but actually can't fall asleep for 2-3 hours even though I'm so tired. Had to use Monistat from day 2 for intense vaginal burning. I think the infection is gone but now I feel worse that I did before. Two more days to go... Toughing it out. | F | 38 | 5 days 300mg | 5/20/2016 | 1 | Golden staph | heartburn was bad. I actually wondered if I would die in my sleep coz it felt like my insides were on fire. Bloated and diarrhea. Stopped taking it today as I'm too scared. | If it can be avoided do not take this. My doctor just wrote the script and didn't explain anything to me about this drug. I am disappointed | F | 30 | 4 days ? | 4/30/2016 | 4 | skin infection (MRSA) | Loose stools, very bitter taste afterward, headache, fatigue | Doc put me on this with the option of being hospitalized for severe flare up. I could actually start feeling better before my second pill. Bitter taste and headache started about then too. After 24 hrs the fatigue and diarrhea began. For me the benefits outweigh the option. MRSA is an ugly thing! | F | 54 | 7 days 300MG 4X day | 4/21/2016 | 2 | Tooth Infection | SEVERE SEVERE Indescribable heartburn | I have a tooth infection & so have been having difficulties swallowing. I went to take a capsule & I felt it get caught mid way down. I took it w a great deal of water & even ate a little something to aide in it going down. About 10 minutes later,to describe it as heartburn just does not come close to explaining the excruciating pain that came, I thought I was dying of a heart attack or that acid was coming up & out & was burning right through all the soft tissue in my throat.It has been 3 hours & after handfuls of TUMS & other Antacids, along with gallons of water, I am STILL in a great deal of pain. I constantly feel the need to vomit but nothing comes up, I have just been dry heaving. It is the one of the worst things I have ever felt in my life & that's saying a lot, it feels like I have something lodged all throughout the entire length of my esophagus down into my stomach. Been through multiple major surgeries, several tooth abscesses,chemo for cancer, etc.THIS was by FAR one of the worst things I have experienced. Having such a dangerous powder within a gel capsule, one that can easily get stuck & begin to dissolve in an area of the body that it is not made to be in, can cause severe burns & other painful issues. I have heard horrific stories in where this has caused acute harm to people. This has been going on for years, why they have not formulated it in a different manner, is irresponsible & careless on the part of the manu | M | 38 | 2 days 300 mgs 4X day | 4/10/2016 | 1 | Tooth pain/broken tooth | Here is a FYI!! Be careful with Clindamycin Mine got caught in my throat yesterday, which lead to me gagging and vomiting. It exploded and the medicine got into my sinus cavity and attached to my uvula ( hangy thing in the back of your throat) which then swelled up to 5 times the normal size. Everything in my head region got burnt by the meds. My throat, sinus wall, mouth, everything. Due to that I could not talk or breath correctly. If I could post the pictures you would not believe it. The doctors have not seen anything like it before. So I was given some shots and new meds to get rid of the swelling. But she said it could take days for the burnt areas in my body to get back to normal. This was the only time in my life I was actually thinking I was going to die. It was the worst pain ever. Have to go back to the doctors today. So now I am paying copays, gas to go back-and-forth my doctors and who knows how many days of work I'm going to be missing.. Not to mention I can barely swallow which means I have not ate in two days. Prior to this I got extreme diarrhea, and headaches which I saw on the side effects that they could be possible | F | 40 | 8 days 300 mg | 4/7/2016 | 5 | Tooth pain | This medicine caused severe stomach pain,drowsiness, and weird head pain.I have stopped taking it. | F | 10 days 150 | 4/3/2016 |
