Increased heart rate. Trouble sleeping. Anxiety/depression attacks. Upset stomach. Dhiarrea. Vaginal discharge. | Have been taking the medication two times a day, for 7 days. I stopped taking it for the heartburn, as I actually thought I was having a heart attack at one point. I felt like I was having a seizure of some sort. I stopped taking it yesterday, but it has been 4 days now that I have this feeling of worry, anxiety and constant problems keeping calm. My heart suddenly accelerates while sleeping and I just can't keep calm. Not taking this again never. I am allergic to penicillin. | F | 29 | 7 days 300 mg | 3/27/2016 | 1 | Abscess tooth | Dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, no clue who I was, random pains, throat hurt | I was prescribed Clindamycin for a abscess tooth that I'm getting out in a week. 300 MG 3X a day for a week. I took one pill after breakfast and 30 minutes after just went into a daze and felt like a zombie at work. Took the other pill 6 hours later after lunch and that's when the nausea hit. I called my dentist and told the receptionist about my symptoms and she said she'd tell the dentist and never got back to me Thursday afternoon or Friday. Here it is Saturday and don't know what to do about this abscess. This pill has caused more pain than good. I will die of an infection before I take this position again. | M | 23 | 1 days 300 MG | 3/26/2016 | 1 | By the 3rd day I felt like I was going to die my heart was beating fast and I had a headache and bloated and light headed and dizzy my wrists and hands were tingly I also felt lethargic | I'm not sure if it's because of clindamycin but a few days later I'm having anxiety and sadness at times and I've never been this way before | M | 50 | 3 days | 3/24/2016 | 3 | Abscesses on private areas | Sore breasts, diarrhea, mild stomach pain | After seeing such terrible reviews and the fact my butthole hurts(sorry to be graphic) but I'm not taking this anymore. | F | 18 | 4 days | 3/20/2016 | 3 | Infection | Horrible heart burn. Worst heartburn pain I have ever felt. Stomach pain. I think this pill is getting stuck! | F | 40 | 7 days 300 mg 2X day | 3/7/2016 | 1 | Major tooth extractions and abscess | Chronic nausea, inability to sleep, major anxiety, drained, headaches... Finished regime. On the last day of taking it started the soft stools, now day following full blown diarrhea and severe stomach cramps. Heart is still racing liken to anxiety. | I was given this particular med as I'm allergic to most other antibiotics. At this given time I will be adding this to my list of allergies. This is a drug that should be highly informed to the patient of the possible severity of side effects! | F | 50 | 7 days 300mg x4 | 2/28/2016 | 5 | tooth: infection behind root | I had an ever so slight headache after day 5, tired at day end. I did not have diahrea, nausea, etc. | Followed advice and took probiotic inbetween doses... over the counter variety 1/2 capsule 2x a day with 16+ ounces of water. Took Clindamycin with 20+ ounces of water 4 times a day. I followed directions and did not lay down for 15 to 20 minutes after doses. I am not on any other medications. This product worked well. I took it after my root canal revealed complicated infection; my cheek was very swollen and is now back to normal | F | 71 | 7 days 150mg 4X day | 2/21/2016 | 1 | Removed abcess | Nausea, joint pain, pustules, thrush, constipation, conjuctivitis | Had an IV drip in for a similiar antibiotic. It had to be reinserted every day because the liquid would clog up my veins and create hideous painful pustels. Very painful. Being put on these Clindamycin tablets later the pustels began occurring at random spots on my body. Nurses or my surgeon weren't concerned. Very painful and bloody bowel movements. Utterly severe vaginal thrush. The joint pain kept me awake every night. The nausea never left me once. When I was finally discharged from hospital, I looked up these side effects and connected the dots. Called my doctor and he took me off this drug immediately. Even my pharmacists mentioned how heavy this prescription was. Everything's clearing up now at last. Thank God. Never again. | F | 22 | 6 days | 2/15/2016 | 3 | For my finger | none | none | F | 27 | 2 times 300 150 | 2/10/2016 | 1 | tooth extraction | Dizziness/lightheaded, heartburn, headache, fatigue, chest pain, palpitations, chest tightness, tingly arms, back pain and weird random pains | I got a tooth pulled. To prevent infection they gave me clindamycin to take 4x per day. I ended up only taking 2 or 3 a day and stopped a day or two early. About 4 days into it I got severely nauseous and dizzy and my arms got really tingly. Felt crappy for a few more days. I stopped the meds early and probably 4 days after stopping I started having chest palpitations and went to the er. No diarrhea. But I have been having a lot of chest tightness dizziness and still have tingly feeling in arms back pain increased heart burn and weird pains all over. My heart still feels like it is beating harder. Follow up with Dr this week. This all started happening after I took clindamycin. I still feel like crap and felt like I was going to die. It felt like I was having a heart attack. I would not recommend this and will never ever take again. | F | 31 | 6 days 300mg 4x/d | 1/24/2016 | 5 | Severely abscessed tooth | I have experienced some stomach pain when first taking medication and poor gag reflex... | This medication worked wonderful for the problem I was having.
