Prescribed to me for gum infection in my mouth. Medicine caused nausea/gagging and extreme diarreah. I also had excess urination. So if taking this pill, have a bathroom nearby and a room spray for the diarreah. Get generic form, it's cheaper and just as effective. This antibiotic will NOT give you a yeast infection if you are a female, like Amoxxicillian does. This RX changed my eating h ... Show Full Comment

This antibiotic will NOT give you a yeast infection if you are a female, like Amoxxicillian does. This RX changed my eating habits while on it because of the nausea. But as soon as meds were done, my eating and bowel habits returned to normal. What kind of scientist would create a drug to cause nausea, diarreah and loss of appetite? There has GOT to be an easier way.

It caused severe stomach pain. It is worse than labor pains. My intestines were very inflamed that i can not stand to have it touched at all. I have been in bed for 3 days with the pain. I do not wish this on my worse enemy on thier best day. I have a high pain tolerance and this tops it all.

50yr old female. Generic Cleocin post root canal and a tooth extraction. My Rx 150mg cap x3 orally per day for 10 days. I took it as Rx as required except near the last 3 days when I simply forgot to take it. I tended to be 2-4hrs off sched. With that said, initially the drug made me a bit nauseous 20min after taking it and that lasted about an hr. Nothing serious. I did not emit, however. I took it with soymilk, a meal, and sometimes with just about 6oz of water and not food. No problems. My jaw was swollen pretty badly from the dental work and took until day 5 to notice a reduction in the swelling. Today is day 11 and it is still noticeably swollen. At about day 6, I had headaches, and a noticed a light rash on my face in the swollen area. At day 11 (today), Rx is done and I see a rash on the other side of my neck that looks like little white head pimples. These were not there yesterday. I also noticed for since day 8, increases in my body temp during the night and anxiety type reactions (increase heart rate for no particular reason). Now, someone might argue that I am 50 and this might be coincidental (premenopausal), but I have not previous signs of this. I am hoping that the headaches, night heat, and nausea will cease now that the Rx is done.

I had a root canal done about one month ago at which time my gums around the tooth became swollen. my dentist gave me a 10 day dose of amoxicillin which seemed to reduce the swelling for a few days but then it returned. my dentist gave me a new 10 day dose of clindamycin which i have taken for 5 days now. it made my stomach a little uneasy and had given me a very slight head throp when i bent ove ...

I had a root canal done about one month ago at which time my gums around the tooth became swollen. my dentist gave me a 10 day dose of amoxicillin which seemed to reduce the swelling for a few days but then it returned. my dentist gave me a new 10 day dose of clindamycin which i have taken for 5 days now. it made my stomach a little uneasy and had given me a very slight head throp when i bent over to pick anything up off of the floor. my stools are are loose but not too bad. i have had to pee 5 times during the night instead of my normal 2 (but i am drinking extra amounts of water as suggested). had some minor chills and then some minor too hot feelings in bed but not too bad. i decided to skip taking any in the middle of the night since i did not want to stay up for 10-30 minutes before going back to bed (this has helped my system i think). i am taking 3 300mg doses per day for 10 days. Noticed some minor sore muscles each morning when i wake up which seem to wear off. I think it is working and i am getting better. Thank you to all the others who made comments which help people understand what this drug can do. I hope those who have had bad reactions recover asap. my suggestion is to not take it right before bed or in the middle of the night. and eating a little yogurt seems to help settle my stomach when taking this Rx.
