    The horrible side effects of this medication are worse than the MRSA. I am on day 7 of 14. After reading all of the reviews, I think I am done with it. It is 4:00a.m. and the heartburn is like nothing I have ever felt. Stomach pain, teeth numb, headache, dizzy. Thank the Lord I work at home.

    I was prescribed clindamycin to prevent bacterial infection after having a root canal redone. Took 300 mg immediately then 150 mg every 6 hours. On day 3 I woke up with diarrhea. I'm very frustrated and frightened because on the drug info sheet and in these user reviews there all all these warnings about serious digestive problems, but they say not to take ant-acids etc. and to call your doc ...
