Tooth/jaw infection. 7 days into clindamycin developed a raging bladder infection. Now have gastro-intestinal complications which are being analyzed to determine whether c. diff, gastritis, h. pylori or other agents are causing the severe abdominal bloating and pain. It should be noted that pro-biotics as well as yoghurt were consumed at higher than standard levels in an attempt to prevent complications from this drug. I think dentists should be required to read all the negative literature before prescribing this dangerous drug. No tests were run on my infection to determine why it did not respond to amoxicillin within 2 days. We went from a mostly benign antibiotic to a nuclear warhead with no intermediate stops!!!

I was prescribed this medication after a root canal. The Dr. warned me of the side effects, which made me wonder why he prescribed it! I experienced stomach pains and loose bowls. I finished my week long prescription, and feel fine now.

I wasn't feeling very ill, but my throat had been hurting on one side. Finally after several days I went to the doctor who said I had tonsilitis. She said she was prescribing a 'strong antibiotic' and I was like great, since clearly this infection can't be but so bad (no fever, no stopped up nose, no nothing... wasn't even feeling sick)it should clear it right up.

I wasn't feeling very ill, but my throat had been hurting on one side. Finally after several days I went to the doctor who said I had tonsilitis. She said she was prescribing a 'strong antibiotic' and I was like great, since clearly this infection can't be but so bad (no fever, no stopped up nose, no nothing... wasn't even feeling sick)it should clear it right up. She informed me to eat yogurt so I wouldn't get a yeast infection. I started on Sunday about 12p and today is Wed. I have had a headache almost daily after taking my second dose, had heartburn yesterday and some today. I serioulsy felt 1,000 times better BEFORE starting this medication! I am officially taking myself off of this medication and requesting a Z-pack which is what I normally take if I need antibiotics (which is rare)Today I had a near-migraine level headache, I'm a single mom and was laying in bed from 5:30-8:30 before I could even get up. The infection still isn't completly cleared up. If I was on the z-pack I know I would feel 100% better right now. My head still hurts and it's 10:15 at night and I have a school assignment I'm supposed to be working on and can barely stand to sit up. Never again will I accept this med, and I called my doctor today and the office stated it would be at least 24 hours before I get a return call. Oh and despite eating yogurt daily, I think I am in the beginnings of a yeast infection!

Plus they taste horrible and make me want to throw up. Yuck!

This was prescribed for my 19 yr old after a root canal. She started having stomach upset by day 2 and by day 3 she was in extreme pain. Whole abdominal area hurt. She could barely take a decent breath. We wound up in the ER. She was give 2 different drugs for pain IV that barely touched the pain. Ultrasound of all vital organs revealed nothing, blood and urinalasis was normal. She was still in so much pain 2 days later we went to internist who ordered CT of abdomin and pelvis. Which were clear. The print out from the pharmacy didn't list Abdominal pain as RX list did in the 1# spot. Didn't list it at all. Why didn't hospital and MD immediately assume it was this med? Why should she still be in pain day after stopping taking it for just 3 days??
