I wish I'd researched the horrible side effects of Clindamycin before taking it. On day 6, I began having mild stomach upset and a bad taste in my mouth that wouldn't go away.

This drug has been ok, I've been taking it for my tooth extraction, and since I discovered I was pretty allergic to the amoxicillin I was given prior (500MG).
