This is the 2nd time I took this med. The 1st time was after a root canal, and I had diarrhea within 3 days. I stopped the med and had diarrhea for 19 days, along with a trip to the ER for dehydration and migraine from the dehydration. THIS time.....I had strep throat and bacterial bronchitis. I took amoxicillin for 10 days. 3 days later i had the scratchy throat and pus starting to grow on my tonsils again. It was the weekend and my doc didn't call back. I went to an urgent care ctr where I was prescribed this med after the doc said i had tonsillitis and bronchitis. Day 3....diarrhea. Then it dawned on me that last summer's "incident" was NOT a stomach VIRUS, it was the effects of the clindamycin. From what I read, it shouldn't be given to people with a history of gastro issues. I HAVE MANY! And it should be more of a "last resort" med, where the benefits outway the side effects. I do take probiotics every day anyway, and step it up when on antibiotics....2 hrs after every dose of antibiotics i take the probiotics. BUT.... I should NEVER have been given this med for tonsillitis!!! Now I am AGAIN stuck in the house due to diarrhea that hits me whenever it feels like, with no warning. DONT TAKE THIS MED unless there is no other alternative!!!! YOU COULD GET C. DIFF!!! It COULD KILL YOU!!!

I'm keeping an eye on symptoms & will contact my doctor accordingly.
