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 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.

THIS MEDICINE CAUSES A SEVERE ITCHY RASH AND SEVERE HEARTBURN. I was given this medication when diagnosed with a peritonsillar abscess. My condition presented as a very severe sore throat on one side of my throat. Actually, my tonsils were removed when I was a child. My condition improved immediately and then the sore throat came back on the other side. I experienced severe heartburn while taking the med but the instructions said to finish the whole prescription, so I continued to take the medication as the sore throat had not gone away. I just put up with the heartburn. After 6 days of the 7-day dosage I broke out in a severe red, hot, itchy rash all over my body, scalp and arms and I still have the heartburn. I am going to a different doctor today to try to get some relief for this rash. I also have diarrhea and the beginnings of a vaginal yeast infection. Do not take this medication.
