"Took this for strep. Was warned but thought “whatever, I’ve never had side effects.” I was so wrong. After about 30 hours of it, I woke up with a fever, bowel pain, and a metallic taste in my mouth. Immediately I stopped taking it and am doing better but now have a weird lower back pain. Long story short AVOID if you can."

"I started triple therapy of clindimycin, amoxicillin and a PPI 3 days ago for HPylori infection. I've been on a PPI and amoxocillin before with no side effects but not clindamycin. Its a big dose. 500mg twice a day for 7 days. The first 3 doses were awful. Disgusting taste in my mouth and terrible nausea with a gnawing, rumbly feeling in my stomach. After I read some advice on this page I tried drinking more water. Half pint before the dose then after. Plus a daily probiotic drink. I also didn't lie flat after dosage for an hour. This has made a huge difference. Still a bit of a taste but no nausea and a better sleep. Still 4 days to go but fingers crossed as the hpylori had been causing pain. Def good advice."
