Cleocin (clindamycin): I got pseudomembranous colitis from this medicine but it put my MRSA back into being dormant.

Cleocin (clindamycin): Helped knock down MRSA infection, couldn't take full course of antibiotic, due to chest pains and inability to swallow for 3 days. Horrible pain, then the diarrhea started.

clindamycin: Taking this for a skin infection. The infection started to clear up on day 2 but the pills gave me horrible heartburn and nausea. It's better if I eat and then take the medication at the same time.

clindamycin: I experienced difficulty keeping up with my normal diet and felt extremely bloated and nauseated. Was not a fan of the diarrhea either.

clindamycin: My doctor prescribed this medication 2 days ago for boils. I can't believe how well it is working. My boils are clearing up already.

clindamycin: I was prescribed Cleocin for a MRSA infection of the skin. While the medicine began working within 2-3 hours, the side effects have been HORRID! I've had fever and chills, and feel like I have the flu times ten. My body aches, my head aches. I will be contacting my doctor as soon as possible to either come off or try something else. I don't care for the taste of Flagyl, but I'd take it any day rather than feel as bad as I do on this medicine!

clindamycin: Severe skin infection on ankle due to weed-wacking accident - infection and swelling gone in 5 days. No side effects despite having eczema, no allergic reaction so far with 3 and 1/2 days of 300mg capsules remaining.
