"Was prescribed clindamycin to treat a tooth infection after pulling a tooth. WORST drug ever. I couldn’t walk straight for days, dry mouth and down there. Don’t ever take this drug, please, people!!! Pick something else but not this."

"I was prescribed this drug after a severe bacterial infection was detected in my blood. The symptoms quickly went away as soon as I started taking the capsules. However, I am still having diarrhea-which wasn't there previously-two weeks after completing my dose. The thing is, this diarrhea is preceded by a gut-wrenching pain that feels like air is being forcefully blown through my entrails. Plus, I have some funny taste in my mouth that has forced me to keep and chew candy 24/7. All in all, it is a good drug if it treats that which caused the doc to prescribe it in the first place. Just be prepared to handle the side effects for a while."
