"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 clindamycin, amoxicillin, and a PPI 3 days ago for H. pylori infection. I've been on a PPI and amoxicillin before with no side effects, but not clindamycin. It's a big dose: 500 mg 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 a 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 H. pylori had been causing pain. Definitely good advice."
