"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."

"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."
