Clindamycin obliterated the good bacteria in my colon. It took nine months of eating yogurt every day to recover.

After I took this medication for the required time I developed moderated diarrhea cramping.This necesttated me taking 2 days off of work due to the diarrhea. the doctor then xtraxted 3 broken teeth and wanted to put me on the medication again- I wasn't told that I could develop diarrhea so I again went on it...and it started again so i stopped it!

I went to the doctor with a list of complaints confusion, no energy, general feeling of crap, yellow-green skin, weird rash, can't sleep soundly. I am allergic to this stuff I am positive. doc told me to finish meds. No, I am finding a better listener for a doctor, he is fired!
