| Add Clindamycin review Clindamycin obliterated the good bacteria in my colon. It took nine months of eating yogurt every day to recover. STOMACCH STAYED UPSET,THE WHOLE TIME. MADE ME FEEL WORSE THAN BEFORE TAKING IT. abdominal and back pain made me dizzy and nauseated 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! | Add Erythromycin review I had worst stomach and chest pain ever.stay away from this poison. i was bitten by a spider right above my ankle on leg and let started turning purple and pus was coming out, took 250 mg 3 times a day and used hydrocortisone on area which was about 3 by 5 inches infected, after last dose and using the hydrocortisone sympton is nearly gone will continue to use hrdrocortisone and if needed i will see doctor if it doesnt clear up completely, i think i will have some scar tissue discoloration because i waited 2 months before telling doctor, but the medicine has worked really well so far, i can only recommend for problem like i had, it works Prescribed for tooth abscess.Might do its job; but, I will never know.
