Clindamycin Phosphate side effects

I am a 23 year old female. Taking Clindamycin for tooth infection before having root canal. Am allergic to penicillin. I experienced stomach cramps, clay colored watery diarrhea, esophagitis, nausea and headache. Mild diarrhea also noted in 2 year old nursing toddler.

I was on the medication to treat a really bad eye infection. I can tell you it was really bad for me.....I got very very sick after and now have Colitis caused by the medication. They didn't tell me that this was a possibility and it changed my life forever. If there is another drug to take I would suggest taking it and not Clindamycin because the risk's for intestinal problems are very high.

Had a terrible allergic reaction from it.
It started as cold like symptoms and my throat and nose were terribly inflamed. I thought I had just caught something.

By the third day of this though, still using the Clindamycin not knowing this was the cause, my throat was closed up so much that I had to go to an emergency care clinic to figure out what was happening, and that it was an allergic reaction from the topical. I could barely breathe, and I choked anytime I tried to eat or drink from the severe soreness and pain in my throat. I had a high fever, chills, and green mucus in my nose and running out of my throat from my nose.

Even after discontinuing the topical, I was inflamed and infected for over a week more.

I told my dermatologist about this, yet I looked on the sheet about it afterwards and they still only recorded that I got a "sore throat" from it, and that was why I could not use it again. It was a LOT worse than just a sore throat, it was potentially quite dangerous.

I got serum sickness from Clindamycin. I had enormous hives everywhere, along with angioedema, fever, joint pain, and intense itching/burning. I had to take Prednisone for 10 days and, just to add insult to injury, later developed both thrush and a yeast infection.

since I've been taking the medication I've experienced an uncontollable itch that I take benadryl for.

I was prescribed 300 mg 3x day for seven days, because of a dog bit. After an hour of taking the medication I started to have sever adomial pains. After the third day I started to get dizzy spells and was laid up in bed for two days with a extremly bad headache. After the fifth day I ended up in the hospital due to hives from head to toe. This was the only medication I was taking at that time.

I'm a 41 yo woman. I was prescribed 300mg to take 3X per day for 10 days for a bad sinus infection. After the 2nd pill, I experienced a very intense nausea like never before. My mouth tasted like a metal pipe. When I went outside, everything appeared bright/white and I thought I saw white flashes in the sky. Also, my kidneys felt like they would explode. I had also started prednisone that same day. Would you think it was a bad combination or did I have a bad reaction to the Clindamycin? I stopped using it and went on Avelox. After 6 days of that stopped it because I could hardly get off of the bed, my leg became numb and I felt like I had a football helmet on. Was that also because I was on afew days of prednisone?

Skin peeled from hands and feet and groin area - extremely painful and dibilitating. Could have been Stevens-Johnson.
