I've been experiencing bad depersonalization from just applying this stuff twice a day
it didn't affect me for like a month and a half but after so much use it just got to me
i've been freaking out randomly and other times just living life in a calm haze
i've been afraid that it's going to cause my grades to drop and ruin my future career but im hoping this is just paranoia
it clogs your brain like no other and makes you feel high all the time
unless you absolutely need this, don't take it if you are depressed or experience any depersonalization
don't go down this road
it can lead to sever depression

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.

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.
