Clindamycin severe side effects
I took Clindamycin for an oral abcess, I've been off it for 2 weeks but tomorrow I plan to see my doct because I've had severe abdominal cramps and diarreah for 5 days. Really don't understand why I wasn't warned about this severe side effect on this drug!! This was too strong an antibiotic for an oral abcess! I think Pseudomembranuos Colitis or Clostridium Difficile is the bacteria it causes. Colitis is managable but not curable.

Been on ziprasidone for about 5 months, Here's my insight
To give you a hint on how ****ed up i am, I have Schizophrenia, Insomnia, Anxiety, Mood disorders, Bi-polar in particular, and have had all of these for 15 years untill I snapped and had a breakdown. Then i was sent to the hospital.

While at the psych ward, They put me on 80mg of ziprasidone (Capsule form) twice daily, During the second day while my parents came to visit me and bring me food, I started subconsiously holding my breath. I couldn't breath. About twenty minutes later they injected me with an anti-parkinson drug called Benztropine, This made me stop. They lowered me on the dose to 80mg once a day, on which I couldn't really swallow and had horrible headaches and nosebleeds that didn't stop. Later on, I was prescribed Xanax Xr 2mg, That didn't work. Then the pharmacy couldn't get ahold of it. I was put on regular xanax 1mg four times daily. A week later it increased to 8mg daily (2mg every four hours). Along with the xanax i was prescibed Temazepam 15mg at bedtime, that didn't work. The dose later increased to 30mg at bedtime, the sleeping pills onlt worked for about two months and now my psychiatrist is thinking about what i will be put on next for sleeping. And also I am on 1000mg of Depakote.

The nightmare begins when i wake up.

Clindamycin severe side effects
I was prescribed cleocin-oral 300mg from the dentist when I had my wisdom teeth removed. A couple of weeks later I notice a change in the consistancy of my bowel movements and thought that it was just a phase until one morning I was awaken with severe diarrhea. For three weeks I was back and fourth between going five times a day to not going at all. During this time I'd been to the doctor three times and have even taken a trip to the emergency room. I used to be afraid of needles but I have had so much blood taken from me that it doesn't bother me anymore. I was told that I had developed Cdif and am now on flagyl for a week. The severe cramping caused me to bleed two weeks after my normal cycle. I am lucky that I wasn't pregnant because I don't think that the baby would have made it. Tomarrow I have to see the Radiologist and the Gynocologist to make sure no damage was done. I understand that you take the risk of developing complications from using prescription drugs since they put the warning on the label but I wonder how many people have severe reactions from using this drug. They say that you should talk to your doctor if you have question about taking a drug prior to. But what is left out of the conversation for those of us who are unaware of what is further down the line weeks after taking a certain drug. I don't know if the dose of cleocin that I received was just too strong for me or if my immune system was already impared. I make it a priority to keep up on my visits to the doctor and I do ask questions. But how careful do you need to be? I have done some research on cleocin and am somewhat aware of its other uses. If not taken orally I wonder about its other possible side effects and what they can lead to.

How effective has Glipizide Been For You
Good Evening, About six months ago, I was surprisingly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was originally put on insulin when I was hospitalized. After two months, I was given an oral medication called Glipizide and was even sent home on that medication. I have found the results from this medication far more successful than when I was on an insulin shot. I would enjoy corresponding with others who are on this medication. Did you experience any side effects or how succedssful has it been with you? Thank You-Tony
