Muscle Cramps
I also had been prescribed Triamterene for water retention.
In the past, I had leg cramps associated after taking these pills for some time. Come to find out, it was because the medicine was taking potassium out of my body. My doctor increased my dosage of potassium, I am feeling great now. The problem never came back.
Hope this helps!

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.

Digested blood
If anyone ever has a black stool or has black in their stools, or vomits red or something that resembles coffee grounds... please, have another person take you to the ER immediately. If there is no one that can drive for you, call 911 ... Because, a black stool or black in your stool can be digested blood, and vomit that looks like coffee grounds is old blood that came from your stomach. It happened to me from taking penicillin and clindamycin together, and I was told that I could have bleed to death from it :shock:. So please take this and your tummy seriously.
