This is day two of low dosage clinda - ten days I go to high dosage (a ramp up).
I'm definitely not happy right now. It's not intolerable but considering the mepron/ketek cocktail felt fine and this is definitely sick-stomach time... I don't like it at all.
So far it's mostly discomfort in my stomach - some pain and tender to touch. As yet no diarrhea but this is definitely affecting my gut - lower and upper. I was uncomfortable sleeping last night (I took it 1.5 hours before going to bed).
I feel a little bit lightheaded and had one short bout with dizziness (but I was in a steep turn in an airplane, which could make you dizzy but never has before). No rash or anything.
I am taking more acidophilus than I was before in the hopes this would help. I don't want to have a stomachache (or worse) like this for several months. How long has anyone reading this, been on this particular medication?
I stopped the mepron cold turkey Tuesday night and went straight to Clinda yesterday. Could this be part of the problem - an adjustment?
argh!!

I had a ton of acidoph yesterday, the liquid kind, and I think you are right, in just one day I have a coated tongue despite all that extra stuff.
however last night I felt like I was gut punched. it was awful. I didn't take my third dose (3x a day, 150 mgs each for ten days then double) because I wanted to get some sleep. I didn't take it this morning either. she may get mad at me but we have to find something better.
the mepron and ketek made me 95% asymptomatic but little bits and pieces keep kicking in. (minor, very minor). but I will say this, I had night sweats last night despite an open window and a sheet only... so maybe it is killing something off after all?
