New Antibiotic for my daughter to start - Any one have any feedback on it? Has it been successful at all?
Posted by Sammi (Member # 110) on :
I have been taking Clindamycin (and other things) to treat Babs. It has been one of the best meds for me.
I believe it is a med than can cause C-diff in some cases, so be sure your daughter takes plenty of high-quality probiotics to counter this. I use prescription VSL #3 Double-Strength and Nystatin daily, and I have had no problems.
I hope this med helps your daughter!

YES. Be sure to take the suggestions that Sammi gave you.
I took clindamycin/quinine for babesia. It kicked my butt!
Also... make sure she does not eat sugar or simple carbs while taking clindy.

I took it for 60 days only 250 mg once daily and never had any issues.
I did take Florastor twice daily along w/ a 50 billion count probiotic as well.

Clindamycin 150mg 1-2x/day is the abx I use to stop fibromyalgia pain and reduce joint swelling - it works beautifully for me, and I have never gotten C diff. I have a 1981 West coast Lyme strain.

I've been on it since Thursday and feel really good. I start the quinine tonight --- nervous about it, only because I've not felt this good in a long time and I'm hoping quinine doesn't mess that up. Posted by lauriemay1 (Member # 24153) on :
So I'm reading these post with the mg that everyone is taking. My daughter is only 98 pounds and is taking (2) 300 mg pills twice per day. So that's 1200 mgs per day. Is this too much!!!! Seems like a lot!

My LLMD wanted me on 1,800 mg daily before. 1,200 isn't too bad.

If you have to much magnesium you will have diarrhea.

When I started clinda, I went around the clock, 150mg every six hours, and that worked fine - stopped fibro sx in a week's time. After a month's time, I herxed, and dropped to 150mg 1-2x/day.

google clindamycin adverse events--significant potential for inner-ear damage, i believe.
