I had an extraction on an abscess tooth about a week ago. Since I've been on clindamycin I've been sleepy and tired all the time. A little confusion as well, not much, but enough for me to notice. Is it normal for you to feel tired? I feel drowsy all the time since I've been taking it. ## This is a more rare side effect, but yes it does happen. Your body is fighting an infection of sorts. You will be tired. ## Opp is correct, those can be normal side effects of this antibiotic, as reported by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, headache, and diarrhea. It can also be coupled with symptoms of the infection, which will also take awhile to go away. How much longer will you be taking it? Are you on any other medications? Has there been any change?

Began 1st round antibiotic of Amoxicillin which wasn't working. After 3 days, had Dr call in new Rx of Augmentin which wasn't working. After 5 days, went back to urgent care and that's when the Dr. Prescribed 500 mg peach tablet of Levofloxacin taken once a day for 7 days. Started to bring my fever down on day 3 of it and the Dr told me I would have deep muscle pain while on it. Well, on day five I had deep muscle pain in legs and shoulders and arms. I have been off of the Rx for 3 days and I can't lift or move my upper arms without deep achy pain and popping. Getting some numbness and tingling too. Is this a permanent side effect as a result of taking this powerful antibiotic? I feel pain in my hips as well. I'm scared this drug has caused a debilitating result. Any...

Hi. I usually am prescribed Amoxicillin by my dentist (4 tablets of 500mg 1 hour before appointment).

As to that Amoxicillin, I actually can't say whether or not its safe or if that's what it actually is, since you didn't provide any information on them other than what they're said to be. What did you end up doing? Did you take them? Lucy, it really depends on the type and severity of the infection being treated. It can range anywhere from 10 to 14 days and from 2 to 3 times a day. What directions did your doctor provide? This antibiotic may cause side effects, suc...
