Clindamycin Insomnia (Top voted first)

Can insomnia/trouble sleeping be caused from taking clindamycin (oral capsules 300 mg QID)? It's not like anxiety, more of a too amped up feeling like having too much caffeine only it doesn't subside, it's been 3 days now and I've gotten 3 hours of restless sleep each night, idk if I'll function today as I've gotten mere minutes of "sleep"

Hello, Mogipi! How are you feeling?

Yes, that can be a side effect of some antibiotics, as listed by the FDA, though it should go away once your finish your course of treatment.

Other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
