Highlights: had an abscessed molar so dentist recommended extraction and put me on Amoxicillin at first; tooth was close to the root so I had to go to a Periodontist who put me on Clindamycin instead at 300 mg, 4x a day, a stronger antibiotic. Side effects: diarrhea, high anxiety, insomnia, shaky hands, feelings of despair, tension in neck and head area. Tooth was extracted four days later by an Oral Surgeon. I'm now on a different antibiotic to prevent bacteria growth - Augentin. Whew! I do not drink, smoke, do drugs so these medicines are wreaking havoc on my body, I'm sure. I'm still have anxiety and tension as well as (excuse me) loose stools. Any recommendation, suggestions PLEASE!

Make sure you eat lots of yogurt, water. Bananas for diarrhea and apple sauce no sugar.
