Hi..did doc suspect C-Diff? If so, let him know right away you've stopped the Flagyl. Stool tests will confirm, and clindamycin is the top "offending antibiotic" for causing C-Diff, which is treated with Flagyl or Vancomycin. The numbness could be a side effect from the Flagyl - nasty med but it is what you need to be taking if in fact C Diff is the culprit. Best of luck to you.
Ladies, tell me the truth is it me or its just this stupid ksjahqbskcidow bacterial vaginosis?!?!? Ugh I've had since I found out I'm pregnant!

Then august 27th, ugh I still have it!! They're making me take the same ****. Sorry im just a lil bit disappointed nor upset. Yup its clindamycin HCl again for seven days twice a day!
The meds you take a safe the docs wouldn't give you something that wouldn't be safe , and I feel your pain I had BV and then right after got a yeast infection then 2 weeks after treating that I got another yeast infection :/ that's when the doctor subscribed something too me for it
Also, the infection has been treated with numerous antibiotics (amoxicillin, flagyl, omnicef, augmentin, clindamycin), and all seem to help at first, but only clindamycin has lasting effects. Not even augmentin worked. Any idea on what kind of bacteria would respond to clindamycin but not augmentin?
I recently had a wisdom tooth extraction and was prescribed Clindamycin to prevent the extraction area from becoming infected. I was prescribed this medication on 5/28/2014. I was directed to take it 3x a day until it was all gone. I took it for about a week straight. I noticed while I was on the medication that I had very severe episodes of diarrhea and stomach cramping. I stopped taking the medication as of yesterday.
I just finished 20 days on flagyl and cipro for colitis and diviticulities....Just a word of advice....be sure to eat when taking medication...The Rx made me so nausous but as soon as i took my last pill I felt so much better the next day...still can't add fiber back to my diet yet but am doing better...I've been sick for almost 4 weeks now.
After my hospital stay, I was sent home with Clindamycin and Ampicillin capsules to take for 5 days. I had diarrhea for 4 days straight and called the Dr. She told me to stop taking the medicines immediately. About 4 days later, I was stricken with severe abdominal cramping, nausea and watery diarrhea. I was rushed to the emergency room and had CT scans, abdominal XRays, and stool samples taken. I was diagnosed with C. diff.
Diagnosis can be confirmed after pelvic examination and microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge. Treatment is by metronidazole((Flagyl, MetroGel) and clindamycin (Cleocin) which are available under prescription. They are available as pills or vaginal gels or creams. Please do not use any vaginal douches.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
The best two antibiotics to use for the types of bacteria that usually cause bacterial vaginosis, are Clindamycin and Flagyl (metronidazole). Sometimes women have allergies to specific medications and we need to use others that are less optimal, but the best results are usually achieved with the proper antibiotics for the condition.
Good luck!

If your taking about bacterial vaginosis (BV) then usually oral medication is metronidazole (Flagyl) or Clindamycin. Vaglinal gels metro-gel, cleocin, clindasee(spelling?
just got over a five month bout with C Diff myself with relapses (clindamycin caused mine too) and your journey sounds alot like mine. Flagyl failed (failures rising per latest studies) and then went to vanco round, followed by a slow vanco taper. The taper seems to have been the magic bullet for my case. Finished taper and felt "C Diffy" for months afterward, doc attributed it to post infection IBS. Finally back to normal here - but it was a long road to healing.

Hi there. Well, there is a gold standard for bacterial vaginosis which is flagyl (brand name) and clindamycin. BV is an anaerobic meaning it grows when air isn't present (think moist, warm areas with no air flow). These are only prescribed by a doctor. Yeast is treated differently and yes, can happen due to antibiotic use. But what can you do? If you need them, you need them. Yeast is itchy and clumpy, BV has a bad odor. Yeast can be treated by a doctor or over the counter.

The problem is mostly BV but there seems to always be some amount of yeast with it. Each time I go to the doctor for treatment and have had flagyl, and Cleocin. After treatment the BV always seems to go away, at least the burning and itching symptoms go away.
Each time I take the doctor's advice to prevent future problems; go pee and wipe immediately after sex, stop shaving (boo to that one!!). But the BV keeps coming back.

Never breast fed and my kids are both school age now. I am allergic to Penicillins, Flagyl, Clindamycin, and Macrobid.
On christmas eve I woke up with both of my breasts swollen by two cup sizes and with a sore redness on the undersides of both. I went to a walk in clinic because my GP was closed for the holiday and they diagnosed bilateral mastitis and prescribed me bactrim.
10 days later I was no better - in fact I was worse. Now I had headaches, body aches, chills, and nausea.
