I was prescribed Clindamycin 300mg 4 x day for throat infection and have just had a 48hr period without being able to sleep Aside from no noticeable improvement in my symptoms, I feel terrible. Generally weak and extremely tired.....I can deal with the GI sideffects, but this lack of sleep has me feeling anxious and desperate. Sleeplessness is not listed as sideffect, IT NEEDS TO BE!!! I know my body well and can certainly tell when something is wrong. I consulted with the farmacist, who was quick to dispel my suspicion. The advice nurse I spoke to on the phone looked it up and also pointed out it is not listed as a sideffect. I finally contacted my pcp, as the prescriber was an ER doctor, and was able to see him. I am so glad he has agreed to change my medication to see if my suspicion is correct. I just arrived home and began taking the new medication. I hope I am right........if I am wrong, I do not think I can survive another sleepless day without,at the very least, going insane.......please wish me luck.............
