I am already taking neurontin, vesicare, oxycodone, xanax, glimepiride,diovan, cardiazem, benedryl, seroquel, lexipro, flexeril, and metforman and a quickie scrip for abscess, I usually take the quickie scrip of bactrim for outbreaks follocliulits. This time, I let it go too long and it turned into a painful abscess. Am I having an allergic reaction to cleocin, or is a physical/drug reaction to it.
