Does Clindamycin Cause Severe Upper Abdominal Pain?

I am on clindamycin for the second time now from my dentist because i had to cancel my last apt to extract two teeth so he put me on it again for the infection. I have never had heart burn til now i think thats what it was. The pain woke me up in the middle of the night in severe pain upper stomache but more to the right. This has happened about 4 times now. The last time it happened i almost passed out from pain and the feeling of need to go to the bathroom or throw up. I had my annual GYN apt tuesday and she set up a ultra sound of my gallbladder.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

The most probable cause your stomach upset is either the Clindamycin or the other associated medicines which you have not mentioned about.
The treatment is :
Stop all the medicines at once and visit your Physician to get a stomach-friendly antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine..
Get Ranitidine, Domperidone and antacid gel along with activated charcoal tablets and probiotic to establish normal bacterial flora.
