Does Taking Clindamycin HCL Cause Diarrhea?

I m not sure if I have ever been on this antibiotic before Doc started me on Clindamyin HCL 300 mc capsule 4 times a day for 7 days with food for my Sinuses.. I cant tolerate antibiotic some of them give me upset stomach .He told me I can reduce to 3 times a day if that happens.. I read somewhere that it may help to have yogart.. It also freaks me out when I hear that one of the side affects is diarrhea if that happens should I take somethink over the counter?. ..I just started earily this afternoon have had 2 doses 7 hours apart and I m seriously thinking of just keeping 3 doses for the seven days . Can it also work this fast I think I m feeling better . I have anxiety I have been on Bupropion HCL XL 300 for 5 years and I do take a .5 OF Xanax as well at times to sleep. Thank u if can help me out id be so thankful Doctor

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your function, if this is the antibiotic induced diarrhea then it is nothing to worry because it is the most common phenomenon seen in almost all the antibiotic, once the course of antibiotic overs then diarrhea will be alright, some time such condition can be managed with lyophilized Lacto-Bacillus or spore of it, care need to be taken for dehydration else it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
