Hi, welcome to DHCM. I'm Dr. Fahad Khan and i have read your problems and understood them and I'll try my best to be helpful according to my knowledge.
Clindamycin and bactrim (trimethoprim /sulfamethoxazole) have no interactions at all and they should be safe to use together. bactrim interacts adversely with erythromycin and clarithromycin but has no adverse interactions with clindamycin. Hence you can use them together.
hope i was helpful. Thanks
