General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.

Clindamycin can cause diarrhea, but I dont think the drug that you had taken two year back has anything to do with present diarrhea, nor it has anything to sensitize the present drug.
Metformin causes diarrhea, it usually fades away with time and i dont think it requires 4 years.
Your present symptom requires to be evaluated, so i advice to visit doctor for examination.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
I find this answer helpful
