Clindamycin Reviews

Worked great until I built up a tolerance to it. I now take it only when I have a severe infection. I just had another surgery last week, and last night I had another eruption under my rt. arm. I have constant pain and fevers.

The topical antibiotic worked for me on my legs (perhaps because it could be bandaged and left in place) but doesn't seem to have any impact on flares which occur in my arm-pits. Its not a hard medicine to use and I haven't noticed any side effect other than maybe a little itching. Its inconvenient because it is topical and therefore hard to apply (and let stay) in certain areas.

Seems to only help when not in a full blown episode

If that is phentermine then it helps a little. I can't sleep very well when on it. Makes me lethargic and yet I still wanna eat. So, it's a little confusing.
