Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi, group, I'm having a lot of pain in my SI joints and sometimes right on my spine. When I saw Dr. Whitman this week he put me on 300mg of clindamycin twice a week, Wed. and Saturday (and 100 mg bid Minocin the other five days). Someone recently wrote saying her sister was taking only Clindamycin. I wondered how much. When I took 300 mg of Clindy twice Wednesday day I felt better than I have in years, and can't wait until tomorrow when I can do it again. But isn't 1200 mg of Clindy the max, and isn't it unusual to be taking Minocin too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 HI , I was on oral clindy as well for a while. Dr Whitman had me take the mino daily...and then every 8 weeks, I took oral Clindy, 150 mg...4x a day for 10 days. Do watch for C. Dif diarrhea though, while on clindy. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Thanks, Debby. I wonder why he didn't have me take it the way you did. I am watching for D. Difficile. L.
