I have acne that I would consider in-between mild and severe around the sides of my face, but my cheeks and forhead are pretty clear. My dermatologist prescribed me clindamycin to take twice a day. I'm afraid to take it because of the severe side effects i've read about, like colitis and cysts in the brain. I think it's too strong of a medicine for someone like me whose acne isn't that bad.
Has anyone ever taken it and were you okay with it? Did it cause anything like weight gain or sickness?

Sorry to ask so many questions about it, I'm just really sensitive to most medicines.


Thanks : )
