Answers:
Tell your doctor about it and stop the Clindamycin!.
You don't mention why you were put on it in the first place, but it isn't a first line antibiotic because of that very risk!.
PC can be a very debilitating problem, though if you are young and otherwise healthy you should make an uneventful recovery!.
It can be quite serious in the frail elderly!.
