Probably not...: The depicted scenario led me to assume that you're just recently after teeth extraction. So, i would not worry about it and see what may happen 2-3 weeks after discontinuing pain medications; such approach to your condition should take its priority not sex for now. Obsessive concern at this time will bring more mental anguish and go nowhere.

No relation: I have never heard of Clindamycin affecting sex drive and having your wisdom teeth removed should not cause this either. You need to check with your General Medical Doctor or a Urologist to find the cause.

Both: Probably a combination of both meds, anesthesia and healing process. You should return to normal soon. No permanent or long lasting effects.

Very common: It can take 2-3 weeks to fully recover after having your wisdom teeth surgery. It's fairly normal to have lower sex drive after the wisdom teeth removal. The pain, soreness, pain medication, etc. all take a toll on your body. My suggestion is to not worry about it too much.

Could be both: Surgery in general can cause your sex drive to decrease as can any pain medication you may also be taking. If your surgeon put you on steroids this could also have an effect. Dont worry once all is healed and you are off the meds you should be fine again

Probably meds: If you are on narcotics, it is likely the meds. You are recovering from surgery and your body is very wise -- wants to focus on healing the extraction sites. No fear, the drive will return. Good Luck.
