A member asked:
Took clindamycin. finished last week. some foods tastes nasty now like chemicals (ammonia). peanut butter and soda are the only ones so far. normal?

Not unusual: Disturbance in taste is not unusual following a course of antibiotics. This side effect should resolve after a brief period,however. I expect your sense of taste will return to normal in another week or so.
