Not sure: It doesn't sound like something that is normally associated with clindamycin or stopping it, for that matter. Are you sure you're not just getting sick or something? Sometimes illnesses can change your perception of tastes and smells. I hope this helps!

Some antibiotics: can temporarily alter the sense of SMELL which is ESSENTIAL for perception of TASTE! Hopefully this will be TEMPORARY. If this lasts for another WEEK ask your Primary Care Provider for a referral to a Board Certified NEUROLOGIST! Hope this helps! Good Luck! BE WELL Dr Z
