So I had indications of internal parasites in one of my platies, so I treated the whole tank with parasite clear. After adding the medication according to directions the most of my platies are laboring and swimming at the surface gulping. Should I do a water change or is this common?

If they look in danger I would do a water change immediately...you could try adding an airstone and see if that helps but if not water change to reduce the meds.....good luck.

Check the water parameters. Adding an air stone would be a good idea, I agree. What is the water temp? I've treated many fish with that and never seen any behavior change in the fish.
