Bactrim Side Effects (Page 6)

I am curious if anyone else has had any of these side effects from taking bactrim. My mouth is so swollen with blisters all inside my mouth.....now it has started to affect my private area as well with same symptoms. I cant eat and it burns all day long. I only took 4 pills when this started. Please help if you can.

Likely a sulfa allergy; same thing happens to me. Historically, I had never had a problem taking this medication. First time symptoms developed I stayed the course, and in addition to mouth sores, my fingers and hands became arthritic. I have since tried it again, and mouth sores after 3-4 pills. Discontinue, get another rx, and list bactrim as drug allergy

Absolutely -- They should at least post a strong warning. I have Legal Shield and called my law firm and they said I should be able to go after the pharmaceutical company for some compensation.

This happened to me last month when I took the medicine. I had cold sore ulcers so bad in my mouth I could barely talk or eat. I'm taking it again and the same thing has happened. I didn't know this was a side effect!

I had extreme mouth sores after taking this one dose of this med. I went to the doctor and they said I had an allergic reaction and prescribed an epi-pen. They also said this is an old med that doesn't work well and shouldn't be used any more.

Yep, red itching then burning areas in mouth, genitals, and a little on my legs and even a bit on my hands. Terrible. Took one pill and am on day 3 of suffering from this.

I had extremely similar reaction to what I believe to be bactrim. I started on a regular dosage and immediately had excrutiating vaginal burning and itching. I tried sitting in the tub full of hot water, which brought me temporary relief. I sat with a heating pad in between my legs for the entire day. Days upon days. My lips started to crack and become inflamed with sores. Soon after, I developed THRUSH in my mouth. I couldn't eat or drink anything for a week straight, I had to go to the ER and receive liquids and vitamins intravenously. I stopped taking the bactrim and started taking diflusinal? I believe it was for the thrush in my mouth. It took about two full weeks for me to able to eat solid foods again. I never realized it was bactrim until yesterday I had a cyst in my ear and I was told to take bactrim. I took two pills last night and within the first 15 minutes the vaginal itching and burning began, as well as a little bit later my tongue started to feel sore. Is there any way to expedite this healing process? I'm miserable, and I'm a student who is missing a lot of class time. Please help.

I started taking Bactrim a week ago about two-three days after I stared taking it I started itching all over and if I scratch it it would burn like I was on fire I was also having the same symptoms in my vagina I thought I was allergic to the detergent I was using and getting a yeast infection . Now the last two days it has gotten worse I have a rash in and on my vagina and burning sensation in and in my vagina. my period started today and when I inserted a tampon at first I was first I was fine then I had a burning sensation on my private. And my eyes are blood shot and I'm puffy around my eyes do you guys think this is all due to the Bactrim?

So glad to read I am not alone. I had a severe allergic reaction to bactrim after 3 days of taking it for a UTI. I became numb/tingling, shooting back pain, neck soreness, dizzy and blurred vision, rash- so I immediately stopped it. It has been four days since I took it and my vagina became extremely irritated/burning, migraines/dizzy, and extreme back pain still, stomach pain and cramping. I thought I still had the UTI but now it makes sense after reading this forum. I'm hoping someone knows how long these symptoms will take to heal? I'm actually very scared that the effects are so severe days after taking it. I don't want to take ANY antibiotic ever again after this experience!
