Bad Reaction To Sulfamethoxazole

My wife has taken her first dose of sulfamethoxazole and it really has not been meshing well with her body at all. She is going through different phases about every half an hour. First starting off really uncomfortable with scared feelings. mixed with some laughter. She has been having the shakes and I am getting a little worried. She is only 100 pound and is taking the H49 800/160 mg pill. Has anyone had these issues before? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I'm very sorry that's she had such problems.

How is she doing today?

Since it is a sulfa based drug, it can cause very odd side effects in some people and yes, they can include psychological effects.

It most likely means that it just isn't the right medication for her to take and she needs to contact her doctor to see about trying something else.

To be honest, once someone starts having bad reactions to this medication, things usually only get worse from there.

Thank you, she stopped taking it most definitely. She has a bad headache still and its a day and a half later. I appreciate your concern. They gave her a topical cream for her sinus infection, not sure how thats going to work.. And she will start Levaquin once the side effects complete wear off from the Bactrim.
