Hello, Madina! I'm sorry about the symptoms you're experiencing.

No, those are really just some of the normal side effects. Since this is an antibiotic, you can't really overdose on it, per se, you would just experience worsening of the side effects.

Have you been taking it a prescribed? If so, then you've likely nothing to worry about, but please check with your doctor, if you're concerned.

This antibiotic so known to be particularly harsh, so some people do experience a lot of side effects from it.

Are there any other questions or concerns?

I have a question. I've been on bactrim DS for 6 days now, and I've felt super drowsy, mentally depressed, not hungry, and tired. Are these signs of overdose?

Hello, Suga! How are you?

No, Bactrim is another antibiotic, so it can actually cause a yeast infection as a side effect. The FDA lists its other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

To clear up a yeast infection, you need an antifungal medication. There are several available over the counter, but if you've never had one before, you should see your doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment protocol.

Is there anything else I can help with?
