I really hope that someone can help me. I went to a 24hrs clinic 2 nights ago because I had a bad UTI. The doctor at the clinic prescribed Bactrim. I'm not certain of the actual dose since the bottle was given at the clinic instead of being filled at the pharmacy. But I do know that I was ordered to take only 6 pills altogether, over the course of 3 days. I was okay at first but last night I started to experience some awful withdrawal symptoms. I have trigeminal neuralgia so I also take baclofen which is a muscle relaxer and suboxone which is buprenorphine and naloxone. It seems as though the Bactrim is pushing one or both of my other medications out of my system or stopping the other meds from doing their job. The main symptoms I have been having are not being able to sleep or sit still because of the jittery feeling, shakiness, depression, hot flashes, and anxiety to name a few. I will note that I have not had any changes in the dose of either of my main medications and have had no issues at all until the Bactrim came into play. Is this something that Bactrim is known for? Please help.

What specific muscle relaxant medication?

Many times one is given to treat pain that may be caused by whatever infection that the Bactrim is treating, because swelling and inflammation can make someone miserable.

However, it depends on the specific one, because there are some that can react badly with it.

Can you please post back with more information?
