I'm glad to hear all the side affects I"m having from this medication sound normal. I've been on the drug for 9 days now and I'm looking forward to finally being finished with it. My skin feels like it is burning and I'm nauseous all the time. Most days I get a terrible headache and really stiff neck. It seems to have done it's job for the UTI though. Just wish it didn't make me so miserable.

I think that's an allergic reaction. I don't think your face should get swollen.

My doc prescribed Sulfameth for a UTI. Ever since I started taking it I am experiancing a lot of clear watery leakage. I don't know if it's urine or what it is. I feel nothing and it just happens. It seems like it happens after I take the pills. It did not happen until after I took the first pill. I have not took any today and the leaking is alot less than it has been. Are the pills causing this?

No it will get progressively worse. I would ask the doc. to change it there are other drugs that are just as effective.

I have a UTI that my doctor perscribed 2 pills a day for 3 days. I finished the medication on Thursday and here it is Monday and I still have the same symptoms. Nothing has changed. I've taken a whole box of the medicine you buy over the counter but it says to not take for more than 3 days. I'm miserable.

I've been on Sulfa/Trim 800/160 and I'm wondering if anyone has had sore jaws??? When I try to chew, each of my jaws have a dull pain and it takes about one minute to calm down then I can take another bite. Any one else have this problem? So it's just easier not to eat anything I have to chew.

Glad I found this page, now I know what's going on.
Taking Sulfameth/Trimethoprim 800/160 for an infection that developed two weeks after ankle surgery, my incision site decided to start swelling and weeping Serosanguineous fluid.

I have been taking this drug for seven days and over the last four the side effects are unpleasant. It is causing horrible sleepless nights where I am so tired that I "pass out" (not sleep) for no more than an hour and a half and wake up burning with fever. During the day it's like you battery gets pulled and you have to fall asleep for about an hour and wake burning with fever. Sitting here writing this reply my upper chest, neck and face are burning up. I suspected it was this antibotic, now I know it is from reading about those of you that are having the same problems and I'm not dying from the hardware in my leg rusting out and poisioning me. Ha

I went in for a medical checkup and had a PSA test. After getting the results the Dr. prescribed sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/160 due to the PSA test being elevated. He did a physical exam of the prostate and said it felt fine. How does this medicine help lower the PSA? I am confused. Thanks for anyones ideas,,,,

I don't think it will make a deference as the side effects appear to be cumulative the longer you use it the worse it gets. I changed my time of taking it with no effect.

I'm curious about the sleeplessness at night. I have no other side effects, thankfully, but I have 3 days to go and wonder if I should change the time of my second dose.

I'm just saying that if a doctor prescribes a specific dosage of an antibiotic.. take it as directed because cutting the pill in half (or taking a lesser dose) can be very counterproductive.. and is one of the things that causes bacteria to gain resistance.

I've been taking sulfameth/trimethoprim 800 for about 90-100 days now. I've been on it for acne. Does anybody know if this is too long or if there is in fact a limit that it too long? I have had headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of appetite, and my whole body gets hot for no reason sometimes. Any info would help, thanks.

Actually doctors do go to Merck medical site for prescribing a lot of med's unless there very familiar with the drug there prescribing, according to the American medical Association it is almost impossible to keep up with all the new med's out there.Except for time release pills cutting a pill in half so you can take 1 1/2 pills a day is quiet common the next time you go to a drug store check out the pill splitters that they have for sale. and if you look on some pills they have a score line in the middle to help in cutting them in half. Unfortunately the drug company's don't make every size dose. It is cheaper for them to just make the score line in the middle. But this is getting off the subject. A bad drug is a bad drug if the side effects are worse and make you sick call the doctor and have him change it. I still wont touch it again there are a lot of others they can prescribe
