I've been on Sulfameth/Trimethoprim for almost two weeks, I have 3 pills left. I was on the medication for a secondary skin infection, prescribed by my dermatologist. There is some side effects that I am not worried about such as the drowsiness, restless sleeping, for I know they are common. But, I am a few days late for my period, and have lower abdominal pains as well as bloating and sometimes upper abdominal pains and back pains, sometimes after I eat. Could this medication cause me being late for my period? I also have clear discharge sometimes when I use the restroom, which is normal, but it's a little bit more than I'm use to. The last month I just moved in with two new girls in an apartment and my sleep schedule got really messed up, so I understand they could be the cause, but I am getting a little bit worried.

I've been taking the sulfameth for 7 days now for mrsa. i've been have a lot of throat pain, and when I swallow it hurts.i've been sleeping alot, feeling like i have the flu. I took this a month ago twice for mrsa, i'm wondering if its not working or if i should stop taking it because its making me feel worse. i told my doctor last time this happened and he took me off of it and said i would be ok since the infection cleared up. well now the mrsa is back and i'm wondering if sulfameth is not working for me? i'm waiting for the doctors office to call back, but i was wondering if anyone has had mrsa before? and if so what did you take for it?

I started taking the 800mg BID 3 days ago due to an infected hair follicle under my arm. I didn't experience any side effects besides I am not eating as much as I generally do nor am I hungry. However, today I was in class and out of no where I started getting extremely hot. I got home an hour later and was having a sever headache (I never get) and still was experiencing hot flashes. I took a nap because my head to was throbbing even after I took an ibprophen and when I woke up 2hrs later my head still hurt. I took my temperature and it was normal at 98.4. I hope the side effect will subside seeing as I have 4 more days left.

Ive been having whole body aches, chills, night sweats, my lymph node in my neck is swollen and throbbing, i have enlarged lymph nodes in my armpit and behind my ear. I have the headache from hell and i am super tired 24 hrs/day. I called my dr to let them know im having a bad reaction and they told me to make an appointment for tomorrow or the next day. Is it more serious than that? Should i just go to the er? Is there anything that could help me end these symptoms early? I obviously stopped taking the pills but i still feel like crap. I was prescribed sulf/tri 800/160 twice a day for folliculitis.

I had a reaction to Sulfameth that isn't listed on any of the sites: I had been taking it for five days when I experienced difficulty in articulating words, putting complete sentences together, and fine-motor skills such as playing the piano and typing. My lips would twitch uncontrollably when I would talk, and I noticed that they also did when I would be thinking about what to type on the computer! I went off the med and regained most of my abilities within 24 hours. I still have slight stuttering, but it is decreasing. It was like poison to me!!

I have been taking this for 7 days already and just started feeling the itching, which is driving me crazy. I have been getting nausea and had a terrible fever over the weekend. I have been getting headaches too. I went and got some benadryl tonight, I hope it works!

This is the worst medicine I've ever taken and stayed on. My stomach has been upset for 10 days, and I've belched hundreds of times. I felt so bad I had to lie down most of every day. My hands trembled, and my intestines felt like someone had stomped on them. I've had headaches regularly. This is wicked stuff, and I'll NEVER take it again.

I was prescribed this for a infection in my tear duct . The same day I got home and felt like I had the flu or something body aches, tired , headache that wouldn't go away. Try to tell the eye dr. the next day but he didn't want to comment on it as long as the eye infection was going away. Yea, this antibo pill is very weird side effects. I still have constant headache, and now my joints in my elbows and legs are burning if I move them on second day of taking these pills, I think I'll take them one more day and just use the antibiotic eye drops! So, I'm glad I wasn't the only one for the headaches!

I was prescribed Sulf/Trimethoprim 800/160 twice a day for 2 weeks for a UTI and Kidney Infection. The first few days were fine, it was by the 6th day when I woke up feeling like I had a fever coming on along with pains across my whole back, neck, chills and headaches. By the 8th day the lymph node on the left side of my neck was throbbing and swollen to the point where I could not turn my head AT ALL, and was to sensitive to be touched. I then had what felt like a bad fever, my back hurt so much that I didn't know what to do with my self, I had no energy and my head felt like it was in a vice. So I had a feeling it could be the pills so I did an experiment and stopped taking them for 2 days. By the 11th day I felt fine! The following day I took the pill again and Felt the symptoms coming back So I completely stopped taking them. I am never going to take this Medication again. I believe there are plenty of other antibiotics out there, if this was taken off the market I'm sure it would NOt be missed.

My mother is on a ventilator at home. Her doctor has prescribed this medicine sulfameth /tmp ds tab.
I am not sure I want to give this to her. She cannot communicate if she gets a headache also she is on a ventilator. The last thing she needs in my opinion is a medication that makes it difficult for her to breath. It is 800 mg. She only weighs 100 lbs and is suppose to take one tablet twice a day. I think the doctor made a mistake. Is there another drug that it is not so toxic on the organs. Thanks

I was prescribed Sulfameth/Trimethoprim 800/160 tabs to be taken twice a day. After the first dose, I awoke the next morning feeling weak and with my legs aching.
I took the morning dose and the symptoms got worse. After rereading the package insert, I realized that I was experiencing symptoms that required me to call the doctor immediately. While waiting for a reply I got a low grade fever, headache, my knees began intense aching as did my legs. It felt like the flu without the respiratory symptoms. I did not take the evening dose and when the doctor called this morning, I was switched to Nitrofurantoin Mono/Mac 100 mg twice a day. I've just taken the first dose, and the symptoms have not subsided from the first med. Does anyone have any experience with what I was switched to? I am being treated for a bladder infection. Thanks.
