REPORT

While taking this drug I suddenly vomited on three separate evenings, I didn't blame the drug as I was on it for not feeling well, BUT as soon as I finished the ten days I started to get achs and pains, would come home after worh and sleep for 6 hours, I would have sweets and chills, I would wake up drenched , then the RASH started, within days my whole body was covered. I went back to the Dr. yesterday, he looked quite concernned and ran all types of blood work, I'm still awaitting the results. He said it most likely is a reaction to this drug. I've nevr had a problem with anything I've ever talen in the past. This has been horriable !!!!!

Sulfameth / Trimethoprim 800mg; I'm have continuous rumbling bumbling in my stomach & lower track along with diarrhea & soft gassy stool. After food intake I feel bloated followed with stomach pains. I’ve reduced my intake to near zero with little help.

Was prescribed Sulfameth/Trimethoprim 800/160 tabs (generic AMNEAL version for Bactrim DS tablets). Took them for 4 days and the diahrea started. Contacted doctor and he said it was O.K. to continue. I did, then after completing the 7th day - - OMG! I began to feel major bloating in my stomach then the vomiting started! I have NEVER vomited so profusely in my entire life! It looked like coffee and I don't drink coffee! I thought I was gonna die! I haven't taken another pill since and a day later I'm still feeling a headache and I ache all over like I have the flu (which I know I don't) I will NEVER take this drug again and I will not finish the last 3 days of it. This drug is TOXIC, TOXIC, TOXIC!!!!! I do not recommend it to anyone! I was prescribed this drug due to swelling I noticed on my neck glands and some sores I noticed under my neck, which the doctor decribed as "staph." Wondering if I should take Benadryl just to get it out of my system.

taking this medication for 3 days now and I'm feeling very bloated, sick to my stocmach, dizzy, and no appetite. I have waken up with a spliting headache for the last couple of days! This is the "generic" form of a antibiotic. Why so many folks having issues with this medication?

I'm on that right now too and I had headaches for the first couple of days. I think that was from the UTI though, not the meds, because I had the headache before I got the antibiotic. Not a scientific response but that's my 2 cents!

I started this medicine, Sulfameth/Trimethoprim 800/160 Tabs, on Friday night because I suffer from sinus infections, what seems like every other week. So, I am supposed to take 2 tablets by mouth, daily, for exactly one month, to try to knock the infection out for good.
At first, things were okay, I started getting little headaches but I blamed the sinus infection. Yesterday, I noticed that I wasn't really hungry and I was a little shakey now and then but I didn't really think twice about it. Last night, I went to bed early and wasn't able to fall asleep. I tossed and turned and sweat profusely and then woke up with a slight headache. I also had weird, probably the most vivid dreams I have had in awhile. I can also feel two bumps on the right and left side of my tongue, underneath it, in the way, way back. After taking my seventh dose this morning, I got the worst headache. (I also suffer from monthly migraines and this headache was right up there with one of them.)
This is only day four and I'm supposed to take it for a month. Should I stop now? After reading people's experiences, I'm really questioning whether or not I should continue. No rash, no fever, no diarrhea, no vomiting (yet); this headache was bad enough and at the moment, I'd rather suffer with a sinus infection than what I had just experienced for the past eight hours.
From past experiences with say, a Z-pack, my sinus infections/pain have gone away after starting it and had never erupted into crippling headaches like today's.
Advice? My next scheduled dose is in 6 hours, should I take it and really see if it's the medicine or stop now? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

well, did you take both those tablets at the same time? or is it spaced out? typicly the regular "dose" is just one pill cause its such a strong antibiotic

I was just prescribed this medication and Im feeling somewhat dizzy and light headed. I take 2 pills twice a day. Not really sure if its helping me though. I think I was bit by a spider and have a huge area on my leg that is infected. And it keeps spreading. the skin in the center is black and really hard. Based on what Im reading, i dont know if I was prescribed the right medication....What do you think

5 days into taking this medication for UTI (800/160) twice daily- I began running a high fever 103+, HORRIBLE chills, and within a few hours I was violently ill, vomiting (stomach acids) every 10 minutes or so all night long. The fever broke the next morning but I'm still not feeling 100%. Is it possible this was a reaction to the drug, or a different thing all together? (like a virus)
