I took these pills twice a day for 8 days and quit I was perscribed 14 days. Could not sleep, felt like I had the flu and headakes. After 5 days I got a red rash all over.I called my DR and he said to take benadral for the rash ( I was working in the sun for two days before the rash started) the bottle said to avoid sunlight in small print ( why not an orange sticker with big print)
I have never had a problem a drug till this one.

I have been on this medication and have vomited evening and morning. The muscles in both legs are hurting like leg cramps and they only get better when I am off of them and sitting. I was prescribed this for a bad sinus infection after taking two other antibiotics.

went on this stuff for bad sinus infection. I got worse started passing out, couldn't sleep, dizzy, couldn't eat, panic attacks, swelled head, eyes hurt, bad cramps, leg pain. And after that it never done anything to get rid of the infection. had to use chiften to get rid of it. So this stuff is not as strong as they would lead us to believe.

My husband was prescribed this med after an infection set up from the cochlear implant. Doctor prescribed this medication. He began having fevers, chills and hard sweats. We ended up in the ER and after 24 hours of tests etc they found the medication had destroyed the good bacteria in his body and he ended up with c-diff. Now he is on restriction for a time till he is cleared from that.

He must be tuff if he survived this med. with the operation. The med. alone almost done me in. He must have just started taking it as it sounds like he was in the first stage of the side effects of this med.the next stage he would have been laying on the floor unable to stand up. Glad he got off it in time, but it will take a few day's before he get over the side affects. This is some bad stuff.

I took this medication for a UTI and ended up with a swollen face and lips from a severe allergic reaction. Now I have raw skin inside of my mouth that is very painful, like I drank scalding fluid. This medication is awful.

Okay so this is true for more than just me. I had a uti last year for the first time ever and was prescribed this medicine. A day later I start having the shakes, chills, and my body was very very sore all over. My doctor then sends me to the ER where I was admitted and ended up staying in the hospital for four days and they diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. Then again I'm prescribed this medicine and the same thing happens to me, like right now as I'm typing. Come to find out it's the damn medicine. The joint pain is unbelieveable and I'm pissed that doctoirs would just decide I had fibromyalgia without first taking into consideration the side effects of the medicine THEY gave me.

I've just finished taking Trimethoprim. I also got hot flushes. Also dizziness and the shakes. But the hot flushes where terrible. I had to have a fan in my bedroom to keep me cool, and its winter time!!!

This medication gives me frequent and sever headaches. Some days I go without and the headache pops up out of no where then I'm down for the count. Can't stand sunlight or brightness peaking through the curtains. I take 1 pill every 12 hrs. Sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/160mg

The Dr in ER prescribed Sulfameth/Trimethoprim 800mg and I just noticed that I am to take two tablets at a time, twice a day. Is this too much?

uhh i'm pretty sure 2 twice a day with 800 mg is too much! on my bottle it says take one tablet twice daily for 10 days i'd advise you to do so or just check with your doctor.

i'm suffering from the worst headache and it kept me from sleeping all night, advil took the edge off but it's still lingering. i have no idea what it is, maybe this medicine but..not suuure..

Brandi, I'd let your doctor know about the side effects which you are reporting. Difficulty breathing is listed as one of the less common and more serious side effects, and it sounds like you are experiencing this on a minor scale. Regardless, if the wet cough worsens and you still can't breathe out of your nose I don't think you'll be very happy. I hope this helps, and wish you the best !

Hi Megan, it sounds like you're experiencing one of the more common side effects. I would suggest letting the doctor know and perhaps there is an alternative medication they could prescribe you?

Hi Erin - Vomiting is indeed a possible side effect of this medication. I would let your doctor know to see if you can be prescribed an alternative.

I've been getting fevers & chills, sleeping tons of hours/tiredness, nausea, vomiting, dizzy, weakness, no appetite, red rash on my skin. This morning my upper eye lids look puffy. I'm going to discontinue use, but I'm out of town right now and won't be back to see the doc for 2 more days. Any idea when the side effects will abate? And how serious is my problem since I have so many of the side effects?
