I took 1.... yes 1! I had no pain w/ my uti but I sure did after taking the 1 pill. Its HUGE 20 min later I thought I took 50 asprin. My stomach was rolling I was shaking, sweating and felt sick to my stomach, dizzy and SCARED! 20 min into it I took an advil. My lower back and lower stomach area hurt terribly. Felt like labor pains! Advil kicked in and an hr & 1/2 later I felt almost normal!! No pain in the morning urinating! Called dr said Just discontinue, your done ???? What the heck was that? Wow. I guess I'm cured?

taking it for a bladder infection.

i was given enough for 5 days

the doctor who prescribed it said it is meant to target ecoli, which is most often the cause of UTI's/bladder infection.

it's day 4 and i still have UTI-like symptoms (i.e. still need to pee a lot and slight burning)

side effects i felt were an upset stomach, bad headaches, and some lower back pain

This is my second day taking it and I was prescribed to take it twice a day for 7 days. The doctor really doesn't know what is wrong with me, she gave me this medicine on a hunch of what I may have: a kidney infection. I have had more lower back and lower abdominal than before I started taking the medication. When I started to take a z-pack for a sinus infection, I began to shake, feel nauseous, and have extremely rapid heart beat with a slight rash. I don't know what these doctors are thinking and I have no idea what's happening to my body. HELP. Ugh. This is horrible.

I have taken Sulfamethoxazole Tmp SS Tabitp for acne for over a year now and have had no adverse side affects. It has done wonders for my acne and has brought it down to only a few bumps here and there; mostly when I skip a pill on accident.

I am also taking this medication for staph. On day 2, I began having vivid nightmares, confusion, inability to focus. Now, on day 5, I have started having hallucinations. It is working for the staph, however. Guess I will see what happens.

I started taken sulfamethoxazole-tmp ds tabitp for about 20 days for acne, but on the 20th day when i woke up I had a rash that spread over 70% of my body in one hour. I now take prednisone 20mgs to clear the rash caused by the sulfamethoxazole. I can't even shower without my skin burning, and swelling ihope this goes away soon. I wonder how this accured?

To the person who developed a rash - you are allergic to sulfa drugs. Same thing happened to me many years ago.

I started taking this yesterday for a sinus infection. Today, when I'm standing, there is horrible pain in my calves, unless I move my weight from one foot to the other, providing a little relief. It's scary!

Hi, My daughter had a confirmed Strep A, her throat is fine now but she still has a non chesty cough and runny nose. Dr prescribed her Co-trimoxazole (Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim) in case she develops pneumonia. I am so worried after reading the side effects. 5 or 6 years ago she had utrica after taking Flucloxacillin and since then she has not been prescribed any penicillin. She had 2 throat and chest infections in the past month and was prescribed Clarythromycin, therefore they are giving her something stronger. Her cough is nearly going away and I am in two minds about her taking Co-trimoxazole. Could you advise please?

Hey. I know is a old post. But just want to say I relay to ur story. I feel the same way when I took sulfamethoxazole tmp I was fine went to the doc. Did a u.a. came back infection which I was suprised. Took the first pill in the night n 1hr later felt a sinus headache n very crampy. Couldn't sleep. Next morning took it again n I felt the strong headache n I felt like I was catching a flu I looked sick. Went to the doc I told her my symptoms. She said it couldn't be from the pill. She said to go to the hospital if I kept feeling like this. she saidni might had a infection in my brain. Idk. So I decided to stop taking the pill just to make sure is not the pill causing it. So I miss a dose. Next morning woke up feeling a bit better headache almost gone. I still feel a bit weird.. but much much better I soon as I stopped taking it.. so yea I believe this pills are bad..

Oh I forgot to mention, this drug also made me very nauseated, and felt like throwing up. I lost a lot of weight and couldn't eat. Before it happened I weighed 135lbs and at the end weighed 115lbs.

Don't Take this Drug! I was prescribed Sulfamethoxazole in 2004 for a bladder infection and had taken the full prescription. The reactions started with a terrible head ache that burned at the top of my head and radiated down the back of my neck. And then I had gotten a rash in big blotches all over my body that were hot to the touch.
Later after I stopped taking it I had gotten arthritis in hands and feet. My body ached all over. Could hardly move my body. Then I developed bell palsy on my face. first on the right side then went away then it went to the left. It was horrible. I had gotten so sick I thought I was going to die in my sleep. I had weak muscles and heart. Before I decided to go to another Dr. I was getting cramps in my muscles in my elbows and twitching in my face and different parts of my body. I went to another Dr. and they said they thought I had Lymes Disease from the symptoms. But it was not Lymes it was the Drug reaction. It took my two years to get this out of my body by detoxing, taking good whole food vitamins, and bathing in the Miracle 2 Soap and using the neutralizer gel. It caused hormonal imbalances and anxiety. So if you get prescribed this medication DO NOT Take it. Ask your Dr. to give you something else. Hope I can help some people out by writing my experience.~ Love and Health to You. ~
