Everytime I hear a new reply or addition to this medicine it makes me so mad at the people that make this crap and give it to people. I still after a year and 5 month have some lingering side effects. Still twitching in my face and chin. And I don't think my head will ever be the same. I know I only took 4 days of two pills a day and ended up with so many side effects it wasn't even funny and I have not a reservation that if I would have continued I would be dead today or so messed up that I would wish it on myself. I think it messes with your brain so much that you could hurt someone and not mean to. Crash your car cause you don't know what the heck you are doing. Have permanent nerological damage I mean it's endless. I do hope someday that there is a class action on this drug and they pull it all together. There is a write up in a UK paper about it being the silent killer. Good read look for Brian Deer for a good read. I will pray for all who are suffering for a recovery of any kind.

This is from an RN. If ANYONE has any of the following signs or symptoms, call your doctor or nurse practitioner immediately and tell them exactly what you are experiencing.
RASHES / THROAT TIGHTENING-SWELLING / ITCHING / EXTREMELY HEIGHTENED PAIN SENSATIONS [as in] BACKACHE-HEADACHE-LEG PAIN / NAUSEA - VOMITING / SKIN BLISTERING OR BRIGHT RED SPLOTCHES / EXTREME HOT- COLD SENSATIONS / HALLUCINATIONS / NIGHTMARES / SHAKINESS / NUMBNESS / PARALYSIS / TREMORS / TWITCHINESS / CONFUSION / ZERO SLEEP / WEIRD SENSORY PERCEPTIONS [ as in feeling extremely tall or the floor has waves like the ocean] RAGING HEARTBURN to name only some of the nasty side affects which can happen.
SULFA [the main ingredient in SMZ-TMP DS] is a strong and NASTY antibiotic. It is one of the oldest in use still yet; has been improved upon but still can cause lots of bad side affects, rashes and throat swelling being some of the worst. I cannot stress enough: if you have any bad side affects, DON'T mess around trying to figure out on your own what to do... CALL YOUR DOCTOR AND STOP TAKING THE DRUG.
Oh, and by the way, DON'T take ANY alcohol when taking ANY medication. You could inadvertently kill yourself.

My 3rd post. Finished the 10 days, but wound up, midpoint, with a LOT of side effects: loss of appetite, clammy cold sweats, achy joints, and an itchy, burning body rash. Doctor said I had a severe sulfa reaction and put me on prednisone. Never again!

Prescribed this "horse pill" yesterday afternoon for an infected lower right leg, which I banged up on the corner of our dishwasher last Sunday. Taken 2 so far. No noticeable reaction. Rx . . . Take 1 tab twice a day for 10 days. So far, so good. I'm 74.

I was prescribed SULFAMETHOXAZOLE-TMP D after being diagnosed with UTI. After 14 pills I still couldn't pee without a tremendous amount of straining, and then only drops -- no flow. In desperation, as the clinic was closed for the weekend, I bought an over-the-counter product called AZO. I began peeing for the first time in a week after a couple of pills. What a relief!

OMG yes if you have an alergic reaction to this it can be extreme. Took me 8 months to recover from taking 4 days worth. Had right side peralisis, facial tremmers and was sent to the hospital for an MRI in fear of me having a seigure or a stroke. This medicine is nothing to mess around with. If you have a reaction from day one stop taking it. I also got such a bad case of candida that I still fight with it and it's been a year now. I am lucky it did not kill me.

Taken it 3 days now for inner ear and sinus infection. Had a slight stomach upset after the first dose. But have had no problems since then and can tell the ear infection is getting better already. Possible side effects mean possible, wont happen to everyone.

My doctor prescribed this medicine for me to take 1 pill every 12 hours for 11 days. I have to say that this pill works amazing at stopping the infection but just as everyone else says it makes you VERY shaky, even twitchy. I've been nauseous ALL day everyday but I can never vomit and its also been giving me nightmares as well. I'm just glad I only have 9 more days :[

Was prescribed this for a UTI infection. I had no side effects of a bad uti and apparently had food poisoning a day before. It is making me terribly nauseus, shaky, anxious, and hot. I wonder if I need to call the doc to stop taking it or can I stop on my own?
