I have taken Bactrim, the brand name for what you are all talking about and developed an allergy. The very last time I took it, about 10 years ago, I got jittery, spacey, and developed intense body itching! Might check with doc to see if you are developing an allergy to it. Allergies/reactions occur in different ways to different people. Now I am limited even more in what antibiotics I can take as I am allergic to Levaquin and Penicillins as well!

I was proscribed this for a UTI. Within 2 hours of taking it I had the worst migraine of my life. I wanted to kill myself. I took a second dose and began vomiting so I went to the hospital. I also had a neck ache. They refused to believe it was related to this drug and wanted to do a spinal tap even though I had no fever! I refused and they gave me some other medications for both the UTI [which is now gone] and the nausea and migraine. I was diagnosed with intractable migraine. Nobody will believe it was this drug. Going on day 4 now and am still suffering. I only took 2 doses the first day!

Just wanted to add that I was drinking a ton of water to help flush out the UTI and also ate with both pills. Drs at hospital said headache and nausea are rare side effects of this drug. After reading this I'm not convinced and I glad I held my ground and didn't let them do a spinal tap. Do NOT take this drug if you can help it! Spent 2 days in hospital and have now missed 7 days of work!

I am having terrible heartburn and stomach pain from this drug. Prescribed for a bladder infection. Why do doctors prescribe this if it has so many side effects?

I started taking sulfamethoxazole-TMP DS 4 days ago. Take with food and drinking an excessive about of water. Have mild headache, tired, weird dreams, extreme hot spells with EXTREME sweating. Head sweats so bad it drips off me and looks like I've just washed my hair even when I haven't. Also having chills when not having hot spells.

I was prescribed the same medicine as the rest of you. I'm still taking the med bc i had a abscess on my left thigh and it had to be cut open. I thought something was wrong with me but since taking it. I've had a loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, crazy nightmares, i feel tired all the time, diarrhea, stomach and lower back pain and headaches etc. I've experienced almost all the side effects thank god i only have one pill left. All of you made me feel better by seeing that you all had the same symptoms.

I had a staph infection on my leg. On the 6th day in the evening is when i began experiencing side effects. Thought i was getting a stomach bug until i realized the next day when i googld and found this site. Felt nauscious but no urge to puke. Hard to focus, hurts my eyes. Headache. Decreased energy. Dizzy at times. World feels like it is moving sometimes lol. Cant believe docs can prescribe this stuff, it should be banned. Im never taking this stuff ever again. I had a staph infection about 3 years ago, at that time they prescribed me two 10-day scripts, forget what that antibiotic was but it worked back then. I swear theres an avenda to poison us for real

Taking this now. Have a really bad infection but this targets specifically the type of inflammation I have. I lost appetite almost completely, but is is a small price to pay vs the other med I had that had me nauseous all the time and was not working.
Interesting side effect is that food with any smell or if not bland turns me off to such a degree that I gag. Bland is perfect though.
Very grateful for this med, I am getting better

I was given a 10 day dose of the sulfamethoxazole - TMP for an infection and on the 4th day I can't stop peeing. No other side affects accept that I am urinating constantly.

It is the sulfamethoxazole-tmp! I'm 50 and have been prescribed this various times and each time I get a migraine headache within 20 minutes of taking it. Most doctors just don't care enough to ask if you have had side effects in the past and many don't tell you what they are prescribing - - it is up to us to keep a ledger of what drugs work and don't work and/or have side effects. Remember that doctors are like plumbers.....some are good and some are NOT!

I was given Sulfamethoxazole-tmp (2x a day) for a UTI. I was also prescribed phenazopyridine (3x a day) for pain relief. I took my first dose of each the night I got the medicine and woke up the next day feeling super nauseated with an intense headache. I was unable to go to work. That passed after about 3 hours. It was then time to take the next dose of the phenazopyridine, and I notice when I took it, I again felt sick and had a severe headache. Since that medicine was making me feel worse I stopped taking it (it was only for pain relief). I took my second antibiotic of the day and only felt a little nauseated that night. I woke up with a headache and felt sick. I took some regular headache medicine, and it got better. I haven't had an appetite all day but forced myself to eat. I read somewhere that milk can help antibiotics not make you sick so I have been drinking milk and water when I take my antibiotic. After taking my second dose for the day tonight, I am feeling okay. However, I have been having hot and cold flashes, and now I have neck pain (which could be from sleeping weirdly). I've also been somewhat constipated. I will admit I have not drank enough water and increased my water intake today. I've been taking it for 2.5 days. After reading these posts this stuff seems scary. I don't know if my body is still flushing out the phenazopyridine that gave me such bad side effects or if it's also the antibiotic (or both). If I feel bad tomorrow I'm calling the doctor. No need to suffer! Also my skin is really dry on my face (that could be from some sun I got over the weekend though). Good luck to all! Call your doctor if something doesn't feel right, and I'll take my own advice!

This is the second time I take this medication for a UTI, the first time around my legs became so swollen and I had migraines and really bad body pain. I suspected the medication or my tough workouts that week. Here I am a month later with another UTI and again I'm taking the same medication and this time I end up with a fever of 103.2 F, swollen legs, and neck and body pain so intense that it's difficult to sleep or walk. It's only been three days but I'm gonna stop and call the Dr. Horrible side effects!
