(Newest replies first)

Updated

I was prescribed this antibiotic after receiving 7 stitches, one was internal. ( I was cutting raw meat) Anyway,two days later I had to return to the ER with severe headache, nausea, fever, chills, sweats, flu like symptoms. After several tests diagnosis...Viral Syndrome. I have been sick for five days. No one else in the family is sick, I looked up the side affects of this medication today, and it had all these symptoms on the list. I have never been so sick in my life.

thanks for your reply. I am agreeing with you on this! I took my last dose more than 24 hours ago, and now have no fever! I am still weak, and have lightheadedness, but feel I am on the mend. I will not take this drug again. Have to get back to work sometime, the bills to the ER are adding up! :)

Sorry about how miserable you are.

Yes, you could be having a hypersensitivity reaction to the Bactrim, I'm not a doctor to say for sure, but if you search this site, you'll read posts from many others that have experienced similar problems.

I have also had it happen, myself. Similar to you, I went to the ER with the symptoms, including painfully swollen glands and they said it was just my body fighting off the infection and to continue the antibiotic and I wish I hadn't listened. Each day, I felt worse and worse, until I finally broke out into hives and a rash all over and my PCP confirmed that I was allergic to the Bactrim.

Learn more Bactrim details here.

Thus, I always try to warn anyone that posts on here with complaints about it to be very careful, since such reactions will usually only get worse, if you continue taking it, or ever take it again. You should make sure that it's listed under your medication allergies, to avoid having it prescribed in the future.

How are you feeling, now?

When I had a problem with it, it took almost a month before all the symptoms cleared up.
