Sulfamethoxazole Tmp And Ciprofloxacin

Hi, on Saturday I woke up with a fever of 100.6. I decided to go to minute clinic because my primary doctor was not open on the weekend. The nurse practitioner there checked me and told me I have fever and a very small bladder infection. Because it was small, she sent it out to see if it would grow. She prescribed me ciprofloxacin which really messed up my stomach. So I called and she gave me a new prescription which was sulfamethoxazole which also took a toll on my stomach too so I stopped the medication. I have been off it for a day and I'm still having really watery diarrhea. It does not stop since I've taken the first pill of ciprofloxacin. How long does it take until I get back to normal? I have no fever, and the nurse practitioner called back and said I had no bladder infection. So I was on those antibiotics for no reason which really messed me up.

Hello, Samantha! How are you doing? Has there been any improvement, yet?

Diarrhea can be a normal side effect of antibiotics, as listed by the FDA, along with nausea, dizziness, headache and non-allergic skin rash.

It may take a week, or so, before things balance back out and go back to normal. If they don't, then you should consult your doctor.
