BACTRIM  (SULFAMETHOXAZOLE; TRIMETHOPRIM):  This medication is a combination of two antibiotics: sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. It is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections (such as middle ear, urine, respiratory, and intestinal infections). It is also used to prevent and treat a certain type of pneumonia (pneumocystis-type). This medication should not be used in children less than 2 months of age due to the risk of serious side effects. This medication treats only certain types of infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  UTI This makes me SO nauseous I can barely function. It tears up my stomach. Stomach full of gas, no appetite, and constipated. It cleared up my UTI after one dose, but it did all of those things and my anxiety medicine didn’t work while I was taking it so I was having anxiety attacks. F 21 0 days

 5  MRSA induced Pneumonia On day 15 of 30. Been battling a nasty case of pneumonia that I’ve had since August. The med works, but, I have severe lethargy, bad muscle aches/soreness, pain in major joints - particularly shoulders and hips. Itchy back once in a while if I don’t take it exactly 12 hours apart. Instead of diarrhea I’m constipated. It’s a good med with bad side effects for some. I strongly recommend taking a probiotic along with this med - it helps with the GI issue and absolutely positively do not drink alcohol! M 42 15 days

I am constantly nauseous and have been getting extremely bad headaches, bordering migraines. I just don't feel good overall and could not finish my script.

 1  UTI EXTREME nausea, chills, severe stomachaches, dizziness, loss of appetite, anxiety Bactrim wreaked havoc on my digestive system. I have never experienced nausea in the way I did when I was taking it. I actually felt like I was dying for the first few days of it. I was in bed for about four days, unable to eat anything, weak and in so much pain. I tried so many times to make myself throw up, hoping that would make me feel better, but I couldn't. I developed all kinds of long-lasting food neuroses and phobias following this experience. Do not, and I mean DO NOT, take this drug. I tried to reach out to the urgent care that prescribed me this to figure out why they thought it would work well for me, and it turns out they never actually ran a culture on my urine, and just hastily prescribed it. F 20 7 days
