| 1 | Skin infection | It caused feeling of pounding heart, severe anxiety, brain fog, blurry vision and diahrrea. I stopped taking it after day 3. It's been almost 3 weeks since I stopped taking it and I still have diahrrea from it. Dr tested me once for c diff but it came back neg. she put me in flagyl to kill anything in my stomach that could potentially be making me like this. I'm in day 4 of that and still have diahrrea only in mornings now. Not sure if the antibiotics is working, or if Bactrim messed up my stomach so bad it caused long problems since I don't have my gallbladder. | Worse antibiotics ever. Read a comment that this is banned in UK. Why isn't it banned here in the US? It should be | F | 34 | 3 days 800 2X day | 5/19/2021 | 1 | UTI | Only took this for 2 days and I can't take it anymore. I had excruciating abdominal and back pain, nausea, dizziness, and I can barely get out of bed. | F | 25 | 2 days 2X Day 2X day | 5/18/2021 | 1 | Cellulitis on butt | I can't stand this medicine and the way it makes me feel... I asked my doctor if it causes anxiety and she said no but I come here and read a lot of comments on it and it just so happens that it does!!! Yeah doctors don't know everything. My other symptoms were: brain fog, stomach pain, memory loss, severe anxiety, jitters, pain in my neck/back, headaches ,insomnia, constipation. | The results of this medicine aren't worth it in the end. It just made my cysts a little smaller. But they are still there. Can't believe they are making me take this 4x's a day. I haven't seen or met anyone with the same dosage. I will never take this medicine again especially because my anxiety attacks are almost constant when on it. | F | 25 | 7 days 800/160 4X day | 5/11/2021 | 3 | Prostate Infection | Lethargry, brain fog, weakness, tiredness. | I know I need an antibiotic, but this makes you almost feel as bad as what it is treating. I've been taking twice a day for a 7 days. My prescription is for 14 days. I think I'm going to cut back and take one a day until the prescription is complete. | M | 57 | 7 days 800 /160 2X day | 5/3/2021 | 1 | Skin infection | Dizziness, nausea, vomiting along with dry heaves.

My skin feels raw on my hands. I have brain fog, I'm dizzy, my vision is slightly blurred, I have a tickle in my throat and feel like I have to cough, I am so over this. I have taken this drug in the past with no problems and all of a sudden I have all these side effects. It's ridiculous and now I got these symptoms to deal with on top of all the uti symptoms.

Burning eye irritation. Dysphoria. | And I had to pay for this drug so I would be so sick and require hospitalization causing me thousands for treatment. FDA needs to open their eyes and pull this drug off the market ASAP. I have informed all my family members who will never touch this drug based on my experience. | M | 75 | 15 days 2X day | 4/15/2021 | 1 | UTI/Abcess on buttcheek | So I took Bactrim at night the first time and then again yesterday in the morning by 4pm I started having the most horrible stomach pain in my life it extended to my back. I almost went to the ER but I laid down and it started going away I didnt take the pill at night. My stomach feels sore today so I told my doctor Im not taking Bactrim anymore. I also felt very dizzy all day yesterday. | Dont take Bactrim!!! Its banned in the UK and it's caused deaths in the US. | F | 30 | 1 days 2x a day 2X day | 4/14/2021 | 1 | Infection | It wasn't bad when I first started taking it, a week in and I would get severe stomach pain, nauseas, vomiting up mucous.

I ate almost all day to try to keep the nausea at bay. Night was the worst. I couldn't sleep and woke up several times and had to eat a banana bc I was sick to my stomach Day 4 my nausea seemed to get slightly better Day 2&3 at night I had awful migraines. I thought I might puke bc of them. My teeth were almost numb the pain was so bad (4 out of 5) All of the days thus far after taking the meds I felt like my heart was racing and I had tremendous anxiety. I am generally an anxious person though. At night I took a Xanax to stave off the anxiety and sleep. My pulse odometer says 75-80 while I'm laying down so I guess it just feels like my heart it racing. Anyways I was so bad the night of day 3 crying bc of the anxiety and so sick to my stomach my husband called off the next day thinking I would have to go to the Er I also have vaginal burning only slightly but it's there. | I would never ever take bactrim again.
