| 3 | MRSA(staph)Infection | Muscle pain, stomach cramps, swollen tongue, anxiety, feel like I was hit in the head with a brick, dizziness like living outside your body, nausea, tiredness. Feelings like you would rather be dead than taking it. | Cured the staph, but after you finish taking it the after effects are worse than the side effects. I think it's altered my brain and vision! Feel worse off it than when I took it. An awful, awful drug, but it did help the infection, just not sure if I could go through taking it again but sometimes there is nothing else. | M | 65 | 10 days 800/160 2X day | 8/15/2017 | 1 | Wound infection on shoulder | Swollen puffy bloodshot eyes, felt like I'd been hit by a truck, aches, pains, joints, headeaches, neck pain, sharp strong pins n needles in fingers/hands, fever, fine pinpoint red itchy rash developed over feet & grew up legs, nausea, disorientation, couldn't move out of bed, shivers, fatigue, lethargy, foggy, dizziness, inflamed, sore throat, no improvement in wound or after 3.5 days. symptoms progressively worsening. I assumed I'd just contracted the Flu, but this was not the case. | I would not advise this drug for anyone. These reactions are all side effects, we cant choose only the effects we want!! this is not just an allergic response by some. I felt like I had come off some hallucinogenic drug once I decided to stop taking it myself. Apparently it will now take many days to remove and the damage left behind may be months and months of rehabilitation, thanks so much, needed that. Also I'm aware that it is almost banned in the UK. | F | 52 | 3.5 days strong 2X day | 8/7/2017 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Sensitive, Itchy, Swolen, Painful Rash On Stomach, Hands, Feet, Underarm And Lip. Rash All Over Bottom And Blisters And Rash On Vagina. | I only took 2 pills. After taking them the first day after a hour or so my vagina was swollen and itchy. I thought it was just a yeast infection because I get them every time I take antibiotics but then the rash started showing up and my lips became swollen and itchy and it became painful. I'm allergic to septra which has sulpha in it and they gave me Bactria which has the same ingredients and I didn't know that. Now I have blisters all over my vaginal area and can barley walk and every time I use the bathroom it brings me to tears. DONT EVER TAKE THIS. THE SIDE EFFECTS AND ALLERGI REACTIONS ARE FAR MORE PAINFUL THAT WHAT YOU HAVE TO BEGIN WITH TO GET THIS MEDICAN PERSCRIBED!!! | F | 22 | 2 times | 8/4/2017 | 1 | UTI/Kidney infection | Mood changes,foggy,constipation,woke up with a headache in the middle of the night, insomnia, and today I have joint pain in my knees, toes and elbow.

Sore throat. Back and chest pain. Brain fog. Nausea. Dizziness. | All this after just one dose! Apparently I am allergic, like so many others, to sulfa based drugs. I wound up in the ER having to get a high dosage of steroids and Benadryl along with a 3 day prescription to counteract the reaction. I'm just now starting to feel alive again. | M | 43 | 1 days | 7/17/2017 | 1 | Infected bug bite | Its over 90 degrees and I can't get warm, then I'm burning up.

I took benadryl 2 tablets 2-3 times daily for three days along with Benadryl cream since I was out of town and couldn't get into see a doc. Barely did anything for the symptoms. I ended up getting steroids for four days after able to see the doc. I didn't even noticed until the steroids kick in that I also had joint pain and swelling of skin throughout the rash area.

I thought it was something else. Had an infection months after so I was prescribed Bactrim again the blood red eyes and swelling came back plus leg muscle pain.

I told my doctor he said to never take the medication again because with allergies the symptoms get get worst and it will kill you. | F | 31 | 3 days N/a | 4/3/2017 | 1 | Cellulitis | Don't take this drug! Muscle spasms, body aches, body pains, insomnia, chills, fever, nausea total exhaustion and sever internal inflammation! I stopped taking this drug 4 weeks ago and I'm still not feeling well.
