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 have joint pain in all my joints and my eye feels like it's irritated. I itched like crazy the first day. Today is day 6 and I feel like I have some horrible flu, but no vomiting.

Swelling of lips, face, and hands. | Taking Benadryl, which works quickly. However, bactrim stays in your system for a few days and allergic reactions reoccer. Still on Benadryl. | M | 68 | 10 days 30 MG | 5/12/2017 | 1 | UTI | swelling of nasal passages, rash (abdominal rings and blotches), joint swelling (knees, ankles and wrist), really bad headache | F | 58 | 1 days 2 x DS/Day 2X day | 5/10/2017 | 3 | Skin Staph Infection | I felt very fatigued and mild neck pain for a few days then day seven in the morning I woke up with mild rash (burning) on one thigh then throughout the day the rash spread and it went from my neck all the way down to my ankles front and back! 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 also experienced chills before I was treated with the steroids. | Even though my body didn't react well to the medication it did treat the staph infection even though my doctor prescribed it for 10 days but I only took it for 7 days. | F | 29 | 7 days 800/160 2X day | 5/1/2017 | 5 | Uti | Nausea, insomnia, shaking in the hands and fatigue. | It's clearing up my uti with minimal side effects. All antibiotics have nasty side effects so nothing abnormal about bactrim. | 10 days 2X day | 4/8/2017 | 1 | For skin infection | Severe blistering rash. Swollen face and throat | Happened almost when done done. Huge blisters on hands and inner thighs. Horrible recovering | F | 59 | 1 days | 4/7/2017 | 1 | Infection from ingrown hair | The first time I was prescribed my eyes turned extremely red and eye balls swelled. 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 could stand on my feet alone for 3 to 4 days. 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. This drug should be off the market! I took it because I'm allergic to most antibiotics and this one as well. Again do not take this drug EVER! | F | 49 | 6 days | 4/1/2017 | 1 | Uti | Never again!! BLURRED VISION AND HEADACHE. INSOMNIA, SKIN RASH AND MUSCLE SPASMS. | F | 58 | 7 days | 3/31/2017 | 1 | uti | Supposed to take 10 days but I'm not going past 4. Blurred vision, vomit, chills, all day nausea, SEVERE insomnia, brain fog, dizziness. At first I thought I was having pregnancy symptoms as I am expecting, but NO. This medicine gets worse each additional day you take it. Never again. If you do take it, eat something super salt when you hit rock bottom. This medicine screws with your sodium levels. | F | 31 | 10 days 160MG 2X day | 3/27/2017 | 1 | UTI | After taking only one pill I started feeling nauseous and light headed and redness in the face. Also an urge to have a bowel movement. | Will never take it again! Second day in and still feeling side effects. | F | 71 | 1 days | 3/25/2017 | 1 | Uti | Extreme nausea,massive migraine,insomnia,confusion,muscle aches | I seriously thought that I was dying. I started to go to the ER, but was able to make it through with migraine medicine. Never again will I take BactrimDS! | F | 51 | 2 days Ds 2X day | 3/22/2017 | 1 | Epididymitis | Brain fog, headache, lower back pain in kidney area | I reluctantly resumed taking this anitibiotic, Bactrim DS (generic form), after I started to experience lower back pain after the first dose, because I didn't want to risk complications from untreated epididymitis (unproven that it was bacterial). The urologist who prescribed it convinced me to continue taking it for that reason and pooh-poohed the connection between kidney problems and the drug (obviously uninformed). The second pill that I took on the second day of treatment caused immediate brain fog and a very intense headache that lasted through the night. I am afraid to continue taking this antibiotic especially given that there's no proof that my epididymitis was caused by an infection. Just hope that I did not cause permanent neurological issues taking this drug. Ironically, the pain and inflammation in the affected testicle was reduced after I'd taken it but the positive anti-inflammatory effect is not worth risking long-term kidney or brain damage in my opinion. Will be reporting the adverse effects to the prescribing doctor's partner on call. | M | 61 | 2 days 800-160 mg 2X day | 3/18/2017 | 5 | UTI | No side effects! Great antibiotic! Felt better within 24 hrs of taking medication. | I feel very badly for the people who have suffered with this drug. However, I have been on antibiotics that I felt awful on and hated taking. I always make sure I drink lots of water. I drink 60oz of water a day anyway so having to drink a lot of water with this is nothing new for me. I also only take after a meal. This is probably one of the best antibiotics I have ever used. Even plain old Amoxicillin gives me side effects. This stuff. NONE! So thankful for this. | F | 35 | 3 days 800mg 2xda | 3/14/2017 |
