I started Bactrim for a UTI and felt horrible the whole time. Sick to my stomach, trouble breathing, headaches, loss of appetite. Once I asked my husband to call 911 because I almost passed out. But then I said, wait, let me settle down. I did that and continue with the medication thinking it was the UTI. Then I went to urgent care because I was suffering from a yeast infection from the Bactrim too. The 9th day on Bactrim I got worse, I started to break out in hives. By the 10th day I rush to urgent care covered head to toe in hives with trouble breathing and bumps on my tongue and mouth and throat. The doctor said, you're are having an allergic reaction to the Bactrim. He gave me a shot of cortisone and Prednisone l for the inflammation. My stomach is swollen, my body aches, I still have a terrible yeast infection and read that if you have fungal and are taking Prednisone, that's not good either. So I am at odds because my breathing is labored and I am hoping the Prednisone works and I can make it another day or else, I will go to the emergency tonight. This is no fun....I sent this list of complaints to the FDA's attention today. I hope they listen and look at this page seriously and all those who continue to write.

Hey everyone,
I am 27 year old mother of 2 girls 5 and 1. I got Mirena in June of 2007. At first I had no side effects. About 3 months ago, I started having extreme vaginal dryness and itching. I thought it was a yeast infection so I tasted it. Then it came back a month later but worse, so bad my skin in the top fold of my outer labia was cracked. It went away after 5 or 6 days, then came back again. I had my annual pap today and my doc said that it was not related to Mirena and could possibly be herpes!!! I don't have typical sores or blisters, just dry and cracked skin down there??? Has anyone else had these side effects. I have been married for 7 years to the same man. Can anyone help??

Hello everyone. Thank you for sharing your stories. I no longer feel so confused as to what I am experiencing while on Prednisone. I was prescribed this medication for my back (I have a ruptured disc). I am 24 years old. I took a short five day treatment of prednisone about three weeks ago. I was very foggy and forgetful. I was tired and bloated. The worst side effect I have noticed is ACNE! Oh my gosh, I haven't ever experienced a breakout like this before. This breakout is a continuous side effect long after I stopped taking the drug. I went to the doctor again yesterday for a check up on the status of my back injury. He has prescribed a THIRTY day treatment and even more aggressive approach with prednisone!!!! I am so scared to start this treatment because of what I have already experienced. HELP! Does anyone know if the acne will clear up? Will it scar? Does anyone have any tips on this?
Thanks.

Seems like worst medicine I've ever had. I'm 32 years old male . After 3 days of dose of omnicef, I started to have diarrhea. Diarrhea got worsened . And after 5 days of dose, Now I'm having severe rash at my lower body. I researched web and found it is similar to fungal infection like jock itch. I'm medicating myself with clorimazole cream . Todays 6th day and the rash doesn't seem get any better. If someone's without insurance like me, this poor medication means few more hundred bucks to treat the skin problem. I decided to notice doctor of these side effect and will never recommend this medicine to anyone .

I have been prescribed 20 sulfaameth/trimneth for an injury to my hand. On the second day of usage I developed what seemed like jock itch! I got progressively worse and I visited my dermatologist who was baffeled untill I mentioned the sulfameth. He was familliar with the rashes caused by the drug and instructed me to stop taking it, which I already had. Its been two days and it still has yet to subside completely. I also, had a ravenous appitite which has decreased as well, thankfully.

I was prescribed it for a vaginal yeast infection and "jock itch"...I took it the first night - and I woke up with burning and itching where it was relatively mild before. Thinking that it was just an initial reaction, I applied it again in the morning only to have it BURN for the rest of the day! I knew that it would cause that side effect, but not to this extent. I looked again, and my left side of my vulva was red, inflamed and itchy...where only the area near my vaginal opening was irritated before.

I have been io Lisinopril for several months, and the only side effect I can say is a VERY ANNOYING rash on the inside of my upper thighs. It comes and goes and gets worse with warmth, like a heat rash. I also have now developed a rash on my butt that is looks to me like shingles. Very itchy, to the point of bleeding from scratching. I treated with diaper rash ointment and triple antibiotic ointment to not much improvement. Reently tried a jock itch ointment which seems to be working. Also took myself off Lisinopril 2 days ago, and things are getting better, but very slowly........
