I started taking Bactrim last Monday evening. When I started to have tightens in the chest and feeling very tired on Thursday evening, I didn't contribute it to the medicine. I went to bed and woke up at 2:30 am because of the chest discomfort. I didn't take my Thursday evening and Friday morning dosages because I felt yucky. By Friday morning, my chest was tight and under my left arm ached. I called my doctor's office and told the receptionist that my chest was hurting and I needed to come in on Monday and that I stopped taking Bactrim. Yes told me that I shouldn't have stopped. So I took another pill on Friday evening. I forgot to take one on Saturday morning because I didn't eat breakfast at home and I didn't take the medicine with me. Started retaking them on Saturday night. Within one to two hours of taking the pill, I started to itch. I still didn't know what was wrong. I finally went to bed and I woke up at 3:30 am itching like crazy. Now I noticed I had red bumps and splotches all over my body (legs, arms, back, stomach, chest, and etc). I have been itching since Saturday night and it is now Monday night. I went to the doctor today and I was told that I should stop taking Bactrim.
I will never take this again.

I have been taking 200 mg of lamictal for about 3 years. I am on no other medication. I too have the dry hacking cough that never ever goes away. All day and all night. Dry hacking cough that sometimes leads to gagging. It is terrible. I have had chest xrays, breathing tests and no one can find a reason for the cough. It started about the same time I started this medication and I believe it is the cause. I also experience pain in muscles, it's a roving pain that seems to show up in different places daily, sometimes muscle spasms. My stomach is always nauseated. Very little short term memory, runny nose all the time, constant feeling of having a cold, blurry vision, sensitive to light, little red bumps that appear on my skin, itch, then when they disappear, a scar is left like a cigarette burn. I am reducing the amount of lamictal I take as of this week. I am now only taking 175 mg and will for another week then go down to 150 mg. I am hoping some of these side effects will go away, if not I have to get off of it altogether. It's funny, because I didn't have all these side effects when I first started taking it. Seems the longer I take it the worse it gets. Just can't handle it anymore. wf

I was taking doxy twice a day for one week with food and noticed around a day or two after I was finished with it, my face broke out. It looks more like a rash than acne. I have a bunch of tiny little red bumps all over my cheeks (some on my forehead) with tiny little white heads similar to an ant bite. When I sweat, it gets twice as bad, and I feel a tightness in my skin where the bumps are.

I started taking Sulfamethoxazole for a bladder infection. The 3rd day I experienced joint pain in my legs, the advise nurse told me to continue with the meds, I did. The fifth day I suffered lower back pain, joint pain, and by the evening had a temp of a 101. The advise nurse told me to continue with my meds. The 6th day, I had a fever, nausious, went to my DR, my fever was at 101, abdominal pain, chills;I gave more blood, after 3 hrs of waiting for results, she looked at me and said she didn't know what was wrong with me...she had discussed my symptoms with a disease specialist and said I was probably experiencing drug fever and to stop the meds (2 pills left). When I got home my fever was at 103.5...
The next day, my fever had broke, I had a migraine all day, I went back in to give more blood. The 8th day, I woke up which appeared to be a sun burn on my face and ears...which led to little red bumps all over my body. The advise nurse looked at my chart and said she didn't believe this medication would cause this...I told her I was allergic to this medication, she wanted to know why I thought that...

I've been on Yasmin for about 5 or 6 months..The first couple of months were fine, I still had energy, a little added size to the breasts, cleared my acne completely. Now people are asking my if I got a boob job, they're freaking huge! Or if I'm pregnant because it looks like I gained about 20 pounds and I feel awful about myself. I'm an avid gym goer and I can't drag myself to gym if my life depended on it, or the fact that I have a layer of fat all over my body that developed after starting the pill. I read another comment about little red bumps someone was having problems with..me too, some of them are itchy, and my acne is slowly coming back. I'm stopping the Yasmin as soon as I get home from vacation next week, hopefully I won't have any of the side effects I've read about after people have come off the pill.
