I have taken short courses of trimethoprim in the past with no obvious problems but this time was prescribed a longer course of tablets. In my case it was the effects on mood which were most scary, although after five days (-having just discovered this site and decided to stop taking the drug early) I have a very sensitive mouth and tongue- and have also experienced a feeling of fullness and congestion in my sinuses and throat similar to that described by others. The effects on mood were unpredictable but occurred about an hour after taking the morning does and seemed to then wane by the late afternoon. I had feelings of aggression (road rage) anxiety and paranoia. I developed the shakes and cried. I also felt generally depressed for the first time in my life and as though I could not be bothered to do anything. I didnt mention this to my GP when I went for a check up as I thought it sounded ridiculous but will call him asap to report what I experienced and also what I have read on this site.
