I started bactrim for a mild UTI. It was a 7 day dose, twice a day. I've never had any problems with any medication before. I finished all the pills on Tuesday, and woke up with a rash all over my face, neck, arms, stomach, back, and thighs on Thursday. All day I was feeling weak and near fainting when I stood up. I had chills, itched, and yet was hot at the same time. I believe I had some palpitations. Also a fever and swollen lymph nodes all over my neck and upper back. As the day went on the rash spread all the way to my feet and it went from blotchy to solid red. we currently don't have insurance so I'm pretty much currently stuck this way. My whole body itches, tingles, and I can't sleep. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG ! ! ! I would not even risk it ! I would much rather have a UTI !

You were probably just alergic to the drug. My grandmother was alergic to it and when I took it, I had the same reaction as she did- thus proving I was alergic as well.. This medication will not always act like this- usually only if you have allergies concerning Bactrim.
