http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650 I was prescribed Sulfamethoxazole-TMP tablets for a severe UTI that I developed. I was given 10 tablets total--and instructed to take two per day. Within an hour of taking the first tablet, my UTI felt much better, however, the rest of me felt horrible!

I dutifully took two the first day, then one a day til gone.

It was the Macrobid that I took one a day after the first day. In any case, never been so sick as I was on the sulfa. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=9394 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 09:49:53 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=13776 I'm taking this medicine now and not experiencing any side effects but its very successfully removing my infection. If you have any side effects from a medication you should contact your doctor and look into an alternative.

The nausea is no fun and it happens like a few hours after I take it as well as the dizziness and inability to concentrate. I did not http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=16984 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 12:10:11 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=17093 Um wow. Every medicine has side effects people. One antibiotic is right for one person and wrong for the other. You're supposed to call your doctor AS SOON as a side effect shows up, not wait till they all manifest. At that point you probably shouldve gone http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=17093 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 00:25:07 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=17203 I started taking this medicine yesterday for chronic prostatitis. I have no ill effects, basically the original poster is allergic to this medication and that is why they are having all those bad effects. Listen to your body it doesn't let you down, you ca http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=17203 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 04:53:17 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=17764 Wow is all I can say as I read all these posts and it made me wonder if what I had experienced was due to taking this medicine as well. Now I am not saying that it was actually due to taking this but at the same time I do wonder.

I had added a 40 min. hard workout about 3 weeks ago and was feeling great until I went to the doctor for a sinus infection. Over the last four d http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=17996 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 08:14:05 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=18589 I developed a UTI and was prescribed this medication. The first day of dosing my UTI symptons were much better, but I had a headache. A day or two later I continued with the headaches and I was experiencing a lot of anxiety especially at night while tryi http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=18589 Fri, 01 May 2009 00:05:38 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=19398 I Thought It Was Just Me Its Soo True The Headaches Are The Worst My Legs Were Itching And I Was In Cold Sweats At Night Unable To Sleep....

Your friends were right about the Benedryll, but you should have called your doctor immediately. No antibiotic should affect your conscious rational to the degree you describe! http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=19848 Fri, 22 May 2009 05:04:22 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=20016 Reply- Friday May 22, 2009 I took only 1 pill of this Sulfamethoxazole-TMP and within 1 hour I was itching and having pains in my joints.

Does anyone know how long these side effects will last?. I do not know how much longer I can take this itching and pain. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=20017 Mon, 25 May 2009 03:13:10 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=20081 This meds gave me some sideeffects that too bad to say but i will find out tomorrow how it going to effect the rest of my life.. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=20081 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 10:02:40 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=20770 You had an allergic reaction.

I came to this sight because I was looking up side effects. I'm miserable because I have been taking it since Thursday (it's Tuesday now) and I began staying up til 3am... then it was 4am and then last night it was 5am.

I've had terrible unknown allergies, for almost a year now, that makes me break out in full body hives/rashes. Yet, this seems to be the worst side effect to most of the people who posted on this p http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=22754 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:56:43 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=22943 Same exact symptoms, except that rash covers my entire body. Eyes and throat are sore. Pain moves around to legs, arms, back. Feels like I have been pummeled all over by a baseball bat. Bottom of feet are sore and it is painful to stand.

Allegic to Penicillan already. Had a staph infectin on my lip, don't know how I got that, but I hear if it gets in the blood, it can kill a person. I was instructed to take 2 pills/day.

I received this antibiotic for a 5 day prescription. On day 4 I developed achiness and by the next day I had a fever and head to toe achiness. I had 1 pill left to tak http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=24017 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:13:58 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26650?item=24062 Please never take this medication?? You will regret it?? The problems you are describing are an ALLERGY to sulfa mediacations, not problems others might typically experience.
