SMZ-TMP DS and headaches

Headache or Migraine sufferers BEWARE! I was prescribed this medication for an upper respiratory and double ear infection. After a week of taking the medication I have been laid up with migraines and headaches that come and go for days. Every morning I am severely nauseous and have vomited four times. I really want to cure what I have but what is worse: the infection or the medication? I plan to stop taking it.

I started SMZ/TMP DS 800-160 tab 2 days ago. I have bad feelings about this drug and today is 4th July and the weekend. I will quit it to get some other drug for my UTI. But it won't be for 3 days because the doctor is out till Monday to get another drug. Someone tell me a drug that does work for UTI. Someone mentioned Amoxicilln? Can that be used? The headaches are awful. I can't seem to empty my bladder at night so I never really sleep since I pee every 20 mins a few drizzles. I also was given that drug that makes the pee orange. It is Phenazopyrid 200mg. It relieves pain, burning or irritation of the lower urinary tract. Someone offer us info on a positive good drug they have used to help UTI. Thanks!

I've started taking this medication for a week now for a bad case of sinus infection. Its so bad the doctors say it is backed up in my head and isn't draining.My eyes get really red, migraines and headaches causes really bad pressure in head and I also have fluid in my ears. I guess this is why it was prescribed to me. I woke up one morning and my face was all swollen on the left side of my face and my lymph nodes in the back of my neck are all swollen for about 3 days now(looks like lumps in the neck). Anyway, I decided to leave the house for one day since I started taking this SMZ-TMP DS, I ended up catching hives throughout my body and got tingling every day after that. I read the bottle and it says Do Not be EXPOSED to excessive exposure to direct and/or artificial sunlight and it was quite sunny that day. I don't know if my meds are working but I think I will be seeing another Dr. to change to another medication.

I have been taking this drug for a week and two days. I am able to fall asleep easily but I have been waking up every night since I started this medication with terrible anxiety and my heart beating fast. I have also had some stomach cramping and frequent urination. I developed an upset stomach three days ago and haven't had a bowel movement since. I have also had really bad headaches.

I took SMZ and Rifampin together for an abcess and have been off of it for a few days and feel weak, off balance, headaches. It's NOT good!
