SMZ-TMP DS and loss of appetite

I was prescribed SMZ/TMP DS 800-160 for a UTI...one pill twice a day. I had been taking it for 2 days. On the 3rd day, I broke out in hives in areas on my chest, sides, back and stomach and the next day started noticing small bumps on my arms and legs, too, that weren't as small and irritating as the hives the day before. Needless to say, I stopped taking it that day, the 4th day. However, it's the 3rd day since I've stopped taking it and I am still itching and skin is still broken out. This medicine had also caused a loss of appetite and altered my taste buds, but the break out is the worst of all and is ongoing, unlike the other side effects which were back to normal shortly after I stopped taking the pills. If anyone else has experienced the skin irritations, how long did it take for it to stop after taking the pills?

I took SMZ-TMP DS for a UTI. Within a few days I was experiencing stomach upset, abdominal pain, joint pain (knees and hip), sore throat, red eyes, and insomnia and one good side effect - loss of appetite. I decided to stop the drug.
