SMZ-TMP DS and smz tmp

I have been taking SMZ/TMP since Monday evening for a UTI. I was also given some kind of red pill... I can't remember what is was called, made me sick to my stomach. I threw it away.

The SMZ/TMP is giving me the shakes, headache/neck pain, and body weakness. I have stairs in my house and walking downstairs has become increasingly difficult, even typing this is difficult as my shoulders, arms and hands are jittery, I am correcting a lot of typos.
I rarely take medications for anything... Except this time, I couldn't get away without it, the UTI was too painful. I only have a day and a half of dose left. I believe I will finish it, but it will definitely go on my list of medications that I can't take. I just hope it gets rid of this infection. This is the first UTI I have had since 1990. For the first one I just took some kind of amoxicillin. I don't remember feeling anything unusual when I took that particular medication.
Thanks

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.

I took Smz-tmp for kidney infection. Took at regular & prescribed times. My infection is worse. Gave me nausea & now lower back pain.

About a month ago I was prescribed SMZ/TMP Double-STR Tab MPC for an infection after 3 other antibiotics failed. After a few days I noticed that every night I was having a sweaty fever and chills. I eventually stopped taking the medication for fear that it was a reaction caused by the sun. This past week I noticed signs of my infection returning. Since I had nearly a full prescription left over, I decided to self medicate for that evening with intentions of calling the doctor the next day. About an hour after taking the tablet I felt this burning/tingling almost like an itchy feeling all over my body. Then came severe abdominal cramping with diarrhea, vomiting, and even vaginal bleeding. I was unable to sleep and noticed my face and lips had swollen to a grotesque state by the early morning hours. It was the most horrifying and painful night of my life.

Took "Double Strength" SMZ/TMP twice a day for 5 days for when some acne caused a swelling in my forehead. It was a suspected skin infection, but analysis later showed it was non-bacterial. I then stopped taking the medication.

No noticeable side effects, maybe some minor anxiety at first, really hard to tell, minor at most.

I have been taking Smz/Tmp 800 mg 2 tablets a day, since 3/18/06. I have been experiencing night sweats since Monday. I am also having trouble sleeping because of this. I am still experiencing the pain from my bladder infection. Please let me know how long it takes for this medication to take effect and when will the side effect go away.

Thank you very much

I recently was prescribed the sulfa type antibiotic, smz/tmp double str Tb MPC - and with one left to take, started to itch. I noticed small red bumps on the tops of my thighs, the underside of my arms and some on my belly - all of which have been itching.. So, I am using an Aveeno hydro cortisone. The chest cold/crusted eye syndrome I was experiencing for most of the month of Dec 2005..has now died away. It is the day after Christmas and I feel like I've been attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes. I will be sure never to take this again!

my doctor started me on smz/tmp double-str for the treatment of acne--- nightly i had been getting bad cases of diarhea but then just last night i was awoken at 3 in the morning by horrible stomach cramping and still have yet to go back to sleep ( its 6 at night ) i threw up a violent amount of times by now and i just feel so horrible...

I am taking SMZ/TMP 800mg/160mg , 2 tabs a day.
I could not sleep at night and time to time I feel very worm and sweating.

I was prescribed smz tmp for a minor kidney infection. I took the drug for 5 days and stopped because my side (the skin) began to itch and it felt like a severe burning on my skin - like sunburn.
It has been 6 days since I last took the medication. I know that it can take a couple of weeks for it to get out of my system, but is there anything I can take to alleviate these side effects?
