Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim and uti

I was giving sulfamethoxazole for a UTI on Thursday night 6/25/09. on the 3rd day using this med. i started getting headaches and stomach pains. On Sat. July 4th i work up with 102 fever and red bumps all over my body. went to the er and i still had the UTI, not now i has a bad rash all over my body and i can't even go back to work until it clears up.

ok so i have been taking this medicine for a week now due to a uti and it is my 7th day on it and i broke out in a terrible rash that has spread to my torso and arms! i am not sure if it is from the medicine but may be this can help someone out there!

Prescribed a 3 day course for a UTI. I was fine the first day and a half but have developed a terrible, blinding headache now and some mild shortness of breath. This is my last day and only have one pill left so will finish but won't take again due to this headache. UTI cleared right up.

I was diagnosed with strep throat about 1 week ago and at first the doctors tried to kill me! They had prescribed amoxicillin--I am allergic to anything with "cillin" in it, and before heading home, I caught the mistake. The doctor apologized profusely, and then prescribed me erythromycin. Upon taking this drug, my face became swollen, and my eyes were itchy and red and my throat stung and my ears burned like fire! I returned to the doctor's office, and he was like, "oh, well, you're allergic to this, too! I'll give you some Bactrim. It helps for UTI's". I don't have an UTI, but I was desperate for anything to stop the burning pain. After taking Bactrim(sulfamethoxazole trimethoprim) for two days, my throat felt much better and the ear pain was gone, but I had a horrible rash on my chest, arms, back, and face. My eyes became itchy and puffy, and after day six of the treatment, I stopped taking my medicine. I couldn't take the rash or the itchy eyes anymore. Something strange happened: I felt just great! My skin had cleared, and no more itchy, puffy eyes! Now, two days later, I wake up to another sore throat AND itchy, puffy eyes. I do not have insurance, and any treatment I receive comes straight from out my own pocket. Could this stuff be silently killing me? Please someone help me with this strange dilemma

I was prescribed this for a UTI. I took ONE pill at 7 PM and by 8PM I was vomiting profusely and having diarrhea at the same time. I had a horrible headache and body aches, chills and probably a fever. Day two I feel exhausted and still have a horrible head ache. Unfortunately it is a holiday week end and I must wait to talk to the doctor until Tuesday about the UTI.
