Sulfamethoxazole and dizziness

Well, I am on night three of my 7 day course, which I am taking for a UTI I didn't even know I had, and I have been going absolutely nuts the last few days. I was supposed to leave an hour ago to drive to California from Florida (It's 4:55 a.m.), but I am now having to put it off a whole day because I have been shaking, getting hot/cold spells, dry mouth, hands and feet sweating, nausea, gas, dizziness and just generally feeling yucky. I have not had a panic attack in almost 5 years - and I certainly never had one that lasted this long. But no matter what, I have always prided myself on being able to fall asleep. Tonight, I feel a bit bullied by this drug. I slept only two hours tonight, and still don't feel as though I can go back to sleep.

I also had a bad reaction, after taking this drug for a sinus infection, sweating, dizziness, racing heart, nausea, stomach pains, but I also had tinnitus in my left ear....has anyone else had this happen?

I wish I had of read the side effects of this pill earlier. I just finished my last pill, and I was taking them 2x daily for 7 days. I was real fatigued, had dizziness and spells, at times I felt I was going to faint. And Im so nauseous, I was thinking I was pregnant. This pill is really awful, I will not take again.

I was prescribed sulfameth for an infection from a possible bug bite. After three days of taking this drug, I've had a severe headache, nausea, diarrhea, chills, fever, excessive perspiration, tightness and pain in my chest, dizziness, tingling around my lips, low back pain, weird nightmares and fitful sleep. Also, my blood sugar level is significantly elevated and I have constant stiffness and soreness in my neck. I'm just now coming to this website after experiencing these side effects for a total of five of the eight days I've been on the sulfameth.

I was prescribe sulfameth for a bladder infection and the side effects I eperieneced were worse than my infection. I was anxious, a pulse rate of 104 beats per min @ a resting state (thats way high), horrible tremors, nausea, puplis the size of saucers, dizziness, and I only got 6 hours of sleep in two days.

I am soooo glad i looked up this website because all the side effects i was experiencing i thought were just me. i mean i was prescribed sulfameth for a UTI and my doctor told me it might just give me a slight rash-but it turns out that i got an EXTREME headache like someone was bashing me in the head with a sledgehammer, i was very nauseated and vomited up blood.(Mydoctor told me it was because i took ibuprofen-i took it to stop the ridiculous headache i had for TWO DAYS!-she said it caused stomach bleeding) also, i experienced restlessness, i was uncontrollably anxious, appetite loss, dizziness, and uncontrollable sweating. i would wake up and feel like i just got out of the shower! i don't think im going to take this medicine anymore because im suppossed to be on it for 3 more days but i DONT THINK SO!!! i thank all of you for showing me this useful information.

yes i am having the same flu symptoms and today i broke out in a body rash. had a headache yesterday and body chills. skin sensitivity, head ache, dizzyness, loss of appitite, sleeplessness, fatigue, nausea. i believe it is an allergic reaction. glad i found this place so now i know i'm not sick like i thought i was. i have three days left on the medicine and i'm not going to continue to take it

I WAS PRESCRIBED SULFAMETH 4 DAYS AGO FOR A POSSIBLE URINARY TRACT INFECTION. AFTER 2 DAYS THAT HAS APPEARED TO CLEAR UP BUT THE SIDE EFFECTS WHICH I CAN ONLY ATTRIBUTE TO THIS MED HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE. SO MUCH SO, THAT I HAVE DISCONTINUED IT. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE SHAKES, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS AND VERY LOW ENERGY LEVELS. I WILL CERTAINLY NOT USE THIS DRUG AGAIN.

I have been on sulfameth/trimethorim 800/160 for 4 days for a SPIDER BITE !!!. I also take diovan hct 80/12.5 for BP and water retention. I have experienced rapid and irregular heartbeat, dizziness, confusion, lethargic etc...Was anyone treated for a spider bite with sulfameth?

its been 5hrs into medication and Im expierencing chronic itching all over my body including vaginal area, dizziness dry mouth, chills difficulty consentrating Im going to dr. office monday mornning and will ask for a diffrent meds for my URI.

I started taking sulfameth to treat a staph infection. Symptoms began after the second day of taking the medication. At first, I experienced nausea, migraines and dizziness. The next morning my eyes were sore and were a bit red. I felt drained throughout the entire day. I stopped taking the medication and cleaned the area thoroughly and daily, and it soon disappeared.

I was prescribed Sulfameth/Trimeth for both a UTI and Sinus infection started taking it on Saturday evening. By Sunday I felt worse with flu like symptoms and a horrible horrible headache that I couldn't shake regardless of what I took.
I also developed a rash on arms and face and sudden Nausea
several times along with dizziness. Restlessness as well. I also developed a fever which I did not have before taking this medicine.
All this occured before I found this website.
I will stop taking this and get a different prescription tomorrow.

Took this for a UTI - stopped taking after 6 days because of:

Fever (101.5) - hot and cold sweats
Severe headaches
Nausea
Dizziness

I would think twice about taking this drug again. It got rid of the UTI fine but the side effects were horrendous - couldn't move out of bed for a whole day.

I was given sulfameth for a sinus infection. I suffered drymouth, lack of appetite, anxiety,high fever, extreme thirst, aches, pains in arms, legs and neck, numbness in fingers, rushes in my head, dizziness,bad headaches, and finally, hives all over my body. It was horrible.

flu like symptoms, 104 temp., severe chills, cold sweats, dizziness and severe body aches.
