Sulfamethoxazole and heartburn

I started taking the same medication...lump in my throat, nausea, heartburn and restlessness.

I am a 42 y/o woman rxed sulfameth far a UTI. I just completed my 5 day rx. From day one I had diarrhea, and stomach upset, but for the past 2 days I have heartburn which was rivaled only by the hearburn when at the end of my pregnancy with twins. It burns when I eat, and when I don't. I have gas, and the burps. And today I have begun to have joint pain in my jaw, throat, and in my chest if I take a deep breath. The strange thing is I have taken Bactrim in the past with no ill effects. Is the generic really that different...or am I just old! Hopefully the side effects will subside now that I have completed my course of meds. (it also made my chronic eczema worse...but just about anything can trigger that)

I was perscribed Sulfameth for my acne, but for weeks I kept getting heartburn and didnt know why. Yesterday, my heartburn got so bad it didnt go away, in fact i am still in a lot of pain and my back hurts terribly. My face is also swollen, as are my lips and my eyes. It honestly has helped my acne, but it is not worth this much pain.

I was prescribed Sulfameth for a UTI 6 pills for 3 days. I have allergies to most anibioics, so I was a little nervous taking this medication. I have had non stop nausia for the past 3 days, I took my last pill yesterday morning and I once again have nausia this morning... I have also been suffering from heartburn. The discomfort from the UTI is almost gone, but I have been taking gravol (anti nausiant) as well as tums continually to battle the heartburn....wondering if I should go back to my doctor as I still have slight pain...

just got back from the ER...Sulfameth for 3 days now...totals 6 pills...can't sleep, nervous, dry mouth/white coated tongue, muscle cramps, nausea, general sick feeling...also was taking Buspar (anxiety) and Aciphex (heartburn), and also Reglan (anti-nausea)...made a major mistake by downing some sleeping pills (Walmart brand and a Nytol)...haven't slept more than 15 minutes in 3 days...right now, I'm "clean" for almost 24 hours...smoked a cigarette, having a beer and calling it a day (or three)...I'd recommend you SERIOUSLY talk to your doc about alternatives to this one...hadn't had any problems before taking it...already feeling better...have been drinking water all day to flush this stuff out...

began with heartburn, excessive thirst, loss of appetite, and insomnia- by day 5, joint pain and chills, day 7 severe cramps and nausea, and by day 8, severe hives. stopping med. today!!
