Sulfamethoxazole and losing my mind

All I have to say is THANK GOD I FOUND THIS SITE! I thought I was losing my mind this weekend! I had noticed the usual loss of appetite and nausea with this medicine, but none of that was really bothersome. What was awful was the anxiety. I woke up at 5am panic stricken, on with my heart pounding, but somehow managed to talk myself down and go back to sleep. The next day about an hour after my morning dose a switch literally flipped and I was filled with rage, and crying and screaming, and had no control over myself. My boyfriend grabbed a hold of me and said "you are not well". I started looking online to see that mental/mood changes was a side effect of the drug and immediately decided to stop taking it. It took a while for my body to recover though, I felt depressed and sleepy for the next few hours, and it took a while for me to get out of bed. I do not recommend this medicine to anyone.

Can I just say thank god i found this site... after taking my last dose of this stuff today I needed answers... I thought I was losing my mind... i was nervous, anxious, my heart was beating through my chest, i was dizzy... I thought at first it was all in my head... then I thought I was panicing... and last night, lord I sat up itching like crazy.... too bad it took me so long to even think it was the pills... i'll NEVER take them again. EVER.
