I was perscribed Sulfamethoxazole for MRSA. This is my list of complications so far:

CANNOT FREAKIN SLEEP!
itchiness
confusion
some memory loss
moodiness
loss of appetite
jitteriness

yeah..some of them are listed as side effects...but most of them are not,but I found from websites like this, that several people experience side effects not listed.

I'm not worried. I'm just glad my infection is going away. I just don't like not feeling myself. It's sort of like Lex Luther...when he "goes crazy" for a few months on Smallville.

I was prescribe sulfameth for a bladder infection (I had know syptoms for) and a possible kidney stone. The next morning I notices strange intense pains going down my legs. I didn't think it was the medicine. I was also perscribed Hdrocodone for pain. I still felt bad but thought it was the kidney stone. A few day later I got a pain behind my left ear. Through the night I devolped intense pain in my lower head and my right ear also. The gland in my neck began to swell. My gland continue to ache especially behind my left ear. Two days before I finished my 10 day trial on this medicine I broke out in a rash. First on my neck it didn't bother me to much exept I had been feeling a bit nausous. By the end of the day the rash came out all over my body, arms, legs, back and neck and face. It really started to itch. I took Benadryl. I still feel extremely sick, chills, low grade fever and fatigue. I didn't make the connection to this medicine until the rash. So glad I found this site. It feels good to think I'm not going crazy. Oh Yea, I still have the original pain in my back (the kidney stone) waiting to here from the doc.

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.

My best-friend room-mate is downstairs now sleeping. He was perscribed this for an absess/possible staff infection, and have been having violent seizure like anxiety attacks. Two ER visits and still they don't know what it is. He shakes violently, and the only thing that will stop these attacks in xanax. I am positive these affects are being caused by this anti-biotic.

I took this medication before going to bed and woke up out of a sound sleep with severe itching and burning in vagina area after being perscribed for a bladder infection. This is the second time this has happened but I forgot the name of the medication since it had been so long since I had it. Now I have sores, almost like what is described as herpe sores but I think it is a result of the hives from this reaction.

Was perscribed this by a dermitoligist for minor acne, and have had more self doubt and uneasiness with daily tasks like coping with small discrepincies at work. It's almost a depressing feeling that has come over me, with very much inability to deal with stress. Not sure if I will continue this med
