Sulfamethoxazole and vomiting

Prescribed to Sulfameth Tuesday March 20, 2 a day for 10 days, for an abscessed spider(not actually positive that it was) bite after having it lanced and drained.

Started with a massive global headache, and slight fatigue. Then moved to extreme nausea and feeling like my throat was closing, shortness of breath. Followed shortly thereafter by vomiting, loss of appetite, disconnection from the world... Basically everything every other negative testimonial has mentioned with the exception of the rash...

Either way this drug is trash. I stopped after only 4 doses. Today being Saturday, 3 days after stopping, the vomiting stopped yesterday but the horrible stomach cramp is still present. I am slowly getting my appetite back but any foods I look at look terrible and don't taste right. I can't drink anything but water without feeling like there is a nasty film in my mouth. I hope this subsides before my 21st birthday next tuesday or I'm going to be pissed. Never taking sulfa drugs again.

5 hr after first dose, vomiting, then severe chills, fever, sweats,104 degree fever ACHES, took 2 more doses before I figured out to discontinue. Lasted 6 days, lost the skin in my mouth and gained an oversize lymph node near anus. Thought it was the flu, so a week later tried a dose, and it all came back again. This time only lasted 3 days, still sore and tired. Don't take this stuff, I never got a rash, but believe I nearly died.

With the 2nd pill I started being nauseated and by the 3rd pill I was having headaches and vomiting all day long. I was given the pill for a bladder infection. I have never felt so bad in all my life.

i recieved sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/160 for an infection. since the first day i havent been able to each much, the third night ( i have to take on in the morning and before bed) i was vomiting. i have terrible stomach aches and cannot sleep at all.

Because of a leg infection, I have been taking prescribed Sulfameth for a few days. on the second day I experienced cold sweats and vomiting. Since then I have been experiencing a general dizzy or disconnected feeling and a nightmare-like feeling before and during sleep. My sleep patterns have been altered in general. Perhaps the biggest hit I'm taking is my irritability which is off the charts. I've never experienced anything like this.

The depression is horrible and this medication needs to be discontinued if there truly are substitutes.

I started taking this on 7/21/05 along with metronidazole for diverticulitis. On Thursday started with severe vomiting; Friday called the doctor because I was still vomiting; they told me to go to the ER if it continued which it did. Sunday went to ER and they gave me two prescriptions for nausea, one a prescritpon pill and the other suppositroy I did not use. This afternooon I got hives; I too have a a hard time sleepng and having very jittery thoughts. Hard time sitting still. This has been a nightmare for me.

My 7yr old daughter was put on this med becasue of a UTI. she took it for six and a half days, while on this med it took 5 day for the infection to go away, on the seventh day sick got sick at school was running a temp of 102.2 I took her back to the Dr. because to had a small red rash on her face by the time we got to the office it was all over her body. We saw the Dr. first thing in the morning by tea time her whole body was covered and I was told the headaches, vomiting. and temp was a virus but after I read everyones information I can see that the fever, headaches and vomiting was due to this med. I can't believe that I was not told about the side effects of this med.

Major headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, tingling in the hands, joint pain - general achiness, like the flu. I have been taking Sulfameth for two days, but after experiencing these side effects, and reading that others have experienced the same - I am stopping. There was no indication at all of any side effects, nor were there any warning labels on the bottle.
