User Reviews for Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I never had an allergic reaction until I took this medication, now I learned the hard way I'm allergic to sulfa drugs. After one dose I had a lot the serious side effects: high fever, intense stomach pain, insomnia, hallucinations, anxiety, non-stop chills/shaking, vomiting, rash. Needless to say I ended up in the hospital for 3 days. I think my that you need to be careful when taking the drug and be aware of all the serious side effects.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Helped clear out a urinary tract infection fast. Still took the medication for a full week. It really did the trick.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Worked well but caused me to have acid reflux.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Works well for me but also gave me yeast infections.

SMZ-TMP DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I would get a urinary tract infection when I had sex. To control the situation my doctor prescribed SMZ-TMP DS. I took one or 2 a day for years. As long as I took the pills I was not bothered with a UTI. Miss a day or 2, and UTI. Worked wonderful.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): It worked like magic on my urinary tract infection. It is great and I didn't have any side effects.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I felt better after 4 days. The reason why I didn't give this medication a 10 is because I experienced back pain while on this medication. Secondly, because I have to take the medicines for 7 days. I would have prefered to take AZO since it's only a 2 day medication but I couldn't because I was allergic to it.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Little did I know, I am horribly allergic to Sulfa. After two pills, I began experiencing horrible leg and arm cramps. They were so bad, that I was unable to stand for longer than a couple of minutes. These symptoms took about a week to fully disappear and this was from taking only 2 pills!

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I get bladder infections a lot so I have a standing script for them but my Doctor said to only use them until symptoms were gone. It works wonderful fast no side effects. My urinary tract infections are usually gone in 3 days and better in one.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I'm very obsessive. Somewhere around a few years ago I started obsessing and being paranoid about medications. So, as I'm sure you are all doing right now, you're looking up reviews on this medication to determine if you'll take it. Just like I did. I almost gave myself a panic attack thinking about possibly taking this medicine and then having a serious allergic reaction. Luckily though, while speaking with my pharmacist he let me know I took this medicine last year and I remembered I was fine. The point is, every medicine has adverse effects. Chances are, you won't have major side effects.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I've just taken my 3rd pill and everytime I take it I feel extremely lousy. Terrible headaches, dizziness, blurry vision, shaky nervousness, some difficulty breathing, beginning to itch. I don't like this at all the way I feel. Just before I need to take the next dose I'm feeling my old normal self and then I take the Bactrim and boom I go downhill, again. Told my doctor I quit...it's ruining the quality of my life.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Any antibiotic used will put you at risk for a yeast infection. It depletes the normal flora in the vaginal area. Bactrim DS is a great antibiotic to get rid of many forms of infection though. Weigh your pros and cons. You can always add yogurt to your diet which assists in helping to prevent yeast infections.

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Septra DS is excellent for UTI. I have been on it for three days with absolutely no side effects. My UTI has cleared up rapidly. My only criticism is that the pills are rather large and very dry that is probably why it is recommended that it be taken with lots of water.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Took this for 3 days. 2nd day got severe itching on palms and soles of feet. Day three had uncontrollable shakes, heart racing, felt like it was going to come out of my chest, facial numbness, dizzy, very elevated (for me) blood pressure of 145/90, whole body tingling, dizziness, light headed, extremely intense nervousness, ringing in my ears.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Worked fast. Thank goodness.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I've taken this to treat and to prevent urinary tract infections and it has helped me with both. The only reason I gave it an 8 is because if I don't take it for a while and then I take it, I get hives. The next day when I take it I'm fine. Just happens the first time. When this happens I have to take a allergy medicine to help it go away.

Septra (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Caused nausea...but worked.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Cleared infection but gave me a nasty itchy rash over my entire body.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): The reason why I gave a 4 was because I had a lot of stomach pain, back pain, sore throat, headache.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I had a terrible urinary tract infection. Went to the ER and they gave me this anti-biotic. It made me really sick.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Today was the first day I took this medication. Two hours after, I experienced joint pain, blurred vision, back pain, a headache, chills, fever, nausea, cough and sore throat. This was in addition to my already severe urinary tract infection symptoms which I was sent to the ER for the night before, including, severe pain in pelvis, achy back (kidneys). Although, symptoms of a severe UTI can also be fever, pain in the flank (pain that runs along the back at about waist level), chills, and nausea, I believe the medication gave me the additional symptoms. I was fine all day long until around two hours after taking the pill. After about 3 hours, symptoms increasingly went away. I am not sure if the pills are working or if they wore off.

sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim: If you are not allergic to sensitive to Sulfa drugs, this one is amiracle for UTI's.Since having a hysterectomy in 2004 I have become prone to UTI's unfourtanatly, But at the first sign of one, If I start The Bactrim DS, I am free of synptoms within 12 to 24 hours.It is very important however to finish ALL of the medication, don't stop just cause the symptoms go away.And for relief symptoms until the medication starts working, I highly recommend OTC Uristat

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I was prescribed Bactrim for a UTI. It started to clear it up in a day, but I was so nauseous. I couldn't even sleep and then I started vomiting on the second day so I went back to the doctor.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Worked very well. By the second-third pill it was feeling better. But Doctor gave me the DS 2x a day and I think its a bit much. By 4th day I felt really horrible. Tired, foggy headed, and lethargic towards the evening. Not going to take anymore pills. Did clear up the issue tho!
