"I was prescribed this medicine for an upper respiratory infection and sinus infection. The first day it helped me sleep taking the two pills. My third day, I was feeling a lot better, able to get out of bed, felt like everything was going away. Later in the night on my third day, I started having chest pains, peeing a lot, and extremely tired. My fourth day, I was having more chest pain and my brain felt cloudy. I'm on my fifth day, and I don't know if I'm going to continue it. Started getting short of breath and lightheaded. Starting to feel how I was feeling before I started the medicine. I wouldn't recommend it at all."

"When I was 15, I learned that I was allergic to Bactrim. Eleven years later, the doctor prescribed me this medication, stating that our allergies change. I was nervous to take this medicine, but I was so sick with an ear infection that I decided to give it a try. The worst experience of my life. I only took two pills, one in the morning and one before bed. I was up from 12 am to 6 am, non-stop puking. I could not hold anything down. At first, I thought I had the flu, as every bone in my body was in pain... After a few hours of sleep and not taking this Rx, I then realized I am still extremely allergic to this medication. I would never want someone to go through what I went through. I have not taken this medication since yesterday, and I have not puked."

"This caused bad vomiting, the last time I vomited like this: 1968, Hong Kong flu. There's better treatment for UTIs."
