"Was prescribed Bactrim for a UTI. Within minutes of taking my first dose, I became extremely itchy and developed welts... I stopped taking it, and it took two days for the itch to calm down. So apparently, I'm allergic to it. Had to get a different drug called in, which was CIPRO, will not take that one due to bad side effects, so now I'm on Macrobid. Will see how this goes."

"Very annoying side effect for me was the constant air bubbles stuck in my throat. Bad taste and taste buds are affected. Felt like my mouth and throat were slightly numb and felt as if I had a thick film in my mouth/throat. Constantly felt like I had to swallow."
