"Prescribed Septra DS for kidney infection. I didn't have any side effects until the 4th day in, vomiting orange liquid, stomach upset & pains, lower back pain, side pains (both sides), super weak, super dizzy, lightheaded. I am so tired, and I keep having stomach spasms, insomnia. I was almost wanting to go to the hospital, but I hate hospitals, so that's not happening. I nearly also passed out while walking. My pet dog is looking at me funny. Like I made a mistake taking the pills, he's right, I did. Smart dog. Septra is horrible! I keep telling docs to prescribe Ciprofloxacin because of 0 side effects, but no one listens, so they give me this Septra DS stuff. Ugh."

"Had ache in back/side under rib, remembered that it was a symptom of kidney infection, left urine sample at the doctor's office immediately, test was positive for infection, doctor (who knows me well) called in this antibiotic, and I began making immediate progress within 24 hours. I was careful to take the full course of the medicine without stopping."
