For Urinary Tract Infection "I've taken Septra DS before (with no side effects), but for some reason this time it is different! It has given me severe insomnia! Very odd and super frustrating. Also has caused me a lot of nausea, but the doctor prescribed Zofran (also known as the miracle medicine for nausea), so that's better. Also feel a bit 'out of it' and lethargic. One last strange symptom it's causing me is 'urinary hesitancy.' Had no idea there was such a thing until I spoke to my doctor about it. Hoping these symptoms resolve, or I may need to switch medicines, as I'm only halfway through this 10-day treatment."

For Urinary Tract Infection "Septra was prescribed for a UTI, 2 tabs daily for 5 days. Since I started 2 days ago, I’ve been unable to fall asleep until the early morning hours! Very frustrating. I will stop taking this drug due to the terrible insomnia. The UTI seems to be cleared up, though."

For Urinary Tract Infection "Makes me extremely nauseated. Cannot tolerate it. Have had multiple UTIs, and Septra sometimes doesn't get rid of the infection all the way. Causes insomnia and almost confusion."
