"Dr. prescribed this med for my prostatitis symptoms, on day 5 of a 28-day plan. Noticeable reduction in symptoms so far. Pain seems to be fading as the days pass. Was told to take the whole prescription, as just because the symptoms fade doesn't mean it's gone. Some light side effects are lightheadedness, occasional nausea, and some interrupted sleep, some body tingling also during the day. But if it makes these symptoms go away, it's worth the tradeoff. Better than feeling like your bladder area is on fire. If you can handle the slight side effects for a couple of weeks, I would recommend giving this a try. Although everyone is different and side effects may differ."

"I was originally prescribed Cipro to treat my prostatitis. After 6 days, Cipro proved ineffective for the particular bacteria I had. Switched to SMZ-TMP in addition to Flomax and already feel relief on day 2. SMZ-TMP was free at my local Publix. I would have given it a 10 if I wasn't taking it in combination with Flomax (which is also having positive results)."

"I took this for prostatitis last year, and I'm on it for the same thing again this year. Last time I was on it, it helped the infection, but the infection did not completely go away, and I had to go on a different antibiotic. I have had a tough time getting a good night of sleep since I started taking it. I wake up many times a night and lay awake in bed quite often. It's annoying, but I've had worse drug interactions. It's extremely cheap, which is a positive."

"I can feel that this medication is pretty powerful... Only side effects I'm experiencing are brain fog or not able to think clearly, kind of a delayed reaction time. I'm an endocarditis survivor and can't have any infections without risking reoccurrence. 9 more days to go."

"24 yo male, no side effect symptoms on this, while I had moderate symptoms with doxy. While it did not completely clear up the main issue (yet, still have about 5 days left on it out of a 45-day supply), it did help."
