"After reading all the precautions for this drug and the one review; I have decided I'll let the Brown Recluse bite resolve itself. It's on the mend now anyway I'm 75 years old and this does not seem to be something I need to be taking. Thanks for the reviews and the information on the internet for giving me some insight."

"I have cellulitis. I took the first dose of sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim and my chest tightened up in about 4 hours accompanied with shortness of breath if I move the slightest bit. This is how I found this blog thru a Google search. Yup one dose is all I'm taking."

I am scared that this may of damaged me. I have no medical insurance right now and have been wheezing. Allergic to Sulfer and Predisone very sensitive to strong medicines."

"Well. I developed an acne pimple I thought it was and busted it while I was at work on a Friday night , Sunday my face was swollen. Went to the ER and they told me it was herpes simplex 1 and it had gotten into my skin and tissue and then become bacterially infected. I have taken Bactrim before and was fine. Now this time around it makes me have chills and extreme anxiety attack because I made a mistake and took 2 in the same day. I thought I was going to die! I will most difinitely watch my medicine and make sure it doesn't get mixed up again. The swelling in my face is going down a little at a time. I just pray this antiboitic works.."

"I had a grease burn on my wrist. It was very red around the burn areas and swollen. This medication took down the swelling and redness within 48 hours. But make sure you finish it anyway, even if you think the bacteria is gone. It can come back if you stop taking it! My only side effect was anxiety. Like drinking a whole pot of coffee in just a couple hours, and didn't happen until I was on it for 24 hours or so."

"About to be on my way to the hospital because this medication has given me shortness of breathe with congestion so no matter how I try to breathe I can't get my air. My infection has gotten worse and I am having muscle pain with a weird taste in my mouth and frequent urination, my urine is also an uncommon color than my average. I am getting confused at work and messing up and have only slept 4 hrs a night during this past prescription. I also have acne and its only getting worse. Don't use this."
