For Kidney Infections "Wow, I should have looked at reviews prior to taking this SMZ-TMP DS medication. I had this prescribed for a UTI/possible kidney infection. I only had a 3-day course. On day 2, I woke up extremely sick, horrid headache that turned into nausea and vomiting. That caused the headache to be even worse. I felt so weak and dehydrated, like the worst hangover of my life, except there was no alcohol involved!! :( I had to drink water all day, or else I felt I was gonna pass out and did nothing but lay on the couch under the blankets. Moving in any way made me out of breath. I finished the dose as I was scared to not finish since the internet says it’s bad to not complete antibiotics. On the night of day 2, I was finally recuperating, but surely after taking the morning dose of day 3, I went back to feeling super crappy!!! I’m hoping my infection is gone, but my back is still hurting, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Anyone taking this, beware!! Make sure to eat a lot and drink a lot, a lot of fluids."

For Urinary Tract Infection "After taking the 2nd dose, I began having a very bad burning feeling in my stomach. Then my back muscles hurt. There was no getting comfortable. I also could only urinate once in 10 hours when I had been going about every 2 hours prior. About 10 hours after I took that dose, I finally and unexpectedly vomited. I fell asleep for a few hours, and when I woke, my backache was gone, and I wasn't doubled over in pain from my stomach. I immediately decided that I wasn't even going to try another dose and called to be put on something different. It's now been 5 days since I took this medicine, and my stomach still feels like it has a hole eaten through it."

For Urinary Tract Infection "Was prescribed this for a UTI. Spent 6 hours in the emergency room for dehydration after 3 1/2 hours of extreme abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, and vomiting. This, after only 1 pill. Worse than my experience with Augmentin by far."

For Urinary Tract Infection "This worked quickly for my UTI caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. I was prescribed this for 1 pill every 12 hours for 3 days. I took this along with a variety of probiotics, and I didn’t have too many issues. My only problem was that it didn’t tell me anywhere that I should probably avoid alcohol, so after day one I had two beers and woke up in the middle of the night with nausea and vomiting. After that episode, I was totally fine, just rested throughout the day. This was surprisingly mild for me, and it worked really well. I am hoping it will help stop my reoccurring UTIs."
