Comparing Ciprofloxacin vs Trimethoprim

For Urinary Tract Infection: I was skeptical to take this medication. I had an adverse reaction to "Flagyl" for a UTI before so I read side effects for antibiotics now. I let my doctor know how I was feeling about taking it, so he prescribed me Cipro for 5 days 2X a day at 250mg. I had side effects such as fatigue, tingly and muscle aches. I just took my last dose and I'm not sure if it fixed it. I'm 30 years old and active so I'm glad to be going back to normal life again after thinking this drug was going to ruin my life like I read on here.

For Urinary Tract Infection: I was placed on this antibiotic because Bactrim gives me nasty side effects and I told my doctor that so she gave me this. Never been on this for a UTI before and I’ve had a UTI every 4 months almost ON THE DOT for the past 2 years. Literally have been to urgent care 4/3, was just back there on 9/3. so about every 4-5 months I’m back there. Anyway, she put me on this one and so far the only major side effect is that I’ve had trouble sleeping and my feet get really dry. ALSO THE WORST ONE is that urgency to pee is just hanging around, like I still have a UTI or something, and I’m on day 4 out of 5 of treatment. Just hoping this awfulness ends soon. I bought AZO urgency pain relief pills and those always help.

For Urinary Tract Infection: First of all I have had a stressful time recently but was coming out of it. Suspected UTI so GP prescribed 7 days worth of Trimethoprim. After 2 doses the panic started. Thought nothing of it. Day 2 by the evening I thought I had flu. Body aches, headache, hot flashes alternating with shivering then every pulse in my body was thumping as well as my heart so that then lead to a panic attack as my pulse was going way too fast. I feel awful today. General weakness and body aches and my head is thumping. I actually feel like stopping these tonight after 3 days as I feel awful, anxious and tonight depressed and hopeless. Yes the burning when peeing has stopped but now I'm peeing loads because of the anxiety and panic. Honestly can't 100% say Trimethoprim has caused all of it but I'm pretty sure it's caused a lot of it. Just putting this here in case anyone else is suffering the same you aren't alone. I see others have suffered similar.

For Urinary Tract Infection: This antibiotics trimethoprim is good for treating UTI’s but give awful side effects Had 3 days worth of these and although cleared up infection came with some unwanted feelings worse side effects were migraine type headaches fatigue shakes nausea and racing heart Absolutely awful wouldn’t want to take these again thank god it was only 3 days!
