After two doses of this medication I had a high fever, chills, night sweats and every part of my body ached. I literally could not get out of bed for three days. I have never had a reaction to any medication and I would not advise using this medicine at all. It was a total nightmare!

I guess I may be very drug tolerant but this one stopped a severe urinary tract infection that had reached my prostate as well. In 3 days was feeling great, have had no side effects and my hunger came roaring back once the fever was gone. I love this stuff.

After taking this drug for a few days, had no appetitie, slight nausea, anxiety and feeling of fatigue. On the 10th day had an allergic reaction. Broke out in hives on my upper body, arms, hands, legs and buttocks. It was like my body said enough is enough. Stopped taking, drank as much water as I could and in 12 hours things started to improve. Like to scratched myself to death. I will not take this again, to many side effects.

This was my first UTI, very painful thought I was dying, so dr called in this med.(7 days worth) Worked for UTI, but after 2 pills I started having flu-like symptoms, fever, nauseated, very tired, sensitive to smells, felt terrible, could hardly get up out of bed. It did clear infection but not worth it! 7 days of feeling bad, no way, there's other antibiotics out there. Also,3 days after last dose, broke out in rash all over my body lasted for days AND caused me to get yeast infection!! Will NEVER take this Rx again! Read More Read Less

I kept getting urine infections and my doctor prescribed 2 weeks worth of this medication, it was easy to you, it worked perfectly find but maybe the last 3 days of taking it i broke out in hives, realizing im allergic to it. it worked but im unfortunately i am not allowed to take it because of the allergy. would recommend this because it worked for me which my doctor didnt think anything could because it was reoccurring.

I have been taking Septra for 7 days. On the fifth day I developed flu like symptoms and the glands in the back of my head became painful and swollen. I experienced some pain in the joints of my hands and had chills and fever.

It appears to have worked as I don't have bladder infection any more. Was taking for cystitis, don't know which kind. Caused Severe joint pain, inability to sleep, diahrrea started after 5 days, abdominal pain, skin hurt, eyeballs hurt, black stools started 3rd day after stopping treatment. I think this drug was too strong & overkill for an almost 66 year old woman. Was supposed to take for 7 days & I did my best to stay with it, took it with food & yoghurt & lactinex to stall off any yeast infection & took all but the last pill. I couldn't face another pain filled sleepless night. Within 24 hours of last dose I felt almost back to normal, but then the black stools started & now it will be more medicine of some kind to counteract that. My urine didn't show infection, but I had burning symptoms & frequent urge to urinate. Read More Read Less

Medication has me itching from the navel to my ribs and on my back. I honestly can't take this pill any longer and after reading a few horror stories about this pill I think thats a good idea. Doctor prescribed for 2 months! I can't go that long without sleep.

I started this drug four days ago, for a nasal skin infection. Okay for one day, then the fever, night sweats, chills, hot flashes, sore joints, and hives started. I thought I just had a cold,and got flea bites from my doggie, until I did some research, to find out these are allergic reaction symptoms. I have called my doctor, and finally got a call from her receptionist a day later, saying "maybe" I should stop taking it, and to come in and see them "in a week or so". Needless to say, I will never take this medicine again, or give this doctor any more of my business!Read More Read Less

after 3 days of taking this med. I got extremely dizzy/vertigo blurred vision and so nauseated I threw up for what seemed like hours also while throwing up I was sweating profusely yet it was cool in the house I had to just lay on the floor by the toilit as I was so off balance and the nausea so strong it was in my opinion useless as no relief from the sinus/congestion but had all those horrible side effects
