After taking 1st dose before bed I woke with an extremely dry mouth and a horrible metallic taste and smell in my mouth. I googled what caused this and it says that some antibiotics will move through your body and come out through your saliva. Well this medication did exactly that. It was absolutely horrible. I could not eat or even drink anything. Ever had a very bitter taste to it. I immediately stopped the medicine and after about 12 hours my mouth returned to normal. I was ordered to take the medicine 2 times a day for 10 days but there was no way possible I could. I advise against taking this antibiotic unless it’s absolutely necessary. I took levequin instead and my UTI symptoms stopped after a couple days. Read More Read Less

It seemed to clear up my UTI quite quickly. Dr prescribed 10 day dose. I am on day 9. As of yesterday, I have flu like symptoms- nausea, fever, body aches, neck aches, headache, lack of appetite. Now, my arm is beginning to itch. I’m afraid to stop taking the meds and I keep saying to myself 3 more pills. I will text my doc. Not sure if this is meds or a type of flu. I read another review from a person that had exact same symptoms and towards the end of the dose.

I was prescribed Smz/tmp Ds 800-160 Tab for a UTI x 14 days 2 tabs a day. No side effects until about the 13th day and even then I wasn't sure it was the antibiotic. I started experiencing an achy flu like feeling, joint pain, neck pain, headaches, extreme fatigue to the point it was debilitating. Now I am 5 days after my last dose and I am still feeling side effects along with a new one, a red rash on my face ! It runs from my cheeks across my nose. ....I,m not sure what is going on.

Worst Medication in my whole entire life taking.. I broke out in blisters all over my body. That never happened to me before, It's to strong.. I feel horribly, I highly do not recommend... I'm itchy all over.. Swollen all in my facd also. They should take this off the market expeditiously.

On morning after first dose, had joint aches and fever. Also caused eye irritation and bloodshot eyes. The medication worked to resolve my infection, but the joint pain was horrible, especially in ankles, wrists, and knees.

I fell and got a 1 1/4" laceration on the top of my head. Because I fell on outdoor steps, I was prescribed this antibiotic. Note, I also have COPD. Not only did it protect the incision (5 stitches) free from infection but it was very effective in clearing my lungs from mucous. No side effects, it worked great and hopefully my MD will prescribe this for any future lung exascerbations.

This medication should not be used if you have Lupus! I was prescribed SMZ/TMP for an infection and it caused a lupus flare that I had to be hospitalized for. Although it is not listed on WebMD, the hospital knew immediately what medication I was on and that it was causing my lupus flare when I told them I was on an antibiotic. The medication DID help clear up the infection, but as stated prior, caused a lupus flare up.

Got a bee sting on top of right foot. Turned into cellulitis. Took kevlex and prednisone. Didn’t full work. Prescribed this. Have felt awful for 7 days. Short of breath, couldn’t sleep, winder, low blood sugar, upper stomach pains. Infection went away but my word, I hope to never take this again!!!

Omg! This stuff is the worst antibiotic i have taken. I wasnt throwing up before I started taking it and now it is nonstop!. By day 3 i was having diarrhea and throwing up. I cant. I've never had a bad reaction to any antibiotic. This is the first. Also, it says no where on my bottle how many milligrams it is or else i might just try a smaller dose. Does anyone know what the dosage is on these big pills? Any chance it will still be effective if i only take half a pill twice a day?

This is a generic for Bactrin (?) which I have taken in the past with little difficulty. I did get a reaction first taking it this time because it is a generic and not the same name. But, I didn't eat much and I took it today on a full stomach and so far all is good. It does work but has its side affects like most antibiotics. Take probiotics and eat yogart - it helps.
