Was given this for infection in mouth that caused a swollen salivary gland. After the 3rd dose started getting pain in facial nerve, fever appreared, wanted to sleep, but couldn't due to the pain. Got progressively worse. Went to ER. Diagnosed as something else entirely. Pharmacist said it was likely drug reaction. Since I'm not taking it, I'm much better. Will try another anti-biotic, since it's likely the sulfa that's the problem. I suppose if you are sensitive to that you get a reaction, if not, then you don't.

No offense, but every person reacts to medication differently. I've been on this medication for a while and I'm fine.

I took 2 tablets: nausea, vomiting were the first side effects, then came extremely painful and stiff neck, confusion, severe headache, hallucinations (I felt like ants were crawling all over me). I could not lift my head for several hours. (Thank God for wonderful daughters). Do not ever take this medication!

I have a very bad finger infection due to me popping a pimple on my hand with a pair of toenail clippers. The area where the pimple was is now dark, and red and is very sore and hard. After two days my entire hand is swollen and the swelling is traveling up my arm. Will this medication work????

A PA gave this med to my husband for a crushed forefinger with open wound which was discovered to be infected upon removal of sutures. Hubby had ALL the side effects and the worse being... A Sinus Infection which came forth the last 3 days of taking meds. Nose bleeds, headaches, tiredness, gas, loose stools, you name it...Bad thing is... the wound is still open and oozing infection. So much for Workmans Comp rules of treatment... Urgent Care, PAs' and making a patient wait almost 4 hours to be seen or treated.

I am on day 9 of this medicine, and I think this is the only antibiotic that has really ever made me feel strange. I have been really depressed at night, anxious, head feels hot but no fever, just not right. I'm thinking my infection has cleared, and I am not going to take any more of these pills. Very thankful for all the positive and negative feedback; I'm sure it does work for some, and I'm glad to know I'm not alone with those who have dealt with side effects.

I took 1 pill and about 2 hrs. later,my lower back, hips ,legs (even the part behind my knees) , I was so much pain I almost call for an ambulance . I started drinking alot of water and cranberry juice, took excedrin and alka seltzer ( that's all I had available).after several hours back eased off, than more and more hours legs eased off. Now 36 hours later ,back is well, but behind my both knees is painful and left inside elbow is still painful. Is this a normal reaction ? I will never take another Septra-DS tablet.Should I see my dr. now or wait to tell him on next visit?

I have been taking the med for 3 days now for a UTI and have had only 1 side effect. 2 totally sleepless nights. I have noticed that all the side effects everyone has spoken of are listed in the paperwork that comes with the med. One should NEVER take meds without knowing the possible side effects. I even go online and do additional research these days. May I suggest you all do the same also discuss all meds with your doctor before agreeing to take them. The Doctor works for you and you pay them for that! Make them earn their money. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that medical building used to be titled "______ Medical Science Building" and now they all seem to be named ______ Medical Arts Building. Whats up with that? Guess it's no longer a science. And that my friends falls ubder the catagory of "things that make ya wanna say HMMM".

Took one dose of this medication for ear infection. Within 10 minutes, my whole body started itching horribly. I took two benedryls and two claritin to calm my body down. this was during hurricane sandy. I didn't want to leave my home to go to the hospital. It was so bad my eyes and lips were itching so bad to the point were I scratched my lips raw along with the horrible yeast infection. It was utterly, horribly ridiculous. this medicine is a nightmare.

It is not BAD!!! Some people can't tolerate sulfa meds......... People taht aren't educated on medication side effects shouldn't tell other people how bad the med is and not to take it. Ignorance isn't always bliss!

Julie Says:
All antibiotics can cause nausea and diarrhea. Taking a good probiotic will help stop that. Antibiotics don't just kill the 'bad germs' that make a person sick, but also kill off the good germs in the stomach also. Probiotics, (or eating yogurt if you can) will put the 'good germs' back in the stomach stopping this kind of side effect. The best ones are usually refrigerated and you can ask for them at Dillions or Walgreen's. They can also keep a person from getting a yeast infection too.

Allergic Says:
I started taking this med 8 days ago. The first three days I was nauseated and throwing up at night. Everytime I took a dose I would run a fever for 4 or more hours. Once the fever broke I felt alot better. Then on day 8 I have spots all over my body. They look like tiny blood blisters. When to the doctor and apperantly I have a sulfate allergy. I ws switched to a different med for my staph infection.
