Also negative for sti yeast infection and bv. She gave me bactrim just in case. I dont know if I should take it or consider I might have post infection inflammation which I dont need a anti. I have had constant burning for eight days and is getting somewhat better. Is it possible the uti test didnt show a mild infection still? I am very healthy and have no health issues. I take zero pills as well. Thank u for any help ## Hello, Nikki! How are you? You may actually have a kidney stone, or several.

How many days of Bactrim use does it take to cure strep throat? ## Did your doctor prescribe it for treating strep?

My doctor told me it would be ok to take these two drugs together. They both state that nausea can be a side effect. When I was taking the Bactrim I had no symptoms but the day I took both, my stomach hurt for three days and of course I did not take another vyvanse since. I am writing because when I used to take Adderal and drink coffee a few hours before, I would have the same symptoms and now. since I had coffee just before taking these pills, I am wondering if the coffee is the cause and not the combined pills. thanks ## Hello, Luke! How are you? It is likely that the combination of the Coffee and Vyvanse are the cause, since they are both stimulants, so together they may be too much for you. However, only your doctor can discover the cause for sure. The FDA lists the typical side ef...
