Bacterim Side Effects

My doctor prescribed Bacterim for my suspected STD. Symptoms are a sharp pain in my penis whenever I get an erection, a white milky discharge and initially a raw irritated area along the underside of my penis. Once the underside of my penis healed, my balls developed a raw, painful area with open sores. Not good!

Since the STD and Chlamydia cultures came back negative, my doctor prescribed this antibiotic to defeat whatever infection I might have picked up on my recent visit to Costa Rica.

Since taking my first pill Friday at 5pm, I have developed a bad cold. My sinuses are all stuffed up, I have a bit of a headache and perhaps a fever, I feel very tired despite getting 8 hours sleep and I feel very old - my muscles feel extra sensitive.

In the 2 pages of cautions I received with this prescription, I see that a severe allergic reaction includes a severe rash, hives, breathing difficulties and dizziness. It also says to avoid exposure to the sun. Unfortunately, I laid out for 40 minutes in the sun yesterday, as is my normal habit, to give my body the ability to produce lots of vitamin D. I will refrain from doing that until my week of medication is completed.

I notice that side effects include stomach upset, nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite. I have experienced the first 3 with other antibiotics, but not this one. I have lost my appetite, but I don't mind..hehe

Finally, it says contact your doctor immediately if you experience skin rash or blisters, unusual fatigue, persistent sore throat or fever, yellowing eyes or skin, dark urine or severe stomach pain or cramping. I will leave a message for my doctor regarding the several fatigue and cold symptoms. Good luck to us all - we need it!

I am amazed by how dumb some people are. I am male. Are you assuming I am gay? I am not. I had safe sex with a couple female prostitutes and caught gonorrhea. My doctor took me off the Bacterim. I was given 8x 250mg of Azithromycin to take all at once because I am allergic to penicillin. Otherwise, I would have received the injection. Additionally, i was given Doxycycline Hyclate 28 x 100 mg to take twice a day, just in case i might also have caught chlamydia. All these antibiotic (literally against life) are making me tired - to tired to exercise hard. Oh well...
