I was prescribed the generic for Bactrim for a UTI. I have taken it for 3 days and i feel sore and extremely tired.. can barely get myself up at night to take care of my 4 week old baby. My face feels numb, my tongue hurts, I'm feeling sick to my stomach and having bad headaches and a dry mouth. Ive also experienced a pain on the right side in my shoulder and down in my breast. I thought my UTI was causing this until i ran across this webpage so thank you..

Developed Systematic Candiasis, dry mouth, etc. It put some things out of wack. Asside from that I wouldn't say anything horrible as a result of this medication.

I had severe sharp pains all over my body. Sharp shooting pains in my joints, severe headaches. My entire face was swollen, my eyes bloodshot red and burning. My body still aches after about 2 weeks of recovery. I still feel pressure in my head. I'm on pain medication to ease the pains. Other side effects are dry mouth, nausea and restless sleep. I'll never forget the agonizing pain I went through. Thank God I'm still alive!

I took Bactrim for a urinary tract infection. After I had taken the Bactrim for two days I started having really bad hot flashes. Never have had them before. I was burning up constantly, all day. Sweating on my face and chest. Slight nausea and headaches. Some dry mouth. And just an all over feeling of being tired and not feeling well. I haven't read any postings yet about people feeling hot or running fever, but I really think this is the problem. After 3 days of constantly being hot and sweating, I felt like I was about to go crazy. So I have stopped taking it today. I hope it goes away quick, but I have read it can still take a few days for it to get out of your system. Has anyone else experienced the being hot from taking Bactrim?

Took it for 30 days for prostate infection. Fixed it, but then like an idiot I took Nyquil for a cold/flu which caused enlargement of prostate and subsequently backwash of urine which infected prostate again. Then took Cipro for two weeks, then Flomax to shrink prostate for 1 month. Infection came back. Starting on Bactrim for another 30 days.
When taking Bactrim for first two weeks only had dry-mouth. When I refilled at different Walgreens (this one in Marietta, GA) I immediately got bad headaches. These only lasted a day or two, then back to dry mouth.
Please note: was taking sulfameth/trimethoprim, the GENERIC form of Bactrim.
