It was recommend I take 100mg daily to help combat the frequency of the UTI. I began this regimen 3 years ago and except for the one time I ran out of my Rx for Trimethoprim I have not had any recurrences of the UTI. Since it is usually included with Bactrim and other sulfa-based drugs (which I am very sensitive to) I felt like it would certainly be worth the effort to try. I only wish WalMart had it on their $4 generic list as it can be quite pricey even though it is a generic name drug. Trimethoprim has been a blessing for me. I have had to side effects whatsoever while taking this drug.

I have a severe allergic reaction to this drug. I now wear a allergy bracelet. Even half a tablet my mouth swells to a point where I cannot eat and I suffer from extreme itching in personal areas of my body. I need huge doses of steriods and takes a week to where I can start to feel relief.

On a psychological level it left me extremely panicked and anxious but in a way I was aware was chemical too, very disturbing. During the night my skin became so hot I lay on the sofa downstairs and concentrated on breathing slowly as it effected my breathing and I got bad cheat pains...stopped taking them after two tablets. Was meant to take 3 a day for 7 days....never touching them again!
