I took this drug for 2 days. I stopped immediately when I started getting a headache, dizzy, and stomach aches. It didn't even remotely help my skin infection, probably because I couldn't take it for more than 2 days. Really horrible side effects. I do not recommend this drug at all.

I noticed this before bed and was going to call the offoce in the morning. I woke up at 3 am with hematomas in my mouth. I went to the er and while there I developed petechiae all over my body. I was admitted to the hospital because my platelets were down to 2000 which means I could have had spontaneous hemmorhaging in the brain. In hospital for 5 days to get my platelets to higher levels through transfusions of an expensive substance to fix my immune system. Then on steroids to keep them up. Almost a year later I am fine...but very scary!

Bactrim ALMOST KILLED ME! I was BLEEDING THROUGH MY SKIN, OUT OF MY EYES, NOSE, MOUTH AND EVERY OTHER ORIFICE! It caused my body to attack itself! My immune system attacked the platelets in my blood. The condition is called thrombocytopenia and there is NO CURE for this PERMANENT AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER! It never helped with my infection either! I wish I could sue!

I have a strong tolerance for most medicine, but this drug made me so sick. I truly thought I would have to go to the ER. I only took two of the pills in one day (10 hours apart) and my system was so messed up. Terrible stomach cramps and pains. Had to spend the day laying down. Symptoms went on for a good two days. I think this drug should be illegal. Don't take it!!
