Side Effects for Trimeth/sulfa (sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim)

Took this drug twice, the first time I experienced diarrhea anytime I ate chocolate and ended up with yeast infections all the time. The second time I took it I didn't have the diarrhea but ended up with a horrible yeast infection again that refused to go away.

This drug works wonders for my skin, it clears it up really fast without drying it. Overall I was very happy with how it made my skin look but I can't live with continuous yeast infections. I already seem to be very prone to them, maybe that's why I get them with this drug, but whenever I take this I can't seem to get rid of the infection as easily as normal. I would recommend it to others who suffer from acne (this is the only thing that actually works that good for me) but women who take it need to make sure that they are very careful in regards to the infections.

worked very well to control hypertension without lowering so much that it caused energy problems

-bad heartburn-the seizures did not stop; in fact, 2 weeks after I started taking it, I had 2 seizures in one night and the start of a seizure the next (I fought the third seizure off). On Topamax, I had no seizures for over 9 months.

I was initially given Lovastatin for borderline high cholesterol (222) after I went through menopause. Within two days I started to fell queasy and very tired. I continued to take it for two months and never felt well. My doctor switched me to Pravachol as an alternative when I complained about side effects. I had only taken this medication three days when I noticed severe head pain on the top of my head (like it was going to explode!) and facial pain. A day later my BP which had always been very good shot up to 182/102, I developed nausea, pain in my left arm and diarrhea. Went to the ER and NO cause for this could be found. I quit taking Pravachol that day and the next day my BP was lower and, on the third day without it, my BP was 114/80. I haven't had a headache since and feel SO MUCH BETTER. I am going to lose 30 lbs., start doing Pilates again and keep taking fish oil, olive oil, and eating avocados which have brought my cholesterol and triglyceride levels down before meno

The gel was more convenient for me because it didn't cause the side effects the pill did but I'm second guessing the gel now as well.

It didn't help me much with my neck pain but got rid of my tension headaches.

endometriosis, extreme bleeding

Nausea, Loss of Appetite, Headache, Anxiousness.

I guess this works for some people but for me it didnt, your problems are still there after you finish taking it so you still have to sort them out.Was also told by doctor that prozac had little side effects and wish I found this site before starting them, my advice is to carefully consider if you really need them before taking them.A good family helped me overcome more than my tablets ever did.

sinus congestion/partial occlusion

slightly high feeling for awhile, then increased urination (especialy at night).
