Tuesday Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Last week I had to have an incision & drainage for an infected insect bite on my leg that turned out to be staph. I was prescribed Bactrim (Sulfamethoxazole) for the infection. Even before I went in to have the infection looked at, I noticed that my symptoms were acting up. It has gotten worse since I started the antibiotic. I have been incredibly anxious, my nerves are raw, my palpitations have started back up and I am constantly queasy and lightheaded. I had some Phenergan prescribed for vertigo awhile back but I can't seem to find it Has anyone else had experience with this antibiotic? Any suggestions on dealing with the symptoms?

icesktr189 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I didnt tolerate bactrim... I was given it a couple months ago for a UTI and I knew on the first day I wouldnt be able to take it. They switched me over to Cirpo and I did a lot better on that. However, I wouldnt just stop taking it because staph can be pretty serious..hope you find relief soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
