have this a a reoccuring thing as only one kidney - works wonders within hours

currently on trimethoprim for a suspected UTI, the pill could be a lil smaller, its very diffuclt to swallow. i have also experienced the overall tiredness and rapid heart rate, dunno if its because the prescription is preventive(my UTI tests were negative, but my doctor put me on antibiotics anyway) and the drug is overwhelming my body or if its just a common side effect. still, lest see how it goes..

I had virtually no energy or endurance.

Please pay attention to the warning of SUN EXPOSURE. I did not, which has resulted in a terrible itchy rash and swelling of the eyes and mouth. I can not express the severity of the warning! Wish I had listened!!!!

The 1 hr before or 2 hrs after food instructions were not on my prescription - I just take it with food avoid nausea. Drug was effective after only 1 dose. Nauseous on and off but bearable. Felt a bit tired overall, lacking energy, loss of appetite and bad taste in mouth! Worth it tho....

I have been on this drup for about a year to clear up my ovaien cycst result from a UTI this drug is expensive to fill ,side affects include headaches,leg cramps and leg tendon pulls out of socket swelling on leg tendon, problem sleeping etc..

i have been taking trimethoprim for acne, i would strongly suggest not to have any waxing treatments whilst taking this drug. i waxed my eyebrows and my lip and took the top layer of my skin off, it was soo painful!

Taking drug for skin boil. Difficult to swallow the chalky pill and experience severe joint pain

The only problem is waiting to take it 1 hour before or 2 after.

This worked within the first day. I had no side effects. Some people may have a minor skin rash, but I would rather deal with that, than have to worry about my tendons tearing.

Excellent for my recurring UTI but has caused significant colon problems (diarrhea 3+ times daily, sometimes without warning), alergic to sulfa drugs so must find somthing else, even though I take probiotics & activia yogurt.

Was put on a 3-day course of Trimethoprim. It seemed to cure my UTI but 3 days later it was back. Suffered AWFUL stomach cramps, headaches, tiredness and general feeling of 'unwell'. Would like to say it was good as it stopped me weeing every 5mins after the 2nd day but I can't stand any type of headache and I sure can't handle chronic stomach pains!!
