"Prescribed Septra DS for kidney Infection. I didn't have any side effects until the 4th day in, vomiting orange liquid, stomach upset & pains, lower back pain, side pains (both sides), super weak, super dizzy, light headed..I am so tired and I keep having stomach spasms..insomnia..I was almost wanting to go to the hospital..but I hate hospitals so that's not happening. I nearly also passed out well walking. My pet dog is looking at me funny. Like I made a mistake taking the pills, he's right I did..smart dog. Septra is horrible! I keep telling docs to prescribe Ciprofloxacin because of 0 side effects but no one listens..so they give me this SEPTRA DS stuff..ugh.."

"Had ache in back/side under rib, remembered that it was symptom of kidney infection, left urine sample at doctor's office immediately, test was positive for infection, doctor (who knows me well) called in this antibiotic and I began making immediate progress within 24 hours. I was careful to take the full course of the medicine without stopping."
