i stoppped taking these 3 months ago 24th of october i think and i feel miles better but my symtoms started on these tablets and have stayed to a degree. .
i had anxiety before i took them but not as bad as when i was on them i went like crazy and had the most awful panic attacks . i also get bad anxiety of metrodozole aswell i new this and thats why my doctor gave me these instead but for the time been it seems they may have ruined my life the infection i was given them for and i was give a high dose was then found to not even have a infection so i took them for no reason .

HOWEVER, my mother was given them again for a urine infection and she had a severe reaction to them, erupting into red itchy spots everywhere.

i have been to doctors about anxiety the hospital and doctors said these tablets rarely cause side effects so nobody thinks its linked but i was on a good path before i took them so i belive they caused all of this mess and somehow have damaged me although i dont know that for sure but its just my belief thanks again

I stopped taking a 10 day x 2 pills/day of Sulfamethoxa 800mg/ TMP 160mg (Septra DS/Bactrim DS)
While on the medication, on the second day there was massive fluid retention in the back of the neck area and very light headaches. Also, my lower back pain which is usually mild pain, felt much worse.
Around Day 7, oddly my vision started to get better than it had been in the past, which was odd as I supposedly has no bacterial infection in the eyes or head.
After stopping on day 10, I experienced something tonight simlare to yourself. About 24 hours after stopping the last pill, tonight I feel odd while breathing and almost a heaviness to breathing which feels in the center of the chest or near the heart and I hope it did not mess up my heart muscle too much. I wonder if that is why there is a warning for asmatics not to take the antibiotic?
Addiionally, my throat became lightly irritated after stopping as well. I can see how this would cause a panic attack or heart rate to rise when you feel like you are not taking a normal breath.
One slalvation may be a CPAP machine, for people with sleep issues, that can assist in postive pressure while sleeping into the lungs. I do hope this side effect is temporary and I will work on getting good bacteria in the body (probiotcs) and more exercise.
Thanks for sharing.

I had the same heart palpation muscle spasms and even developed acid reflux which is calm 95%. I had pain in my bones and back pain. Forced my doctor to check my vitamins and my vid D was only 15. So started supplementing with vitamin d. Magnesium( that sorted out my muscle spasms and twitching plus the heart palpations) vit k2 only twice every week and a oral spray of b12 as I haste taking pills. My anxiety has eased off so much. Deffiency in vitamins cuses many problems including anxiety. So look into it. And hope you feel better x
