Feeling dazed after taking antibiotic
by Mirjana, Apr 29, 2006 12:00AM
I had a horrible reaction to trimethoprim, antibiotic that has 85 different names (most common are septra, bactrim, bactin ect).
After third tablet I felt very sick; physically shaky with a pressure in my head and my chest, couldn't focus, my speech became blurred, felt extremely hot and lost appetite. I stopped taking it but still feeling very dazed (as if something is wrong with my mind) and dehydrated even though 11 days has passed since then. My GP could not think what is wrong with me. She even suggested to have a brain scan.
I tried to find information on a web about feeling dazed after taking antibiotics but there seems to be no available information. I would really appreciate if you could tell me if you had a similar experience of being dazed after taking antibiotics and how long that lasted for?

The cause of your dizziness most likely lies elsewhere. Perhaps the cause is whatever you were taking the antibiotic for and not the antibiotic itself.
after a couple of days of taking them i felt really sick an i had a really tight chest and pains. i cudnt sleep or anythin it was horrible. i was sick and all that came up was green stuff and it tasted disgusting, like a paracetamol or sumthin.
i told doctor and she thought it was strange bcause had taken these before and i was ok. but they didnt seem worried and just told me 2 take 2 a day. im still taking them and are fine.
wat happend wiv u did u have a CT scan?
