Hi everyone,

Recently went to the dr for many swollen lymph nodes in my neck that have not gone down for months. Got some blood drawn & did a urinalysis test that came out positive for a UTI. They prescribed me Bactrim DS to take twice a day for 7 days. I'm freaking out! I've read the worst horror stories with this specific antibiotic all over the internet. From severe allergic reactions to bad N* & V*. Many people also get fevers from it & I'm afraid they'll think the fever is from something else when it's really from the antibiotic. Scary thing is, most people get these symptoms after the 3-4th day of taking it. I don't know what to tell my doctor to switch me to a new one if I haven't even tried it.

Anyone ever take Bactrim DS & was okay with it? It's a HUGE pill & I'm literally having the worst anxiety about putting it in my body.
