Topic: Bactrim and Neuropathy

Hi Everyone:

I just started a new pulse that includes Bactrim,

Micobutin and Minocin. I am getting a red face

(flushing), and more importantly tingling in my

fingers and feet. Can't really feel my feet right

now but if you know my current struggle- that isn't

so bad [Frown]

However, I know you do not play

around with neuropathy. Has anyone had this as

a side effect and should I stop. I will call

doc in the am. Any similar experiences. Thanks

for your help!

I struggle with tingling and numbness in both my hands, fingers and right foot. Sometimes in my right calf too.

These are symptoms I had even before starting abx so I don't know if their cause is the same as yours.

I am not on Bactrim -- it nearly killed me the few days I tried it last year. I am currently on IV Rocephin and oral Trimehtoprim and mino.

Thanks for letting me know. I backed down on the dose. We will see what happens. Thanks! Amy
