If anyone can possibly help...
I have a friend who was prescribed Bactrim for a UTI and ended up in the hospital within a day or so. She developed numbness and extreme pain in her arms and legs to the point of not being able to stand. She also became extremely depressed (was already on Lexapro for anxiety/depression). The doctors denied that it was a reaction from the drug, but after two days of testing they couldn't find what was wrong with her. After a little internet investigation, I have found other cases of this kind of reaction. But as far as recovery help, I have yet to find anything other than a short statement about a calcium treatment (because sulfa drugs deplete the body of calcium?). I am wondering about B5 (pantothenic acid), as I read that it helps the body recover from the toxic effects of antibiotics.
Does anyone have any info that could help???
Thanks,
Simus
