So recently I have been taking Bactrim for a UTI (which they found a mild MRSA in,hence giving me a sulfa drug I presume.) Anywho,I have been taking it for 5 days. I'm planning on going to the doctor tomorrow to stop taking this drug because I'm itching and burning all over,I didn't take the drug today because I KNOW its causing this itching feeling-even my mom is allergic to sulfa-based drugs. However,my problem right now is that,I don't want this to be the beginning of something serious- such as Steven Johnsons Syndrome. I don't want to take this drug anymore out of fear that something serious is going to happen if I keep taking it.
I've done some looking up on dr google and it says that Bactrim takes 3 days to flush out of your system.
Is SJS something that happens even if you stop taking the drug? I know I say that I'm scared a lot but honestly I'm getting very very upset and I keep looking at SJS and its making me really scared.
