Sulfamethoxazole - unexpected benefit? My 9 yr old daughter recently broke out in boils, was diagnosed with staph infection and given oral sulfamethoxazole. In addition to quickly healing up her sores, I noticed another benefit. My daughter is usually quite restless during the night, kicking, tossing and grinding her teeth. She often wakes up looking more tired than when she went to bed. After about the third day of taking the sulfamethoxazole, I noticed that she slept soundly and deeply, and far into the morning! That is highly unusual for her. I wonder what attribute of sulfamethoxazole contributes to this wonderful side effect? I'd guess my child would be considered "higly active" although I've had her tested for ADD/ADHD and she was not found to be either. Due to her newfound ability to sleep well, her daytime behaviour is also markedly changed for the better. Can anybody explain this?

[edit] Structure wrong?

The Structure differs from what I found during a brief research. It seems improbable having a C involved in two double bonds and one single bonds--84.148.117.73 13:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
