What Causes Panic Attacks And Diarrhea After Taking A Generic Bactrim?

I just recently was prescribed a generic version of BACTRIM for sinus infection I couldn t get rid of & conditions kept getting worse. I d taken the bactrim 4 tablets over 48 hrs. & had such a reaction that made me act like I was in a panic mode or having an anxiety attack, plus EXTREME diarrhea. How do I list this for future situations where a Dr. might prescribe it for me? I can t really call it an allergic reaction, but I ve NEVER felt that loopy or out of control in my life (67 yrs old) Thanks
