"Nasty side effects but very very slowly relieved symptoms. Took many days to get used to side effects. Better than the other antibiotic I seem to be allergic to, though. Nausea, chest pains/anxiety, insomnia, night sweats, headache, dehydration."

"Where do I start, I was feeling so icky and found out I had a double ear infection. My doctor decided to put me on Bactrim. That was the worst medication ever. I've had back pain, dizziness and nausea ever since starting it. The other odd side effect is the nasty perfume taste and smell I keep smelling. "

"Took the IV version in the hospital for 2 days for Mastoiditis. Felt fine but got a really bad itchy and burning feeling "downstairs". Antifungal pills got rid of that. It also cleared up a scalp infection temporarily. Unfortunately, a month later the scalp infection is back. Mastoiditis seems to still be lingering. Had no other adverse reactions that I know of and I am sensitive to pills and medicines."

"This is the only medicine that is a miracle drug! I always use it for ear infection, sinus infection and bronchitis. I am allergic to penicillin and erythromycin. It works very quickly for me."
