I’ve been taking them for approximately 2 weeks now and I don’t see any difference and instead my acne is getting worse, more breakouts and more cysts.

“As far as acne treatments go that are effective AND affordable Bactrim is a God send. After being on this drug now for 6 years my severe acne has almost been reduced to zero.. but some body acne here and there, but this drug has been a miracle..”

As long as you don't pick and touch your problem spots then it should work nicely. I did a lot of research from natural remedies to medications, but boy nothing ever worked like this one has, and still is working for me. My doc tried to tell me to stop, so I did for 3 months.

I have had this same response on other antibiotics” I haven't experienced any side effects!” Couldn't have been more perfect. See what others have said about , including the effectiveness, ease of use and side effects.

So I take a break & use it at the first sign of trouble. Even those scars I had at my back's just gone.

“I took Bactrim for my cystic acne for the first time a few days ago.

I couldn't be more pleased. This one Bactrim was by far the best. I really couldn’t believe that my cystic acne was disappearing right before my eyes.

While these reviews might be helpful, they are not a substitute for the expertise, knowledge and judgement of healthcare practitioners.Compare all 323 medications used in the treatment of Would recommend talking to your doctor about this for acne.”

Can also affect the bones and may lead to. “I was prescribed this a few months ago, I took the first day's pills and had a HORRENDOUS headache, but I'd taken many medications before it and had pretty similar experiences and the side effects usually dropped after a week or two.

I stopped taking it after one year but then experienced significant acne on my head and chest.

I honestly like the medication. I don’t recommend anyone to take this. If you are not getting results with the tetracycline family, bactrim can do the trick.

So i kept at it with this stuff for another 2 1/2 weeks, and still the same headaches. :)” I just hate having a really dry throat.

@madi6698 I am wondering if your acne has cleared up now, I have also been on bactrim for a month now and have had no effect on my acne. I wish I could have found out about this drug sooner. My skin feels smooth and looks alive and glowing. It gave me false hope and knowing the struggles of acne I hope that know one has to go through this. Zero known side effects.” I went to my PCP, and tried benzoyl peroxide cleanser. And, once again a fever. I've been on it for a little more than a year.

“Dermatologist put me on Bactrim DS, to be taken twice a day with food.

Two days later he woke up and his eyes were swollen, the day after that he woke up and his entire face was swollen, we went back to prompt care and they transferred us to the Emergency room.

Recently went on Bactrim been on this for about 3 days and wow let me tell you I feel real shitty, the body aches are painful , the nausea really comes and goes all throughout the day, no rash which is a good sign but if this feeling doesn’t simmer down I won’t be able to continue this:( doesn’t look like there is any real solution for acne out there, my self esteem is so low and I feel helpless. By age 30 I was getting deep painful cystic pimples. you asked if the doctor knew at the beginning of treatment if a virus was the cause and the answer is maybe not. I went to bed very early, slept until morning. “When I was in high school, people would notice how great my skin was. We both talked about how I will have to get on accutane if this didn't work. I was on Accutane for about 6 months and that worked while I was taking it but not so much after I stopped. So scared to try accutane due to the hair loss reviews ... that terrifies me.

My dermotologist prescribed me this specifically for my back acne but thank goodness it cleared up my face and chest! One side effect I would say is that I felt very tired and sleepy.
