Trouble with bactrim?

I have taken Bactrim for quite a long time now. No noticable problems, but quite honestly unless I go into an allergic shock or something. I do know that the terrible under the skin pain acne I get disappears as long as I am on it!

Marci,
Yes, Bactrim is a Sulfa drug. They have a mark on my chart to avoid the usage of Sulfa drugs.

On the note of nausea, I do get nausea with Cipro. I was only commenting on the nausea with Bactrim. I have to take Cipro with something (even crackers) in my stomach or else I get nausea/vomiting. I have thrown up lots of times from the Cipro.

I was on Bacrtrim when I was 8 or so and I got hives all over, a high fever and vomitting. They've never given it to me since.
However, the first 24 hours of any/all IV meds I get a high fever. I've always been that way.
