Anonymous Sep 19th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Seemed to start helping in the first couple weeks. Cons: Allergic reaction, broke out even worse when I had to stop taking it. Bottom Line: After about a week and a half, this made me break out in hives over my entire body and it gave me a fever. After two days of not taking it, the hives started to go away. And now that I'm off of it, I'm breaking out worse than before. I've also heard that it can cause life-threatening allergic reactions, so pay attention to side effects!

john, new york Sep 4th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: i didnt work Cons: horrible headaches, tiredness, fever, and sore throat Bottom Line: it just didnt work. if u have to decide between accutane and bactrim, go for the accutane instead of wasting ur time with this drug.

Anonymous, Houston, Texas Sep 1st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I used it for five years and it cleared up my skin, but I still got mild breakouts. I used the generic brand and it was inexpensive. Cons: It did not clear up my blackheads (but I have large pores anyways.) My dermatologist made me get monthly blood tests while I was on it to check my cell count. I weened myself off of it, and my skin has broken out like never before. Bottom Line: It works, along with a good skin care regimen. I found the generic brand elsewhere, which was very inexpensive and I no longer was required get monthly blood tests as prescribed by my former dermatologist (not the smartest thing to do, but it cut costs for me.) I will not go back on it even though it worked, because being on an antibiotic that long cannot be healthy for my system in the long-run.

Pros: i tried doxycyline, erythromycin, 2 courses accutane...this works the best. i use it with differin and clindamycin 1% Cons: still a few pimples occasionally... Bottom Line: it works, not the first line for acne treatment, but much better than the typical treatments!! may be more difficult to get your derm to prescribe it.

-, Toronto, Canada Aug 18th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: cleared up face to an extent (blackheads, 1-2 whiteheads, around 3-4 really bad breakouts during the year) Cons: long-term problems (liver) HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE breakouts once you're off!!! Bottom Line: if you're willing to risk your longterm health for clear skin that won't last, take it!! Recommended: Yes Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Andrea, San Diego, CA Aug 12th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: About 6months ago I started breaking out severely! I tried everything, but nothing seemed to work, not even accutane. About 2 weeks ago I started taking Bactrim. My face is completely clear and cyst free! Cons: none for me Bottom Line: you MUST give it a try! I'm amazed at how quick this medication worked. Now Im following this regiment that is keeping my face clear: 1) taka Bactrim 2)wash face (am and pm) with Neutrogena oil free acne wash 3) Use Benxoyl Peroxide (am and pm), followed by a retinol lotion, I use Murad skin perfecting lotion. 4)Also, use a night cream that will help with the scars. I use DDF Nutrient K plus. I also found the most amazing make-up that will hide anything!!! you have to get it! Estee Lauder Maximun cover foundation OR, for something a little lighter, try Estee Lauder Double Matte. All I know is that it is worth the investment! It really boosted my self-esteem! so please try! Recommended: Yes Usage: Andrea has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Leo, Australia Aug 6th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Yup it sure cleared up body acne and facial lumps and bumps! Cons: Red rash that appears out of nowhere, I cant sleep! This stuff keeps me awake cos my body just aches after 2 weeks into this, im on the 800mg dosage. And man do my joints and muscles ache, headaches lots of headaches and you pretty much feel like poo Bottom Line: As a body builder, im currently fighting acne due to triggered hormones produced from all the exercise im doing. This stuff works but man do you feel like its working against you especially in the gym. Recommended: No Usage: Leo has used this item for a few weeks.

Kayla, Mississippi Aug 1st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Worked better than anything I've ever used! Cleared up acne on face, neck, chest, and back within days. Cons: As soon as I stopped taking it, I broke out worse than before. I also think it gave me headaches. Bottom Line: It's good for some time with clear skin, and works well. But I don't think its safe to take for too long, and as soon as you stop taking it your acne gets worse. Recommended: Yes Usage: Kayla has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Rachel, Virginia Jul 23rd, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It worked well, I have only been taking the product for a week. Cons: I broke out in a rash and is now suffering from a sore throat. Bottom Line: DO NOT TAKE, this medication it is very dangerous. I have never had a allergic reaction to anything in my life until I was introduced to Bactrim. If you want a great face, a bad rash and a horrible sore throat this is the drug for you. Recommended: No Usage: Rachel has used this item for about a week.
