Pros:

easier than using a system such as Proactiv

Cons:

awkwardly large pill, takes ages to see results

I don't have cystic acne, only whiteheads, but I have a ton of them. sulfa- made my acne the worst its ever been in the 6 years ive had it, but eventually let up. ive yet to see real results, but i'm still hoping. also, the pill is breakable, so split it in half and just take both halves separately- much less pain that way :)

Pros:

Clears up skin, its amazing, a dream I waited too long for...

Cons:

You can be allergic to it...

I've been taking it for 3 weeks and I think I might be allergic to it since I've developed a rash but it's in the same area I touched the cat and I'm allergic to cats. So I'm not sure if it was the medicine or not but if your not allergic it'll be the best. It's been the best for me...

Pros:

Unfortunately, I have cyste acne also and I am allergic to amoxicyln and tetricycline and Doxycylin worked for me for about a year and wore off after that. My Derm put me on Bactrim and I've been on it for two years now and is the best thing for me.

Cons:

When I first took bactrim I did get a little nausiated, so I started taking it when I eat and now I have no problems and it works great.

Great option for those people allergic to other antibiotics. May need to take with food. Very good at clearing up cyst acne.

Pros:

Easy to take
No nausea

Cons:

Small rash on wrists (similar to tiny mozzie bites)

Got sunburnt very easily

Within a couple of days of starting a course of Bactrim DS, the skin on my back started clearing up and I do not get large papules anymore. However, it seems to be targeting the back more than the face which is a bit of a shame really.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Experienced severe allergic reactions and was hospitalized. My spleen and liver became abnormally large, my body temperature fluctated (head was hot, feet was cold) resulting in seizure-like body-shaking, and I broke into a rash (possibly hives).

I almost died 2x; now that I think of it, I wished I sued my doctor. Please be extremely cautious, and remember that you know you're own body better than your doctor.
