I have had 2 days of bactrim and am doing fine with no side effects. I was given amoxicillin for 7 days for sinus infection and became worse with breathing problems, lung inflammation and pneumonia. Feeling much better with bactrim. My mother was unable to take bactrim though and ended up with an allergic burning rash all over her body and had to be treated at er. Seems as though it just depends on the body chemistry and the drug. I have had such a reaction to zpak after taking it when needed for 10 years.
