Just wondering what dosages of bactrim people are using and what antibiotics and doses they are taking in conjunction with bactrim. I realize you are not MD's and everyone may be different. Thanks.

I took an 800/160 DS tab twice a day. When I added a macrolide and then artemesinin it worked even better.

Bactrim was like a miracle for me.

Right now I'm taking Bactrim and Biaxin.

500mg Biaxin twice a day.

And for some odd reason, I don't know how much Bactrim because the bottle doesn't say how much!

On the Bactrim alone, I feel "normal" for the most part.... then when adding Biaxin, I herx... Not fun at all.
