My mother (she’s 50) has been on Bactrim for several years now due to reoccurent UTI caused by a bladder ulcer. What are the major concerns for taking this over the long term (other than bacteria resistant infections) Also she had an episode of tachycardia (160-172) for an hour and the next day she checked her B/P and it was 86/72. Her pulse is usually in the 60’s and her B/P is normally 110/70-ish. Could this have anything to do with her long term Bactrim use? (And yes I already told her to go to the Dr.’s, she is there at this moment…I am just trying to find out for my own information) Thank you everyone who answers.

July 21st, 2010 Dr. Consultation 
I have a bottle of Bactrim I had filled on June 26th, 2009 but there’s not an expiration date on it that I can find… I heard antibiotics take around a year to expire, but I was wondering whether or not I can take them still…
It’s a staph infection. I’m prone to getting them and I have one currently. I’ve had these enough to know when it’s flared up. I’m not over using antibiotics, I just need to know if I can take these meds.
How long do you have to use Amitriptyline for it to start working?
July 11th, 2010 Dr. Consultation 
I have anxiety/depression and really bad insomnia. I was prescribed Amitriptyline to help me through it. I’ve heard that you have to take it for awhile though so your body can get in balance with it before it really starts working. If this is true, how long does one have to take them before they start being effective?
