I had an ear infection two weeks ago and I was put on an antibiotic known as Bactrim/Septra (which contains Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim). Today is my last dose. Is it fine if I drink alcohol the day after (24 hours)?
How long should I wait to drink after taking Bactrim (Sulfamethoxazole & Trimethoprim)?

I was prescribed Paxil but not so sure they should be taken together, even though the dose of amitriptyline is low.

October 19th, 2010 Dr. Consultation 
Ya 12 years, for headaches.I’ve been having side effects for years now and recently scary side effects. I take 100MG a day. Since I started taking them I’ve gotten these tiny red spots all over my body and they keep coming. The scary effects are anxiety, tingling around lips and fingers. My vision goes weird like I’m in a dream. I get light headed and I can’t think right. Simple things I don’t know. So I get scared and panic. I believe that all these symptoms are from the Amitriptyline. So I want off. Will it take longer like some of you?

Been on this stuff for 9 days now have one more dose to take. How long after finishing the dosage of Bactrim should one wait till having a beer. I’m not an alcoholic (never more than one drink with a meal), just traveling through Portugal and would love a beer or glass of wine with dinners.

September 29th, 2010 Dr. Consultation 
I started taking amitriptyline a while back for nerve pain, it apparently doubles an anti-depressant and about a month after i started it i started sweating, a lot. i know sweating is a side effect of the drug, but i sweat when i go to do anything and it doesnt seem normal cuz im used to barely sweating ever. just wondering if neone else has experienced the same thing or if my symptom is just severe.
