"i started on trimethoprim after taking a variety of different antibiotics for several years including erythromycin and lymecycline. 
i have been taking trimethoprim for three months now, and have halved my dosage after seeing an improvement. 
my skin has remained relatively clear (bar one or two spots) and i presume there hadn&#039;t been a growth of resistant bacteria since my skin has not worsened after lowering the dose (unlike other antibiotics i have taken). 
i&#039;m giving it 9 because i haven&#039;t gone off it completely yet, and don&#039;t know what the result of that would be."
