Can confirm. Took three doses and it made me felt like shit. Stopped, went back to the doctor again, different doctor was in, and it was shingles and not bacterial.
I got lucky.

Edit for context:
Trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is an antibiotic associated with rare respiratory adverse drug reactions... Here we describe 14 previously healthy children and young adults exposed to TMP-SMX before the development of fulminant respiratory failure, potentially reflecting a previously unappreciated, life-threatening ADR to TMP-SMX.
