I will post a link for you showing some peoples reactions to bactrim DS, some of these people also stated they suffered panic attacks caused by the drug.
It is a rare side effect but if other people have experienced it and your feelings of panic are not directly related to anything else then it may well be the Bactrim. Ask your doctor to prescribe something else and if you find that you are having any other serious side effects or allergy like symptoms discontinue use until you can be seen by a medical professional.

I think it could have some effect. I'm no expert, but on all video-games theres the warning about epilepsy sufferers and flashing images. They also advise that you should only play for an hour, then have a fifteen minute break (I'm sure nobody really does this though) They also advise you should be in a well lit room and be as far from the television/monitor as possible. On a more psychological level, maybe the nature of the games is affecting your panic attacks. In games, you have objectives to achieve, often in a tight time constraint. The rushing around, under pressure a lot of the time could be increasing your anxiety levels, causing these panic attacks. I can't offer a solution I'm afraid, maybe try to take the games less seriously if at all possible. Or try playing them on a more casual level, with friends. I hope this helps. Ant

As a practicing doctor for 14 years I didn't face panic attacks as a side effect of an antibiotic. Panic attacks are common in premenoposal syndrome and other hormonal disturbances.

Rarely, but rarely, some medicines are known to have 'side reactions' on some people: some allergic reactions are better known, more widely reported, but some are not so known!

no--panic is caused by your reaction to something--not a drugs reaction to your system--most likely unless it vwas a life threatening real situation ---you probably reacted subconsciously to some circumstance on an emotional level caused by a doting parent frigure who has filled you with their fears all your life --break the mould--be yourself--not your parents

It's not showing as side-effect. Here is a link you can read -- maybe I just missed it.
