I've been having pretty bad acne and was prescribed sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim. it cleared the pimples. but will it help get rid of the scars?

Not likely: It is not likely to help with the scars. Se a Dermatologist or other doctor and let them see if lasers, micordermabrasion or something else might help with your acne scars.
