Can Rifampin & Bactrim be taken at the same time?

I am supposed to start taking rifampin once a day and bacterium 2x a day. I'm just wondering how to space it out. The bactrim I will take every 12 hours but wanted to know if I can take the rifampin at any time? Together with bacterium?

I am taking both right now and at the same time.

I don't notice ill effects but felt like my heart was pounding a couple of nights.  I Googled that and some people have issues with Bactrim like that.

I noticed I was less tired when I forgot one day to take the Bactrim also.

I have no stomach issues so far really but one person advised waiting maybe an hour to take the second antibiotic if you have issues.
