Haven't personally used it but if you Google reviews on the product is seems like there's a lot of seizures occurring as a result of using it.

We're trying the comfortis... So far, so good. The vet is impressed with their customer service. We'll keep using it for a couple more months before we decide whether or not to stay with it.

I have only recently switched our dogs over to Trifexis and have been happy with the results. They had previously been taking a combination of Comfortis (fleas) and Heartgard Plus (heartworms & intestinal parasites). Normally I am hesitant to switch to a product that is new to the market, but am comfortable with the combination of active ingredients, both in efficacy and safety.
Our vet dermatologist recommended Comfortis to us 4+ years ago. We live in an arid climate at a higher elevation, in other words a place where fleas can't even complete a lifecycle, but we still had to deal with flea exposure since we travel to California frequently as do our neighbors with their own dogs. All it took was one flea to hitch a ride back (even on a neighbor's dog) for our boy with flea allergy dermatitis to start having problems. With the frequency of bathing and swimming for the dogs, the spot-on treatments weren't as effective as we hoped. We always make sure to give the Trifexis tablets with their breakfast and have not had any adverse issues to report (same routine we followed with Comfortis).

I know this thread is many months old but wondering if anyone has an update on giving Trifexis. I gave one dose and with 30 minutes he threw up his dinner and laid around and was not comfortable the rest of the night. Nothing too severe but I am not going to continue with Trifexis.
