THIS STUFF IS TOXIC! Was prescribed by my OB/GYN for UTI. Took 1st dose on Tues nite, then again next morning with food, etc - by that afternoon, I could not get up out of the chair and began running temp of 102F. I had no symptoms before starting this drug. Called Dr., said this is not possible from this drug - could be a virus, so continue taking it. Visited my GP after 3 days of taking this, he said the same, and my liver enzymes are elevated. The more of this I got in my system the worse I got - fever would not go away, intense sweating at night, insomnia, and the worst had to be the body pains in my legs, chest, arms and hips. On the 4th day in, I swear I was dying and was ready to go to the ER. I would rather live with the UTI than this, so I stopped taking them. Lo and behold all the symptoms disappeared within a few hours. Scares me to think what would have happened had I completed the 10 day dosage!!! I have allergies to penicillin and lots of other antibiotics, so my choices are limited, but this one is for sure off the list.
