Macrobid and antibiotic

34 year old woman with UTI. I was placed on Macrobid and this is my hird day taking it. I was feeling sooo bad that i started doing searches and found this site and Im happy I did I thought I was crazy. extreme nausea (feels like morning sickness) the thought of any food makes me ill, headaches, sharp stomach pains, extreme fatigue, I generally feel like I have a terrible flu without a fever. I have never had symptoms like this before while taking an antibiotic. I feel so drained that I've been taking 3-4 hour naps during the day. Will call doctor to change prescription. I would rather suffer with the UTI than this!!!

LOL - I just started taking this med and was starting to think I'm pregnant (which would NOT be good!). Nausea, slight burning in abdominal area (like implantation) and headache, heartburn. I have to say I'm kinda relieved it's just this medication!!! Was prescribed for UTI and didn't want an antibiotic that would compromise my birth control so was put on this.

Macrobid was the 3rd antibiotic I was prescribed for a UTI because the side effects of the others were so bad. Took 1 pill in the p.m., woke the next morning with the worst nausea and pain in my neck and shoulders. By the end of the day my lymph nodes were swollen, could hardly move my head. Stayed home the next day I was so sick. The "cure" was worse than the UTI!

I've been taking Macrobid for almost 2 days now for a UTI and I now have severe, burning, watery diarrhea, stomach pains that almost feel like extreme heartburn, back pain, nausea and recently tonight I have just began spotting. I am 2 months pregnant and I am pissed! If I miscarry and this medication turns up to be the reason why, god help me because my husband and I have been trying to have a baby since last year.

I have been taking Macrobid for almost a week and have Extreme nausea also and the worse case of Diarehea I have ever had in my life, I have lost 8 Lbs in a week. I have had very little sleep because even at night I am waking up to use the restroom between 5-8 times. I have tried to talk to my Dr but all the responce I get is that its a normal side effect and after a few days the side effects will deminish. Urgh! frustrating!!
