Macrobid and flu

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!!!

I was prescribed Macrobid for a UTI I didn't even know I had. I toke my first dose on Sunday night, and woke up with severe flu like symptoms. I never call out sick at work. (once in 10 years) To day is Tuesday and I still feel so bad, extreme body aches, pains, dizziness, lack of energy, sneezzing, coughing, mucus, cannot sleep. I called my doctor immediately...my Dr. is on holiday, and no response from another physician. I am going to immediate care and stop taking Macrobid before hives and rash set in.

I was given the generic of Macrobid. First day I experienced nausea, indigestion, gas and diarrhea. Severe headaches, dizziness and now started throwing up! I've been on it only 3 days, but I am throwing it away..I feel so horrible, and very weak, almost flu like. Terrible drug, don't take it. I am just praying I don't get the long-term side affects I've read here.

I took Macrobid for 2 days for a UTI and the whole time I experienced tiredness, headaches, nausea, dehydration, and flu-like aches and pains. I called the doctor on the second day and she told me to stop taking it and prescribed a different antibiotic.

Took it for 5 1/2 days threw the rest away.
Having EXTREME nausea, headaches,flushing, horrible leg pain,stomach fluttering.
I feel overall sluggish and flu like. I would rather have the UTI , I feel WORSE since taking the medication so I discontinued and hope that I dont end up like some of the other people I've read about who had effects for up to a year!!!
