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!!!

Since I have been on Macrobid I am breaking out in little rashes all over that are very itchy. I have limits to the antibiotics I can take so this is very frustrating. Also having bad headaches constantly. I have to be on a low dose for 3 months so this is gonna suck!

I have been taking Macrobid for approximately four days. I have had increased headaches that won't go away with normal medication dose. I also have had horrible gas...in addition to stomach pain. I have have had increased urination, having to pee constantly. I have been getting up about four times at night, which is worse than before I went to the doctor. I wasn't sure if this was the UTI or the medication? Saw someone else's posting that they had increased urination too. I'll keep taking b/c I don't want the UTI to continue but the med is not fun.

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.

Started Taking Macrobid after for UTI after Bactrim did not help and Cipro made me break out in hives. I've only taken 3 pills and have started getting headaches and waking up with severe neck pain. It's horrible I can hardly turn my head because my neck is so knotted up and stiff. I'm not taking any more because after 3 different antibiotics that have made me feel horrible, I need a break.
