I had intense stomach pain and diarrhea after one dose. Called Dr. on call, she said it was a separate virus from my UTI, and to continue doses. After last dose 2 days ago, I broke out in terrible hives that itch uncontrollably, and looks like I have a chemical burn behind my ears and scalp. I thought it was bedbugs from a hotel, until my eye swelled up. Went to Dr. today, she said it might be allergic reaction to the Macrobid, but was weird that it came after all doses. I have also been sleeping for the past two days with NO energy...

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 recently started Macrobid and my right hand started itching and it broke out in hives. On the fourth day I forgot to take the medication and my hand felt a little better, however when I started again it got worst! I am stopping Macrobid. It is awaful and the doctor did not say anything about this. I had gone back for my hand three days later after starting Macrobid and the doctor did not say anything about side effects!

I was prescribed Macrobid for UTI. I had taken it for seven days and started itching like crazy and also hives . That was a month ago and still itching eveyday. I have to take benedyl everyday . Went back to dr. was told it will go away in 6 mths. I can't believe this drug is still on the market. The itching and hives are driving me crazy!

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.
