Macrobid and medications

Lucky me- I started MACROBID Christmas eve for a UTI. I have never taken it before and felt nausea that night then the next morning (CHRISTMAS!) when I woke up I felt like I had been out drinking the night before. I had the worst hangover-like headache. I was tied all day, no fun on Christmas day with three kids, and then I took my nightly dose and headache got worse and I felt like I was going to vomit for many hours after that. What a crappy Christmas day. And lovely gas all day too. I am going to call the doctor in the morning to see if I can start something else! I will be careful to read from now on the possible side effects on any medications I get and be aware of what is happening to me!

I was prescribed this awful medication! I took the pill at 7:30 pm, on a full stomach, by 3:00 am my stomach hurt, headache and I have awful body aches! My back especially. I got up to read about this, because obviously my doctor did not tell me. I will not take another, I am going to call the doctor and ask for something else! Very disappointed,with all the medications that could help, this one was given??? Doctor's offer so little information, they write out a prescription then send you on your way!So pathetic and sad!
