Got an RX for this yesterday. I have taken a total of 2 pills (100mg dose). I have had an awful headache since the first dose, nausea and now my neck hurts a lot. Also first dose made me very drowsy and slightly dizzy, napped for 4 hours after first dose. Not taking another one of these ever again. Would rather have the UTI. Hope they can give me something that isn't awful. Why would they even prescribe this? Lucky I found this site because I thought maybe it was just me overreacting

I have been taking this drug for almost 4 days, 2x a day at 100mg, i have UTI too, i have been feeling weak, terrible headache, nausea, backache and my eyes would be sore. i just don't think this drug is useful at all. And im 3 months pregnant, my morning sickness went off a week ago but when i started using it nausea is terrible plus backache. i agree this drug needs to be out of the market.

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!

After taking only 2 100 mg. tablets, I had a fever of 103, body aches and nausea. I attributed this to the bladder infection and continued the medication. After 5 tablets, I began to itch from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet and stopped taking the medication. I returned to hospital and blood tests revealed abnormal liver functions.
Please do not take this medication. It should be removed from the market.

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 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.
