Macrobid and next morning

THIS STUFF IS TOXIC! Was prescribed by my OB/GYN for UTI. Took 1st dose on Tues nite, then again next morning with food, etc - by that afternoon, I could not get up out of the chair and began running temp of 102F. I had no symptoms before starting this drug. Called Dr., said this is not possible from this drug - could be a virus, so continue taking it. Visited my GP after 3 days of taking this, he said the same, and my liver enzymes are elevated. The more of this I got in my system the worse I got - fever would not go away, intense sweating at night, insomnia, and the worst had to be the body pains in my legs, chest, arms and hips. On the 4th day in, I swear I was dying and was ready to go to the ER. I would rather live with the UTI than this, so I stopped taking them. Lo and behold all the symptoms disappeared within a few hours. Scares me to think what would have happened had I completed the 10 day dosage!!! I have allergies to penicillin and lots of other antibiotics, so my choices are limited, but this one is for sure off the list.

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!

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!

Dont know what the hell is it about this frigging drug;
Took two, only two doses and felt wasted out of my tree; next morning I started to have bery brief, however very sharp little pains right in the center of my chest. Then itching as well. That did it for me. My uti is not cured, of course, however I will do a few extra days discomfort with that BEFORE I ever go on this drug again. That is bloody deadly. Everybody beware; this pill should be removed from the market.
