Macrobid and pills

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

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.

this medication should never have been approved by the FDA. Along with the symptoms I've read about on this site, I also had swollen glands behind my ear, severe muscle pain, was so tired, it took every bit of energy just to get up and walk to the bathroom. I quit after 3 pills, no more for me.

after two pills woke up in middle of night with fever, severe headache, body ache, dizziness....saw doctor he said to stop taking it...still felt sick went to ER was dehydrated from sweating through 3 pajama outfits during the night. The UTI felt much better than the adverse side effects of this medication...I felt like I was dieing!!!Never again.
