Macrobid and sleep

I started Macrobid last Tuesday coupled with Perks for the pain. I have finished the few days of perks that I was given and have started noticing severe leg pain and insomnia ( I cannot sleep due to extreme body pain and sweating.) along with sharp pains in my stomach and very loose stools. Im calling my Pharmacist tomorrow to see what he says. After reading what everyone else wrote, Im starting to get scared.

Have been to the ER twice - both times on death's door. Blood pressure dropped dangerously low so I ended up in ICU both times. Liver function was elevated. Blisters on hands and face. Can't sleep at night. Feel exhausted. Got so sick that all major organs were shutting down. Doctor's did not realize that I might have an allergic reaction to this drug until I mentioned it the 2nd time in the hospital.

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 was prescribed generic Macrobida for UTI and developed pain in my legs and hips within a couple of days of starting it, then headache and feeling lousy, next severe constipation, then anxiety and sleeplessness (I was unable to sleep all night one night). The constipation, anxiety and sleeplessness were so severe and so unusual for me that I decided to look online to see if they might be related to the antibiotic since I hadn't changed anything else lately and found that other people have had the same problems and realized that the body aches, general malaise, and headache was probably related as well. My choices of antibiotic therapy are limited due to allergies and bacterial resistance issues so I will try to tough it out but wanted other people to be aware of some of the problems this medication has caused me.

I have been taking Macrobid for almost a week and have Extreme nausea also and the worse case of Diarehea I have ever had in my life, I have lost 8 Lbs in a week. I have had very little sleep because even at night I am waking up to use the restroom between 5-8 times. I have tried to talk to my Dr but all the responce I get is that its a normal side effect and after a few days the side effects will deminish. Urgh! frustrating!!
