Macrobid and stomach

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.

I took one pill and ended up in ER with pain so bad through chest, back and stomach that I could not move. My liver levels were off the chart (10X higher than norm), causing my doc to call on Monday after she got the ER triage report. nobody believed it was the macrobid at the ER, and even my doc was skeptical until she looked at my blood test results from 2 mos prior and saw that indeed my liver levels are normally fine. Confirmed with a test that showed them coming back down over the course of a month. Then she found out that a side effect is hepatitis. gee makes perfect sense. why listen to me? Had I been physically able to finish course of treatment, my liver would have been destroyed.

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!

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!!
