| 1 | Bladder Infection | Severe nausea and headache, very weak and tired, lightheaded | Was prescribed this medication for bladder infection and after first dose noticed a touch of nausea - second dose was early morning and by mid-morning was extremely sick to my stomach with a nasty headache which progressively worsened then began to tremble with extreme weakness. Called doc immediately and was advised I was having allergic reaction to medication. | F | 36 | 1 days | 3/27/2007 | 1 | UTI | Chills, shaking, racing heart rate while resting, nausea, aches and pain all over body, tightness in chest, mild cough... This medication was pretty evil for me... Could barely walk, got no sleep...I only took 2 doses... | F | 36 | 1 days | 2/13/2012 | 1 | Uti | 2 hours after first dose 104.3 fever, chills, numbness in feet, extreme fatigue. | F | 36 | 1 days 100 | 2/15/2012 | 1 | UTI (pregnant) | Nausea/vomiting, stomach pain, muscle aches, weakness, heart flutters | Granted, this is all complicated by my pregnancy, but I feel so ill I want to cry all day long. I can't eat any solid foods. I feel very ill in all ways. No diarrhea, but like I said, I haven't eaten anything. I wish my doc's office was open so I could ask her what to do. I feel so terrible. I can't function. I just sit in bed all day long because I'm too ill to move. I never even felt the alleged UTI they said I had in the first place! I hate this stuff an want to be off of it NOW. | F | 36 | 100 2X day | 4/24/2010 | 1 | UTI | I had aches and pains like the flu with chills. Eventually I had hotflashes with a low grade fever. I had tightness in my chest. If I tried to take a deep breath, I would have to cough. I was lethargic and dizzy. I had a miserable headache, and I was sensitive to noise and light. I felt like I was possibly going to have a stroke. | This was the worst experience in my life. They need to take this drug off of the market immediately. The risk is too great. | F | 36 | 10 days 100MG 2X day | 5/6/2010 | 1 | UTI | Nausea, Dizzines to the point that I fainted, cramps, fatigue, chills, vertigo, headache | I was never allergic to any medications, this is the first time I experience something like this. I have been drinking lots of cranberry juice and water and has help with the pain. I called the pharmacy to put an alert in my file and call my doctor to request a change of antibiotic. HORRIBLE! I was sick all the Sunday, it was very scary. This is not a safe medicine to take specially if you are pregnant. NOT RECommended at all..... | F | 36 | 1 days 100MG 2X day | 1/3/2011 | 1 | UTI | High BP, nausea, weakness, dizziness, rapid heart rate, rash at hands and feet. | I will never take this drug again. I'd rather take AZO for life than deal with these symptoms. This is a horrible medication. I have never had a reaction to any drug. I have completed all the drugs, but I still feel faint and have a rapid heart rate. I'm paging my doctor. | F | 36 | 7 days 100 mg 2X day | 11/30/2010 | 1 | UTI | Lower abdominal pain, severe back pain, feeling achy, night sweats, chills, nausea, loss of appetite | After just one day of taking Macrobid I felt like I was getting a stomach bug or flu.

EKG changes, racing heart. | Side effects continue 1 month after treatment was stopped, I've seen a cardiologist, 1 urgent care visit, I primary care visit, 2 ER visits. No one has helped! If you've experienced this, how long has it taken for you to recover? What has helped? | F | 36 | 7 days 100mg 2xad | 6/14/2018 | 1 | i have urinary tract infection | Drowsiness,tiredness,gas,loss of appetite,mild diarrhea,nausea. | It doesn't work there's still burning when I pee plus my vagina is gets very irritated when I put on clothes or standing up for long periods of time.

I will be be taken it again that's for sure | F | 36 | 2 days 100mg | 7/21/2016 | 1 | UTI | At the morning of day four I experienced racing heart and red welts that itched. Stopped taking it after calling dr. Now we are a week later since stopping and my neck has been killing me. Both sides under ears. It's also stiff. I'm still having racing heart from time to time too. | Never take this! | F | 36 | 3 days 100 | 7/30/2016 | 1 | UTI | Relief of UTI symptoms after 2nd dose; however, this was accompanied by muscle and joint aches and stiffness, fever, nausea, marked fatigue, dry cough, shortness of breath. | Have taken macrobid before without issues, but the nurse told me it isn't uncommon for reactions to worsen with repeated use (likely I had at least some mild fatigue before but ignored it). I will not be taking this drug again, and was rather disconcerted at the severity of my reaction to it. I felt like I had the flu. | F | 36 | 1 days 100 MG 2X day | 3/12/2015 | 1 | Uti | I was sick to my stomach on the 2nd day very nauseated & stomach pain. I have never had allergic reaction to any other antibiotic. But it was the 3rd night as I broke out with rash I was up all night very itchy all over from head to toe including scalp,ears,my left ear felt like I was getting an ear infection. But the rash & welts were so itchy & it spread to my chest & down to my legs behind my knees. My doctor recommended that I stop it right away. The palm of my hands are itchy & swollen along with my ankles & feet. I would rather urinate frequently then to have this problem. As per my doctor I am now taking Benadryl 25mg 3 times a day. I have stopped the macrobid for 4 days & I am still having the symptoms of red itchy patches that burn all over my chest & neck & legs & feet & hands. | Macrobid is poison & should be banned & never prescribed to anyone. Warning danger. | F | 36 | 1 days 100mg | 5/24/2015 | 1 | Uti | Uncontrollably itching all over my body 4 days after I stopped taking this. Been taking the maximum saily dose of benadryl & no relief. Ended up in the ER today. DO NOT take this | F | 36 | 5 days 30 mg | 8/2/2015 | 1 | UTI | Two weeks ago, took my first dose, maybe 45 minutes after, I broke out in the worse hives ever. Went to my nearest Urgent Care for two injections, oral meds and oatmeal bath to help with the hives and itching. Was told to not take the meds for two weeks and try again, b/c could have been food allergy as well. I had eaten at a new restaurant this same day a few minutes prior to taking my meds. Yesterday was the two weeks mark, I took my Macrobid with my lunch, not 15 minutes later, same thing (hives), difficulty breathing, stomach pain, nauseau, dizzy, sweating. Visited Urgent Care again (two injections again) for the hives/itching. Advised to NOT take Macrobid ever again. | F | 36 | 1 days 100mg 2X day | 8/19/2015 | 1 | UTI | At first I didn't realize it was the macrobid doing it to me, but the 3 times my docs have tried to put me on it, I get sick as a dog. And not the typical "queasy" feeling other drugs give me. We're talking weird flu-like symptoms: horrid headache, sinus pain, sore muscles, stabbing joint pain, fever. This last time, I was only taking 50mg to prevent another UTI and it still made me sick as a dog. Now after reading these other comments, I'm 99% certain it was all caused by macrobid. What's the deal with this drug? I felt like I was dying. Had to take a narcotic just to alleviate the | If you start feeling worse after starting this med, call your doc. This is a weird med. I will be adding it to my allergy list. | F | 36 | 4 days 50 mg | 12/17/2014 | 1 | UTI | OMG This pill is absolutely horrific! I feel like I am dying! I have took 3 doses...just 3...and I have experienced severe nausea, horrible headaches, pain in my intestines, chest pain, severe hot flashes! | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE! IT IS POISONING OUR BODY! | F | 36 | 3 days 100mg 2X day | 11/21/2014 | 1 | UTI | FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS, FATIGUE, LOSS OF APPETITE, HIGH FEVER (104 + ) FIRST DIGN OF LIVER PROBLEMS WAS THE YELLOEING OF THE WHITES OF MY EYES. WENT TO ER AND WAS ADMITTED ON MY DEATH BED. ALMOST HAD LIVER FAILURE DUE TO THIS DRUG. IT WAS THE CLOSEST I HAVE EVER CAME TO DEATH AND IT WAS HORRIBLE. THIS MEDICINE NEEDS TO BE REEVALUATED OR THE FDA NEEDS TO REMOVE IT ALL TOGETHER. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND ANYONE TAKE THIS MEDICATION. | THIS MEDICATION BROUGHT ME TO THE EDGE OF DEATH. NEVER TAKE THIS MEDICATION. | F | 36 | 10 days | 11/27/2009 | 1 | UTI | This is my 2nd experience of this drug, having taken a longer course of it a few months ago also for a UTI. I was so unwell and in so much pain that time round I thought I just had a really bad infection so some how managed to make it through the course. This time round the same awful feels have returned, awful burning/heavy sensation in my lady/bottom area, making it hard to stand up and also sit down due to the pain. Also terrible headache, stabbing pains in my stomach and arms and legs. Never ever again!! | F | 36 | 3 days 2X day | 3/18/2021 |
