| 3 | UTI | Headache, extremely high blood glucose, neck ache, dizziness, vision issues, fatigue | It's clearing up the UTI, but making my glucose readings skyrocket. Plus, the other side effects are annoying. | F | 39 | 7 days 100mg 2X day | 7/30/2016 | 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 | 3 | UTI | Nausea; slight headache; cold sweat. | The side-effects are unpleasant, but as long as they don't get any worse, I'll cope. It's better than spending visits to the bathroom doubled over, crying in severe pain with the UTI! | F | 51 | 5 days 100mg 2X day | 7/27/2016 | 1 | UTI | Severe headache, body malaise, fatigue, severe reflux that you feel like throwing up... Basically you feel sick that all you want to do is lay in bed but then you couldn't sleep. | Takes a while to start working. I am on my 5th day of taking it i still have the frequency in going to the bathroom. | F | 34 | 5 days 100 mg | 7/26/2016 | 1 | UTI | Feeling tired , stomach cramps as well as stomach feel sore and nervousness | I was supposed to have taken for 5 days but Dr told me to stop it and see how I feel in a couple of days ... I will be be taken it again that's for sure | F | 36 | 2 days 100mg | 7/21/2016 | 1 | UTI | This is the WORST antibiotic on the market. I had to unfortunately be on this several times to treat my UTI's, but this time I am completely done with this horrible medication. I have experienced dizziness, extreme nausea and chest congestion. I had to go to my doctor again today and I am on steriods now to clear it up. When I was in Wal-Mart earlier today I felt like I was going to pass out and drop to the floor while I was walking. My legs felt very heavy and my heart was racing with palpitations. It was very scary and I feel sick to my stomach at this very moment :( | F | 37 | 2 days 100mg 2X day | 7/21/2016 | 1 | UTI | I literally feel as if I were poisoned. Day 1 Dose 1, I only ate toast and then took it. I could not get out of bed. The waves of nausea were extreme. The remaining days I ate a heavy carb meal and waited 20-30 min then took the pill. The nausea was still pretty bad, but I could get out of bed to make it to the couch. I wake up every morning with diarrhea and this morning I puked 2x. I am so sore and tired. My head is so heavy I need naps about every 3 hours. This is so ridiculous. I went to urgent care to receive help so I could work and instead get poisoned. I have yet to see one single positive review. There are SO SO many better alternatives. I even told the doc I had been given Cipro in the past and it had worked, but she ignored it. | Take this off the market. I have never ever had a reaction to a drug until now. | F | 27 | 5 days 100 2X day | 7/20/2016 | 1 | Uti | Fever, explosive diarreah, vomiting, joint pain, headache, shaking, admitted to hospital 2nd day and still here. This was the worst experience of my life. I felt like I was dying. | This drug is toxic, don't take it. | F | 55 | 1 days 100 mg | 7/19/2016 | 1 | UTI | Stomach pain, chest pain, muscle & joint pain & stiffness, fever, chills, trouble breathing, gas, diarrhea, extreme fatigue,burning itchy skin. | Be very cautious when taking this medication. I have taken other antibiotics before without any complications so I didn't think twice about taking this one, especially since my DR. Assured me that it was well tolerated by his patients. I became severely ill and had to go to the ER after only taking it for 2 days. It's been 4 days since stopping and I am still feeling the side effects. I wish I would have researched it more and had found this thread before taking it. With over 1,000 negative reviews from others who have had such adverse reactions to it the FDA SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER REMOVING THIS DRUG FROM CIRCULATION! | F | 46 | 2 days 100mg | 7/19/2016 | 1 | Uti | Extreme nausea and fatigue. Racy heartbeat, run stools, stomach cramping, gas, bloating. This is the second time I've taken it in four weeks. | F | 33 | 7 days | 7/18/2016 | 1 | uti | fever ,tiredness ,neck pain and diarrhea and day 3 its getting worse | This is dangerous drug, I stop using after 5th dosage side effects are worst then UTI | F | 41 | 7 days 2X day | 7/16/2016 | 1 | UTI | Extremely tired, fatigued, swollen, lower abdomen and back pain, shortness of breath, has not cure my UTI even after taking 13pills already. | Horrible medicine | F | 30 | 7 days 100 | 6/29/2016 | 1 | Urinary tract infection | Shortness of breath, muscle spasms, long term asthma | I still have severe asthma and inflation in my chest from taking Macrobid 3 years ago. | F | 33 | 3 days | 6/28/2016 | 1 | UTI | Had to be hospitalized for vomiting,rapid heartbeat,skin redness,weakness | Never take it! | F | 70 | 1 days 500mg | 6/28/2016 | 1 | Prostatitis | M | 43 | 5 days 100 | 6/21/2016 | 1 | UTI | Feverish chills, headache, itchy skin, dry hacking cough, dizziness, bladder discomfort and lower back pain! | Felt like I had a very high fever with chills and shaking but temp was in the 97 range.

Unable to comprehend how urgent care told me it was normal side effects and to continue taking. 5 th day went into family doctor and was told to stop. | F | 50 | 5 days 100 mg | 6/18/2016 | 1 | UTI | Nausea, kidney pain(flank pain), stomach cramps, drowsiness, fatigue, intense headaches. | It worked for my UTI but I would not advise anyone to take it, If I get another I will ask for an alternative. 2 days after last capsule I am still experiencing the side effects mentioned. | F | 25 | 3 days 100MG 2X day | 6/17/2016 | 1 | kidney infection | have had 3 kidney infections this pregnancy so dr prescribed me Macrobid to take the remainder of my pregnancy .
