Sex: F
Age: 43.0
Side effects: this is nuts! I took one dose of this antibiotic (after a big dinner) and within a few hours, I was vomiting and had watery diarrhea at the same time! I've been sick all day and after not getting any satisfaction from my doctor's office, I googled this drug. I can't believe all the same side effects that I'm experiencing. I'm gonna call my doctor and report this so that they don't prescribe this to anyone else.

Review: Well, I took one dose of this crazyass drug and within an hour my hands and feet felt weirdly numb. I don't really want to mess around with neurological damage so I'm going to be calling my doctor tomorrow to request a different antibiotic.

Side effects: flu-like symptoms, headache, fatigue, SEVERE neck pain, abdominal pain, bloating, chills, nausea, no appetite, slept all day, not feeling right but thinking it was a weird flu until I figured out it was drug
Time taken and dosage: 2 days100 mg 2X D
Review: After 2 days (3 pills) quick on set of flu-like symptoms- muscle ache, nausea, stomachache, kept getting worse, thought it was flu so I kept taking pills off and on for next 2 days. Over that time I experienced: headache, total fatigue (slept all day/ could not get up) SEVERE neck pain, could not hold my head up, abdominal pain, bloating, no appetite, chills, felt horrible. Took total of 6 pills after last pill again slept all day, next day much better except SEVERE neck pain - could be upright 4 hours before it felt like my muscles could not hold up my head any longer. better by evening but still had pain in one side of neck. All started on a Friday and went through a Monday.Kept thinking it was the flu. Never took this med before. Pharmacist only said take with food, might have stomach problems. I finally had the clear head to read side effects and call doc & pharmacy (no help/ stop drug/ MIGHT be a reaction - it is unusual) Did internet search and found this sight and others and realized - I am having an adverse reaction to this medicine! Might work for some but not for me.

as a preventive to kidney infection 1 Year, 6 Months ago

Sex: F
Age: 66.0
Side effects: prescribed as a preventive for kidney infection to take 1 50mg dose each night. I took only one doze on 4 separate occasions and each time ended up in ER with hospital stay. The symptoms seemed to indicate severe kidney infection. Profound chills, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea, blood pressure fell dangerously low, sharp pain in the kidneys and back. Twice in the hospital, I was treated for kidney infection. I started having weekly urine test and no infection, however, when I took one 50 mg dose of macrobid as prescribed for prevention, within 5 hours I was in ER due to the symptoms above. The MDs did not identify a reaction to macrobid but instead looked for lower bowel infections. Catscans were negative. Finally, after the 4th event occurred and hospitalization, I was sure it was the macrobid because on 2 of the events, hospital tests confirmed there was no infection anywhere in my bowel or kidneys. Last hospitalization was diagnosed as due to allergy or side effect o
Time taken and dosage: 4 days50mg 1X D
Review: I am in good health and this drug almost ended my quality of life and health. I was told I could not travel and must stay near a hospital because of the sudden and unexplained onset of severe kidney symptoms. This was the result of one dose on 4 separate occasions of macrobid and not because of kidney infections. This drug is extremely dangerous for me. Because it is so frequently prescribed, my MDs were very reluctant to recognize that my symptoms were caused by the drug and not kidney infections even when on 2 occasions lab results showed no infections. I will never use this drug
