Hello all,
Ok, so i started having signs of a bladder infection about a week ago. i was put on a medication for 3 days that ended up not working. so my doc switched me to macrobid. i have been taking that for 4 days now, and my bladder infection symptoms have reduced dramatically, however I am now experiencing extreme nausea. I feel like i am going to vomit all day long, and multiple times during the day i find myself gagging or dry heaving over the toiler. i have not actually vomited though. this is horirble and i still have a couple days of the macrobid left to take. anyone ever experience this before??

Unfortunately, the most common side effect of Macrobid is Nausea -- in up to 8% of people who take this med, however vomiting has been reported as an serious side effect, since you have not been throwing up, guess the med has been working well with your system.
If you think its too bothersome, please ask you doc to prescribe an alternate so that you are more comfortable.
Take care, be well, please, my best wishes!
