For Urinary Tract Infection "I was prescribed Hiprex a week ago to help control painful recurring UTIs. About 3 days after taking it, I started to feel and look exhausted, and I’ve had trouble getting and staying asleep at night. I look in the mirror, and my eyes are lifeless, and I have circles under my eyes. Even my family has commented on how bad I look (Mom said the spark is gone from my eyes). I’ve also had urine dribbling into my underwear out of nowhere (I’m wearing a pad for the first time in my life), sharp pains in my urethra, and increased urination. I’ve also felt extremely depressed and have been emotionless since this med (very strange, feelingless mood). There is absolutely a correlation between Hiprex and how I feel and look. I believe this is a dangerous drug. I’m going to call my doctor on Monday to see if I should stop, and he’ll probably say yes out of abundance of caution, and then I’ll be back to recurring UTIs. Can’t win for losing."

For Urinary Tract Infection "It is working for me after coming off antibiotics I took for 2 years, but I feel strange, slight moodiness, but at least the pain has gone for now. I’ve been taking it for over a week, just half a tablet twice daily. I’m more tired than usual and feel slightly apathetic, but apart from that, ok."
