For Urinary Tract Infection "This is my second time taking this. I used it in February after having been on Doxycycline for 10 days. After a check, I still had an infection. A culture suggested Macrodantin. I don’t have any side effects. I don’t have to eat. I feel better after 3 pills. I get really dizzy when I have a UTI. I had to be hospitalized before. Given 3 days of IV antibiotics. The germs now are real. But, it’s all the practice of medicine."

For Bladder Infection "Went to the urgent care center Friday, Christmas Eve, as I knew I had a bladder infection, but my regular doctor was on vacation. They prescribed this medication. I took one dose Friday evening, and by Christmas morning, I had a fever of 103.5, was shaking violently with the chills, and so nauseous I had to make myself throw up and had a horrific headache. The fever did not break until the day after Christmas, where I spent another day of nausea, headache, and a mild temperature of 99.5. Now it is Sunday and feeling about better but still headache, and the pressure I feel every time I get up is awful. Will never allow this medication in my system again. It was like being given a bad drug... ruined my holiday."

For Bladder Infection "I was prescribed Macrobid from a walk-in clinic with a practitioner who treated me before when I couldn't get into my primary. I have had asthma my whole life, but dose 1, I woke up coughing harshly and needed my inhaler. Since that's kind of 'normal' for me, I didn't think it was the Macrobid. My boyfriend said that day that it didn't seem like my normal asthma cough, though. By the third dose, I was still waking up coughing and short of breath. The kicker was the chest pain. That is NOT something I relate to my asthma. I had triple the use of my rescue inhaler. That's definitely not right. I'm not going to take it anymore because it's the only different thing in my regimen. Waiting for my regular doctor and psych doctor to get back to me for possible contraindications. I will update this if I find out there are and what the meds might be."

For Urinary Tract Infection "27-year-old female. Day 1 of this medication, I had horrible stomach problems. Flu-like symptoms, crazy cramping. Ibuprofen was not helping. Later that night, I had unbearable, severe stabbing pains in my 'area', they were so bad I went in the bathroom, debated on going to the ER. Looked online at reviews for this antibiotic. I wasn't sure if it was this drug, or my UTI, or maybe my endometriosis. After looking online and seeing a lot of other people with similar side effects, I immediately stopped taking this drug. Most of the symptoms stopped, so I do know it was this drug. This is day 2 of me being off the drug, and I feel so dizzy, like I am about to pass out, and I can barely keep my eyes open, even after I got over 8 hrs of sleep. It will not surprise me if there is a recall on this medication."

For Urinary Tract Infection "Just like Cipro, Nitro made it impossible to walk on my right foot. Cipro made my arch feel like I had creamed the edge of a brick (and left me limping in the hospital before my surgery, and too messed up to drive to the doctor after discharge). Nitro, without a drip, took longer, first making my right wrist tendons feel like a sprain, and then made my right heel suddenly hurt, literally, like I stepped on a spike in the center of the heel. I needed a cane to get back to my bed. I stopped the drug, and my heel recovered immediately. My right wrist still hurts today, three weeks later, with little recovery. The hurt begins outside of my little finger knuckle, goes below my wrist bone, and fades out towards the forearm. I use my left hand more than ever before in my 72-year-old life."
