Comparing Bactrim DS vs Macrobid

For Urinary Tract Infection No health insurance. Went to the ER for UTI and was prescribed Bactrim. UTI symptoms quickly subsided (didn't disappear completely but like 90% better) so that was nice. Then the Bactrim symptoms started. Oh man. I had a different set of symptoms every day. First it was tingly hands and severe fatigue. Then I had a full blown panic attack (depression and anxiety can be made worse by Bactrim apparently so I tried to keep reminding myself of that). Last couple of days I've had headaches and bad nausea. I'm on day 6 of my 7 day course now-- gonna try my best to make it through the whole course but wowww it's tough. I just hope these symptoms clear up once my pills are gone. It got its job done but made me miserable in the process!

For Urinary Tract Infection Had a 7 day prescription of Bactrim DS. The first two days I had a headache, then the 3rd day I started feeling nausea which turned into nausea/dizziness/and constant fatigue. I've been off the medicine for 36 hours and still feel extremely exhausted, and still dizzy and a little queasy at times.

For Urinary Tract Infection Everything was fine until the 3rd day of my 5 day trial on Macrobid. I experienced severe nausea and was very close to vomiting. My body was aching so bad I couldn’t move. Thankfully after the 3 days, my UTI did part it’s ways. I won’t ever touch that antibiotic again.

For Urinary Tract Infection I have taken this medication twice. I rated it a 5 because, despite the severe reaction I had to it, it DID take care of the UTI. That said... First time I took it I felt like I had the flu for the first day or so. This wore off so I continued taking it, and after the course was finished my UTI was gone. I recently was prescribed it a second time for a UTI; however, my reaction to it was much more severe after my first day. I had: -Severe body aches -Nausea -Chills/fever (as high as 102) -Shortness of breath -Headache My skin also became very sensitive and it hurt just to have fabric touch it. I had to take a day off of work and lay in bed because I was so ill. I was informed to stop taking it and have been switched over to Cipro. I can't recommend it due to the side effects I endured, but I suppose if you don't suffer from the side effects it is an effective drug for a UTI.
