"I was prescribed Macrobid from a walk-in clinic w/ a practioner who treated me before when I couldn't get into my primary. I have asthma my whole life, but dose 1, I woke up coughing harshly & needed my inhaler. Since that's kinda "normal" for me, I didn't think it was the Macrobid. My boyfriend said that day that it didn't seem my normal asthma cough, though. By the 3rd dose, still waking up coughing, 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 regime. 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 & what the meds might be."

"Went to urgent care center Friday, Christmas Eve as I knew I had 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 horrific headache. The fever did not break until the day after Christmas where I spent another day of nausea, headache and mild temp of 99.5. Now it is Sunday and feeling abut 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."
