Please don't take this! Ask for a different antibiotic if you are prescribed this. I can not explain how awful I felt, extreme nausea, dizziness and diahrea, I felt so bad I was pulling out my own hair, I couldn't stand being in my own skin. I'll never ever take this again.

I have had many UTI's mostly due to chronic kidney stones. I usually take Macrobid or the generic and have no side effects except maybe a little fatigue and very mild dizziness on the 1st day if any.

My Dr. prescribed Sulfamethoxazole-Trimetho 800 Oral because 50mg of Macrobid was just not working well after taking it so much. After taking 1 pill (sulfamethoxazole) and 5hours later, I was nauseous,cramping,so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep. I had diahrrea and heaviness in my chest. I called the Dr. and told her I was not taking another pill...they changed the PX to a higher dose Macrobid. Please be careful when taking this drug...It is very powerful. I would ask for alternates especially if you are sensitive to drugs. I am sure it is a fast acting and good drug for UTI infections but be aware.

Within an hour of my first dose I have severe stomach pain and cramping. Wish I would have read these reviews first. Do not take this medication.

After the first pill, the pain in between urinations stopped almost immediately and the frequent need to urinate also decreased. I did feel a little lightheaded after the first pill, but it only lasted for about 20 minutes and didn't occur again. Blood stopped appearing in my urine after the second pill and the pain after urination almost stopped completely. All UTI symptoms were gone after the third pill. Overall, this was extremely effective for curing my infection.
