Hi I have recurring UTIS. Last Saterday started taking Microdantin antibiotics. Had to stop taking them today. Had bad side effects straight after taking them. Gut pain indigestion,nausea dizziness and drowsiness. Lasting for one hour and half. Just feeling real sick, unable to drive or doing any cleaning housework nearly fell off the ladder. Have taken other antibiotics I could deal with.
