Experienecd severe dizziness, nausea and fatigue - I could barely get out of bed and when I did I staggered around as if I were drunk. Couldn't make it past the third pill. Even taking it with food didn't help with the stomach issues. I will never take this again.

Comment:
This was my second UTI in 6 months. SO, my gyno put me on this medicine...I woke up with a full body rash. My arms, legs, face, neck-pretty much everything but my feet-broke out within two day. I stopped the meds two days ago and am still waiting for the reaction to subside.
But, it did get rid of the infection.
