I called the Er room back today, the woman Gina was very nice she walked downstairs for my results from Friday, I do have an infection and need to take something. I have two choices "Bactrim" or "Macrobid" I read the side effects for both and they are so scary, after the Levaquin disaster, throwing up blood, shaking, electric shocks, I am terrified to take anything, I still do not feel well and I have not taken it for 3 days! I am leaning towards the bactrim since its been around awhile, but my nurse told me either one is good but the Macrobid is "quicker and stronger and more potent" thats what they said about Levaquin and look what happened, I do not know what to do, I have three choices, Take the Macrobid, or take the Bactrim, or just take nothing drink lots of water and hope it will leave, I am so afraid if I take either one of these drugs I will die, they said the side effects from Levaquin were "rare" and look what happened I got them. Has anyone ever taken either Bactrim or Macrobid, my nurse said both worked good and did not interact with my Klonopin, I am here alone with my child, the bactrim can cause death my pill book said but so can Macrobid. I need to do something quick, whatever I decide I am afraid it will be wrong because of what happened with the Levaquin, I am still achy and having electric shocks from it. Please help I am terrified, I had no idea you could get so deathly ill from an antibotic. Thank you I am sorry if this is jumbled I am just so scared I do not want to collaspe and my son be alone. Thank you, Debbie.
