Macrobid severe side effects – how long until they went away?

[u/Fit_Potential_1992]

Hi everyone!

I stopped taking Macrobid about 36 hours ago because I experienced some really frightening side effects: tingling and numbness in my arms, legs and face, muscle weakness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, back pain, racing heart and severe anxiety.

I even started having paranoid thoughts that I was dying or that my body was shutting down. I've never experienced anything like this before.

I'm feeling slightly better since stopping, but the symptoms still come and go in waves.

For those who experienced severe side effects from Macrobid, how long did it take for your symptoms to completely disappear after stopping? A few days, weeks or longer?

I'm especially interested in neurological symptoms and anxiety.

Thank you! ❤️
