Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Oh, that's true. They don't tell you this stuff when they prescribe it! I'm allergic to Sulfa and Trimethoprim (in Bactrim) ... both of them, so my options are very limited. That's why in a few months I'm going back to ony after sex. Thank you for the warning! Sharon Re: Good Morning Can you take anything daily? That's what I have to do now. But I haven't had any infections since I started taking my nitrofurantoin everyday.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Zanax is a benzodiazapine, a cousin to valium and is for anxiety. It tends to be very addictive and side effects are LACK of focus, memory, and ability. Marilyn"Sharon M. " wrote: OOh. Sorry you can't take Diflucan. Nitrofurantoin is Macrodantin brand antibiotic. It's specific to UTIs so it doesn't cause as much resistance as drugs like Levaquin. You can try taking it after sex or then daily. I have a few months more of daily dosing, then I'm going back to only taking it after intercourse. FYI - avoid Monistat 1 like the plague - it's VERY irritating and not in a good spot to be irritated! ouch. Why are you taking the Xanax with the Levaquin? Just wondering - the xanax is for bipolar, right? I have had recurrent UTIs but I also had overactive bladder (at age 25) for a while. I found out I had endometriosis, and when that was removed, it improved on its own and I stopped my medication. Good luck to you! I'm having trouble getting my reproductive endocrinologist to DO anything about my high TSH b/c I'm moving soon. I want to get this taken care of ASAP cause I've felt like someone else and like crap for quite some time. My husband doesn't even think I'm the same person. Sharon Re: Good Morning But I haven't had any infections since I started taking my nitrofurantoin everyday. What is nitrofurantion? I am taking the topamax, and xanax and tolerating it. Levaquin for the UTI's, but have to take the xanax with it! Get this, I can't even take Diflucan for the yeast infections, it makes me break out in blisters, it took two years to figure that one out!
