 1  uti started to have abdominal pain right away after 1st dose. Pain getting progressively worse each day.. It is a 3rd day, I do not know if i can tolerate it a whole week, as prescribed.... Now, on top, of the abdominal pain i have pain in my back, nausea and very bad headache. Afraid, if it progress like that, i may end up with convulsions ! Will call the doctor tomorrow for the change of drug. F 51 3 days

 4  UTI/kidney infection Yeast infection, but normal with antibiotics. I was given Vantin 100mg twice daily after being on IV antibiotics for 4 days. I actually quit them due to being so sick and visiting my doctor. My doctor switched me to levaquin, which I found out was poison and was having side effects after 8 days of it, plus it wasn't helping my infection. I decided to take the Vantin after quitting levaquin and my symptoms have imoroved. I still have kidney pain, but my fever is gone. The IV medication, which is in the same class as Vantin worked the best. I had a bad doctor at the hospital that took me off the IV antibiotics early. I will use Vantin again if needed for UTI/kidney infection. Now I hope I do not have permanent damaging effects from the leviquin. F 38 6 days
