Nitrofurantoin/UTI headache depression

2018-06-09 14:26:07
I've been taking nitrofurantoin for a UTI for about a week now. I'm currently writing exams in university so my mood is quite low. But I get bad depressed feelings, terrible headaches, general malaise and feel really fatigued all the time. Could my medication or the infection be causing this? The infection hasn't cleared up as I still have burning and urgency symptoms. I can only see my doctor on Friday. Any help is greatly appreciated

I think you need a better medication to bring down the infection in 1 week then follow it up with nitrofurantoin
