 1  Bladder/prostate pain Well today marks 14 years since Cipro ended my life. October 25th, 2009 I'd just turned 30 years old when my doctor made the fateful decision to prescribe me this poison without trying any safer alternatives first. I'm now 44 and have been crippled and on SSDI ever since. I've been 100% bedridden for years now and cannot even leave my house for any reason because my connective tissue tears from doing literally nothing at all. I wouldn't wish this barbaric condition on my worst enemy but I do wish it on every single Bayer employee. See you again next year if I can somehow endure yet another year of this nightmarish hell.

 1  UTI Sideeffects? Yes, my life is totally destroyed. Cant do my so loved Sport, Tennis, anymore. Cant work in my so loved job, teacher, anymore. Lost all friends, they didnt believe me. Cant go out anymore. No doc believed me, they called me names, they made jokes about me. They put me in psychiatry. I took this horrible drug 2019. 5 pills. And the nightmare begann and still holds on. It even gets worse. No sports, no work, no life anymore. I write this for all victims of fluorchinolon-antibiotics.

 1  E. coli infection in both kidneys I took Cipro 12 years ago for a bad kidney infection and I have never been the same since - I was a strong, healthy athletic guy who became an old man overnight with Cipro - the medical establishment have been utterly useless - this drug destroys lives - avoid at all costs Extreme exercise intolerance - loss of vitality and strength , iritable bowel syndrome , vague pains , dizziness - an absolute health disaster - 12 years of trying to recover - I'm managing to live with very fragile health but unable to work and basically out of the game - this drug should be banned - it's continues to do untold damage M 54 21 days

 1  Uti Wrecked my entire life! I'm now completely physically disabled and on permanent SSDI because of this poison! If you take Cipro you are literally gambling with your life. Life as I knew it is in the rear-view mirror now thanks to just one week on this crap which never should have been prescribed to me for a simple UTI. The person or persons who invented and green-lit this drug should all be tried and convicted of mass murder. Doctors are completely ignorant about the dangers and are 100% useless once you're floxed by it. Genocide! F 36 7 days

 1  Sinusitis I took a course of this horrific drug in 2016 for a sinus infection that bothered me for 1.5 months. It was the most terrible experience I had in my life, experiencing horrible side effects during and after taking this poison. Shortly after the intake of the first pill it felt like a nuke went off in my body, I felt extreme fatigue and weakness with difficulty speaking or getting up the stairs, had terrible night sweats and insomnia, heart palpitations, feeling of an impending doom, nighttime panic attacks etc. But the worst was yet to come, like in 2-3 weeks after finishing the course, with a terrible neuropathy, constant palpitations, horrible indigestion that lasted for 8 months that lead to a 50 lbs. unintentional weight loss, liver injury with elevated AST and ALT, tendon pain, weakness, fatigue and extreme frailness, depression, panic and anxiety attacks, insomnia and night sweats, inability to work, feeling of hopelessness etc. I guess I am one of the lucky ones making a full recovery in about 1 year after taking this life altering poison, but I had to change my whole lifestyle in order to achieve that including not taking any medicine since that ordeal, not even a half of an aspirin. I wouldn't take this poison again even if I were on my dying bed... M 40 5 days

 1  UTI with kidney stones Never again! I'd rather have the kidney stones again. My skin is on fire, my abdomen is distended to the point I look 4+ months pregnant, I'm bloated, nauseated doesn't cover how sick I feel, my nose is on fire, my legs hurt and I feel worse taking this than I did immediately after passing the kidney stones. Oh and I was in the sun for less than 10 minutes and look like a lobster which is alarming bc I'm olive complected meaning I rarely burn, just brown. My legs also are extremely restless and my back hurts just as bad now as it did when 2 kidney stones were ripping their way out of my urinary tract from my right kidney. Never again! Won't take unless I'm one foot in the grave, vault already in place and this is my last hope of keeping the rest of me above ground! F 41 2 days

 1  UTI First it started out as minor muscle pain in the back of my legs. I thought I needed potassium because I had been on a low carb diet. However, each day it would get worse and worse. I was taking ibuprofen and it would help but then it started hurting in my lower back, buttocks and the back of my legs to the point I couldn't keep still from the pain. Couldn't sleep because the pain was non stop and ibuprofen wasn't helping anymore. The pain was unbearable and never stopped - had a bit of a mental breakdown when I went back to the doctors. I'm now on pain killers to manage the pain so I can at least sleep. I'm not taking this drug ever again under any circumstances F 50 7 days

 1  prostate pain - NO INFECTION!! this may seem like an exaggeration but 2 pills of cipro taken 10 years ago RUINED MY ENTIRE LIFE FOREVER. I have since had severe tendon pain to the point that I cannot exercise or even walk more than 10 minutes at a time, joint damage, head pressure, nausea, tinnitus, floaters in my eyes, and frequent migraines. I am only able to work part-time and I feel miserable 24/7, like a zombie from the walking dead. I would not wish this hell upon anyone. Except the people who made this poison - there's a special place in hell waiting for them DO NOT TAKE DO NOT TAKE DO NOT TAKE M 46 2 days

 1  For a freakin UTI I took this drug in 1997 before all the major black box warnings came out for severe irreversible tendon rupture, CNS damage, and heart problems. IT RUINED MY HEALTH AND LIFE FOREVER. I have basically been rotting in a room for the past 2 decades severely ill and waiting to die. Multiple tendon ruptures, 10/10 pain 24/7, my life is a nonstop real world nightmare, something you can't even imagine in your worst of dreams. I cannot wait for death and I don't see myself being alive much longer. I hope someone one day bombs Bayer headquarters as justice to all of us suffering for the rest of our lives. While these despicable pharmaceutical businessmen become millionaires and billionaires off the lives and blood of our suffering...I am on disability, unemployed, bedbound, in constant torturous agony. ROT IN HELL BAYER If you took this drug recently after the black box warnings were issued, I don't know what to say to you. The warnings were all there on the package, you were foolish to take this crap and have nobody to blame but yourself for it. I wasn't warned, but you were - you could have saved yourself. So consider your suffering self-inflicted. Enjoy. M 47 7 days

 1  UTI Sitting in the ER as I write this. No history of anxiety or panic attacks whatsoever. Woke up 6 hours after 2nd dose. Made a simple movement while sitting, and felt shortness of breath when inhaling. Thought it was odd and carried on. Five minutes later I urinated in the bathroom, and on the way out I started fainting. Vision narrowed, heart raced, felt cold, and numb. I sat on the floor and called 911. Two pills and I am done with this CIPRO. M 50 1 days
