PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING YOUTUBE VIDEOS: https://www.youtube.com/user/CiproIsPoisonDotCom/videos?spfreload=10 | 1X D | 5/4/2015 | 1 | Another Cipro victim recently decided to end their own life rather than continue living with the nightmarish and never-ending side effects of this nasty antibiotic. You know a drug is bad when death is preferable to its side effects! Get this &$%# off the market NOW! How many more kids are going to have to grow up without a mother or father because of corporate greed and corruption? | The folks at Bayer must be brought to justice. Of course that will never happen through legal channels, as they (the drug industry) have bought off the FDA. We are not being protected, and if we want justice it seems we must get it ourselves. | 1X D | 6/24/2015 | 1 | To the 23yo female who posted on 7/6/15: You are obviously quite ignorant about Cipro and its (abysmal) safety profile. A bullet has a half-life of what, a fraction of a second as it passes through your body? But we all know how deadly and destructive bullets can be. Keep on taking your Cipro like a good consumer and we'll see who's a "complainer" once she's permanently unable to walk. It's one thing to knowingly endanger your own health, it's quite another to encourage others to do the same with theirs. You have a lot of learning yet to do! | 1X D | 7/10/2015 | 1 | UTI | Exhaustion, depression, anxiety, insomnia, hypoglycemia, food allergies, autoimmune disorders, audio distortion, difficulty speaking, migraines, etc... | Unless you have a life or death emergency, do not ever touch this medicine. Doctors do not know the reality of the risks nor do they care. This is not like other medications. The side effects are in a completely different league, I've been bedridden for 7 years because of Cipro. It destroyed every area of my life. Even if you tolerated it before, that means nothing. This med destroys people by the thousands. | 37 | 10 days 500 mg | 10/13/2015 | 1 | UTI | WORST NIGHTMARE OF MY LIFE WHEN I TOOK THIS DRUG (CIPRO) 10 YEARS AGO & THE FDA IS FINALLY (11/5/15) SAYING THIS DRUG SHOULD HAVE STRONGER WARNING LABELS FOR SIDE EFFECTS!! TAKE IT OFF THE MARKET! Still have some muscle problems 10 years after taking drugs! Had problems with almost every organ in my body due to CIPRO. Was perfectly healthy before taking this POISON!!! | From Wall St. Jrl. 11/5/15: FDA Panel Seeks Tougher Antibiotic Labels Mounting evidence of previously unknown, and sometimes permanent, side effects prompted review. By Thomas M. Burton – Wall St. Jrl. SILVER SPRING, Md.—A Food and Drug Administration advisory panel overwhelmingly called for heightened label warnings on widely prescribed antibiotics called fluoroquinolones because of unusual but sometimes devastating side effects. The action followed a day of emotional testimony from dozens of patients who said these drugs have had a wide range of harmful effects on their health and cognitive ability. The agency decided earlier this year to have its advisory committee examine the class of antibiotics because of mounting evidence of previously unknown, and sometimes permanent, side effects.".... As early as April 17, 2013, the FDA’s Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology, which evaluates drug safety, concluded: “We continue to find an association between fluoroquinolone antibiotic use and disabling peripheral neuropathy.” | 2 days 250 2X D | 11/7/2015 | 1 | Cipro: Kills the infection by killing the patient | 1X D | 11/16/2015 | 1 | bacterial infection | I ONLY TOOK IT TWICE I CAN BARELY WALK CAN'T USE MY LEFT ARM CAN BARELY TAKE A BATH EMOTIONALLY DEPRESSED CAN'T WORK CAN HARDLY WIPE MYSELF IM BEYOND DISCOURAGED BT IM CONTINUOUSLY PRAYING FOR BETTER DAYS.

Started taking this for prostatitis and my world turned upside down. Doctors still have no clue as to why but I'm sure it was this drug. 3years lateri still feel the effects. | 25 | 3 months 500mg | 10/31/2014 | 1 | Crippled by Cipro?

I'm 20. | This drug is not supposed to be used as care-free as stupid physicians use it. People blame the drug companies for being greedy, but a large part of the problem as well is stupid doctors who don't know when a drug is really supposed to be used and when it's not. | | 5/25/2009 | 1 | diarhhea | Long term disability. Huge difficulties with all normal activity. Dizziness. | 35 | 5 days | 10/21/2009 | 1 | Prostatitis | At the beginning pins and needles and burns all over my body thought was from the prostatitis :( Should have stopped then. Middle of therapy increasing urination every day visited the bathroom 20 or more times. At the end of treatment developed CNS overstimulation, light headedness, nausea, depersonalisation with pressure headache like someone was inserting an icepick on my head, blur vision, double vision, Doctors thought i had a stroke or some subarachnoid hemmorhage but then after MRI, MRV was negative they wanted to talk me into antidepressants!!!! UNBELIEVABLE. I refused it and carried on with my life or tried to. 2 months later headache increased so i was hospitalized. Also developed unsteadiness and dizziness which lasted another 3 months. 3 straight months i stayed in bed couldnt get up for work due to fatigue and dizziness and headache. previously played 3-4 hours a day in amateur soccer league and weight trained, never had any problems whatsoever. By month tried to walk bu | Have studied Cipro side effects for months now as a biochemist was very worried with this situation. The drug is derived from Quinine Alkaloids which are known for centuries to cause irreversible CNS damage. Its a pitty that Bayer doesnt state that and it is a crime that the FDA permits it. There is something going on with the permission of this drug on the market. | 29 | 15 days | 12/2/2008 | 1 | pneumonis | I took Cipro for two days, 500 mgs twice daily. On the second day, which was Christmas day, I started having muscle spasms and pain in my left shoulder and scapula. Within hours I was in the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life, and I am a dougle lung transplant recipient and did not have this much pain. I could not even get to the ER, because the pain was so severe when I would move, that my family didn't want to try to put me in the car. The next day, I decided to research the side effects of Cipro, and realized that the pain I was having was due to this medication. I contacted my physician and he advised me to stop taking it, which I did. The pain has subsided but is still there. I hope that it will resolve itself | DONT TAKE CIPRO NO MATTER WHAT. | 59 | 2 days | 12/28/2008 | 1 | UC | Severe suicidal depression, seizures, dizziness, yellow skin, dark urine, bruises, a red rash on my face, | I literally felt like I had been poisoned. Only an inept idiot of a doctor would give you this for UC. (It made my symptoms worse, besides the all the side effects.) Run, don't walk, if your doctor prescribes this poison. This is a VERY dangerous drug. Its side effects are potentially debilitating, especially when combined with prednisone. | | 3/2/2009 | 1 | Prostatitis | 6 months out, life has changed completely. Suffer from intracranial hypertension, migraines, nausea, tendon problems, kidney problems, vision deterioration, loss of peripheral vision, hormonal imbalances, damaged spleen, depersonalisation, nightmares, depression, suicidal thoughts you name it. Symptoms reappear each time i eat meat that i havent cooked, i start to think the whole industry uses cipro even on animals and fish.. | Perfect to kill yourself. Would not even give it to my enemies. The best biological weapon to take out terrorists by the thousands. Cannot be detected, damage lasts for years and makes you incapacitated. Lost my job, my family everyone, have been isolated in a small village, trying to live and eat healthy and learn as much as i can from all this experience. Killer drug, poison, stay away. I have taken many antibiotics in my life, due to working in a research lab but nothing like this. This was the worst, sides are equivalent to cancer and hiv drug treatments, even worse STAY AWAY | 30 | 14 days | 7/22/2008 | 1 | Prostate | Scotland/physicallyactive male. Prostate-empathise with many posts, I have suffered acute tendonitis and cramping in achilles/calves. Worst of all experienced acute negative swings in mood profile adverse effect on my family. Hands across the water, this drug appears to have hidden nasty side effects, stay clear if you can,all the best. | | 8/18/2008 | 1 | The reviewer from 12/30/2015 is almost certainly a big pharma rep. Either that or just very, very naive. Just because he's willing to play Russian roulette with his life doesn't mean you have to play it with yours. Cipro--and every other fluoroquinolone antibiotic still on the market--is capable of causing savage harm. Hello, every drug in this class now carries MULTIPLE black box warnings. Yea--real safe! And fewer side effects than older antibiotics? The FDA warning label for Cipro is 43 pages long!! | You have been warned. | 1X D | 1/1/2016 | 1 | Prostatitis | DO NOT TAKE THIS UNLESS YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. PLEASE! Mental confusion, loss of ability to focus, memory loss, it's been 3 months and still have issues. This is a destructive drug and will attack your healthy cells as well as the good ones. SOME OF THE EFFECTS ONLY APPEAR WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS LATER. GOOD LUCK TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOUR DOCTOR. | Horrific. Stay away. If you have come here to check this drug out, and have NOT taken it, you will have won the lottery! | 12 days 10mg 2X D | 4/13/2016 | 1 | uti infection | flu like systems - legs hurt to walk - itching | I had taken this a yr ago for uti infection with no ill effects. This time it was horrible with a 250mg tablet. I changed to Amox-clav 500mg. I will never take cipro again. My Dr. only gave it to me because I requested it. | 1 days 250mg 1X D | 5/4/2017 | 1 | c diff | horrible side effects...yellow skin even. | don't take this. it has a black box warning now. | | 11/4/2008 | 1 | prostate infection | eye twitching, nervousness, hallucinations, delusions, plus many more of the side effects. | I was once married to a man who took Cipro for a prostate infection. Within 3 days of taking it, allergic reactions began to appear. I called the doctor and she said he should stop taking it, but that it could remain in his system for up to 5 days. That afternoon he told me he was going to go to the store and disappeared. My family, the police, and friends searched everywhere FOR DAYS. It was horrible. Finally we found him in a hospital 8 hours away. He had been picked up by the police. He said he was heading for Mexico and he did not know why. He had been sleeping outdoors and riding trains. When we saw him, he looked like a homeless person - nothing like the professional programmer in the top of his field. The doctors were fascinated by his case, over 20 came to evaluate him. He was a healthy young man who never smoked, took drugs or drank alcohol. They determined that he had a severe reaction to Cipro - amongst the "one percent" that would have such a reaction. After the | 3 days | 9/15/2005 | 1 | uti | horrible rash that returns after steroid treatment to make the rash go away is finished | 3 days 2X D | 6/18/2012 | 1 | You know a drug is bad when it inspires a Hollywood movie (The East) about corporate greed & corruption that comes at the expense of an unsuspecting public. Unfortunately for us, the film is based on this real-life class of antibiotics that is reducing countless previously healthy & active individuals to cripples--often times for LIFE--while the FDA turns a blind eye. If you have been disabled by Cipro, it is important that you call Phil Blake, CEO of Bayer Healthcare, at (862) 404-5018. It's time he hears from his victims! | Mr. Blake: There are consequences to your actions. | 1X D | 7/1/2013 | 1 | Kidney Infection due to MS | Nausea, Stomach Pain, Headache then broke out in hives everywhere. | It took me forever to get over the bad stomach pain and nausea. I had to be given Phenargan for the nausea. It was the worst drug ever. I was sick for days after my first day on this drug. Hives were taken care of with Benedryl but the rest was terrible. They need to pull this drug. I have heard so many people tell me terrible experiences with this drug as well. | 10 days 250 1X D | 10/20/2012 | 1 | Bronchotis | can't focus feeling of being dizzy, anxiety | 35 | 6 days 500 2X D | 5/27/2011 | 7 | Uti that was negative | Every single symptom in black box warning. | POISON - would rather be dead, but, so far, lack the courage. | F | 75 | 1 days 7000 mg | 3/19/2016 | 5 | I have used this time and again with great results. 500 mg 2x a day for 3 days. 150 mg 2x a day for 10 days. No side effects, just quick clearing of the nasty symptoms of a UTI. Btw...I am not Big Pharma. I am a mom and work part time. Seems like so many are dissatisfied. I thought I would express my experience with it, since it was positive. | F | 43 | 3 days 500mg | 2/18/2016 | 5 | Submandibular Gland Infection | Slight increase in thirst. | I have a hard time taking most antibiotics due to allergies. I was afraid to take Cipro because I am allergic to Levaquin. The only thing I noticed was increased thirst, but that may have been due to the salivary gland infection. I'm glad I tried it, it worked well. I see so many negative posts, I wanted to let people know the good too. | F | 54 | 7 days 500mg 2X D | 4/1/2016 | 5 | Lung Infection | I get serious hives taking any antibiotic but with Cipro I didn't get any and little side effects. | F | 54 | 10 days 500 2X D | 1/24/2016 | 5 | Abscess tooth | I feel tired. Not sure if it's the Cipro, or the stress of the tooth abscess pain finally gone. | I've always done well with Cipro. From prior comments, I see we all react differently to this drug. I'm taking this drug for 7 days. I could not get the days prescribed to register here. | F | 60 | 1 days 500 | 6/20/2016 | 5 | Abscess tooth | I feel tired. Not sure if it's the Cipro, or the stress of the tooth abscess pain finally gone. | I've always done well with Cipro. From prior comments, I see we all react differently to this drug. I'm taking this drug for 7 days. I could not get the days prescribed to register here. | F | 60 | 1 days 500 | 6/20/2016 | 5 | UTI | More Energy+ :) Evening Headaches- :( | Just took my last pill of my round. I have felt so good (mentally) lately, that I was wondering if it was due to this medicine. Upon "Google-ing" Does Cipro give you energy? I found this site. I never NEVER take any medications or prescription drugs, (except for phenteramine for weight loss.) I have always been scared that if I take antibiotics too much, they would lose their effectiveness and when the time came that I really needed it, it wouldn't work. So our family rides out their sicknesses naturally. However, when there is severe pain involved or threat to internal organs...I didn't want to take a chance. It began working within 4 hours, I noticed relief. Day 2 I noticed strange feeling of well being, improved outlook in general. I had a "skinny day". If you're a woman you know these are the days you think "hey, am I loosing some weight, I feel thinner" Day 3 another skinny day, hence more good outlook Day 4 same day 5 same. Now that its over, I'm worried my frumpy days will return and my outlook will change. so I was just wondering if it was due to the Cipro. There're are WAY TO MANY comments on this med site to read them all and find my answer. Maybe it's just the combination of the Phenteramine with the Cipro that caused this. Who knows,even so I certainly wouldn't continue taking it for that reason. I'd be safer joining a gym! I really felt great other than the night time headaches. Which by the way Goodies | F | 45 | 5 days 500mg 2X D | 9/17/2016 | 5 | whopper of a UTI | Light headed. | Last resort. Do not take meds. Feel that 3 days will be enough. | F | 60 | 7 days 500 mg 2x | 3/27/2017 | 5 | UTI | no side effects | It is my preferred medication for UTI, which, thankfully, I don't get often, maybe 1 every year or two. I would not want to take a higher dose now that I'm older, but I have found 250mg to be tolerable. It clears the infection for me with no side effects. | F | 65 | 3 days 250 mg 2X D | 3/16/2017 | 5 | Kidney Infection | Slightly itchy | I am allergic to most meds given for kidney infections, but this has been a life saver. Feel so much better | F | 33 | 10 days | 7/10/2017 | 5 | UTI | mild nausea, mild anxiety increase | I already have anxiety so it is hard to say whether the cipro itself increased my anxiety or if merely being unhealthy and having to take it did. After reading this website I was very scared to take it, but the only problem I had was some very mild nausea, which is normal for me whenever I take anything. | F | 22 | 5 days | 8/19/2008 | 5 | SEVERE UTI | Mild nausea/loss appetite, feel a little chilly, sleepy | Please remember most of us are not doctors and it is not in our best interest to self-diagnose based on opinions of our peers. I'm on day 5 of a 7-day cycle of 500mg Cipro. Cleared up my horrid UTI nicely (and my skin looks great to boot!) very mild side effects, as with all other antibiotics I've taken. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! And eat frequent, light meals/snacks, drink plenty of water, get rest...the gym will have to wait. | F | 35 | 5 days | 9/2/2008 | 5 | UTI | None whatsoever. | As I am allergic to ampicillin, cephalosporin, erythromycin and sulfa, I am extremely thankful that there is something I can take for my once-or-twice-a-year UTIs. And it works. | F | 52 | 10 days | 6/30/2008 | 5 | Various illnesses | Cipro is the only antibiotic I've found that I'm not allergic to. I've been taking it on and off for over 10 years. I had no idea of the side effects nor did I associate my health problems, both mental and phsycical to taking an antibiotic. | I have had torn tendons in my feet and ankles, neither of which should have happened with the activity taking place. I have had insomnia, depression, anxiety, night sweats, joint and muscle pain, flu-like symptoms, floaters in the eyes, ringing in the ears, etc. I just found out yesterday that all these things are probably related to taking Cipro over the years. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow to find out if it is the root of all my health problems. Google cipro tendon and you'll find extensive research on the side effects. It's overwhelming and you wonder why all these things are not listed when you get a prescription and why doctors are not more aware. | F | 45 | 10 years | 7/9/2008 | 5 | UTI | Sleepyness, Mood Changes, Dehydration | Makes me more sleepy than usual, Crying for every sappy thing, Have to make sure to drink enough fluids with all antibiotics (not just Cipro). This medication has not caused me any other problems. Everyone, PLEASE read the entire medication description. It will alert you to possible side effects, drug interactions, etc. Some of the problems you all are having could be avoided by simply educating yourselves about the medication you are taking. This medication will increase the effects of caffeine!!! | F | 29 | 10 days | 2/18/2009 | 5 | UTI | None | Reading all of these negative comments made me very afraid to take this drug. Fortunately I had no side effects at all. In fact, this is the only antibiotic I've taken that didn't cause major side effects. It's puzzling why this drug seems to cause so much trouble for some but not others. I wouldn't take this drug for a minor infection, but if you truly do need it, I would at least give it a try for a day or two to see how you will react. As with all drugs, you have to decide if the risks of taking it outweigh the risks of *not* taking it. | F | 55 | 7 days | 3/11/2009 | 5 | UTI | None | I was surprised to see so many negative reactions listed on this page. I just thought I'd add that Cipro cleared up my symptoms within days and I experienced no side effects. | F | 31 | 10 days | 6/17/2008 | 5 | UTI | No side effects that I noticed | It seems like cipro has been put in a bad light here, and just wanted to put my positive experience to let others know that it doesn't have negative effects on everyone. I have had UTIs since I was 4, so believe me I have tried just about every antibiotic out there. Penicillin gave me hives, Septra was the worst experience of my life (severe anxiety, urinating every 5 minutes, burning itching skin, felt like I was going to die), and Macrobid works but with some stomach pain. But I have never had any problems with the cipro. And it always clears up the infection for me. Occasionally I will take macrobid too so that I don't build a dependance to cipro, but I prefer the cipro any day. I have never taken it without food so not sure if it makes a difference on the stomach. But I always feel it's a good idea to take antobiotics with a meal. I get yeast infections after antibiotics though so this time I'm trying some acidolpholous pills during my treatment. | F | 23 | 7 days | 11/30/2008 | 5 | UTI | I tried macrobid and it caused me to throw up and have terrible chest pains. My doctor switched me to Cipro and I was so scared to take it after reading these comments. Other than mild tingling that went away quickly, I had no side effects and it cured my UTI within the first day of a five day dosage. | It does work. | F | 33 | 5 days | 1/2/2009 | 5 | MRSA | I am still taking this drug. I am guessing the drug is working well because my white blood counts are down. Unfortunately, it is coming at a great cost to the rest of my body. I feel like I have been hit by a mack truck! Body aches, stiff neck, sore muscles. I can barely get myself up out of a chair or bed. I am going to the Dr. Tuesday and see if there is another option. I am supposed to be on this till 1/24/2009. I don't see that happening. I am 48 and feel 98!! | F | 48 | 20 days | 1/4/2009 | 5 | Bladder Infection | MINOR nausea that went away (I found taking it on an empty stomach wasn't the best idea), MINOR dizziness the first day or two which cleared up, after coming on this site the 5th day I had MINOR "tingling" and some MINOR muscle pain but that may be have been psychosomatic since I'm prone to anxiety. | I've been off this pill for 48 hours and no further side effects. This pill did wonders for my bladder infection and there was an added bonus of clearing up some digestive issues I was having that I didn't relate to being a possible bacteria problem. My pharmacist gave me a huge hand out on the possible side effects so I was very nervous to take this drug but I just want to say to all the people who are starting this drug and are on this site and just as nervous as I was, do not worry and listen to your doctor. Don't think that taking this drug for a few days is going to "ruin your life". Its important to clear up the infection. you may get even sicker if you let the infection get worse..Just think if you asked a surviving cancer patient what his or her opinion of chemo is you'd probably get a response like "it was hell but I'm alive" and those side effects would be waaaaay worse then the potential side effects you are going to experience from this drug. Sometimes w | F | 29 | 7 days | 1/11/2009 | 5 | Bladder infection | No side effects at all, very well tolerated and worked quickly for me. | Found this to be a wonderful drug for me. Cleared up bladder infection quickly with no side effects. | F | 33 | 10 days | 1/19/2009 | 5 | parasite/intestinal infection | none | I took this medicine for the 5 day course, and my symptoms have completely improved. No side effects whatsoever. I went from having 3 weeks of uncontrollable diarrhea and abdominal pain, to being completely back to normal after the cipro. | F | 34 | 5 days | 1/18/2009 | 5 | Sinus Infection | Mild stomach upset | This medicine cleared up a sinus infection that would not clear up with z-pac. I felt better in two days with minimal side effects other than a mildly upset stomach. | F | 42 | 10 days | 1/25/2009 | 5 | Crohn's Disease | None! I took this medication for 5 years and it really helped put my Crohn's Disease in remission in combination with other meds. I really don't know what everyone is talking about. I guess it's maybe an allergic reaction. I had aches, fatigue, and all that before I took Cipro and am now back on 500 mg twice a day and am feeling so much better. | This drug can really help a lot of people. Don't let all these comments keep you from at least trying it. | F | 27 | 5 years | 1/29/2009 | 5 | UTI | slight dizziness when first getting up from seated, took longer to fall asleep at night, which I will gladly trade for a continuing UTI and potential kidney infection. | took cipro 250 twice daily for a UTI for three days. Infection cured quickly, no recurrence. I consider these side effects to be Minor and was dissapointed when I didn't see poodles or turn into a zombie as described here. It's been 48 hours since last dose, neck is a bit sore, but i have also been writing at my computer non stop for the past three days??? That might just be too rational a causation though, and probably won't help anyone sue their doctor. | F | 38 | 3 days | 2/9/2009 | 5 | Chest Congestion | This is the second time I have taken Cipro. The first time i did have dizziness once, but it went away quickly. This time there was no dizziness. There was a bit of nausea but that is to be expected with these kinds of drugs. | There are a lot of horror stories out there about this drug. However, it worked quickly and efficiently for me without drastic side effects. Amox couldn't touch this, but Cipro had me feeling better in two days. I would use it again. | F | 49 | 7 days | 4/27/2008 |
