  | F M | | | | |||
| 1 | uti | Central,autonomic and peripheral nerve damage. Crazy tight muscles and tendonitis. | Boy, I wish I would have found this site before I took these devil pills. These pills has destroyed my life. I'm still suffering years after taking them. I have taken every test possible and have seen many top doctors and they have come up with no answers to my damage except Cipro. I've taken at least 4-5 courses in my lifetime. The last one really did me in. | F | 47 | 10 days 10 pills | 6/14/2017 | 1 | Staph Infection | Mind fog, depersonalization, muscle aches, muscle stiffness, joint pain, increased anxiety, joint popping, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, memory problems. There's so many others that I can't even remember them all. | I immediately stopped taking Cipro after I had some nasty side effects and after conducting research, I figured out how damaging this medication is to your body. I'm an avid guitar player and have been playing for four years and since I've realized that this drug can damage your joints, it has absolutely terrified me. I have popping in my pelvis region when I walk and in my arms and ankles as well. This is scaring me to death. Please don't take Cipro, ask for anything else. I am terrified all of the time of what my future holds or if I'll even be able to play the guitar, let alone walk. I am 17 years old, Teenagers are not supposed to be worrying about this sort of thing. If I lose the ability to walk or play the guitar, I will be shattered. Life will lose all purpose and there won't be any reason to continue living. This joint popping occurred roughly one day after stopping it and I'm just hoping that it will stop eventually. Cipro is not worth it unless if your life depends on it and you will die without it. I took only 7 pills and I'm just hoping for the best. I already have severe anxiety and this is not helping one bit. Peace, everyone. -CR | M | 17 | 3 days 500 | 5/30/2017 | 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 | For a suspected prostate infection | Chronic fatigue, excercise intolerance, peripheral neuropathy, depersonalization, anxiety, depression,tendon pain, joint pain. | DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG IT COULD DESTROY YOUR LIFE! DO YOUR RESEARCH! PLEASE BELIEVE ME!!!!! | M | 57 | 3 days 500 | 5/2/2017 | 1 | UTI | Complete zap of energy!! Awful! Not sleepy--just had no energy to do basic routine. I stopped after 4 days - could not continue...it was prescribed for 10 days. | F | 52 | 10 days 500 mg 2X D | 4/22/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | Never take this drug! In just one dose, I felt I aged 30 years. Joints and muscles hurt, ribcage hurt and back as well. Hard to walk and achiles got quite tender. Hoping you get better each day. It's been a week and I still feel symptoms. The drug should be banned!!! | F | 32 | 1 days 500 mg | 4/17/2017 | 1 | UTI | Heart palpitations, upset stomach, headaches and loose stools. | It's been approximately 5 weeks since I've been off Cirpo. I still have loose stools, bloating, gas, lower left and right abdominal pain, no poop on toilet paper after bowel movement, feels like my circulation is being cut off from my legs. This medication was horrible I was supposed to take it for a month stopped after 2 weeks. | M | 29 | 2 weeks 500mg | 4/15/2017 | 1 | Erysipelas | . I have been on and off of Cipro many times during the last 15 years. I used to go for long walks with our dogs and was able to walk 10km without tiring. One day, I suddenly could not stand up from a chair. My joints felt stiff and painful and I could barely walk. On another occasion, my feet suddenly felt like the bones were rubbing against each other, with sudden sharp pains. I could not walk and was diagnosed with ankle arthrosis. Then my knees started to be constantly painful and make noises, and I was diagnosed with knee arthrosis. I can hardly walk any distance anymore, stairs are almost impossible and standing up, walking, climbing stairs causes lots of pain. I am on disability since I was 51 yrs old and am permanently retired now, at age 58! If I want to visit a museum, or recreation park or any place where I have to walk a lot, I'd need a wheel chair to get around. In spite of losing about 35kg of weight, my problems and pains still get worse year after year. This all sta | After getting allergies from all other antibiotics, Cipro was the only I could take to reduce infection of my legs due to erysipelas. At times I took one package to get rid of an infection, other times I was put on Cipro/antibiotics long term to prevent new infection. I am on antibiotics again, this time Cefuroximaxetil, apparently have no or little side effects from this and... no allergy! I suggest trying any and all other antibiotics before agreeing to cipro, even if the cipro might help quickly, but the risks that come with it are too high. You risk ruining your active physical life completely, and that can lead to depression,too... plus the constant pain and medication taken for that can have a strong impact on your body and emotional life! Be very careful if you do take this drug, rest a lot and watch for signs of side effects and sudden pain. Have seen people with worse conditions than mine who actually are in a wheel chair now after taking cipro and tearing a meniscus tendon! I wouldn't mind if they finally take this drug off the market, even if I am one of the people who had been depending on it! | F | 58 | 11 months 500 2X D | 4/5/2017 | 1 | Bacterial intestinal inflammation | Tremors, anxiety, panic attacks, brainfog, insomnia, intolerance towards many foods, medicines, vitamins and supplements, concentration issues, light sensitivity, ever-present tingling sensation in my right foot, heart palpitations, difficulty in reading and understanding, spells of severe depression, weakness, fatigue, delayed and slow reactions to situations and questions, spells of memory loss. | It has destroyed the abilities and the intelligence of a poet, an intellectual thinker, a guy known for witty replies and unmatched sense of humour and timing. This poison has changed the personality of a guy named Rawal Afzal - myself that is! I took it 14 months ago but this poison never seem to get out of my body. I canīt remember the last time I was well for three straight days! Avoid drugs from the class of Fluoroquinolone or Quinolone, even as eye or ear drops - any form! If youīve taken it, then donīt take any NSAID pain-killers at least six months after it. If itīs a case of fluoride toxicity in your case, giving up on consuming fluoridated water and other products (such as tea bags) might relieve a tiny bit of your symptoms. Worth a try! | M | 26 | 7 days 250 2X D | 3/22/2017 | 1 | Mycoplasma | Total body joint pain and swelling, could not walk for weeks, terrible pain, short term memory loss, brain fog, rashes, new food allergies, bad GI issues, extreme fatigue, nausea, peripheral neuropathy, shredding tendons in ankles, weight loss, depression | Most Doctors don't believe because it doesn't show in blood but full body exploded at once. 8 months out and was doing ok until 2 weeks ago and ankles blew up, weak, swollen, popping and very very painful. Extreme fatigue floaters in eyes all for no apparent reason. Please DO NOT take this drug or any fluoroquinolones | F | 18 | 4 days 500mg | 3/18/2017 | 1 | UTI | Arm weakness, elbow pain, tendonitus, Achilles tendon problems in both legs hadsurgery, diahreah, digestive problems mule weakness, fatigue, depression,. | This drug disabled me, there is no cure an no help to recover from it. There is also no medical code for disability that this drug has caused. | F | 56 | 14 days 250 2X D | 3/17/2017 | 1 | Why was I, my urine sample was negative | Tendonitis, peripheral neuropathy, chronic fatigue, depersonalizaton,muscle weakness, headache, fasciculations,dry eye, sensitivity to light, cracking joints. F.U. Bayer, FDA, my doctor and pharmacist! | Has ruined my once healthy active life | M | 57 | 3 days | 3/17/2017 | 1 | NONE | I posted over a year ago questioning some of the side effects reported here for CIPRO. I want to apologize for even questioning any of these reports. I think the pharmaceutical industry is criminal and corrupt. They have also completely ruined my life and future. All aspects of myfuture have been destroyed by them. I wish to apologize again and my heart goes out to all of those suffering from damage done by the pharmaceutical industry. | M | 19 | 1X D | 3/5/2017 | 1 | Urethritis | Severe muscle, joint and tendon pain. Difficulty walking at times, had to quit my job as a bartender because my legs are not able for it anymore. Peripheral neuropathy, muscle twitching, all over body pain, cracking joints with every little movement, the list goes on. | Do not ever take this drug, it is pure poison! I normally research medications but never did this time, worst mistake of my life. I only took one pill and it has destroyed my quality of life. I can't work now, can't exercise or do anything strenuous. It's 12 weeks since I took that pill and things are only getting worse, I really don't think I'll ever be the same again after taking this stuff. A strong, healthy, active 32 year old and one pill is all it takes to ruin your life. Avoid at all costs!!! | M | 32 | 1 days 500mg | 2/9/2017 | 1 | UTI | Nausea, joint pain, feeling weak, disoriented but anxious at night. | This drug should be taken off the market! I was supposed to take 500 mg for 3 days but only did 2 days as the side effects were not tolerable. My hip hurt so bad and I felt drowsy during the day yet anxious at night. Next time I'll stick to D-Mannose and just drink 4 liters of water each day. Cranberry juice makes bladder pain worse for me. | F | 40 | 3 days 500 mg 1X D | 2/2/2017 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Hallucinations, weakness in the knees/leg, ankle pain | Scary drug. Should not be used under any situation. You can heal from this. I promise you. Look in to water-fasting. Tanglewood Wellness Center in Costa Rica. Loren Lockman can help. It saved my life. It can save yours too. | M | 29 | 3 days 30mg 2X D | 1/26/2017 | 1 | UTI | Joint pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness | This medicine ruined my life. After just 3 doses I could barley walk. It's been six months and the doctors still don't know what's wrong and deny this drug had anything to do with the weakening of my joints. I was healthy and active before this. I hope my future isn't in a wheelchair. | F | 22 | 2 days 500mg | 1/8/2017 | 1 | Protatitis | Ended up using a cane for a year. Achilles injured. All major joints ache, hips, knees, and neck especially. Peripheral neuropathy. Numb lower face to my chest that occurred during the 2nd month of use and has not gone away, 2 years later and counting. Chest pain. Occasional micro seizure like events. Fatigue. Bone pain. Muscle pain. Possibly nerve pain. Anxiety. Regret. I guess these things happen? Only positive is that my Achilles doesn't hurt as much, but my joints seem to be rapidly getting worse. Scary stuff. Trying to remain positive but I keep having symptoms, hence why I am here 2 years after ingesting nearly 90 pills. | I took it for just under three months everyday. Mode of action is discovered. Doctors in India did a study and discovered after just 72 hrs, your bloods natural antioxidant was depleted by almost 80%. Imagine the implications of such an oxidative stress event. Cartilaginous lesions implicated as well. | M | 29 | 3 months 500 | 12/9/2016 | 1 | Protatitis | Ended up using a cane for a year. Achilles injured. All major joints ache, hips, knees, and neck especially. Peripheral neuropathy. Numb lower face to my chest that occurred during the 2nd month of use and has not gone away, 2 years later and counting. Chest pain. Occasional micro seizure like events. Fatigue. Bone pain.

Doctors in India did a study and discovered after just 72 hrs, your bloods natural antioxidant was depleted by almost 80%. Imagine the implications of such an oxidative stress event. Cartilaginous lesions implicated as well. | M | 29 | 3 months 500 | 12/9/2016 | 1 | UTI | I only took one dose (500mg) and began experiencing the side effects. I cannot concentrate. I have brain fog. After reading the reviews I am stopping the medicine completely. I didn't even have a major infection. The doctor simply prescribed Cipro for a precautionary step. At this point I could only hope that the damage won't be permanent. I used Cipro in the last (2 times at least). Once it made me shaking. I thought Cipro was helping me to fight the bacteria, but probably my body was fighting against Cipro. AVOID this drug at all costs. I curse all the responsible entities (from doctors to the Bayer to FDA). | M | 33 | 1 days 500 1X D | 12/5/2016 | 1 | Antibiotic | I put this medicine on my ALLERGY list. This thing made me so nauseous and I vomited uncontrollably. While driving home and sitting in the passenger seat, I had to vomit so suddenly that I didn't have time to tell the driver to pull over....and I didn't have time to roll down my window! I opened the door while the car was going about 25 mph, and stuck my head out and threw up projectile-style and covered the entire back end of the car with vomit. Maybe this is TMI but I want to warn people of the violent side effects I experienced. | F | 34 | 7 days 1X D | 11/15/2016 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Had severe lightheadedness, felt not normal like I was losing my mind, muscle and joint pain took for 10 days thought still having issues from diagnosis. 24 hours after felt somewhat better. Dr wanted me to extend 4 more days but I am afraid to after the way I was feeling. Still have the lightheadedness some. Hope it goes away soon. I read after stopping can have affects for a while after 😩Had taken before no affects like this but I won't take again it was scary. | F | 51 | 10 days 500 mg | 10/25/2016 | 1 | Today marks SEVEN YEARS since I was poisoned by this medication. Seven years since my independent life came to an abrupt and completely unanticipated end. Who would have ever imagined that 12 FDA-approved antibiotic pills taken over the course of six days could permanently cripple a previously-healthy 30-year-old? I sure didn't. I am now 37 years old, living back with my parents and collecting SSDI. All because I trusted my doctor & the FDA. Shame on me, and shame on them! And as always: DEATH TO BAYER! | I have now spent the past 2,555 days in bed, as I am no longer able to walk thanks to Cipro. My condition only gets worse with time. A year ago I was merely housebound; now I am completely bedridden. I haven't left my house or been outside in nearly a year now. I haven't even seen my own kitchen since last November (I can no longer do stairs so I am confined to my bedroom). I am truly just waiting to die at this point. Those 12 pills completely destroyed all of my tendons/joints/connective tissue. Doctors have been of absolutely no help (often quite the contrary). If you at all care about your life, stay the hell away from this antibiotic and all others in its class. Cipro can destroy your body & your life in ways you cannot even begin to imagine. If you'd like to learn the TRUTH about this poison, visit my website: www.ciproispoison.com | M | 37 | 6 days 500 2X D | 10/25/2016 | 1 | Minor infection | Deep aching arm pain. Deep aching (unbearable) muscle pain in upper torso. Sense of being 'out of it' as if drunk during courses. Massive fatigue completely out of character always sleeping. Severe nausea and difficulty eating normal food, consequently weight loss and loss of muscle and fitness. Developed severe IBS where gut would paralyse after eating with exertion. Back pain. Neck pain. Shoulder problems. Tight muscles as if they lost all their collagen. Eventually severe weakness lost use of arms entirely, improved after months but unable to withstand repetitive use or normal level of activity to this day years later. Many effects came one month later and have not gone away. Why is there no zero rating !? | Stay clear unless your life depends on it. The doctors and the medication leaflet don't come close to warning the public adequately. Doctors are so ill informed about this class of drugs and often don't recognise the side effects as they emerge and that puts patients at risk of not realising the cause of the new health problems and then taking it again. Many will never make the links to their poor health after these drugs. Side effects can be delayed (Dr Beatrice Golomb describes why this might be) and symptoms can remit and relapse. That sounds strange but one thing to remember with this drug is 'collagen degradation'. Sometimes the problems don't hit until you really try to load the tissues. You can feel fine again but then you try to go to the gym and your body can't withstand it. The warnings don't come close to conveying this reality. Just imagine how many cases of fibromyalgia and other pain conditions, 'idiopathic' neuropathies, and overuse injuries are really side effects of cipro?????? This is why the side effects look rare because side effects get diagnosed as other problems by unsuspecting or unbelieving doctors. | F | 30 | 5 months 1000mg | 10/1/2016 | 1 | UTI | Anxiety, rapid heart beat, increased tinnitus, mental fog, tingling in extremeties, headaches | This stuff is no joke. Was prescribed this for UTI and stopped after just 2 doses.After 1 week, the tinnitus is still there, but other side effects seem to have subsided. For those who need to detox from this nasty drug, magnesium chelate and NAC are recommended in other forums I've read. | M | 42 | 6 days 250 mg 2X D | 8/16/2016 | 1 | prostatitis | Heart palpitations, severe anxiety, severe insomnia. | As a result of my insomnia - which kept me up for 48 hours at a time - and anxiety I got addicted to benzodiazapines - another dangerous class of drugs that are over-prescribed - which was most unpleasant to fix. I also think it damaged my immune system as I simultaneously developed psoriatic arthritis along with the stated symptoms. Flouroquinalones are well-documented to cause all sorts of very bad side effects, some permanently disabling. There are support groups and at least one documentary that document such. A number of drugs in this class have been banned in Europe because of the side effect profile. They should never be used as a first-resort antibiotic but they often are. It took me two years of hell to recover from my side effects and I still don't sleep like I used to and find it hard to get motivated sometimes. Don't take any drug in this class unless your life depends on it. Really. | M | 66 | 30 days 500 mg 2X D | 8/16/2016 | 1 | UTI | GI upset, joint pain, difficulty walking, fatigue, light sensitivity, memory loss, muscle weakness, muscle spasms, insomnia, heart palpitations | Stay far away! Don't use as a first line of defense if other milder antibiotics are available. Side effects linger and may not go away for a long time after stopping. | F | 36 | 7 days 500 mg | 8/13/2016 | 1 | Uti | Sick with severe flu symptoms for 3 weeks. | Do not take it. | F | 622 | 5 days | 8/8/2016 | 1 | UTI/Bladder infection | Took in 9/2014 for 7 days. 2 YEARS LATER - SUFFERING PERMANENT, DISABLING SIDE EFFECTS. While on Cipro - random ice pick pain in both hips, both knees, and shoulder. Terrible lower back pain. Pain all over body. After finishing med - felt like razor blades were slicing both achilles tendons. 8 weeks later - walked up and down stairs/next day could not walk. Both achilles tendons and calf muscles were frozen/taken in wheelchair to orthopaedic doctor. 6 weeks of PT can now walk, but can never dance, run, exercise, or stand on toes again due to permanent tendon damage. Recently had MRI - diagnosed with tendon damage and bursitis (painful inflammation) in both hips. Hips always painful. Have to lift myself off of car seat with both arms when I drive over speed bumps. Can't do any repetitive movements with my hips. Use heating pad on them and lay down a lot. Hurts to walk for too long in store. Cipro also damaged thyroid - caused hypothyroidism. Nails broke off in chunks after Cipro | RUN AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN FROM THIS POISON (while you can still run) I IMPLORE YOU - DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DRUG - IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. (THIS INCLUDES LEVAQUIN AND AVELOX,TOO) I have done a lot of research these past 2 painful years. Cipro was originally created for anthrax exposure only. It also has been used as a chemo drug, and it acts like a CHEMO drug. It is NOT an antibiotic. It works by damaging bacteria DNA, so they cannot replicate, but it also PERMANENTLY damages human DNA. Hundreds of thousands of people have been injured by this drug. Many are permanently bedridden - in chronic pain, crippled, cannot walk. There have been hundreds of thousands of complaints filed with the FDA. There are at least 4 Black Box warnings on this drug, which is the closest thing it can get to being pulled from the market. Warning #1: Tendon damage/rupture Warning #2: Permanent nerve damage Warning #3: Permanent Mitochondria Damage Warning #4: (Posted 7/26/16) As per FDA, "Can cause disabling and potentially permanent side effects of the tendons, muscles, joints, nerves, and central nervous system that can occur together in the same patient." IF YOU VALUE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE - YOU WILL NOT TAKE THESE MEDICINES AND ASK FOR ANOTHER, SAFER ANTIBIOTIC. CONSIDER THIS REVIEW AS GOD WARNING & PROTECTING YOU. Look up "Cipro is Poison" website to learn more. This website is about a healthy 30 year old guy who took 12 pills and has been bed-ridden for past 6 years. | F | 43 | 7 days 500 MG 2X D | 7/31/2016 | 1 | UTI | extreme pain of muscles with burning and crawling sensation of my skin, that bad that I cried day and night and no painkillers worked on this. The pain went through stomach, to sides, to back, to arms and hands to my hips and tights, I thought I am dying as I never experienced such an extreme pain. I was on morphine 5 weeks and out of work as I was weak and unable to walk, my legs became so weak from my knees down. later I developed burning and numbness over my face and on the top of my head. Severe diarrhea two weeks after finishing the dose. Terrible nausea, was scared to fall a sleep in the night as I felt like I am loosing myself, and will never wake up. Temperature moving from 37.8 to 33.2 through 15 minutes. Severe pain in carpool nerve on right hands suddenly from one day to another. Went to ER more than 10 times, all were looking at me like I am crazy, as all results were ok. Totally lost appetite and lost 6 kg in 3 weeks.Was out of work more than two months as I was unable to | do not take it, ask doctor for second option! There is always the second option. This drug will screw you for more than 3 months, or even more and maybe forever. | F | 40 | 10 days 500 mg 2X D | 7/20/2016 | 1 | bladder | Wheelchair, unable to stand or walk, nerve stabbing pains in arms and left side of face. wasting, hair loss, gum loss, torture to do anything at all., Burn all over. | Former FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg named in massive conspiracy and racketeering lawsuit involving Johnson & Johnson, a Wall Street hedge fund, and the Levaquin drug. "This Amended Complaint sets forth allegations that involve a conspiracy by Defendants, each and every one of them, to reap large financial returns by failing to disclose to Plaintiffs and the public at large the full extent of the devastating, life-threatening, and deadly effects of a highly dangerous pharmaceutical drug named Levaquin," reads the opening of the lawsuit. The conspiracy complaint also alleges that over 5,000 people died as a result of Hamburg's conspiracy cover-up at the FDA: Once confirmed as FDA Commissioner, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg acted as the instrumentality that all Defendants used to perpetrate their conspiracy and racketeering enterprise by having her act illegally and outside the scope of her authority as FDA Commissioner to suppress material information to Plaintiffs and the public that Levaquin was inherently dangerous and in fact, deadly. Had this information been disclosed to Plaintiffs and the public at large, her and her husband's financial gain and net worth would have plummeted, since Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg's husband, Peter F. Brown, reaped and continues to reap huge financial gain as a result of Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C.'s holdings of Johnson & Johnson stock. | F | 50 | 1.5 days 2X D | 7/18/2016 | 1 | Diverticulitis and later for UTI | EXTREME FATIGUE, PAIN IN KNEES, HAND, LOWER BACK, NECK AND HIPS. I can hardly walk now due to the pain and lack of energy, My life has changed so much, I wish I had never taken this drug. | Should only be used in extreme emergency. The side effects are dreadful ! | F | 65 | 10 days 1X D | 7/13/2016 | 1 | Pyelitis uncomplicated | Tendon problems (femur/hip, feet, knees, elbows). Headache, fatigue, no concentration & cognition ability strongly reduced, depressed, not myself, low energy, low immune system, severe bronchitis, weeks of illness, other times feeling bad but working. Hair loss, finger nails broke off | I will never take it again, would not have taken it if I had been informed on the risks and do NOT RECOMMEND anyone to take it. I feel poisoned. And I try to get my health back since 1 year. I have been a vital and healthy person before this incidence and I am SHOCKED how severe and possibly irreversible this medicine is. I pray I will recover. I hope I will be able to do sports again. I do everything for it, but so far the tendons still worsen. The tricky thing: it all can come later and thus people might not link it to cipro first (I did not). all in all: DO NOT RISK IT, THERE MUST BE MORE REASONABLE MEDICATIONS OR ALTERNATIVE HERBS. | F | 42 | 9 days 500mg 2X D | 7/9/2016 | 1 | Completely devastated my once-healthy body, essentially ending my life. I would love to get my hands around the CEO's neck and strangle the life out of him for what his company's poison has done to my life. An eye for an eye, buddy. | 24/7/365 pain and suffering beyond anything I can even begin to put into words. | M | 1X D | 6/27/2016 | 1 | suspected inflammatory bowel diseas | Severe hives, heart palpitations, severe abdominal pain, angiodema | I feel like i have been poisoned. Two trips to the emergency room in the past 3 weeks and still have hives that are horrific. Pumped full of steroids.This drug is awful. | F | 38 | 5 days 500mg x2 | 6/23/2016 | 1 | suspected c diff | Immediately after the IV was entered I started to itch. It was dc'd immediately. Had an allergic reaction. | Deadly poison. Doctors are drug pushers who do not know how to cure anymore. Unfortunate. | M | 90 | 1 times 1X D | 6/21/2016 | 1 | Uti | Muscle pain, tremors, muscle spasms and twitches, muscle jerks, vision problems, floaters, dry eyes, blurriness, headaches, feeling like ants are biting me all over, insomnia, Heart palpitations and a racing heart, severe anxiety and panic attacks. | This medicine is poison. Please, do not take it. I took this medicine several times over the course of a few months for uti infections. My health started to decline and I didn't know what was wrong. Made a neurologist appointment, a appointment with a heart Doctor, an ER visit and several appointments to my primary care doctor trying to figure out what was wrong, all the while worried I was suffering from a neurological disease. Had a MRI done and the doctor said everything was fine. Heart Doctor said my heart was fine. Never thought at all it was the medicine. You see, cipro attacks your mitochondria. Destroying your nervous systems and your muscles and the effects do not go away after taking it which is why I never suspected the medicine. I could go on all day about this poison. If somebody takes up for this crap, clearly they must be making money from it. Numbers don't lie so please do research, these "side effects" are not uncommon like they want you to believe. This medicine should only be used in life or death situations, not handed out like candy. Please beware of cipro. | F | 27 | 6 times | 6/17/2016 | 1 | sinus infection | EXTREME FATIGUE , DRY MOUTH, WEAKNESS, DRY MOUTH, ANKLE PAIN, KNEE PAIN , BAD PAIN IN MY HIP, DIZZY, DEPRESSION, PAIN IN CALF'S , LOSS OF APPETITE , WEIGHT LOSS | THIS IS JUST PLAIN POISON ! , THIS IS A HUMAN KILLING DRUG , I WAS ON THE GYM 4 DAYS A WEEK AND NOW I AM SO SCARE TO RIP A TENDON APART, IS BEEN 2 WEEKS AND I STILL HAVE HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS , MUSCLE SPAMS ......THIS IS POISON DONT EVER TAKE THIS IF YOU LOVE LIFE | M | 50 | 3 days 500x 3 1/2 2X D | 6/16/2016 | 1 | UTI | On 2nd dose felt some neuropathy in lower legs but was busy so shook it off. Thought it was from another reason. 3rd dose 1/2 hr after taking while driving felt a wave of terror come over me. Had to make it through a traffic light while asking my kids in the back seat to pray for me. Thank The Lord I was picking up an older daughter who could drive. Thought it was just a wierd occurrence but decided to goggle and found this was not unusual to have this reaction. Thought I could use mind over matter, proceeded to go on a 6 lane rd only to have it strike again. I lumped out of the car and told my daughter to drive. I huddled in the passenger seat, younger daughter called an ambulance which my daughter cancelled bc there was an urgent care center around the corner. I had these episodes about every 15-20min apart. They hooked me up on a heart monitor and while lying down watched my heart rate spike to over 150. They wanted to give me Xanax or some other drug and I refused. That was all I needed, to have another drug reacting to this one. This was terrifying, humiliating and potentially deadly. I was headed to go out on the highway. What if this happened there? What if I didn't have the ER there? When I was released, noticed as I would try to rest, the drop off where your body goes to relax into sleep was a trigger to a less intense attack. So the drug cos win all around, antibiotic, anti anxiety meds and now sleep meds. I'm not taking anything. This junk was distributed by Dr. Re | Save your sanity, take amoxicillin, Augmentin etc. and drink lots of 100%Juice Cranberry at first sigh of UTI then u won't need meds! I ran out and didn't catch it in time... | F | 49 | 2 days 500mg 2x | 6/6/2016 | 1 | UTI | After 3 days on Cipro, I was unable to get out of bed, could not lift a coffee cup and had severe pain in my legs. Left achilles tendon hurt so much, I was unable to stand for more than 30 seconds at a time. Pain all over my body, swollen legs, horrible anxiety attacks (nothing bothered me previously) and had to take early retirement as I missed so much work. It's been almost two years and I'm still having problems. | Cipro is flat out poison and destroys active lives. I aged 10 years in one year. Doctors prescribed prednisone that made things worse along with heavy pain killers that almost turned me into an addict. | F | 64 | 3 days 500 2X D | 5/31/2016 | 1 | possible digestive infection | Lower back pain, shortness of breath, foggy feeling, extreme anxiety, felt like coming out of my skin. Literally had thoughts of suicide. Waves of despair and paranoia. Horrible metallic taste in mouth. Insomnia. Haven't slept much in 4 days. Tingling hands. Now hands are asleep while sleeping indicating peripheral neuropathy | Just Google Flagyl and Cipro lawsuits. There are firms dedicated to nothing but filing suit for people whose lives have been destroyed because of these drugs. I only took 7 pills of this poison and 7 pills of Flagyl before stopping. I believe both drugs in concert have caused the severe side affects to double. No way of knowing which one is worse. I've read that both are equally as horrible on their own. Side affects are still present after 3 days of being off. It is bar none the worst most insidious chemical I have ever put into my body. The people who developed it, sell it and approved it belong in prison. How the FDA allowed this nightmare drug on the market is beyond belief. I thought they were supposed to protect us. | M | 59 | 7 times 2X D | 5/26/2016 | 1 | Doctor said urinary infection | Thought it was normal,then after 6 hours,had the worst gastric attack ever. Very painful upper stomach pains. Can even taste the metallic taste of that med after 2 days. Headaches,very very bad nausea. | DO NOT TAKE THESE MEDS. Ask for other kinds. Would rather load up on sodium naproxen then take just one of these. These meds are murderous! | F | 39 | 1 days 250 mg | 5/25/2016 | 1 | Staph Infection | When I took this I was a healthy, normal 21 year old. Took this for a staph infection in my bladder. Took it and had to be hospitalized for three days. Peripheral neuropathy has stuck around 8 years later. Also had to deal with additional side effects like tinnitus (constant ringing in ears) and different health issues. If you have to take this medicine, please make sure you go over the potential side effects with your physician/pharmacist. Very important to talk about what peripheral neuropathy symptoms are before they get worse with this medicine. Physicians/pharmacists might blow you off but all I have to say is, web search neuropathy and cipro. It happens more than people think and I'm living proof. | F | 29 | 2 days 2X D | 5/24/2016 | 1 | Diverticulitis | 2 years unrelenting body wide tendonosis leaving me disabled | F | 54 | 8 days | 5/22/2016 | 1 | was given in IV pre-op | burning while being given through IV and body wide issues after causing nerve damage,tendon pain and tears,muscle pain and wasting,nearly every reaction listed to this drug I am still suffering with over 3 years later.this drug should only be used as last resort not first choice | cipro and all other fluoroquinolones are a last option antibiotic,not for just incase or for minor infections as they are so often used.there are black box warnings and new changes to labeling.learn what fluoroquinolone toxicity syndrome is before becoming the next victim,know that these adverse reactions are far from rare and can happen to any one,many times causing permenant issues and death.once they reach your threashold,whether first dose or multiple times there is no turning back once they get ahold of you and no treatment to reverse the issues they cause. | F | 56 | 1 days 1X D | 5/22/2016 | 1 | Diverticulosis | After 3 days began to have itching in my body.

If your on your death bed dying of infection, maybe you want to try it. I suffered for years and still suffer today with symptoms that are very slow to disappear. The drug is truly pure poison. I wish I had read these warnings years ago.

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 | BOILS | DOCTOR KEPT GIVING IT TO ME OVER & OVER WHO KNEW IT CAN CAUSE HOLES IN UR COLOR- BET PATTY DUKE HAD HEAVY DUTY ANTIBIOTICS B4 THE SEPSIS | GO FIGURE ;O | M | 40 | 100 days 2X D | 4/2/2016 | 1 | "Sounds as if they took the leaflet and copied all the side effects."

It was my first time exposure and unfortunately I'm still experiencing side effects long after stopping the drug. I don't know if this will be permanent but it has definitely altered my life. I can't work, I can't do the activities I used to and I'm 36. I feel like I'm 90. I would avoid this drug unless it's the only drug that will save your life. | F | 36 | 7 days 500 mg | 3/5/2016 |
