| 5 | infection, skin | could not tolerate my morning coffee, or i would have a panic attack | F | 45 | 1X D | 12/4/2011 | 5 | Presumed Prostatitus | Frequent prostatitus (later, infections were found to be caused by continuous excess urine in a seriously stretched bladder) always cured by 500mg Cipro. Had another of these infectious attacks, went to the first doctor available who said, "let's kill this off once and for all". He prescribed 750 mg Cipro. After taking one I had terrible continuous vomiting & diarrhea (hours). I couldn't drive. A friend took me to the emergency room. After a 4 hour miserable wait I was finally rehydrated and told to not take Cipro again. | Now I have another infection. Doctor has me on bactrim. It doesn't seem to be working. Maybe I need Cipro. I know that 500 mg Cipro works, and works quickly based on past experience but I'm now afraid to take it (the ordeal was terrible). Maybe 500 mg would act as it always has in the past with no problems. Comments or suggestions? | M | 68 | | 1/17/2007 | 5 | Acute prostatitis | Dry mouth; occasional loose stool or its opposite; tiredness. | Cipro has always handled my roughly annual bouts with UTI; the new extended-release 500 mg is a step up. Previous non-Cipro Rx's were feeble in comparison. Kudos to the maker! | M | 80 | | 7/25/2006 | 5 | uti | no side effects what so ever over a 5 day course of treatment...i have also taken floxin, another fluoroquinolone for prostatitus for a period of 8 weeks daily with absolutely no side effects of course other than the infection being eliminated. Tequin is also a standard product in our house for the annual sinus infection...one course of treatment and the wife and I are good to go. | class taken multiple times varying from 5 days to 8 weeks. also wanted to point out that if you are going to experience a side effect, most will occur within a few doses of starting treatment, giving the drug time to build up to a certain level in the body. | M | 36 | | 2/17/2005 | 4 | UTI | Throbbing pain in my thighs, back of leg, buttocks, and sometimes my arms. The pain wasn't debilitating, but it made me want to stay still and just rest. I also had an upset stomach with loose stool. | The infection seemed to be gone within a few days. The side effects seemed to last a few days for me, but lessen with each day. | M | 23 | | 6/18/2006 | 4 | | 8/8/2006 | 4 | sinus infection | None | F | 60 | | 1/28/2001 | 3 | UTI | It is getting rid of the UTI, for sure, which Macrobid did not do, but I had absolutely NO SLEEP last night (first day on med), the one time toward 4 a.m. when I began to finally nod off, I had a horrible nightmare about a cobra snake cornering me in a room, it was hissing and its mouth was WIDE open | F | 51 | | 9/21/2006 | 3 | | 1/28/2005 | 3 | UTI | It is getting rid of the UTI, for sure, which Macrobid did not do, but I had absolutely NO SLEEP last night (first day on med), the one time toward 4 a.m. when I began to finally nod off, I had a horrible nightmare about a cobra snake cornering me in a room, it was hissing and its mouth was WIDE open | F | 51 | | 9/21/2006 | 3 | prostatitis | | 4/8/2009 | 2 | Urinary tract / bladder infection | I took the drug for the full 7 days subscribed. It cured the urinary tract infection but on the 7th day, I started to have a rash. On day 8, (first day off Cipro) I had full blown hives over my torso (front and back), arms etc. Terrible itching....hives were raised and blister red. Went to a walk-in clinic and was told it was reaction to cipro. Now am on a steroid to combact the allergic reaction to cipro. Today, 2 days after being off cipro, the rash has spread to my face and although the steroids are helping, they are now making me jittery etc. I have a known allergy to sulpha and told the physician this when he prescribed cipro. I now have listed in all my records that I am allergic to cipro. My worry now, after reading this site, is that the rash symptoms may not disappear? I did have some stiffness when I started to walk in the morning.....never connected it to the cipro. That has disappeared and was never severe. | F | 61 | | 11/17/2008 | 2 | acute colitis | It started with 18 days of diarrhea, headaches and now I am had overnight occurrence of popping joints throughout my body that will not stop. Please help if you know what to do. My doctors don't seem to be worried, I am. | I took this drug in combination with Flagyl. | F | 53 | | 1/29/2010 | 1 | Sinus infection | Joint and muscle pain legs and arms. Nightmares. Severe leg spasms. Hot flashes. | Had taken Cipro in past for sinus infections with no problem. This time did not realize it was the medication. Took it on two more occasions before it dawned on me it may be the Cipro. Stopped taking it. It took 1 1/2 years to be pain free. Still have some pain and swelling in right foot, hot flashes. Stick to a strict diet of only organic meat and dairy. Have been taking a low dose of neurontin - not sure if that does anything. If I'm not careful with diet, as at holidays, pain returns. | F | 69 | | 1/27/2010 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Caused such severe depressive spiral that I was forced to leave school for the semester. DO NOT TAKE | F | 24 | | 1/31/2010 | 1 | infection | severe depression, pain all over, skin rashes | F | 28 | 1X D | 2/12/2010 | 1 | Dr. Said | Permanent disability. Crippled me. | Another reviewer comments that she's experiencing side effects from Cipo, but that her doctors don't seem to care. Unfortunately, this is now not uncommon. We give incentives for people from third world countries to come to our universities and to practice here in the US. Often they're not really qualified, and the only reason they're here is due to white liberal guilt. Also, of course, whatever one thinks of Affirmative Action (and I used to support it--until a team of minority and third world doctors ended my life), it does mean that there are great numbers of unqualified women and minorities. The medical profession is not like it used to be. You really can't trust your doctor anymore. Check up every drug you're prescribed on your own. | M | 34 | 1X D | 2/12/2010 | 1 | UTI | I listed symptoms on here before but I wanted to come back again to to say that like many others my pains and aches have only gotten worse. Before the pain would slowly come on in the evening and night but now the pain in my tendons start as soon as I wake up now. The pain is worse in the tendons in my elbows, wrists, hands, feet and ankles! It's hard to do stuff around the house while my body aches. Even while laying down and resting I feel pain. I'm starting a detox regime hoping the pain will go away and I can restore my organs. | I believe cipro took care of the UTI but the side effects are just too scary and painful to take again. I'm going to my naturopath next time! Time to detox!!! | F | 25 | 500mg 1X D | 2/24/2010 History | 1 | Prostatitis | 1. Tendon pain in the knees and behind them. Pains started after 4th tablet. Slight pains, coming and going. I kept taking it, since there was no warning that I had to stop and doctor told me that I worry too much about it(!). After I quit, it became more severe in 2 weeks, then gradually disappeared 1.5 months after discontinuation. I was fine for 1 month, until I tried rollerblading. Pains came back and stay now with no improvement for 2 months. Barely walking. Muscle weakness. Still having them. 2. Heart palpitations. Started on 8th day. Just brief episodes. Three weeks after discontinuation they suddenly became horrific, violent and endless, continued for another 3 weeks. 12500 per 24 hours! I worn heart monitoring device and visited emergency. I was in hell and thought that I am going to die soon... 3. Insomnia, inability to concentrate, severe anxiety, panic attacks. Almost resolved by now. Had them for 3 months after discontinuation. 4. Hypothyroidism. Got cured on it | It's a fluorine positioning. Like with many of you, doctors were fooling around with me, convincing me that it can not be from Cipro! ITS A MAFIA! They all instructed to say the same thing! When I complained after 1st episode of tendon pain, doc told me that it can't be from Cipro - he said that he gave it to hundreds of people and no one complained! The horrible leg pain, which started during the antibiotic course and lasting for months no way can be from Cipro. How childish it sounds... I saw 4 doctors and the first thing they do – they looks for “other reasons”, like rheumatoid arthritis or some kind of coincidence! The state of US health care is outrageous... Who are these people??? Kaiser Permanente poisoned me. They didn’t even do the test to see if I have an infection… I don't understand why I need a medical insurance. So that doctors would kill me??? No more trust! I had to figure out myself, that I had fluorine positioning as many of you. There are some remedies, how to remove the fluorine from your body: http://www.naturalnews.com/026605_fluoride_fluorides_detox.html The bad thing – fluorine can stay in your body for a long time and keep poisoning you. This medication is very DANGEROUS. 1) Side effects come or intensify, even after discontinuation. 2) Doctors refuse to associate it with cipro and do a proper treatment. 3) Side effects are very long term and unpredictable. 4) NO adequate warnings regarding tendon pa | M | 36 | 500 1X D | 2/24/2010 History | 1 | Elective surgery for mole removals | This last week, increasingly "stabbing" pain in my left kidney. I just took my morning dose and asked my son "Google Cipro and see if it can cause kidney problems." Why is this stuff still on the market - and why don't doctors know about the meds they prescribe. I am on my way to ER now - to see what they can do. Several sites said if your kidneys are involved - don't mess around. The Dermatologist prescribed this (over a 10-week course of surgeries) so I wouldn't get infections at the wound sites. Not having a kidney is worse...I would think. | M | 53 | 500mg 2X D | 3/11/2010 | 1 | UTI | Severe lower back pain, pain and coldness in my hands, flu like symptoms, increased urination | I read the reviews before starting cipro and thought people were just too sensitive...I now wish I could turn back time. I took cipro for 3 days and right before my last dose I started having pain in my lower back, joints and pelvic region. My hands are freezing cold and they hurt. I can only imagine that this is what arthritis feels like in older people. I am usually very active and run 3+ miles several times a week. I can't run any longer, my feet are killing me. I honestly feel like a 90 year old woman right now. Going back to Dr. I will never take cipro again. | F | 41 | 500mg 1X D | 3/15/2010 History | 1 | infection | Large bright red rash on face + patches of white scars. Cipro makes you extremely sensitive to sunlight. Your doctor should tell you this; if they didn't, find another doctor. This has not healed in over 5 years. I am stuck with a bright red face now; the scarring is white, so it basically is as noticeable as can be. | I would never take this drug again. Others compare it to poison and I really think it is. | M | 19 | 1X D | 4/6/2010 | 1 | Ear Infection | M | 49 | 500 MG 1X D | 7/10/2010 History | 1 | An incompetent Dr prescirbed me it | Rash on face, extreme sensitivity to sunlight, depression | M | 18 | 1X D | 7/22/2010 | 1 | infection | Full anaphylaxis. Within 15 minutes of taking my first dosage, my throat was almost totally closed off and the paramedics and firemen are my heroes. I took this drug for a bladder infection and I took one pill. My eyes totally swelled shut, my lips were so swollen they were out to my nose. I received massive doses of steroids, epinephrine, and Benadryl. The doctors commented if my mother would have driven me the ten minutes to the hospital instead of the paramedics (who were able to give me medication) I would not have survived. Be aware if you have known allergies to medications when you start a medication you have never taken before but especially this antibiotic | F | 30 | 1X D | 7/23/2010 | 1 | Dr said | Burns on face, extreme sensitivity to sunlight, dried out eyes, red eyes, depression, achy bones. | A worthless affirmative action Dr. give me this for more much longer than is usually prescribed. He said it was safe. | M | 19 | 1X D | 7/30/2010 | 1 | Suspected Prostate Infection | M | 48 | 500mg 1X D | 9/25/2010 History | 1 | HORRIFIC MISTAKE | CIPRO DESTROYS LIVES! | WE CANNOT ALLOW BAYER AND THE FDA TO CONTINUE CRIPPLING UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE WITH THIS POISON!

Do not take NO for an answer!!! | M | 32 | 1X D | 1/23/2012 | 1 | prostatitis | pain in elbows, calves, thumbs,hips | was prescribed Cipro after workplace injury (torsion of right testicle and crushing injury, let heavy things fall!) While being examined regarding injury surgeon kept commenting on my tendon visible in ultra sound being stretched to breaking point, was always asking what I was doing to cause it. | M | 46 | 50mg 3X D | 11/29/2011 | 1 | Prostatitis | Only took 4 pills before developing horrible tendonitis. Could not even rest my legs on the floor while sitting do to the pain. Thankfully 2 weeks later I am recovering and am able to walk a bit again. I hope to make a full recovery but I will never take this drug again let alone anything in its class. | M | 25 | 500 2X D | 9/19/2011 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Cipro cleared up infection but has caused 13 MONTHS OF PAIN in every joint and muscle. Wouldn't wish this pain on my worst enemy. | At first I presented with intense burning pain. Felt like a blow torch was burning my arms, legs and feet. Within an hour my heart was pounding painfully. When I tried to walk, my legs felt incredible weak--and as if there were tight bands at my knees and hips. Never had a problem falling to sleep. After Cipro Insomnia won't let up--I get maybe 4 hours of sleep on a good night. It's been 13 months and there are days when I need a wheelchair because my legs hurt so bad. Before Cipro, I used to work out everyday. Now I can barely walk. DO NOT RISK TAKING THIS DRUG for a simple infection. IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. | M | 22 | 1 pill 1X D | 10/12/2011 | 1 | F | 54 | 1X D | 10/13/2011 | 1 | Watch this video before you decide to ingest this poison: www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/health/jan-june11/antibiotics_06-16.html | F | 40 | 1X D | 6/17/2011 | 1 | UTI | Tingling, Numbness, blurry, anxiety, heart beat. I am glad for this forum and I am having the symptoms as of right now. I've never had any medical reaction and I can't believe that this drug is out there with so many negative responses I've just researched! We need to do something against this and get rid of this product!!! I want to get better and not worse! | F | 30 | 500 1X D | 6/24/2011 | 1 | for infection had breast cancer | tendon heel pain both feet cant walk | cipro ruined my life and the way i feel right now about this med i dam the person that invented it and ruining someones life like this i cry everyday in pain | F | 47 | 2X D | 8/1/2011 | 1 | If you are suffering from an adverse reaction to Cipro, more information about this drug and its side effects can be found at the yahoo group fqresearch.org, the Facebook Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Group, cafepharma.com, and many other sites, including a growing number of blogs. Type "Cipro" + "side effects" into Google and Google Blogs and follow the links. | M | 51 | 1X D | 1/27/2011 | 1 | UTI Infection | I think I have most of them. Heart arrythmias, digestive problems, blurry vision, tinnutus, tendonitis, body & hands tremors, muscle twiches, muscle weakness, brain fog, severe pain, breathing difficulties, insomnia, depression etc. | I was given this in IV form. In a cruel twist of fate, I took cipro for 1 day and had immediate bad reaction, burning pains on my shoulders and back. I went to ER with these symptoms and they didn't make a connection with the drug. They then proceeded in giving me even more in IV form and another 3 weeks in oral form. I started getting the really serious symptoms aprox a month after finishing the dose. I'm really angry and upset, I wish this world wasn't such a sesspit of evil scum who'll hurt innocent people for the sake of profit. The whole thing is just immoral, this drug should be removed immediately. | M | 45 | 500 MG 1X D | 4/27/2011 History | 1 | SIBO | Days 3 and 4 my face swelled up, total wipe out fatigue, chills, just overall sick, sick, sick. On the evening of the 4th I was starting to feel much better but my achilles heel started to hurt a little. Day 5 felt even better but now it was more than just a sensation with the heel it definately hurts. Discontinued cipro but continuing until day 7 with Flagyl. | I have had just about all the bad effects one can have from CIPRO...didn't help that my doc had just given me steroids a couple weeks earlier. sigh. UPDATE 6/20/11: After this I took every vitimin I could find on the web that said it might block the Cipro...but still went on to have severe insomnia...up for days. Found it alters the seratonin and GABA, I tried meletonin had little effect then used Lithium Orotate 5mg ...instant relief! The sleep helped my heels significantly. Sleep is stable now even without the lithium orotate. I can stand now, heels still flare up but not nearly as severe. But still dealing with terrible muscle fatigue in arms and legs. I tire out just walking through a grocery store, difficult to brush my teeth...not sure how to recover from that yet. Will post again if I can find a solution. | F | 42 | 500 1X D | 6/20/2011 History | 1 | I took levaquin, floxin, and avelox | My life has never been the same. I was prescribed these drugs for lung infections. I now live with severe neuropathy, anxiety,vibration sensations, burning sensations, mental fogginess, muscle twitching, gastric problems, tachycardia, sleepness, fear, phobias. My life has been a challenge. | F | 54 | | 4/6/2007 | 1 | uti | worst dizziness I could imagine and high blood pressure from norm of 90/50 to 160/90 and sense of fear and nausea and dry mouth ,later discovered did't even have uti,poisoned myself with Cipro never again am a nurse doctors disagree with me phamacist agreed said he's seenit before and too many in denial | F | 48 | | 7/23/2005 | 1 | Post surgical anti-biotic | Mental hallucinations. Uneasy feeling. Physical balance offset. After telling the Doc of these reactions, he discounted them as if to claim it was "just me". Oh contraire, I talked to a pharmacist who brought me the PDR insert which paralleled all my side effects. | I would not recommend anyone to take this drug. I've encountered others who have had various negative experiences. This is the first drug, in my history, I upfront say I'm allergic to! | F | 50 | | 10/17/2001 | 1 | for Bronchitis | My 38 year old daughter was given Cipro (Samples) for what the Dr. said she thought was bronchitis, No sputum culture was done -- but the Dr. said my daughter should feel much better in a few days after taking Cipro. Two days later our daughter died quite suddenly and unexpectedly. She had major kidney problems -- and it as only after her death we learned individuals with kidney or liver problems should NOT take Cipro -- or only if it is the | I would NEVER recommend Cipro to anyone. Doctors seem to freely dispense | F | 74 | | 4/9/2005 | 1 | for a bladder infection | I have hadhorrible cramping and diarrhea. Since I already have irritable bowl syndrome, this is a scary situation to be in, because I am not sure whether it is the Cipro or IBS causing the discomfort.Some information says a special kind of diarrhea can happen because of the drug. | I hate this drug with a passion. I have had four bladder infections this past year, and my medical provider keeps pushing it on me, saying it is the best thing going. Yeah, right.... | F | 67 | | 5/7/2007 | 1 | sinus infection(s) | immediate destruction of my body and mind with 1st dose | I posted my devastating effects concerning quinolones on the levaquin "rate this drug". You can find more about the adverse reactions of quinolones at this website: http://www.fqresearch.org/ and even on www.cipro.com or www.levaquin.com . As for me, my immune system is breaking down, after 2 years of h** from the results of taking this drug AND THE DEGRADING EFFECTS OF DOCTORS WHO IGNORED MY CONSTANT COMPLAINTS AND ACTUALLY LAUGHED/SNICKERED IN MY FACE. That's what hurts the most, not the 4 types of cancer i'm now facing, death would be welcomed compared to the pain and humiliation that I felt w/every doctor I've spoken to (except the last one, Dr. William Odom, he KNOWS about quinolones, he was ready to begin detoxing my body of quinolones, when lymphoma cancer was recently dx'd and now waiting for the degree. 3 types of skin cancer, some already have been removed, but there are more. I am NOT looking for sympathy or pity. I just want the truth out there. Peace, Sandie Hu | F | 51 | | 6/6/2007 | 1 | Supposed UTI | violent sudden unbearable headache, vomiting, fatigue, numbness, tingling hands and feet, arms and legs. Completely unable to function properly. Pain in chest so bad I thought I was having a heart attack. | TAKE THIS OFF THE FDA APPROVED LIST. IT CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE AND ACCORDING TO THE SIDE EFFECTS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. | F | 59 | | 6/30/2007 | 1 | c diff | horrible side effects...yellow skin even. | don't take this. it has a black box warning now. | | 11/4/2008 | 1 | infection picked up in hospital | increased pain, burning, dizziness, vomiting, fatigue, 'crawly' skin, nervousness. I began to feel ill within 20 minutes of taking a dose, and it just got worse. After thowing up a dose (and the food I took it with)I called the doctor. Very blandly they said, "yeah it's a little hard on the G.I. system but we hoped you could cope with it." Thanks for the warning!!! Haven't used antibiotics in years but I was pretty sure you're supposed to feel better, not considerably worse. They switched me to Bactrim. A little better, just incredible fatigue with that. | I am glad this drug works for some people...it was extremely harsh (and expensive) and increased the pain, plus the awful side effects. Not impressed. | F | 40 | | 9/2/2006 | 1 | for prostatitis | had severe pain in right hip ,thigh ,calf ,heel ,ankle ,and achilles tendon. i have been in constant pain for 48 days. | i would not give cipro to a animal. it needs to be baned. | M | 68 | 500 mg 2X D | 1/11/2012 | 1 | To the person below who asked if it's possible to diagnose Cipro toxicity in a lab analysis: No, it is not. Cipro toxicity evades all current forms of testing. This of course leads to sufferers being labeled as "crazy" or "hypochondriac" by their doctors. Is there any cure? No. There is no cure once you have been poisoned by Cipro. If you're lucky, time is the only escape. Lots and lots of time. Now perhaps you understand why there is such pessimism about this condition. It is hell on earth, and there is little to no help available. | PS. There are no "experts" on Cipro toxicity other than actual sufferers. The medical community largely denies that Cipro even does this to people. They're all sucking on Big Pharma's teat and have financial incentives to turn a blind eye to this. We're on our own here. | F | 39 | 2X D | 8/11/2013 | 1 | UTI | F | 40 | 500mg 1X D | 4/23/2012 History | 1 | CRIPPLED BY CIPRO? CALL GREG BABE, BAYER'S CEO AND DEMAND ANSWERS!!! (412) 777-2000.

CALL GREG BABE, BAYER'S CEO AND RAISE ABSOLUTE HELL FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO YOU!!!!!!!!! (412) 777-2000 | M | 1X D | 5/9/2012 | 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 | UTI | Still crippled thanks to Cipro I took years ago now. And when I say crippled, I mean CRIPPLED...on disability and everything. Have to use a wheelchair to go anywhere, or a scooter if I want to attempt grocery shopping.

As a result I developed severe joint, muscle, tendon and ligament pain and damage to my arms. | Please is you are a UTI sufferer visit: http://www.squidoo.com/d-mannose It's a story of my personal battle with cystitis and how I have been infection free since last August thanks to d-mannose. I'm not selling anything or making a profit off the site I just want more people to know they don't have to suffer like I did and risk the horrendous side effects from antibiotics. D-mannose is a natural sugar that prevents E-coli bacteria from adhering to bladder walls and causing infection. Safe no side effects. Nothing short of a miracle. | F | 28 | | 5/8/2009 |
