 1  Epididymitis I initially took Cipro Oral to treat Epididymitis and the Military Doc told me to take a 500 MG pill twice a day, so 1000 MG's a day for 10 whole days. I was very sick and did not know if it was from the Epididymitis or the effects of the Cipro on my body. This happened to me back in March of 2015, so just about eight months ago. I have had a very dry fuzzy tongue for 8 months, chest pain, which I was told I now have GERD, I feel fatigued, I always feel bloated, my muscles feel weak, and my eyes always burn, not to mention every tendon and joint in my body pops like crazy when I get out of bed in the morning. I just hope there is an end to all this suffering soon because I am normally a very healthy man, but I feel Cipro has taken that away from me. Please do your research before you take this drug, it should be removed from the market. M 25 10 days

 1   Today marks six years since I officially lost my life to 12 Cipro pills. Six years now since I've seen a gym. Six years since I've been to a mall. Six years since I've taken a simple walk outside. I've been in bed for 2,191 days now thanks to this poison masquerading as an antibiotic. My hope of ever recovering is long gone at this point. I don't even bother lying to myself anymore. If you're done living, take Cipro. Death to Bayer & shame on the FDA. Google "Cipro is poison" if you'd like to learn more. M 36

 1  Urinary Tract Infection Both shoulder tendons ruptured. Each repaired surgically, then each ruptured again. Just last month, my hamstring completely detached -- an injury typically seen in bull riders and water skiers. I was leaning into my car to retrieve my wallet on the far seat. I have taken Cipro nine times over the past ten years. No one ever warned me about this. I'd blamed all these injuries on Lyme disease, which I contracted over 20 years ago. I always wondered why no other Lyme victims complained about tendon ruptures (I am a Lyme disease patient advocate and support-group facilitator). After four solid years on antibiotics (almost two years on IV antibiotic), I was basically cured from the Lyme, but over the years, I've suffered five ruptures now. DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DRUG. IT SHOULD BE BANNED. F

 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

 1  Prostatitis Dr. put me on 250mg twice a day. Must say it helped with the infection. The side effects are AWFUL. For me, I can handle pain, but I cannot handle insomnia. Restless nights from the beginning. Terrible . No rest and trying to heal is the worse. Developed Neurapthy in Right foot and terrible aches in my low back and hips. Crap drug. If you can not use this drug, please I beg you to ask for something else. I stopped 3 days ago thinking insomnia would leave. No.deal. Worse now with anxiety attached. Makes.it hard to manage your affairs and work. MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR OTHER OPTIONS BEFORE YOU SUBMIT TO THIS CRAP DRUG M 54 2 months
