 1  UTI The 1st night a big circle of my scalp felt like it was frozen, all funny. The next day my shoulders started popping like crazy. I wanted to stop the pills but had been warned that the type of infection/bacteria I had, acinetobacter baumannii, needed to be killed or face kidney disease. I had begged my doctor to give me something else due to the fact I had 5 reasons to NOT take it, on prednisone, over 60, already had tendon and liver problems, and led an active lifestyle. I have not been able to work, I can barely walk, can't drive, too dizzy. No income because my doctor was too lazy to look up the "black box warning" like I asked him to and his attitude>that he knew what was best for me. I could wring his neck, cheerfully. I'm going to a naturopath next week, am starting on many supplements, magnesium, milk thistle, probiotics, raw organic honey and pure apple cider, and epsom salt baths. Fighting off the depression is another story, how do you get out of the dumps when y DIRTY ROTTEN POISON PILLS... BURN IN HELL AND ALL THAT MAKE OR PRESCRIBE THEM!!!! F 61 7 days

 1  severe sinus infection started having pain in calves and ankles, fatigue and ears ringing. Stopped doses right away and trashed the rest. I had already pre-read ALL the side effect papers so I knew right away. I knew this stuff was used for anthrax and had friends get screwed up by it. I know my allergies to other antibiotics too, and am always weary of any antibiotic, except Keflex. ALWAY, ALWAYS read the side effects pages and research any drug you take. People think I am being paranoid or whatever, I know better. I may have had some long term damage, who knows...I am a vet and the govt. gave us who knows what, my family has arthritis and lupus tendencies anyway.I knew enough to stop after the first two doses. READ ALL ABOUT THE DRUG YOU ARE BEING GIVEN!!! YOU are your own best caretaker. M 46 7 days

Couldn't tell if I was getting better or worse. Cipro is what they use to treat Anthrax ..They shouldn't use it to treat a simple UTI. The stuff is horrid. F 37 5 days

 5  UTI Zero (none, zilch) It solved my UTI problem after several days. After taking only one or two pills, I looked at this site and nearly freaked out. But some of the very few giving a "5" rating pointed out that millions take this drug every year with no problem. Apparently, if a small minority has terrible side effects, that minority are much more likely to report their experiences. Conclusion: If this drug starts causing you problems, quit taking it immediately!!! M 59 10 days

 1  Urinary tract Infection permanent neuropathy in the nerves of my skin. Numbness, tingling, cold burning pain. Tinnitus and extreme sensitivity to sound (hyperacusis). Completely messed up my life. i took the drug eight years ago and these problems continue with the tinnitus and hyperacusis getting worse. Stay away from all fluoroquinolone antibiotics - Cipro, Levaquin and Avelox. They are extremely strong and have left many, many people disabled. F 48 10 days

The pain is a combination of nerve pain (feeling very cold, alternating between tingling and numbness, extreme burning pain), muscle pain and cramps and tendon pain. this is not just pain. this is life changing life destroying pain for six years that hasn't stopped for a single second. my eyelid twitches constantly, I have pain all over my body, dry eyes, popping joints, nothing is normal anymore. I am dying. please email me if you have had the same symptoms with ciprodex. M 33 7 days

 1  uti infection While taking cipro, I experienced bad heart palpitations. Also noticed a lot of tingling in my hands and feet. Felt a sense of fear from the panic attacks due to worrying about the side effects of this drug. Now, my feet have terrible episodes of burning, shooting pain and my heart still experiences palpitations. Shouldn't have NEVER taken this drug and I NEVER will again. I don't recommend this drug for anybody. F 45 2 days
