| 1 | c diff | After 3 500 mg pills, complete fog, exhaustion, strange dreams. Very Itchy skin. Stopped taking. Next day, the SEVERE joint pain began. First in shoulders and thumb. Unable to lift arms due to pain. Unable to drive. Pain Migrated to knees, neck, ankles, hands, lower back. Unable to open jaw very wide...then trouble closing.Pain Moving approx. every 24 hours. Unable to make a fist. Right wrist EXTREMELY swollen and very hot. Pain walking, actually causing limping. | It is two weeks today since I took the 3 pills. The doctor was COMPLETEly dismissive of blaming the cipro, until he WITnessed the size of my wrist...he acted like I had been making it up before that. Now I've got his attention. Two courses of pred with no effect. Hives break out in the pm. Benadry and claritin have helped. Still experiencing migrating pain in joints, but have not had a SEVERE attack like early on in shoulders and hand. Counting this as improving. Perfect health before this, athletic. Praying for all that are suffering from this drug. There is no treatment or cure, just time and luck...every case is different. Take it only if your life depends on it. Even if you are okay with the original exposure, you may be injured in the future with the next exposure. | F | 21 | 2 days | 4/17/2009 | 3 | Prostatitis | Fatigue, lots of urinating, diarrhea, anal itching, aches and pains, depression and lethargy | It has side effects but no worse than many meds | M | 51 | 25 days | 4/15/2009 | 1 | UTI Infection | Extreme bloating, nausea and insomnia | I took this for a UTI and quit after 2 days. This medicine is horrible. Now I have had extreme bloating, nausea and insomnia for 3 5 days and I only took this poison for 2 days. It should be banned and Bayer should be sued. Do Not TAKE I wonder if I will ever get better. I have always just been prescribed a sulfa medicine before for my UTI. Symptoms would go away immediately. Why are they prescribing this horrible medicine. Do the doctors get a kick back. | F | 54 | 2 days | 4/11/2009 | 5 | kidney infection in child | If you really need this medicine, it does work, and everyone doesn't have the terrible reaction that a lot of the other postings have had. My daughter did have diarrhea after day 4, but with probiotics daily it was managable. Otherwise, it worked well. | My daughter had to take Cipro as a last attempt to get rid of her kidney infection before hospitalizing her. She was so sick, she could have died from the infection, pseudomonas. Cipro saved her life, and saved her from the hospital experience which at best would have been upsetting and at worst could have been... well...we all know about hospitals... | F | 8 | 10 days | 4/8/2009 | 3 | prostatitis | | 4/8/2009 | 1 | Urinary tract infection | Discontinued taking after only 3 days because of severe muscle/tendon pain in thumb, shoulders, arms, and hips. It has been 1 month - still having the pain, although not as severe on most days. The pain has also moved in to my jaw (TMJ area). I was a very active, pain free person prior to taking this medication. I feel like I've aged 50 years overnight. | This medication is TOXIC!!! It should be taken off the market! | F | 48 | 3 days | 4/5/2009 | 1 | Dr. said | YELLOW skin. Seizures. Thoughts of suicide. Rapid heart beat. Severe muscle and joint pain. Severe nausea. Rash on my face. | Cipro has a blackbox warning. DO NOT TAKE IT. IF YOU GET THE BAD SIDE EFFECTS THEY ARE IRREVERSIBLE. | F | | 4/4/2009 | 2 | cellulitis | Severe ankle pain and difficulty walking; fatigue; ringing in ears and hearing loss. | F | 47 | 5 days | 4/3/2009 | 1 | E-Coli infection | very sore shoulders and ankles for up to six months. Hallucinations, sensitivity to light, spaciness, complete forgetfulness (would forget where I was, who I was, where i was going, drive miles and miles when I was supposed to be going to work, forget where I worked), EXTREME nightmares. ALL of this lasted six months. It has been four years since I took this drug and sometimes when I have a glass of orange juice all the symptoms come rushing back, it's weird. Complete intolerance to alcohol and caffeine that have lasted for years. Intolerance to Chlor-Trimeton? and many other medications that influence GABA for any reason. Anxiety, Panic Attacks, the list goes on and on. Wasn't there something else they could have given me? I almost think it would have been better to go with a sulfur based drug that was not quite as effective than give up six months of my life and live with these side effects years and years later! I used to laugh at people with anxiety thinking it was all in their hea | After I took this, I completely lost my mind. I was a healthy, 20-something professional whose life was destroyed after taking this drug. I went from having virtually no allergies or sensitivities to being light sensitive, many allergies (some previous such as animals), cannot tolerate alcohol anymore (I believe this drug cross the Blood brain barrier and can have an effect on GABA), well, I guess it's easier to list the things this drug did not screw up, such as my liver and possibly my heart, although I have started having panic attacks as the latest in a long line of years of symptoms all present after this drug. | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 3/31/2009 | 1 | Prostate | Shoulder joint damage,stiff neck,breathing hard, tirdness, Shoulder pain, Kidney pain,pain in legs, Lower back and abdominal pain. | Do not take it. | M | 57 | 30 days | 3/30/2009 | 1 | for a swollen gland | I took 500mg 2x a day for 7 days and quit. It was the most horrible thing I have ever done, if being poisoned feels like taking Ciprofloxacin it should be Banned from the Market. | F | 79 | 5 days | 3/29/2009 | 5 | diverticulitis | none that i know of. but then I'm not sitting around looking for any. seem a little spacy but then again no big deal. may b e the flagyl from what i've read but i think i'm going to chg my dosage from 3 x a day to 2 x a day (7 a.m. and 2 p.m.) so I can have a drink or two at night before bed. lol | It works! I may even stop my dosage 2 days early to keep some around next time this happens on the weekend so I can save the urgent care or emerg care deductible! woohoo! | M | 48 | 5 days | 3/24/2009 | 1 | UTI | Ear ringing, red face, numb face, numb arm, joint pain, insomnia, feeling of death. | First use was Jan 2008 for UTI, then Feb 2008 for UTI, and then March 2008 for Prostate Biopsy. Doctor did not correlate symptoms to drug use, but prescribed Lorazepam for anxiety. Re-prescribed in Aug 2008, turned beet red and sweating, and stopped use and finally found this site. 1 year later, I still have red face, ringing in ears, and now have a recent hernitated disk. | M | 51 | 30 days | 3/24/2009 | 2 | Possible Diverticulitis | Stiff neck, leg muscle aches, low back ache, extreme fatigue. General feeling of unwell. | My doctor had prescribed this almost 1 year ago. I took it for the entire 10 days, and had no problems back then. He told me if my diverticulitis flared up again, to start taking the other refill right away, which I did. It was a much different story this time. I started feeling toxic about the 4th day into it, and stopped it the next day on my own. The least little bit of activity was overwhelming for me, and I'm normally quite healthy. It seems as though it helped my infection, but if the infection comes back, I certainly will not be taking this drug again. | F | 45 | 5 days | 3/23/2009 | 1 | Prostatitis | Severe pains in hands and feet. Joints/tendons damaged - Thumbs almost useless. Never had problems until took these drugs. Weeks after stopping taking the cipro the pains are not subsiding | Do not take this drug!! Wish I had never had it. It took just 11 days to ruin my joints/tendons. How can something this toxic and damaging be approved for use? | M | 43 | 11 days | 3/23/2009 | 1 | UTI | nausea, loss of appetite, loss of taste, headache,rash, leg pains, numbness in feet, hands,face, tongue, arms, diarrhea, sleeplessness, anxiety, panic attacks,extreme nerve pain | When these symptoms hit me on Jan. 23rd after 2 days of taking this medicine someone recommended me this site. I'm amazed almost 2 months later how many MORE negative comments there are, and how SIMILAR they are to what I'm STILL going through. I was also on Prednisone. Cipro activates your immune system. Be VERY careful with this drug. It will be a slow painful recovery. I don't know why you would even want to try it. It's miserable. | F | 28 | 2 days | 3/22/2009 | 3 | UTI | Dry mouth; some light-headedness and dizziness; pressure in the head and mild headache off and on; much fatigue | I was miserable at times on Cipro but it did clear up the infection. | F | 41 | 10 days | 3/21/2009 | 1 | UTI | Terrible drug - Wish I had never took it now - Capable of "delayed reactions" Can cripple you months/years down the line . Tinnitus , Hyperacusis,Insomnea ,nightmares, nausea ,CNS problems big time, the list goes on and on | Poison , vile drug , go to Fluoroquinolones.Org . if you want a good scare . . | F | 52 | 10 days | 3/21/2009 | 1 | after surgery | gloom and imminent doom | Other people I have talked to have had the same problem. Why is this fact so hidden? I have never experienced such a problem in my life. | M | 65 | | 3/19/2009 | 3 | bronchitis | pains in my legs and joints, and back pain. | It helped slightly clear up my bronchitis , my body feels like that of a 70 yr old. I am very active person and yet i feel like i cant get out of bed and i dont even want to. No energy | F | 29 | 7 days | 3/16/2009 |
