| 1 | Prostatitis | Hip aches, calf and foot pain, muscle twitching | Never really added it up, but after the foot pain increased recently, I started searching for side effects of Cipro and found thousands of negative comments. Fortunately, I don't have as severe of symptoms as some here, but enough to be concerned. My feet ache very bad since taking Cipro, but isn't debilitating. Any suggestions on what to take to flush and renew? Probiotics and Omega 3 seem to be popular. Hang in there, pray, believe and exercise. | M | 39 | 7 days 250mg 1X day | 6/30/2010 | 1 | Gut Infection | Doctor gave this out like candy for a stomach infection - I had tendon pain within 24 hours, stopped at 6 doses. It killed the stomach problem - but did horrible damage to my 29 year old otherwise healthy body. Could barely walk do to body-wide tendon pain and joint popping. Then got diarreah. Worried that I was going to be disabled! Now taking Magnesium Chelate, B6, C, CoQ10, Omega3, probiotics, eating bone stock trying to recover my body and flush the fluoride out of my system. The summer and possibly this year is lost - can't exercise without joint pain. Recently got muscle spams and worried about nerve damage. | Should not be on the market, but they make billions a year to poison healthy people! Should only be used in last resort, but greed makes them lie to doctors and give it out like candy. | M | 29 | 3 days 250mg 2X day | 6/22/2010 | 1 | uti | Feelings of death and panic attacks. | It is now 6 months since my last 50mg tablet and life is better but I am still depressed and dont know if i am ever going to get better. According to wikipedia cipro is a " chemotherapeutic " agent and is "but only a handful have found their way into clinical practice.[11]The fluoroquinolone drugs are the most toxic and dangerous antibiotics in clinical practice today.[citation " If you take this drug then it is like being on chemotherapy except for the fact that you are all alone and by the time you realise it is the cipro that is ruining your life then it is too late and the damage is done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | M | 35 | 8 days 50 1X day | 6/22/2010 | 1 | Slight tonsil infection | NEVER had any problems with antibiotics. This drug almost killed me! After the first dose I felt tingling in my fingertips but didn't connect the dots. I took another dose before going to sleep and woke to a different world: my fingers hurt, my fingertips had small razor-like scratches, the skin was completely dry and my joints hurt. I stopped taking the drug, called the doctor but he brushed me off and advised to finish the package. Luckily, I didn't listen to him. On the second day, in the evening, my toes started to hurt and I hardly could walk. I called another doctor and she advised to go to the hospital. Late at night I waited for 4h but didn't see any doctor. I went to another GP the next day, insisted on a full blood test, and spoke to a doctor who had heard of Cipro before. She sent me to a neurology specialist who said that my nerves might have taken a hit and that there wouldn't be a treatment. I'm no 5 days down the line since stopping Cipro after only two tablets... and | Should be banned! Forever! | M | 47 | 1 days 500 mg 2X day | 2/15/2018 | 1 | If I could rate this poison a ZERO, I would. | Imagine a drug that doesn't kill you, but instead cripples every tendon and joint in your entire body and then LEAVES you like that--permanently. That's Cipro. It'll make you WISH you were dead from it. Beware: The BLACK BOX WARNING on this poison grossly understates the likelihood, severity and duration of its horrific side effects. Take it from me--it's NOT WORTH IT. I am crippled for life as a result of this poison and there are thousands of others out there just like me. Ask your doctor for something safer (which is just about ANYTHING!) unless, of course, you LIKE being in a wheelchair. | M | 45 | 7 days 500 2X day | 5/21/2010 | 1 | UTI | 6th day after starting taking the drug I felt a small annoyance in my right elbow. I didn't connect it to the Cirpo, so I finish the treatment at 7th day. After few days the annoyance was growing until I felt real pain in my right arm. Other joints followed the elbow, as well as muscle pain. Sometimes the muscle and joint pain are so intense you are left disabled in bed. After two weeks discontinuing the drug, small signs of healing are showing up, but I still have to endure the pain. | Taking Cipro for regular mild infections is not worth the risk. Side effects are serious and can last for much time even after you stop the tratment. Avoid it as much as you can. | M | 25 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 5/24/2010 | 1 | Prostatitis | Severe, disabling tendinitis in legs and shoulders. Tinnitis (ear ringing), vertigo, insomnia. | I was very healthy and active before taking this drug. I commuted to work via bicycle. 2 months later, I now have an electric wheelchair. Do not take this drug! Researching on the net I now see hundreds of people have become disabled by it... the effects can be permanent or last for years! | M | 42 | 7 days 250 mg 2X day | 5/25/2010 | 1 | diarrhea and vomiting | Immediately my diarrhea and vomiting went away, but myself and my stomach weren't feeling any better. All the way until about 10 days after I was on the drug did my stomach finally start to feel better. The big thing was this long term effect that I've had since I was on the drug... Insomnia. I've never had sleeping problems before I took Cipro for this length. I had used Cipro before, but only 1-2 pills. I could not sleep and was always tired during the day. I went to GNC and became tolerant to all their sleep aids within a month or so. Went to a sleep specialist and became tolerant to all the drugs he gave me rather quickly. I was even drinking myself to sleep, awful. Apparently, the best place in the country for this type of disorder is Hopkins and I have been with them once a week for two months. Although I have improved from 3 months ago, I want to get to sleep! Here it is almost a year later and over $1,000 later, I still have terrible insomnia. | M | 25 | 10 days 500mg 3X day | 10/27/2010 | 1 | Antibiotic-induced colitis | Immediately after taking first and only pill small red bumps appeared on chest, over next month both arms were covered with clusters of spontaneous bruises; next year found platelet count was dropping and they were over-sized. Intravenous immunoglobulin had no effect, even temporarily; spleen found normal on ultra-sound. Last tested in mid-2009, platelet count was 11k. Recently suffered severe petechiae on both legs, and continue to have swollen rashes behind both calves, and pain where muscles attach to Achilles tendon; red skin is irritated, feeling like a bad sunburn. | Cipro attacks the gyrase protein to interfere with replication of bacterial DNA. Mediation of adverse effects has been found through increasing the ratio of ADP (stored in platelets) to ATP, by up-regulating cyclic AMP: this is done through the ligand of Gs-coupled GPCR - with the 5-HT receptor, the natural ligand is serotonin, an important component of platelets. This could explain why platelet counts have been reported to increase with consumption of papaya and a gluten-free diet, both of which increase the serotonin level, which can also be supplemented with L-tryptophan and 5-HTP. Started on this unpleasant and restrictive diet recently, and have observed some improvement with the lower legs, though I was apparently close to being crippled by the steady, relentless attack of this extremely unsafe drug, beyond its having induced the life-threatening macrothrombocytopenia (typically an hereditary condition that has never been diagnosed in my family). | M | 50 | 1 days 500MG 2X day | 10/30/2010 | 1 | chronic prostatitis/epididymitus | I had ringing in my ears instantly from taking this. After about 10 days my tendon in my left foot made me hobble around for a further 3. I had wierd feelings in my face also. The thing is, I've stopped taking this atrocity yet still have tinnitus after 14 days cypro-free... I have no idea how long this could last for, if it will cease or remain? The body is the best healer. Don't blindly accept consultants/doctors/surgeons ideas like I did. Do the research, get the perscription in a 'just incase' mind set and always seek alternative therapy. My condition lessened from items considered folk remedies or illegitimate according to Western medicine. Remember its all a business to them. In this case the antibiotics did absolutely nothing to help me. | Just don't. | M | 22 | 14 days 750mg 3X day | 10/21/2010 | 1 | possible diverticulitis | Horrible joint pain, especially in both knees and both ankles. Right foot is now totally numb due to a dead ligament killed by cipro. Now I have horrible pains in both of my shoulders and elbows. Completely bedridden now. | The doctors are absolutely horrible. Totally dishonest. They tell me it's in my head. The doctor that originally prescribed me this garbage totally denies its a side effect. I keep asking them if it is so safe why don't they take this crap. I thought doctors were upright now I know most are totally morally corrupt. I've tried almost ever supplement known, Ginkgo, Bilberry, NAC, Vitamin C, undenatured collagen - nothing works. Now trying Chlorella but it prob. won't work either. Any ideas? It's been 14 months since I got floxed and its still getting worse. | M | 54 | 7 days 500 2X day | 10/22/2010 | 1 | UTI | Back and neck pain, headache, insomnia, depressed mood | I skipped the last day as I have never had such neck and back pains before and could only attribute them to the Cipro. Subsequent research shows it to be a common effect. The Cipro did knock out the UTI but I would resort to a less toxic alternative if there should be a recurrence. | M | 58 | 9 days 500mg 2X day | 10/9/2010 | 1 | uti | too many to mention, nausea made me lose forty pounds in four weeks! anxiety attacks make you feel like the world is ending, severe insomnia for two weeks (lost normal ability to sleep since then, 8 months ago) chronic fatigue ( you will feel like a truck ran over you) you will never be able to eat normal food again (antibitotics in meat and poultry) THE LIST JUST GOES ON AND ON, nightmares when you do sleep, DOCTORS wonīt beleive you and they may add to the injury by prescribing other drugs for the side effects which will worsen your condition possibly leaving you in a wheelchair for life, | This drug is genocide, the people who say they donīt have side effects is because the side effects come weeks or even months after you finish the drug, you will never be the same again, you risk losing your job, family, mind, everything, do you want to take that risk? look for an alternative, one pill is all it takes and you will never be the same again! this is not a drug, it is hell in a pill! | M | 48 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 11/3/2010 | 1 | Prostatitas | Everything similar to all the people who have been chemicaly poisoned. | ATTENTION: You want help-stay away from your doctor. Cipro or fluoroquinans inhibits the production of the good protiens (Collegen) in your body. This is man made chemical poisoning. Okay now what you should do. 1. Stop your F%cking medication-don't flush it cuz your putting that junk in your water, personally I'd send the crap back to Bayer and let them eat. 2.Do not take-Steroids, Ibuprofen-this is bad!!, Aspirin 3.Eat protien-Eat bone broth-go to butcher get beef soap bones-big ones with the marrow-crock pot those bad boys for a day on low. Pour off liquid let cool and skim off the layer of fat. Drink the broth-you are giving your body the amino acids to repair the collegen-tendons joints etc. 4. Keep moving-if you are stuck in a chair fall off it and roll, then crawl, then walk-go slow-you want to keep you body moving so it will stamp out new protiens for your joints. Eventually the ratio of defective "cipro innfected stamps' will decrease overtime. How much time-thats a case by case situation. 5.Get in a pool-Float the low resistance on those joints will help rebuild them. You will feel better mentally with some excercise. 6 Don't give up hope. no one will beleive you hurt as much as you do. They will tell its just age. Scew em. This is results of research and personal experience. In my opinion the majority of doctors don't know or care. The drug companies are profiting on the populas desire for pills. We don't need all these pills. | M | 47 | 1 days 500 1X day | 11/28/2010 | 1 | Epididymitis | First two days, no side effects. Third day extreme anxiety and little heat zaps to the side of the head. 2nd Pill on the third day Extreme panic attacks, anxiety, muscle and back pain. I had to take xanax to calm me down and I thought I was going to have to go the ER. | If you suffer from General anxiety disorder don't take this medicine. I am usually calm cause I have it under control but this medicine brought it out to the most extreme. The panic attacks where horrible | M | 42 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 9/11/2010 | 1 | Infection | Permanently disabled me! | One week on this poison and my entire life ended. Can't walk, can't work, I now live in bed. HORRIFIC that the FDA would allow this nasty substance to be marketed and given out as a medicine! Absolutely horrific. If you have had an adverse reaction to this poison you MUST file a report with the FDA or else Bayer will only continue to cripple people for profit. THIS HAS TO STOP! | M | 39 | 7 days 500 2X day | 9/10/2010 Patient History | 1 | Urinary Tract Infection | This drug was very bad news for me, and I had many of the issues described by others here. I am a 40 year old male, very healthy and strong overall. An arthritic condition began to set in after just 4 days on the Cipro (prescribed for a garden variety urinary tract infection), and within 2 more weeks, the pain was so debilitating that my family forced me to go to the ER. My entire body hurt, particularly my hips, shoulders, lower back, hands and feet. My knees and elbows for some reason were virtually unaffected. I couldn't even put on shoes, let alone tie them, I had to crawl up the stairs, and I had to shower after using the toilet because I couldn't wipe myself. The pain was so intense that I needed help getting in and out of bed, rolling over, etc. during the night. I sincerely thought I could be dying. After seeing that a couple of the numbers from my blood tests were very abnormal, the ER doctors grew concerned and gave me IV pain medication and anti-inflammants (the abnormal | I would not take this drug ever again unless my life depended on it, and would not let anyone else I knew take it, either, without at least warnimng them. It may be fine for some, but it clearly causes severe problems for many, and even in my instance, where I've gotten at least most of the way back to normal again, there are still lingering effects, and I first took Cipro over 2 months ago, and was only on it for 4 days before I stopped taking it. | M | 40 | 4 days 500 MG 2X day | 9/20/2010 | 1 | urinary infection | extreme rise in anxiety, dizzyness, had to come from work, blod pressure raised way up. Short of breath. pain in my joints, can't sleep. DO NOT TAKE THIS EVER! I'm waiting to feel good enough to work again. I'm totally fatigued. | Every pharmasisit told me it was bad news | M | 53 | 3 days 250 2X day | 9/21/2010 | 1 | Minor UTI | Permanent damage to my vision (nowhere on the warning label!), soft tissue and joint destruction making it nearly impossible to walk, skin issues, tinnitus, pain in my teeth!!! | This is not a drug, this is murder in a pill. DON'T DO IT! | M | 45 | 7 days 500 2X day | 9/26/2010 | 1 | Suspected Prostate Infection | M | 48 | 500mg 1X day | 9/25/2010 Patient History |
