 1  UTI/Prostititis I had been subscribed Cipro several times 8 years ago for UTI/Prostititis issues. I had some side effects back then but never associated them with the drug. In June of this year, I was once again perscribed Cipro for Prostititis. On the second day, I experienced significant and severe abdominal cramps and spine pain. I stopped taking it. My doctor then put me on doxycycline and an NSAID (Nuproxen) I found out that was the worst thing anyone can do, from additional research it maximizes the side effects of Ciprofloxacin. Three months after taking the last pill, I have had it all: Joint Paint, Tendon Pain, Cartilage and Tendon Popping, Insomnia, Myalgia type pains and sensations, Eye Pain, Headaches, Muscle Weakness and Stiffness, Numbness & Tingling, Tremors & Twitching, Cold Hands & Feet, Burning Sensations and the list goes on & on.... If anyone has had success in detoxifying from this poison, please post what has worked for you. I pray that I can pull through this. Please, Please, Please......ONLY TAKE THIS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.... THE RISKS ARE TOO GREAT !! M 50 2 days

 1  suspected kidney infection PANIC ATTACKS...ANXIETY..ATTACKS OF DOOM AND FEAR..I WAS IN HELL I took cipro over 9 months ago and thanks be to god, things are slowly getting better now. I am still not the same person and am not sure if I ever will be again and to be honest, nobody understands what this drug does unless they become a victim as well. My only advice is to eat as well as you can, rest as much as you can, take daily magnesium supplements, folic acid( this one is a MUST as it helps to rebuild the damaged cells), and also vitamins. My GP tried me on various antidepressants and they made things FAR WORSE. Valium did help, but you gotta be careful not to get hooked. All in all, things get better VERY VERY slowly, so hang in there and just try and be positive, though I know from experience that it is easier said than done. If anybody wants a friendly chat then email me on [email protected] Do not use the links as they dont work! God bless you all M 37 7 days

 1  Reaccuring Prostatitis Infection Extreme unbearable headaches, abdominal organ inflammation, joint pain and skin rashes. This is definitely poison people, please stay away from this drug. I was first prescribed Cipro in March of 2010 for 10 days which did not clear up my prostatitis infection, then I was prescribed Levaquin for 14 days. No extreme side effects until I was prescribed Cipro again in April and May of 2010. I immediately got very sick after taking Cipro for two days, extreme headaches and very bad abdominal pain. As of this date I am still dealing with the side effects of this poison. M 46 14 days

 1  Post Vasectomy Epididymitis Anxiety, Muscle spasms, chills, depression, leg pains I have been off of cipro for 2 days and feel like I am coming off of heroine. I hope the symptoms pass. The last week of my cipro usage was complete hell. I couldn't focus, my wife told me I was a completely different person and she was right. I was completely caught up in me, my nerves, and the side effects of the drug. The doctor gave me the course of cipro without a blood test and my urine was clean. There was no infection. I was an idiot for not doing my homework and not trusting myself over the doctors. M 36 15 days

 1  Suspected kidney stones / infection Horrendous side effects suffered for 10 days till I stumbled upon this site. I suffered stiff knees from the 2nd day, I have been walking around like a man 3 times my age since. I then suffered pains in my neck, back, wrist, foot and suffered a badly swollen right shin and calf. I am still suffering lack of appetite and sleep and really bad night sweats. Literally needing at least 1 change of bedclothes per night. I can only put these symptoms down to this medication as they are slowly starting to ease a week and a half after stopping taking this poison. I am a fairly fit 31 year old, often running or circuit training. I was prescribed a 7 day course of this med by a Locum doctor as my doctor was on holiday. He then re-prescribed it on his return for a further 7 days. It was at day 10 I stopped. I have never known pain or discomfort like I suffered while on this muck. These tablets are POISON. We must spread the word to anybody we know not to take this medicine and explore other options. M 31 10 days

 1  Bladder infection Knee and elbow tenons swelled and I no longer have mobility or independence. Severe pain in those joints as well. How did this medicine, pass FDA testing? I will never use another Bayer product again. I also have to believe my doctor has a stronger alliance to drug company's than assisting his patients health. M 83 3 days

 1  epididymitis loss of breath, lack of sleep, sweats, trouble swallowing at one point, aching joints, aching tendons, anxiety, nausea. i went to an urgent care to get a diagnosis of my pains and it was an infection in my testicular area. the doctor gave me cipro just like that. the first day i took the antibiotic, i felt completely fine. until the days went by and i started feeling all the weird side effects. i have to take this for 14 days and it's only been 6 so far and it feels like hell. i've been freaking out about these side effects. it seems like i have symptoms of cancer, but i don't know yet, so i need to get a check up on what is going on with me, cause i didn't feel like this until i started taking this antibiotic. if anyone has felt this before just let me know via email, it would be greatly appreciated.

 1  Kidney Infection? Panic / anxiety attacks, high heart rate, suicidal thoughts, general body/muscle/joint pain, nausea, vomiting, I am 30 years old,and I took Cipro on 4/20/2010 and I thought that I was going to die. It is now June 2010 and I am battling extreme morning nausea and dizzyness, every morning since taking this drug. It has gotten so bad that I am afriad to go to sleep at night, just because I know what will await in the morning. From what I read, this drug messes with the brain and enzymes, screwing up cognitive judgement and sensory reactors in the mind, and I can believe it! This drug is posion and should never be taken. I feel like I am 60 yrs. old as I walk thru the house and knees / ankles popping and cracking. It has been alittle over 2 months and hopefully I will be able to rid these symptons sometime M 30 7 days
