| 1 | Prostatitis | Anxiety, dizzyness, palpitations, joint soreness, muscle soreness, tendon tightness. I took 3 pills. 36 hours after first dose I started getting muscle soreness in my arms, legs, and tightness and cracking in all my joints. 5 days later, things are getting worse. | Please don't take this drug unless it is a last resort. I'm a 31 year old male who is in excellent shape. Now I feel like I'm old man with arthritis. | M | 31 | 1.5 days 500 2X day | 4/3/2011 | 1 | sinus infection | Terrible non-stop hiccups, then excruciating joint pain in my knees. Stopped taking a day ago and still have occasional hiccups but knee pain is getting worse. | M | 65 | 3 times 500 2X day | 4/6/2011 | 1 | prostatitus | depression, anxiety, tingling, pain shooting up my arms, burning skin, confusion, dizziness, mood changes, rapid heartbeat, joint pain, muscle pain, numbness, | TOXIC! | M | 40 | 3 weeks 500 2X day | 3/28/2011 | 1 | Kidney infection | I am 100% crippled due to one week's worth of Cipro. No one EVER warned me Cipro could permanently disable me! Those poison pills have caused me unfathomable pain and injury, the likes of which you'll likely never know. My entire life, utterly destroyed. I PRAY FOR DEATH. | If you've been prescribed Cipro, STOP TAKING IT IMMEDIATELY!!! I don't care what your doctor says, STOP TAKING IT! It is NOT worth the devastating and life-ending risks that Bayer vastly understates on their warning labels! Bayer deserves to have their @$$e$ sued off for the death and destruction they've forced upon an unsuspecting public with this poison! Absolutely unconscionable! You will never know the level of suffering those pills have caused me and continue to cause me every minute of every single day of my now-tortured existence. ALL fluoroquinolone antibiotics are POISON, and hell has a special place reserved for the drug companies that manufacture and distribute them. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE FROM THIS GOD AWFUL POISON!!!!!!!!!!!!! | M | 28 | 7 days 500 2X day | 3/30/2011 | 1 | Suspected Prostatitis | Joint & muscle pain, shooting pains, muscle twitches. Pain seems to come and go and move around. Sometimes pain lasts for hours. | I was prescribed Cipro for suspected prostatis. My original rx was 500mg 2x/day for 14 days. By day 7 I was having pain in my hips, knees and ankles. After googling and finding out about this drug, I quit taking it. I figured over the next few days my pain would go away. It has been 7 days now and I don't feel any better. The weird thing is my pain comes and goes. Sometimes I get quick little pains (like little shocks) in my forearms, wrists. Mostly my hips, knees and ankles are sore, but one of my shoulders near the neck gets a cramp like someone walked up behind me and grabbed me hard. Sometimes my joints hurt for a few hours, then the pain goes. Just when I think it's gone for good, it hits me again. Also I notice I've had lots of muscle twitches (legs, back, arms, etc.) Prior to taking this drug I was going to the gym 4x a week and was pretty active. I still go, but my weights are way down and I can only do cardio for short periods of time due to the pain. Can anyone tell me if the pain will stop?? Has it stopped for you? How long did it take? Thanks. | M | 40 | 7 days 500 2X day | 4/7/2011 | 1 | post-surgery infection prevention | twitching, pain in feet, ankles, hips, forearms, knees, wrists, muscle twitching, depression, disorientation, paranoia, difficulty concentrating, mental confusion. | I discontinued use last night after taking the third pill. This medicine is horrible. My joints are popping and my tendons are throbbing and twitching. I had a nightmare for the first time in years. I've a general sensation of torpor and and anxiety. I'm hoping someone can lend some advice for what, if anything, I can do to begin the healing process. I'm very fit and feel arthritic overnight. | M | 33 | 1.5 days 500 2X day | 4/14/2011 | 1 | urinary tract infection | panic attacks muscle twitching severe anxiety went to emergency room sore throat for two months recently had another panic attack also stiff throat jaw muscles need muscle relaxers daily. | dont take this drug even one pill.it will mess your life up.i manage taking anti anxiety meds ativan klonopin etc........ | M | 38 | 4 days 2X day | 4/14/2011 | 1 | UT infection | Eye floaters, shoulder tendonitis, knee, feet tendonitis. Tendonitis all over the body, periphal neropathy on feet, insomina (lasted 3 months), dizziness | Today marks one year since I took 3 250 mg pills of Cipro. I used to run all the time, exercise and lift weights. I still can't run due to the tendonitis in my legs. Although things are a little bit better than they where I am only at 50% better. I will never ever take this drug again. It has been a year and it has been a living nightmare. I can't believe 3 pills can do this to you. I use to be 100% healthy until I took this drug. Please do not take this drug you will be on a long journey to recovery. | M | 31 | 3 days 250 1X day | 4/5/2011 | 1 | Prostate pain | I am 20 months out now and, among countless other Cipro-induced horrors, I still cannot walk. I doubt I'll ever be able to walk again, as my legs and feet are utterly destroyed. I'm only 30 and prior to this had never had ANY problems of this sort--I was incredibly active and healthy. Cipro has cut my life incredibly short. All the little things you take for granted? I can't do those things anymore. How I've made it this far without ending my own life is beyond me, but every SINGLE day I am severely tempted. The things this horrific poison can do to your body and your health are beyond your wildest imagination, and your absolute worst nightmares. Don't trust doctors to tell you the truth about this poison--they're in Bayer's back pocket and even docs cannot fathom what this crap is capable of doing to the human body. Warn everyone you know to stay AWAY from all quinolone antibiotics! We are being POISONED and the government doesn't give a f---!!! | POISON: RUN!!!!!!! | M | 30 | 7 days 500 2X day | 6/7/2011 | 1 | Skin infection | Severe pain in ankles, feet feel like they are freezing, sometimes get a burning/scratching sensation, cannot walk without it feeling like there is a heavy sock around my ankles | Has anyone found a way to treat this or am I permanently damaged? It has been 2 weeks since I have taken this drug | M | 36 | 1 days 500 MG 2X day | 6/17/2011 | 1 | not confirmed male UTI | A bit of fog in first few days, no biggie. BUT, a day 6 a tendonitis in left upper arm developed spontaneously. This is a quite painful scenario. | Make sure to fully understand what you're getting in to- read and understand the black box warning, be assured that no alternative exists before using this drug. My guess is that the frequency of this event is underestimated. | M | 62 | 8 days 500 2X day | 6/18/2011 | 1 | sinus infection | It has been seven months since I took Cipro for a sinus infection and I am continuing to experience ongoing side effects. This side effects include: achilles tendon pain, heel pain, tendon pain in forearm, weight loss and neuropathy in arms and legs. Even though my symptoms have improved, one has to wonder if they will ever be resolved completely. Like many others I have good days and bad days. I have given up many activities that I used to enjoy, especially running. This is by far, the worst experience of my life, and I only hope that these drugs be taken off the market for the benefit of others who might fall prey to this poison. | M | 41 | 1.5 days 250 2X day | 7/13/2011 | 1 | UTI | Diarrhea, SERIOUS gas, nausea | Was given this in the ER as part of a stone protocol. Antibiotics rarely do not really screw up the digestive tract. This crap is no exception. But what's worse is the fact that it is known to weaken the Achilles tendon and tendons of the feet substantially for up to a year from one dose. My PC Dr flipped when I told him what I was taking. He is treating a patient for tears in both tendons now. I personally know another that is suffering the same thing. Best advise he gave me is to not go hiking, skiing etc for the next year.... yipppe. NASTY STUFF! | M | 50 | 10 days 500 2X day | 6/2/2011 | 1 | For inflamed Prostate | Burning skin (not sunburn) in buttocks, waist and inner thighs. Left ankle pain. | Quit taking once these symptoms started. It's been 5 days and no relief from symptoms. Will check back soon. | M | 34 | 9 days 2X day | 6/8/2011 | 1 | UTI | Nine months ago, prescribed cipro for an un-confirmed UTI. Within 5 days, I was having severe joint infalmmation, popping joints, anxiety attacks, neuropathic pains throughout my body. It is a living hell. My symptoms slowly got better over the first 6 months. But recently I have felt like I did months ago. Do not take! POISON | M | 34 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 6/16/2011 | 1 | Baecause of left ear infection | Have produced permanent damage to both of my ears in the form of extremely irritating sound of Tinnitus. | Never ever try CIPRO. Its POISON | M | 25 | 4 days 250 Mg 2X day | 6/21/2011 | 1 | unconfirmed UTI | Please report adverse reactions @ www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/default.htm Reporting these reactions may be the only way to make the FDA aware of how dangerous this drug is. | M | 34 | 1 weeks 500mg 2X day | 6/22/2011 | 1 | Misprescribed for pelvic sports inj | Endless: arrythmia, insomnia, night terrors, central and peripheral nervous system damage - myoclonic jerks, brain zaps, fasciculations, altered breathing, digestion breakdown (and multiple food allergies), tooth/gum damage, ulcers, appaling head sensation/pressure, shocks into eyes/teeth/across body, full body electrical meltdown experience, dehydration, joint pain, clicking/popping in nasal/forehead area, a week of being unable to move, burning pain in spine, extreme anxiety and much more | I was a crossfit athlete, I am now almost 4 months on hopefully moving toward some kind of recovery - aware that cycles exist so perhaps not, but optimistic. I've been crippled, from elite fitness to crippled. I lost 15kg in muslce mass after taking this poison. I'm posting my narrative from Oct 2010 onwards here: http://noquinolones.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=stories&action=display&thread=2455 | M | 39 | 8 days 500mg 2X day | 3/14/2011 | 1 | SIBO | Every few days for the past 6 months since I took Cipro I have developed a new tendinitis (tendinopathy), new joint line pain (arthralgia), inability to articulate a joint, eye problem, or something else. At 6 months out, I have 51 tendinopathies, 6 arthralgias, 2 myositises, eye problems, low testosterone, and more! I no longer have night time or morning erections, have gone days without erection. I haven't been able to work for more than 6 months. To be crippled for years is a common side effect of Cipro. | To be crippled for years with tendon, cartilage, joint, ligament, nerve, eye, or endocrine damage is a common and typical side effect of Cipro. There are support groups all over the internet with hundreds other crippled users and their stories such as: http://www.facebook.com/FluoroquinoloneToxicity#!/pages/The-Wall-Of-Pain-Bayer-Johnson-Johnson/185153868191364 DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DRUG FOR ANY REASON! | M | 33 | 9 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/4/2011 | 1 | UTI | My husband was in remission from CLL (leukemia) when he took Cipro for a UTI and afterward went rapidly downhill. It didn't cure the UTI, so he took it again. White blood count soared and he died 3 miserable months later. | I can't prove Cipro contributed to my husband's death but it sure seemed that way. Some research I've seen says antibiotics, ironically, can cause problems with the immune system. | M | 68 | 10 days ? 1X day | 3/17/2011 |
