| 1 | Prostratitis - | MASSIVE sharp and throbbing joint ache and pain and possibly muscle ache. Muscle twitching and poor sleep. Neuralgia from the hips down completely covering the entire skin area (have only experienced isolated small spots of Neuralgia in the past- this is the worse leaving the skin Extremely sensitive to touch..even from pants/clothes. The ONLY relief that I have found is a 30-40 minute hot bath. I have gotten more sleep and relief from and after the bath than anything. Have had headaches, ringing in ears, light dizziness with nausea and consipation. Can barely walk by the end of the evening. Extremely tired feeling | I'm pretty sure that I've experienced these exact symtoms before on cipro, however, always attributed them to whatever I was being treated for....now, in retrospect, I am positive that was I was experiencing were side effects of this drug. I am pretty sure that these symptoms mentioned here by me are very SLOW in subsiding. My advise would be to first determine if the protratitis is a result of yeast related bacteria. If not, I would advise finding an alternative method of treating it being that it will have no effect on the situation. If so, another antibiotic would be better than this one. | M | 37 | 6 days | 4/8/2005 | 1 | prostate infection | death | My good friend of 50 years was prescribed cipro for a prostate infection. Within 24 hours of taking the drug he started feeling woozie, and fell asleep watching TV. Wife couldn't wake him. Medics say it was a heart attack. Coincidence? I don't think so. | M | 78 | 1 days | 2/2/2005 | 1 | sinus infection | Wanted to knock out sinus infection once and for all. Ok for first couple days, stomach a bit upset but nothing major. Third or fourth day the pretty constant light-headed tingling feeling in my head, along with headaches started occuring. Headache was all over the head, including upper neck pain. Also felt minor joint achiness and a couple very minor incidents where I felt nausea. | Only thing that seemed to relieve the symptoms was drinking a TON of water and eating a lot. I was supposed to take two pills a day for 10 days, but I didn't take my last two pills. That was two days ago. This morning, I felt better, but as the day has progressed, the headache has started to come back, though not as severe. I followed all the instructions on the label perfectly, and I feel pretty messed up by this drug. | M | 33 | 9 days | 2/5/2005 | 1 | rash-possibly caused by a bacteria | 10 minutes after taking the first pill my hands began itching and I felt funny. After about 20 minutes, huge hives appeared over my body and my head was puffy/swollen, ears numb, throat feeling funny, rushed to ER, allergic reaction caught early. | I have NO allergies to anything, this is a first for me. This must be a VERY strong drug to have reaction happen almost immediately after taking the first pill. | M | 37 | 1 days | 3/8/2005 | 1 | Urethritis | Severe joint pains and muscle aches; burning sensations in forearms and joints; weakness in arms; pressure and pain in ears; brain fog; feelings of anxiety; insomnia; lack of energy and fatigue. | After over one year the joint pains, burning sensations and pressure in ears all contiune. It has been a year of hell. This drug is poision. If prescribed this drug insist on a safer alternative. | M | 7 days | 9/24/2002 | 1 | infected cyst and inflamed lung | SEVERE abdominal cramping, diahhrea, blood in stool and resulting dehydration and weakness. I took (8) 500mg pills over 4 days - as prescribed. lymph node that was swollen did calm down some, and lung felt a bit better, but not worth the side effects like this. I was on the toilet over 25 times in 18 hours. Doctor has prescribed another antibiotic but I will look it up on this site before taking that one. | Never take anything without knowing possible side effects and contraindications. this was very scary for me. | M | 44 | 4 days | 4/11/2007 | 1 | prostites | pain in shins and bones dry skin | hope someone can help me i been feeling miserable since taking this drug. my doctor insists it cant be the cipro and its all in my mind. been having severe bone pain in arms ,hands itchy dry skin, pain in bottom of foot. pain in lower legs and shins. very depressed. is this cipro or am i going out of my mind ?? someone please help i keep being told its not the cipro if any info please email me [email protected] | M | 41 | 34 days | 4/9/2007 | 1 | UTI | Extreme abdominal pain, severe pain in joints and muscles. Worst side effect was left arm numbness and tingling that went away. | I had never taken Cipro before. I started taking for a UTI and the side effects started near the end of the course. Went to the doctor for the abdominal pain and left arm numbness. The doctor sent me to the ER to be tested for heart attack, blood clot, stroke, etc. Nothing came up. My wife said the Walgreens leaflet that came with the Cipro mentioned these rare serious side effects, but the doctors all laughed it off and said they prescribe this poison 2-3 times each day and have never heard of that happening. I would not recommend this to anyone. The worst part is the doctors not realizing what this medicine is capable of doing to people in apparently not so "rare" cases. After three weeks of joint/muscle pain, the pain is virtually gone, thank God. I believe it was helped my me taking magnesium, which supposedly renders the drug up to 90% ineffective when taken at the same time. When I found that out (after the fact) I started taking my regular multivitamin and | M | 36 | 7 days | 8/7/2007 | 1 | sinus infection | I took one 500 mg dose. Within several hours, I had a mild fever (about 100 F), mild nausea, severe joint pain and tendinitis everywhere, muscle pain and spasms, dizziness, and a severe headache. I went to the ER and they treated me as though I had an allergic reaction to it though I didn't have hives and gave me a ton of fluid and some powerful anti-inflammatories. I woke up today with a mild headache and some of my joints and tendons still hurt. If this doesn't go away, I'm filing suit against the manufacturers. I'm only 16 years old... I'm not supposed to be arthritic and I've never had joint problems before. | M | 16 | 1 times | 4/27/2007 | 1 | Chronic Prostatis | Auditory Hallucinations, Delirium of Guilt, Thought broadcasting (Feeling that my thoughts are being broadcasted on TV) Running commentry of my thoughts being given by people around me, Feeling of not trusting others, suspicious of close relative poisoning me, feeling of hidden cameras monitoring me, feeling that your coleagues are in league to harm you. | TOXIC PSYCHOSIS OR CIPROFLOXACIN-INDUCED ACUTE PSYCHOSIS IS KNOWN TO OCCUR IN WHATEVER PERCENTAGE, BUT WHEN IT OCCURES TO YOU PERCENTAGE DOES NOT REALLY MATTERS. I WAS WRONGLY DIAGNOSED AS SCHIZOPHRENIA AND WAS UNJUSTLY TREATED WITH VARIOUS ANTIPSYCHOTICS AND ECTs FOR 6 WEEKS UNTILL I RECOVERED BY STOPPING ALL MEDICATION. | M | 45 | 6 weeks | 7/8/2007 | 1 | Prostatitis | Anxiety attacks. Suicidal thoughts. Lightheadedness. Headache. Muscle aches. Mild nausea. Tiredness. | I have been taking Cipro (generic) on and off--mostly on--for over a year. It clears up the symptoms, but they come back a few weeks after I stop. My physician has not been able to get a positive urine culture, so doesn't know what bacterium is to blame. I'm stopping again today and if the symptoms return will demand a different drug, as the anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and lightheadness have become excessive. | M | 64 | 1 years | 5/7/2007 | 1 | Prostatitis | I took Cipro for 10 days with no side effects. On the morning of the 11th day I awoke with badly swollen hands and wrists and my hand joints were red and badly inflamed and very painful. I also had muscle pain in arms and elbow and shoulder joints. Since I did not have any prior problems with my hands, and did not have arthritis, the Doctor concluded that it was a side effect from Cipro. | M | 64 | 11 days | 5/18/2005 | 1 | Skin infection | Rough bumpy skin over arms, thighs, sides. Some areas seeping sticky clear fluid. Seepage ceased 7 days after last dose (4 doses over 2 days). Still bumpy skin after 8 weeks. Severe concentration problems which are beginning to ease after 8 weeks. Some memory problems. | M | 49 | 2 days | 4/20/2007 | 1 | epidymitis | long term -low back pain aching muscles in lower trunk; no recovery from athletic exercise. Ruined my life | M | 40 | 28 days | 5/25/2005 | 1 | Prostatitis | After 16 days with no significant side effects experienced extreme pain and swelling in both feet and ankles. Stopped taking Cipro immediately. Barely able to walk, went to ER and diagnosed as Cipro reaction. Injection of anti-inflammatory drug provided about 70% pain relief. Better for two days then awoke during night with severe swelling and pain in both hands and fingers. Returned to ER next day and given IV narcotics. Narcotics provided pain relief for about two hours. After leaving ER pain so severe could not unbutton my shirt, open a door or pick up a beverage (10 out of 10). After a bad night the next day the pain and swelling lessened and I had two days of feeling somewhat better, although not better than about 3 of 10 pain scale. Awoke next night with pain, chills/fever. Pain now in ankles/feet, hands/wrists, both shoulders and so severe in right knee I can barely walk, Went to primary care physician he had his staff perform a direct admit to the hospital from his o | Both ER doctors and and primary care physician diagnosed condition as Cipro reaction. As you can imagine there was quite a bit of testing conducted to include blood tests/culture, urine tests/culture, Echo Cardiogram, Xray, and CAT scan. At this point both the diagnosis and treatment seem appropriate considering both my experience and my recovery. | M | 52 | 16 days | 5/19/2007 | 1 | appendicitis surgery | unable to sleep, disordered thoughts, hallucinations, heat waves , sweating specially in the head, though feeling cold the rest of the body,pressure inside head. Took for 3 days and changed. Still feel terrified just remembering | My sister had disatrous experience too. I Took it directly in vein. Some people say it could be less aggressive if taken via oral. I decided not to run the risk and asked the phisician to change the drug. Still feel terrified just rememering those days | M | 50 | 3 days | 5/14/2007 | 1 | Bladder infection | Severe headaches while taking it. Stopped less than half way through because of headaches. This was the first time in over thirty years in which I took an antibiotic. It is now 11 days later and I still have diarrehea and loose stools. I will literally chose death before I will take another prescription drug again. I have never in my life ever had anywhere near this severe a bout of diarrehea. I hope that the friendly bacteria has not been devestated enough that it will take me months or longer to rebuild and lead to other severe problems. It caused more problems than it solved. I took 500 mg for three half days. Never take this drug. If the company that developed it had any concern they would have developed a probiotic to take with it. | M | 60 | 3 days | 7/12/2007 | 1 | uti | blackouts | M | 68 | 4 days | 6/7/2007 | 1 | bacterial infection | blurred vision / suicidal thoughts / "brain zaps" / muscle spasms / sores in mouth / thrush tongue /light & sound sensitive | 8/22/07 - Worst drug I ever took - Thought I had AIDS (took test , I am hiv negative)/ Woke up wife in the middle of the night to pray & write our living wills / next day thought I was having a heart attack & called the paramedics / Now I can"t sleep because of brain zaps/body spasms / I am now ready to SUE,SUE,SUE | M | 47 | 10 days | 8/23/2007 | 1 | chronic bacterial prostatitis | Severe calf muscle damage in both legs. | M | 50 | 3 months | 8/14/2007 |
