| 5 | proctitis, post-resection | Muscle soreness | Without Cipro, I am basically disabled. I get painful rashes only Nystatin will take care of, and the anus and rectum are inflamed enough that I have to "go" every 20 minutes. Combined with the rash and constriction due to inflammation, I am in pain and unable to work most of the day. The choice is simple: Cipro, or Naproxen Sodium + Clortrimazole/Nystatin + Lanacaine + Immodium. People need to read up on anything they are taking - every person is different, and your doctor has no way of knowing how it will affect you. Yet. | M | 35 | 24 months | 1/14/2010 | 5 | Sinus Infection | Mild Euphoria, Mild Restlessness | Within 1 day of treatment, the mucus turned white/clear/brown and all other symptoms disappeared, it's also made me downright friendly, probably drug induced psychosis but in a good way. Friends say I'm never this nice. They want me to stay on it hahah. Really, I suppose I'm atypical maybe but this stuff worked amazingly for me, I'm halfway through treatment and symptoms have all disappeared down to my normal levels of sneezing and blowing my nose all the time because this place is full of allergens. As an added benefit, if I had any other bacteria floating about in me I'm sure its quite dead too. Floxin type drugs are not to be used constantly though, so as to not make resistant bacteria. | M | 23 | 5 days | 1/20/2010 | 5 | conjunctivitis strep throat | None really... a little bit of sleepiness but I actually like being able to sleep when sick... other than that great medication so far... best antibiotic i have tried so far | M | 34 | 2 days 500mg | 5/7/2013 | 5 | UTI | Zero (none, zilch) | It solved my UTI problem after several days. After taking only one or two pills, I looked at this site and nearly freaked out. But some of the very few giving a "5" rating pointed out that millions take this drug every year with no problem. Apparently, if a small minority has terrible side effects, that minority are much more likely to report their experiences. Conclusion: If this drug starts causing you problems, quit taking it immediately!!! | M | 59 | 10 days 500 2X day | 1/26/2015 | 5 | Epididimytis | Anxiety, throat and neck pain, swollen nodes, insomnia. | Neck and throat pain were quite painful. Anxiety came on afternsecond pill. Drinking a lot of water made the pain and anxiety go away. | M | 39 | 10 days 500 | 7/4/2015 | 5 | slightly elevated psa test | Nothing major. Slight stomach upset occasionally and a few headaches. | Taken to rule out infection in prostate before do biopsy. | M | 54 | 21 days 500 mg 2X day | 12/1/2016 | 5 | diarrhea | A lot of gas.Some trouble sleeping.in the first few days Did not feel 100% most of the time | I became infected during a trip to a South American country. On return I waited two weeks hoping that it would clear up on its own. (The usual "Monetzuma's Revenge" lasts about four days, so this was something more) The Ciprofloxacin did work over about 7 - 8 days. The cure was not immediate. I am tempted to give it a '4' due to the side effects, but I give a '5' because it did work. It's good that we have treatments like this | M | 79 | 10 days 500 2X day | 4/15/2017 | 5 | appendix surgery | Guys I don't know much english l have a brain fog, muscles issues, l can't sleep.l haven't slept for five days. Sometimes l see the hallucination, l fell depressed, sometimes l think about commit suicide. l can't focusing. Last night,started restless legs syndrome and a lot of problems. l used it every 12 hours and l just used 4 days but everything change my life and nobody understand me. | M | 17 | 0 days 500 mg tab 1X H | 5/26/2022 | 4 | Diverticulitis | Burning at ureatha dark color diarrhea tiredness nausea | I am taking cipro with metronidazol and others I have spoke to tell me that the burning sensation at the ureatha is the same sensation they got from metronidazol not cipro but I cannot differentiate the two. | M | 53 | 10 days 500 | 3/13/2017 | 4 | prostatitis | insomnia mood swings. Did not feel normal when on this drug. But it worked. It has been a week since I finished this drug and I feel great. | After reading all the scary reviews on this drug. I was really worried about the side effects. I have been battling prostatitis and other antibiotics failed me. My urologist told me Cipro is the gold standard to knock this infection out. And I will say it worked and now I am feeling way better. Make sure you talk to your Dr. about probiotics when taking this drug. And make sure to drink plenty of water. The bottom line is this drug is strong. And before you get worried about side effects. Remember to weigh out the risks of any medication. For me my prostatitis was getting so bad. I got to the point that I did not care about the potential side effects of this drug. And thankfully it worked and I had no real issues. I will rate it 4 instead of 5 due to how it made me feel when I was taking it. Stay off the internet sites that talk about side effects. All that does is cause anxiety. | M | 35 | 14 days 500 2X day | 8/4/2015 | 4 | suspected prostate infection | Mild, like any other antibiotic. Slight fatigue. | It MAY seem like there are a lot of Cipro complaints. However when you consider that this antibiotic is prescribed like 15 million times per year, in the US alone, the percentage of complaints vs the amount of times prescribed is VERY small. | M | 40 | 7 days 500 2X day | 11/4/2014 | 4 | acutre attack of diverticulitus | I finished the course of cipro over two weeks ago but I have had lingering pain in my left side and abdomen as well as some joint pain in ankles and wrist. | Not sure if these are side effects of cipro or of losing almost 20 pounds in about a month from 1000 calories a day. | M | 47 | 10 days | 11/28/2009 | 4 | Dental Infection | Im actually on it right now and Im really spaced out, Im nauseated, im sort of disoriented, and my joints all hurt. Its not bad enough to get me to stop taking it but it isnt exactly pleasant. | I much prefer Avelox but Cipro is also working fairly well. I just dont exactly like the side effects. Don't take it with Aspirin either, your stomach will burn so bad it makes you wish you were dead. | M | 25 | 5 days | 12/14/2009 | 4 | diverticulitis | I CURED MY DIVERTICULITIS BY MYSELF! I figured out it was the yogurt I had been eating so much of because it's supposed to be good for your intestines, but I switched to lactose free yogurt and it's gone away! It was the lactose that is also in all dairy foods that was irritating my intestine! Hope this help you all and please spread the word! If you're lactose intolerant, regular yogurt has lactose! Stay away and eat soy yogurt. | M | 38 | 10 days | 9/16/2009 | 4 | UTI | off and on fatigue | I've taken BactrimDS my entire life for UTIs, but have developed a resistance to it. This is the 2nd time I've had to take Cipro in the last year. I experienced fatigue last time too, but it did eliminate the UTI. | M | 45 | 3 days | 10/2/2009 | 4 | DIVITICULITIS | Did not experience any side effects. It stopped the pain within 4 days | M | 54 | 7 days | 12/24/2007 | 4 | Lung Infection | I've taken Cipro several times before with regular "normal" antibiotic side-effects. I'm currently on a 750mg tablet, twice a day for 21 days (A heavy dose, but needed as I have CF). I've been experiencing more side-effects this time around for some reason. I'm getting heart palpitations whenever I sit, or lay down... which, in turn, is making me anxious and nervous I'm going to have a heart attack. Somewhat despondant feelings (though I tend to have that type of personality anyway). VERY irritable. I'm pretty skeptical about alot of these reviews... I mean, permanent side effects 15 years later from 3 pills? Give me a break. | M | 25 | 21 days | 3/27/2008 | 4 | acute bacterial prostatitis | Some CNS stiulation. | 750 mg 2 X daily. Helped a great deal. | M | 61 | 60 days | 1/5/2008 | 4 | strep throat | weakness, lethargy, headache - pretty much the same from other drugs like this | It worked and I didn't find the side effects to be that bad. I've experienced a lot worse side effects from other things. | M | 41 | 2 days | 6/22/2007 | 4 | Suspected epididymitis | None, other than some hypochondria suffered as a result of reading this board. | I finished a 10-day cycle about 10 days ago. I thought I had some slight stomach discomfort and some minor stool issues. And I also thought I felt some pain in my achilles tendon, but now that I'm done with it all I think my "symptoms" were fear-based as a result of reading too many warnings about Cipro! Final Verdict = No side effects for me | M | 41 | 10 days | 8/21/2007 |
