 1  UTI Today marks ten years since my life was completely stolen from me by this demonic drug. A full decade of my life: GONE. 3,652 days: GONE. All from a mere 12 pills taken exactly as prescribed. I had just turned 30 when I stupidly trusted my doctor to 'do no harm'. Today I am 40. The first six or so years of this nightmare were spent housebound and in agonizing full-body pain. The last four years have only gotten worse; I am now bedridden and am still in pain 24/7/365. There has been absolutely no relief. I recall reading in The Flox Report that if you fall victim to this horrific drug it can take up to eight years to recover. Well a decade later I can now report with 100% certainty that that isn't true. There is no limit to the duration of pain and suffering this stuff can unleash on you. That $6 prescription for Cipro I filled back in 2009 has now cost you, the tax-payer, over $125,000 in SSDI benefits to date and climbing. Meanwhile BAYER gets away scot-free. This should infuriate you, even if you yourself are not a victim of this poison masquerading as an antibiotic. As long as I抦 still above ground I will continue warning people about the dangers of Cipro via my website: ciproispoison.com And as always: DEATH TO BAYER! M 40 6 days

 1  Gastrointestinal problem Had a gastrointestinal problem for months, decided to do a consultation with an online doctor. Doctor prescribed me this and at first I have no idea what it is. Until I took one pill, and when I was about to sleep I felt a jolting sensation several times. I've never had any problems with meds before until this time. The next morning I decided (thankfully) to look this antibiotics up and found out about the horrible side effects that might occur, and I stopped taking it. Funny how something this dangerous is not really known for having dangerous side effects in my country. 2 days later I have a little bit of a trouble sleeping, and also my legs and hands feels a little bit sore. Alhamdulillah thanks to God I did not endure other terrifying side effects. DO NOT TAKE IT unless you really really really need to, or you're dying. I don't know what would happen to me if I continue to take this antibiotics for 7 days as prescribed by the doctor. Ask for a substitute antibiotics. Wishing that everyone who has been floxed, a speedy recovery. M 20 1 days

 1  Epididymitis - Eye floaters - Eye pain and strain/pressure/pulling feeling - Severe dry eye - Non-stop panic attacks gasping for breath upon waking and starting to fall asleep every single day and night for a month straight - Internal vibrations and tremors almost "parkisonian" like earthquakes going off inside body and feeling of electricity zapping through - Myoclonus (muscle jerks/spasms/twitches) - Heart palpitations and heart arrhythmia - Dizziness upon standing for at least 30 seconds every time for months after - Hyperacusis and noxacusis - burning nerve pain in the inner ear and feeling of a flamethrower and alternately liquid nitrogen being blown into it, then electric shocks, stinging - Auditory hallucinations and musical ear syndrome - Reactive tinnitus - Middle ear myoclonus of the eardrum (tympani membrane) and severe feeling of wave pressure and dull earache on and off for months - Autophony - Eustachian Tube Dysfunction/Patulous Eustachian Tube - Burning facia Honestly, no comments do justice to the absolute abject misery, pain, destruction, and sense of fear and desperate foreboding and worrying about the future after the damage this repurposed chemotherapy poison falsely presented by the medical establishment as just another antibiotic has done to me and the anguish it has caused me and my family. It causes delayed agonizing and terrifying side effects that can come up at any time even days, weeks, months, and over a year after you use the cursed thing. The side effects are so dramatically bad, outright horrendous, that anyone who isn't personally experiencing the nightmare and hell it induces or witnessing a family member undergo it probably thinks the person describing it as I am now is just making it up or exaggerating. It's like something out of a horror movie or bad 50s Sci-Fi comic. I now have to worry every day about my nervous system, my heart, my brain, my hearing, my vision, and every other aspect of my body and run around to countless doctors and try endless treatments and supplements to try to reverse this tragedy.

 1  Infecci贸n respiratoria Fluoroquinolonas asesinos perfectos, ningun examen ni prueba m茅dica diagn贸stica da帽o evidente por fluoroquinolonas, es el crimen perfecto, Nadie le creer谩, sencillamente todo el mundo pensar谩 que se volvi贸 loco de la noche a la ma帽ana..... Estar谩 solo en el mundo luchando con la esperanza de que su organismo se regenere por si mismo del da帽o celular. Me pregunto c贸mo es posible que en ning煤n examen m茅dico se pueda demostrar la evidencia de la toxicidad devastadora producida por estas sustancias ( fluoroquinolonas) y si habr谩 otros medicamentos que act煤en de esta forma. Da terror que esto siga en el mercado. La realidad supera a la ficci贸n. M 44 2 days

 1  UTI Sitting in the ER as I write this. No history of anxiety or panic attacks whatsoever. Woke up 6 hours after 2nd dose. Made a simple movement while sitting, and felt shortness of breath when inhaling. Thought it was odd and carried on. Five minutes later I urinated in the bathroom, and on the way out I started fainting. Vision narrowed, heart raced, felt cold, and numb. I sat on the floor and called 911. Two pills and I am done with this CIPRO. M 50 1 days

 1  Sinusitis I took a course of this horrific drug in 2016 for a sinus infection that bothered me for 1.5 months. It was the most terrible experience I had in my life, experiencing horrible side effects during and after taking this poison. Shortly after the intake of the first pill it felt like a nuke went off in my body, I felt extreme fatigue and weakness with difficulty speaking or getting up the stairs, had terrible night sweats and insomnia, heart palpitations, feeling of an impending doom, nighttime panic attacks etc. But the worst was yet to come, like in 2-3 weeks after finishing the course, with a terrible neuropathy, constant palpitations, horrible indigestion that lasted for 8 months that lead to a 50 lbs. unintentional weight loss, liver injury with elevated AST and ALT, tendon pain, weakness, fatigue and extreme frailness, depression, panic and anxiety attacks, insomnia and night sweats, inability to work, feeling of hopelessness etc. I guess I am one of the lucky ones making a full recovery in about 1 year after taking this life altering poison, but I had to change my whole lifestyle in order to achieve that including not taking any medicine since that ordeal, not even a half of an aspirin. I wouldn't take this poison again even if I were on my dying bed... M 40 5 days

 1  prostate pain - NO INFECTION!! this may seem like an exaggeration but 2 pills of cipro taken 10 years ago RUINED MY ENTIRE LIFE FOREVER. I have since had severe tendon pain to the point that I cannot exercise or even walk more than 10 minutes at a time, joint damage, head pressure, nausea, tinnitus, floaters in my eyes, and frequent migraines. I am only able to work part-time and I feel miserable 24/7, like a zombie from the walking dead. I would not wish this hell upon anyone. Except the people who made this poison - there's a special place in hell waiting for them DO NOT TAKE DO NOT TAKE DO NOT TAKE M 46 2 days

 1  For a freakin UTI I took this drug in 1997 before all the major black box warnings came out for severe irreversible tendon rupture, CNS damage, and heart problems. IT RUINED MY HEALTH AND LIFE FOREVER. I have basically been rotting in a room for the past 2 decades severely ill and waiting to die. Multiple tendon ruptures, 10/10 pain 24/7, my life is a nonstop real world nightmare, something you can't even imagine in your worst of dreams. I cannot wait for death and I don't see myself being alive much longer. I hope someone one day bombs Bayer headquarters as justice to all of us suffering for the rest of our lives. While these despicable pharmaceutical businessmen become millionaires and billionaires off the lives and blood of our suffering...I am on disability, unemployed, bedbound, in constant torturous agony. ROT IN HELL BAYER If you took this drug recently after the black box warnings were issued, I don't know what to say to you. The warnings were all there on the package, you were foolish to take this crap and have nobody to blame but yourself for it. I wasn't warned, but you were - you could have saved yourself. So consider your suffering self-inflicted. Enjoy. M 47 7 days

Patient History
 1  Bladder/prostate pain Well today marks 14 years since Cipro ended my life. October 25th, 2009 I'd just turned 30 years old when my doctor made the fateful decision to prescribe me this poison without trying any safer alternatives first. I'm now 44 and have been crippled and on SSDI ever since. I've been 100% bedridden for years now and cannot even leave my house for any reason because my connective tissue tears from doing literally nothing at all. I wouldn't wish this barbaric condition on my worst enemy but I do wish it on every single Bayer employee. See you again next year if I can somehow endure yet another year of this nightmarish hell.

 1  Ut infection Muscles weak, leg cramps, intense itching all over body & eyes too, breaking out with hive looking patches all over body, runny nose & no energy! My primary doctor said I should have been only prescribed 5 days initially, as Cipro works in body 2-3 weeks after last dose for infections!

It has been 13 days since I took last dosage! I think I may have to go to urgent care again Monday, as I do not feel well @ all! I think I need blood tests? M 77 10 days
