 1  prostatitis Heart palpitations, severe anxiety, severe insomnia. As a result of my insomnia - which kept me up for 48 hours at a time - and anxiety I got addicted to benzodiazapines - another dangerous class of drugs that are over-prescribed - which was most unpleasant to fix. I also think it damaged my immune system as I simultaneously developed psoriatic arthritis along with the stated symptoms. Flouroquinalones are well-documented to cause all sorts of very bad side effects, some permanently disabling. There are support groups and at least one documentary that document such. A number of drugs in this class have been banned in Europe because of the side effect profile. They should never be used as a first-resort antibiotic but they often are. It took me two years of hell to recover from my side effects and I still don't sleep like I used to and find it hard to get motivated sometimes. Don't take any drug in this class unless your life depends on it. Really. M 66 30 days

 1  UTI Anxiety, rapid heart beat, increased tinnitus, mental fog, tingling in extremeties, headaches This stuff is no joke. Was prescribed this for UTI and stopped after just 2 doses.After 1 week, the tinnitus is still there, but other side effects seem to have subsided. For those who need to detox from this nasty drug, magnesium chelate and NAC are recommended in other forums I've read. M 42 6 days

 1   Today marks SEVEN YEARS since I was poisoned by this medication. Seven years since my independent life came to an abrupt and completely unanticipated end. Who would have ever imagined that 12 FDA-approved antibiotic pills taken over the course of six days could permanently cripple a previously-healthy 30-year-old? I sure didn't. I am now 37 years old, living back with my parents and collecting SSDI. All because I trusted my doctor & the FDA. Shame on me, and shame on them! And as always: DEATH TO BAYER! I have now spent the past 2,555 days in bed, as I am no longer able to walk thanks to Cipro. My condition only gets worse with time. A year ago I was merely housebound; now I am completely bedridden. I haven't left my house or been outside in nearly a year now. I haven't even seen my own kitchen since last November (I can no longer do stairs so I am confined to my bedroom). I am truly just waiting to die at this point. Those 12 pills completely destroyed all of my tendons/joints/connective tissue. Doctors have been of absolutely no help (often quite the contrary). If you at all care about your life, stay the hell away from this antibiotic and all others in its class. Cipro can destroy your body & your life in ways you cannot even begin to imagine.

 1  Prostatitis Dr. put me on 250mg twice a day. Must say it helped with the infection. The side effects are AWFUL. For me, I can handle pain, but I cannot handle insomnia. Restless nights from the beginning. Terrible . No rest and trying to heal is the worse. Developed Neurapthy in Right foot and terrible aches in my low back and hips. Crap drug. If you can not use this drug, please I beg you to ask for something else. I stopped 3 days ago thinking insomnia would leave. No.deal. Worse now with anxiety attached. Makes.it hard to manage your affairs and work. MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR OTHER OPTIONS BEFORE YOU SUBMIT TO THIS CRAP DRUG M 54 2 months

 1   Today marks six years since I officially lost my life to 12 Cipro pills. Six years now since I've seen a gym. Six years since I've been to a mall. Six years since I've taken a simple walk outside. I've been in bed for 2,191 days now thanks to this poison masquerading as an antibiotic. My hope of ever recovering is long gone at this point. I don't even bother lying to myself anymore. If you're done living, take Cipro. Death to Bayer & shame on the FDA. Google "Cipro is poison" if you'd like to learn more. M 36

 1  Epididymitis I initially took Cipro Oral to treat Epididymitis and the Military Doc told me to take a 500 MG pill twice a day, so 1000 MG's a day for 10 whole days. I was very sick and did not know if it was from the Epididymitis or the effects of the Cipro on my body. This happened to me back in March of 2015, so just about eight months ago. I have had a very dry fuzzy tongue for 8 months, chest pain, which I was told I now have GERD, I feel fatigued, I always feel bloated, my muscles feel weak, and my eyes always burn, not to mention every tendon and joint in my body pops like crazy when I get out of bed in the morning. I just hope there is an end to all this suffering soon because I am normally a very healthy man, but I feel Cipro has taken that away from me. Please do your research before you take this drug, it should be removed from the market. M 25 10 days

 1   Now that the FDA has FINALLY acknowledged that fluoroquinolone-associated disability exists (30 years later!), I think it's time we victims band together and get compensated for our damages, our pain & suffering, our lost income and the lost years of our lives. Why should U.S. tax payers be on the line for our SSDI benefits when it was Big Pharma that caused all of this? The public should be outraged. I don't know about you, but I cannot live on SSDI alone. Not when I have to pay someone to do the most menial tasks for me now like grocery shopping, yard work, taking out the trash, etc. Why should I be relegated to a life of poverty and financial ruin because a multi-billion dollar corporation (as well as the FDA) withheld safety information from me? Bayer owes me and countless others MILLIONS, and it's about damn time they pay up. M

 1  possible digestive infection Lower back pain, shortness of breath, foggy feeling, extreme anxiety, felt like coming out of my skin. Literally had thoughts of suicide. Waves of despair and paranoia. Horrible metallic taste in mouth. Insomnia. Haven't slept much in 4 days. Tingling hands. Now hands are asleep while sleeping indicating peripheral neuropathy Just Google Flagyl and Cipro lawsuits. There are firms dedicated to nothing but filing suit for people whose lives have been destroyed because of these drugs. I only took 7 pills of this poison and 7 pills of Flagyl before stopping. I believe both drugs in concert have caused the severe side affects to double. No way of knowing which one is worse. I've read that both are equally as horrible on their own. Side affects are still present after 3 days of being off. It is bar none the worst most insidious chemical I have ever put into my body. The people who developed it, sell it and approved it belong in prison. How the FDA allowed this nightmare drug on the market is beyond belief. I thought they were supposed to protect us. M 59 7 times
