| 5 | UTI | Not sure, but my upper back is itching and driving me crazy. That is why I have been checking side-effects of ciprofloxacin. Might be just dry skin, but I don't think so. It is just the upper back and nowhere else. The UTI is gone. | F | 50 | 7 days | 2/25/2007 | 5 | UTI | No side effects | I take it for UTI's which I get all the time and I love this drug. It works quickly with no side effects!! | F | 32 | 10 days | 11/15/2006 | 5 | UTI | none | It worked. and No yeast infection. WOW. | F | 26 | 5 days | 11/22/2006 | 5 | recurrent uti | none | have experienced chronic uti since about 13, and have turned to cipro on and off since then (am presently 19), on a self-set regimen of 2, 125mg doses immediately after noticing symptoms and about 12 hours later, with much success. I have never actually been prescribed this drug, but rather I (albeit illegally) use my mother's supply (with her consent--she has been using it longer than I). UTI is one of the most crippling and awful conditions and is also one of the only drugs my mother and I have ever seen such thorough and rapid success with. If you're willing to take a chance, give cipro a try, but remember since it is such a strong drug, dont necessarily trust the dosages your doctors recommend. My mother was initially recommended a 250mg, twice daily dose for 7 days at every instance of UTI, which is ridiculous. | F | 19 | 6 years | 10/3/2005 | 5 | Bladder Infection | None | I have chronic bladder infections (5 in the last 8 months). Twice doctors prescribed Macrobid and I got extremely ill. High Fever, body aches, chest pains. I have never had any side effects with Cipro. | F | 33 | 7 days | 1/26/2007 | 5 | recurrent UTI | I get 5 to 7 bladder infections a year. My doctor put me on bactrum once nightly for 12 months, but infections still occur. Cipro is the only thing that works for me. However, after taking it this week I had nausea and vomitting for the first time after taking first dose. This has never happened before. | Always works but sometimes I have to take a second round. I always have a yeast infection with it so my doctor prescribes for that each time just in case. | F | 53 | 5 days | 1/1/2006 | 5 | intestinal infection | none that I was aware of | I took cipro after having some digestive infection for over a month. It worked like magic and I had no side effects, even though I react badly to avelox, a cousin of cipro. Cipro stopped my infection cold after only 3 days, and the remainder of the treatment period was side FX free. I know this group of antib. causes joint and tendon problems, and I do recall getting a mild knee injury while working out, about 3-6 months after taking this, but I cannot say they were related. | F | 31 | 7 days | 3/26/2007 | 5 | UTI | Tired the first day -- but that could very well be the infection -- fine thereafter. No side effects!! cleared up the infection. | F | 28 | 5 days | 8/9/2006 | 5 | UTI | Anxiety, wakeful sleeping - I woke up this morning with a positive, relaxed outlook after spending the last two days quite anxious (on Cipro, 500 2x@day) took my morning dose - anxiety returned - I now am sure that the Cipro is causing it - knowing that makes it OK - it's curing my UTI! | F | 54 | 3 days | 8/10/2006 | 5 | Chronic UTI and heavy periods | My doc gave me these meds on and off for a few months, and they helped me, everytime i get a UTI I take cipro and the UTI goes away in 2 days, I also take it during my heavy periods, it stops the bleeding and clotting. I know not eveyone can take this medicine, BUT in the begginning i did get dizzy, and tired, but that was all. | F | 28 | 5 months | 9/4/2005 | 5 | UTI | I had no side effects I just dislike how big the pills are. | F | 18 | 7 days 500 | 8/17/2012 | 5 | Allergy to near all other a-biotics | C diff colitis - bacteria in colon caused by antibiotic use, and treatment of nacrosis in left arm tissue around dialysis shunt. Prescribed along with a debridement ointment. | Although I have been prescribed cipro this round of surgeries and hospital stays, I would have to say that the majority of the time I have been on this drug it has treated me very well. I think it suffice to say that I could have gotten any number of side effects from antibiotics after this length if time, which I pro does not cause for me. It's def alwaybeenthe goo to drug for me. | F | 31 | 3 months 1000 2X day | 4/29/2012 | 5 | UTI, possible kidney infection | First time I took it I was quite dizzy and a little nauseous. After that, nothing, as long as I remembered to drink a full glass of water each time I took it. (Slight diarrhea but less than I've had with other antibiotics in the past) | Very effective and worth the minor side effects. | F | 23 | 5 days 500 2X day | 7/15/2012 | 5 | UTI | none. Almost didn't take this because of all the bad things people were saying about this drug. I had no problems with it at all. Glad I took it. | F | 48 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 10/27/2012 | 5 | diverticulitis (mis-diagonased) | Disgusting the doctor and the pharmacist did not warn me this was a "Black Box" drug! If I had been told this was a "Black Box" medication I would never have taken it. The "Black Box" warning should be clearly stated on the literature given by the pharmacist. | DO NOT TAKE UNLESS YOU ARE DYING!! I took ONLY ONE 500mg pill and after a few hours I had a severe headache, felt disoriented and cloudy. I felt pain in my legs, especially my calves. I went to lay down and when I woke up, a few hours later, I had difficultly moving in the bed and quickly realized I could not move my toes and feet and I felt very weak. I did not take another pill, I tried not to freakout,I drank fluids and went back to bed. The problem was I couldn't sleep, and when I did I had horrible dreams and hallucinations. THIS DRUG IS POISON!!! IT CAN HAVE LIFE CHANGING CONSEQUENCES!!!! From there it only got worse and I only took one pill. I was bedridden because I was so weak I could not stand up or walk. I was advised by a physical therapist to stay in bed so I would not rupture my Achilles tendons.for two weeks, or whenever I felt not so weak. I felt like a 90 year old woman. I could hardly move in bed, because when I did, I would get sharp shooting pains like I could feel every muscle and tendon not being able to function. It took over a year to fully walk again without pain. Almost 2 years later I still get pain in my calves especially if I climb stairs or do other things that put strain on my calves. I ate totally organic food and tried to detox my body to get this poison out of me and help my body heal. N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine can help. I also drank Ph water and lots of Coconut water. | F | 43 | 1 days 500mg 2X day | 2/18/2013 | 5 | kidney infection | Made my pain go away within 3 days, but made me very drowsy and slightly dizzy. The best part of it was it doesn't leave that horrible metallic taste. | F | 32 | 7 days 500 mg | 8/27/2012 | 5 | UTI | I've used Cipro several times, including now, for UTI's. I took this drug with much anxiety due to its potential side effects. I read the experiences of others and dreaded taking it. However, I suffered nausia, cotton mouth, some anxiety, mild insomnia but that is all. | The anxiety can be lowered by not drinking anything with caffeine while taking Cipro. Some of the other side effects were the same for me-even less-than with other antibiotics. When possible, always take the lowest possible dose instead of the highest and tapering down after horrible side effects. If you experience unpleasant side effects and it's possible, take half of the prescribed dose next time. The 500 mg can be cut in half as long as it is not extended release. | F | 47 | 5 days 250 mg 2X day | 5/15/2012 | 5 | for ear infection | After 1 does I became nausea/wierd feeling in body/dry heaves. . | F | 52 | 10 days 500mg | 3/27/2012 | 5 | Bacterial Skin Infection-Burn | I noticed I was more physically and emotionally tired than usually. I also suffer from chronic headaches and migraines and noticed an increase in migraines. If I was not drinking enough water, my neck would be sore if I was looking in one direction for a longer period of time and my legs would feel like I had knee braces on while walking. However, these side effects (neck & legs) would go away once I increased my water intake. | I'm 110 pounds and was on a high dose for my size. I used a probiotic daily. I was very nervous about taking this medication after reading the side effects and thankfully did not experience them. If I needed to take Cipro again, I would. DRINK A LOT OF WATER. | F | 24 | 18 days 500 2X day | 3/20/2012 | 5 | sinus/ear infection | gave me upset tummy and a little sleepy | works great!!! | F | 49 | 14 days 500mg 1X day | 3/8/2012 |
