My PCP prescribed it for me to take it 2x daily 500 mg per tablet for 10 days. Did work a little bit the 1rst day but made my entire body hum with pain and had the runs and couldn't sleep due to nausea and bad dreams. Took the next dose the same time next morning. After a couple of hours l started getting aches in my shoulders and bad stomach cramps. Called doctor abd he told me to stop taking the Cipro. So l did. Still full of aches and my UTI is still here and now l am just drinking alot of water and cranberry juice. Maybe sometime down the road he'll prescribe another antibiotic wthout the horrid side effects of Cipro. I akso wonder why he prescribed such a drug in the first place to a type 2 diabetic knowing it's side effects. I would not recommend this drug to my worst enemy!!! IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET AND ONLY USED FOR DIRE SITUATIONS!!!! ASAP! | F | 60 | 2 days 500 mg 2x 2X day | 4/27/2021 | 1 | Kidney infection/ reoccurring UTI | On the second night of taking cipro I started feeling a tingling in my legs. Took it the next morning and my legs and arms were excessively sore.. not worth it Hopefully will get rid of these symptoms..... | F | 19 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 10/25/2020 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Horrendous. The first day I start, I felt anxious and had a panic attack , the second day, I became extremely agitated. It was impossible to fall asleep, I felt like I was electrocuted in my body, my head 24/24 hours. It was so painfull. I felt depersonnalized, restlesness, Had impossible horrendous nightmares, I felt like this for 3 months!!! Had terrible panick attack, It was impossible to fall asleep for 3 months.Also, I felt so depressed, like, was not able to feel joy. Just pain, crying and despaired. Though my brain was broke. My brain cells were Fried. I dont know how I was able to endure that. I had children and a lovely husband who help me hang on. Im sorry I speak french. My english is not so good. | First, I want to say that I’m a nurse. I wrote because I want to tell people not taking this medication. I also want to give hope If unfortunately, you tooked those horrible pills, because the side effect will pass. After 3 months, I found out I was able to fall asleep for 1-2-3 hours. Without the help of serax ( because for 3 months, I had to take pills to sleep) but I refused to take any other pills. I try cipralex and I felt worst so I stop. After 3 months, I start to Be able to fall asleep without medication. So, I stop the serax and on the morning after I stop serax , my life came back .depersonnalisation was gone. I felted released. But After that, I struggled with insomnia on/off for 2years. I Am OK now. What help during the worst Time? Nothing instead of serax to sleep and the love of my familly. But after, what help was probiotiques, chlorella dormessense valeriane teinture mère....I think as fast as you can, take antioxydant, drink a lot of water, take every things that protect the brain. I had a good nathuropathe. I have compassion for people who had or have those side effect. I never though a human could live something like that. The worst suffering possible. Lukily, I stop the cipro after 4 days because I knew, I felt something was really wrong. I want to hadded that before that horrible cipro, I never had insomia and I was a really calm person. Dont give up...keep faith,handles. Try to find help. Sorry for my english because I speak french. | F | 49 | 4 days 500 mgs 2X day | 11/24/2020 | 1 | Simple uti | After three days UTI was worse. called the PA She called in another round UTI was still there she was going to prescribe another drug and I decided to go on natural route flushing it out with water cranberry juice herbs hoping I'd get better on my own. | That was four years ago. I was perfectly healthy at 47. For a small framed woman I was very strong and can honestly say I felt about 38. But I now feel like an 80 year old woman. My muscles and tendons are tight, my bones and ligaments pop, I'm afraid to do anything too strenuous and that's not me. I'm tired alot extremely depressed. I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to walk very much longer. I can't understand why they are still prescribing this drug. The physician assistant did not warn me, Or I would not have taken it. | F | 52 | 6 days 2X day | 12/14/2020 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Extreme joint pain, and popping of joints. Severe headache, muscle pain and random pain in wrists and hands. | My most frightening side effect was a feeling of excess pressure in my head, and bad pain behind my eyes. I still have this feeling of pressure intermittently weeks later and I’m concerned . | F | 65 | 5 days 800 mg | 6/26/2019 | 1 | SIBO | Side effects is an understatement for what this drug does to you. I prefer to call it Holocaust, because it was invented by the same company responsible for Auschwitz (Bayer) and you never know what it will do to you and if you ever get out alive, it's the Devil's drug. It has completely destroyed my life and took everything from me. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK! | I hope all the people working for Bayer will burn in eternal flames for what they have done to all of us. | F | 27 | 5 days 1000 MG | 9/1/2019 | 1 | Bronchitis | Had an anaphylactic shock. Landed up with pacemaker and defribulator | Should be banned | F | 55 | 1 days 1000 mg | 10/13/2019 | 1 | UTI | It’s been two years since I took Cipro for an uncomplicated UTI. At first, my symptoms were extreme anxiety/panic disorder, fibromyalgia like pain especially in my legs, joint pain,severe brain fog, loss of appetite, palpitations, high blood pressure, rapid heart beat, POTs, extreme fatigue, food/drug sensitivities, As time has gone on, hair loss, migraines, OCD and crazy anxiety, depression lingers, I was diagnosed with a heart regurgitation on top of POTs. Pots symptoms have dramatically lessened since diagnosed, although my heart beat is very erratic. I’ve been able to start working out again recently. My Food sensitivities have lessened. I can eat without fearing a reaction now. I was 25 when I was poisoned by this drug. I was a healthy young mom who loved CrossFit and whitewater kayaking. Was I genetically predisposed to this? I’m not sure. But I do know I wouldn’t gamble on it if I were given the chance again. If my doctor told me the warnings, I wouldn’t have taken it. There are plenty of other antibiotics out there. Choose another one over this one. | Don’t risk a reaction. Avoid completely. Because ominlike other antibiotic reactions, these can be disabling and permanent. | F | 27 | 2 days | 11/11/2019 | 1 | UTI, Diverticulitis | Dizziness, irratable, tendon pain in the arch of my feet, wrist and sides of my neck. Severe sharp pain in upper left abdominal area under my ribs and left boob, pounding headach, whites of my eyes turned orange and hurt, had to keep them shut to keep the light out. Chest pain and rapid heart beat. Severe irratablity, started talking to myself and seeing things out of the corner of my eye that were not there. Most of the time I was freezing cold with short periods of getting super hot then back to freezing cold. Unable to sleep, which was horrible because I just wanted to sleep until these symptoms passed. I have been 100% non functional since taking this medication . It also gave me diahrrea and painful rotten egg gas. | F | 59 | 2 days 500 | 3/29/2019 | 1 | UTI | Fatigue, constipation, body aches, extreme itchy skin in certain areas like my back and the tops of my feet. The last day I took it it was around 10 at night. By 11 I felt like I'd been kicked in my upper back, it felt like back labor pain like a 10 on the pain scale. So awful I could not lie down in my bed in any position so I moved to the couch. Then I stopped taking it. The day after I stopped it, I puked once for no reason. Anyway I did not like Cipro at all. Would not recommend if you have any other antibiotic option take that one. | F | 50 | 5 days 500mg 2x d | 5/7/2019 | 1 | Diverticulitis | I took 4 pills of cipro, over a month ago. It was supposed to be a 7 day course of it, but it took only 4 pills to completely cripple me. I have been living on the couch, intense pain from my foot tendons, and all kinds of messed up sensations in my hands and feet. From everything I read, this may or may not be permanent, I may or may not rupture my achilles just by walking, I may or may not rupture my aorta... and I won't necessarily know if I escape THOSE side effects for a few years. Because I reacted at all, I'm a ticking time bomb for all of it. I have no words to describe how terrifying it is to live like this, I am so depressed, so frustrated, and so ANGRY. When I reacted, they shrugged and changed me over to Augmentin, which worked fine with NO side effects. If that was an option, there's NO REASON I should ever have been prescribed this poison. It's black boxed in the US, Health Canada has strong warnings for it, you're only supposed to be given it in extremely dire situations | This is an absolutely hellish drug that ruins lives and should only be used in life threatening situations. | F | 40 | 2 days 500 mg 2X day | 4/22/2020 | 1 | UTI | I have taken cipro 2 times before for severe UTI, this time on day 4, felt shaky, could not sit still, palpitaitons, and had already gone into taking day 5 m I stopped, hoping this feeling goes away, didn't have problems with it before and prone to UTIs I have enough issues, ugh Sjorgrens, IBS etc, | doc changed antibiotic to Bactrim, laying off for now, just want this feeling to get better | F | 58 | 5 days 250 3X day | 4/22/2020 | 1 | UTI | The morning of my 3rd day, after taking My 5th pill, my hands started to swell and ache. My ankles are sore and my joints are popping when I move. Stopped right away but fear I took too much. Would not recommend. I only tried it because 2 other antiobiotics did not work. I honestly thought, oh I'm young and healthy, I'll be fine. Ugh | F | 37 | 3 days 509 | 6/27/2020 | 1 | UTI | Side effects started an hour after my one and only pill. Blurred vision, tendon pain legs and feet, left shoulder. Neuropathy in fingers both hands. Neck pain. Abdominal pain. Do severe it is difficult to walk five feet or prepare my meals. | Never take this. I thought long and hard before taking pill. Evidently not long enough. I just pray vision will be restored soon. If you want to EMail me please do so. | F | 69 | 1 days 250 mg 1X day | 8/3/2020 | 1 | Uncomplicated UTI | Day 2: severe rotater cuff pain; B/L elbow pain.

Blurred vision and numerous floaters. Day 6: legs buckled getting on toilet; could not feel feet. Day 7: Last day cipro. Triggering in left thumb (IP joint). Triggering ring and pinky fingers. Doctor switch over to Keflex for remaining 3 days. Symptoms have continued/worsened/ progressed: Total loss of independence; daily severe stomach aches/burning/gastritis; weight loss/muscle wasting; daily headaches; unable to urinate; diagnosed with DeQuervains /carpal tunnel/tendinopathy/neuropathy/trigger thumbs fingers; vision decrease; depression; palpitations; constant sneezing and runny nose; fatigue; leg spasms and burning/pins and needles/ razor like pain; debilitating leg cramps; LOUD pops knee tendons; bruising; foot/ankle swelling; abnormal blood panel....etc. Day 2 to three months later. | Doctors prescribe in amounts over FDA recommendations (250 MG, twice daily, for 3 days "uncomplicated" UTI). I was prescribed 500 MG, twice daily, for 10 days). Also, lane worked showed several other antibiotics would have worked for the bacteria I had (Macrobid, Keflex, Bactrim, etc.). Once injured, doctors refuse to believe the drug has caused the damage. Instead stating "side effects are rare" (No, they are not rare, but under reported); "we give it out like candy" (Yes, this was said), "there is no literature showing there is a problem" (Seriously??!!), "maybe it's a coincidence and you have:CFS; rheumatism; MS; ________" fill in the blank. Even childhood trauma!! Doctors should be aware of the harmful side effects before prescribing these medications. At the very least they should review the FDA recommendations!! If they don't want to deal with the aftermath of their mistakes, they should at least coordinate care/make referrals/ help you to find any possible way to manage or possibly improve your symptoms. Being in the midst of a global pandemic only complicates matters. | F | 62 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 8/15/2020 | 1 | Ear infection | On 3rd day I could hardly walk.. Pain and tenderness in ankles and knees. Breathlessness, insomnia, palpatations. By 4th day felt twice as bad and googled side effects... Blown away by the amount of people suffering from same symptoms... Stopped taking them. Hope I have not done any long term damage | I had 4 more days left to finish course... No way would I recommend this drug.. My ear infection cleared up within 3 days.. But the rest of my body feels like hell | F | 60 | 4 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/20/2020 | 1 | Bowel infection | Severe knee pain, could walk up stairs & very painful Reported this to Dr & he didn't believe it was caused by Cipro & said I would regret this if I ever got pneumonia!
