| 1 | Frequent uti | Started with feet , like restless leg syndrome, that spread higher and locked my back, then started finger tips tingling , right hand shaking, anxiety, panic , gi bloating, hertburn, fatigue, lethargy, then was diagnosed with breast cancer | Was prescribed on and off due to frequent uti like symptoms during periods. Test came back egative but was prescribed that antibiotic , now i now my frequent uti was due to hormonal imbalance. I was very athletic . Now i have to go through multiple screenings per year and treat cancer . Since it created havoc in my body. And trying to balance myself back to normal. F* big pharma and f*these incompetent doctors who doesnt know a sh*t. | F | 45 | 6 days 5X day | 6/25/2023 | 1 | They thought it was a uti it wasn't | I'm no longer taking this medication. | F | 68 | 500 1X day | 3/21/2024 Patient History | 1 | UTI | First it started out as minor muscle pain in the back of my legs. I thought I needed potassium because I had been on a low carb diet. However, each day it would get worse and worse. I was taking ibuprofen and it would help but then it started hurting in my lower back, buttocks and the back of my legs to the point I couldn't keep still from the pain. Couldn't sleep because the pain was non stop and ibuprofen wasn't helping anymore. The pain was unbearable and never stopped - had a bit of a mental breakdown when I went back to the doctors. I'm now on pain killers to manage the pain so I can at least sleep. | I'm not taking this drug ever again under any circumstances | F | 50 | 7 days 250 2X day | 4/8/2022 | 1 | UTI with kidney stones | Never again! I'd rather have the kidney stones again. My skin is on fire, my abdomen is distended to the point I look 4+ months pregnant, I'm bloated, nauseated doesn't cover how sick I feel, my nose is on fire, my legs hurt and I feel worse taking this than I did immediately after passing the kidney stones. Oh and I was in the sun for less than 10 minutes and look like a lobster which is alarming bc I'm olive complected meaning I rarely burn, just brown. My legs also are extremely restless and my back hurts just as bad now as it did when 2 kidney stones were ripping their way out of my urinary tract from my right kidney. Never again! | Won't take unless I'm one foot in the grave, vault already in place and this is my last hope of keeping the rest of me above ground! | F | 41 | 2 days 250mg 2X day | 5/3/2022 | 1 | Uti | Wrecked my entire life! | I'm now completely physically disabled and on permanent SSDI because of this poison! If you take Cipro you are literally gambling with your life. Life as I knew it is in the rear-view mirror now thanks to just one week on this crap which never should have been prescribed to me for a simple UTI. The person or persons who invented and green-lit this drug should all be tried and convicted of mass murder. Doctors are completely ignorant about the dangers and are 100% useless once you're floxed by it. Genocide! | F | 36 | 7 days 500 2X day | 10/6/2022 | 1 | sinus infection | OMG! Could not move! Every joint in my body was popping, joints I didn't know I had! Tingling in legs, arm. Gum band snaps in my face! DO NOT TAKE THIS!!!! I am sooooo sorry and scared. I cry all the time due to depression because there is no help for this! Dr said I'm crazy, poison control-no help, FDA- no help, lawyers- no help, NO HELP AFTER YOU POISON YOURSELF TRUSTING YOUR DOCTOR!!!!! | TAKE THIS DRUG OFF THE PLANET, I KNOW ITS GREAT FOR ANTHRAX BUT REALLY (?) DO WE NEED IT FOR SIMPLE ILLNESSES. CONSPIRACY ALL OVER THIS ONE!! | F | 47 | 5 days 500 2X day | 6/17/2015 | 1 | Staph infection | C -Diff is what I got from this drug. Never, Never, Never take it | F | 60 | 2 weeks 30mg 3X day | 6/18/2015 | 1 | uti | Tendonosis, neuropathy, light headedness, severe knee pain, shoulder pain, jaw pain, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, loss of appetite and weightloss, fatigue, tinnitus, cracking popping joints, photo toxicity. arthralgia, anathalatic reaction, face swelling and unable to breathe. | I am shocked and angered that this drug and any of the same group is allowed to be so freely prescribed, I had no warning from my Dr or pharmacist about the devastating and potentially permanent side effects of this drug. Ciprofloxacin should be used as a last resort in a matter of life or death, even then I would not take it, I would rather die. | F | 45 | 12 days 500 2X day | 6/20/2015 | 1 | UTI | I woke up with ringing ears. I was advised to quit taking the cipro. | Two weeks later and my ears won't stop ringing. It is most noticeable at night and in the morning when there is little noise to drown it out. I am thinking since it's been awhile that it's not going to go away. I will never use it again but I'm afraid that I am stuck with the ringing ears. | F | 51 | 2 days 500 2X day | 5/23/2015 | 1 | UTI | Extreme anxiety, extreme insomnia, loss of appetite, blurry vision, extreme muscle pain, joint pain, burning wrists and feet, fatigue, soreness in my achilles tendon | DO NOT TAKE CIPRO UNLESS YOU HAVE A LIFE THREATENING CONDITION!!!! I never had anxiety before. I got such debilitating anxiety that my husband had to take a leave from work because I couldn't be left alone. Insomnia I wouldn't sleep for days. I'm in a lot of pain, muscles and joints. Within the first week of stopping Cipro I couldn't eat and lost 7 pounds in 1 week. My worst pain showed up 5 weeks after stopping the drug. I am now over 2 months out and I still have a lot of pain but anxiety is gone. The worst drug I have ever took and will NEVER take it again! | F | 43 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 4/30/2015 | 1 | UTI | Tremors/convulsions, stiff achy muscles, urgent need to urinate, nervousness. | I would never take this drug again. I felt just as bad or worse after taking it. | F | 53 | 6 days 500 mg | 3/27/2015 | 1 | UTI | Initially, within hours extreme sleepiness to the point of sleeping all day. By the third day, swelling of legs, arms, ankles to the point of lymphedema symptoms. Exteme heaviness in limbs and joint began aching. Small bruising showing up on limbs dime size. Then very painful (8-10) tender spot arose behind right elbow, within HOURS, turned red, then swelling of the skin and muscle looking as if it was going to rupture. Within 8 hours, a large bruise the size of tHREE grapefruits appeared with everything dissipating within 3 days. The next week started the medicaton again and within hours on my left bicep tenderness began, followed by extreme swellling, redness, hot to touch, could not use arm at all as pain 10+, huge bruising starting from center and ended up looking like someone beat me with a baseball bat!!!! The swelling has remained for over a week and the area inside looks as if the muscle literally ruptured (not tendon) as I called my physician and sent photos. My arm was so sw | CONSUMER BE WARE HIGHLY TOXIC!!!! RISKS NOT WORTH IT. | F | 60 | 1 weeks 500mg 1X day | 5/13/2015 | 1 | upper uti | Day two of taking this drug I was back at Care Now with horrible rib pain and problems with chest. They told me common with kidney infection. Gave me shot of rocephine. Finished last does on a Saturday still wasnt feeling great but fever had gone away and night sweats. Sunday mother's day started to have a little pain in right leg. By Monday morning I had developed this migrating awful pain (bring you to your kness pain) and it wasn't going away by Monday night. My husband tried to get me back into Care now but they were booked and we went ot ER. The pain was so severe I was crying. ER did a urine sample and said urine has trace of blood but not white blood cells. They did a cat scan and iv pain meds. Sent me home because everything looked fine. Its been almost a week and the pain in my legs is unbearable. I went back to Care Now yesterday and they never mentioned cipro could cause this. I mentioned it. They ran some blood tests wont get back until Monday and its Saturday. | F | 53 | 7 days 500 2X day | 5/16/2015 | 1 | UTI | As a result of having a heart condition (A-Fib & MVP), I always check a new prescription for possible effects on the heart. This one got by me. After the 3rd dose I started having palpitations I could only describe as "whoppers". One of which was so strong I almost passed out. I stopped the drug. It took almost a week for the palpitations to taper off. I would not suggest this drug to any one with heart irregularities. | F | 72 | 2 days 250 MG 2X day | 5/21/2015 | 1 | Doctor prescribed it for my intestine | I BEEN HAVING PAINS IN MY MUSCLES, I'VE BEEN LIGHT HEADED, IM ITCHING, BURNING SENSATION AND MY TONGUE IS FEELING WERID | IS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE HAPPENEING ?! | F | 24 | 9 days 500 | 5/24/2015 | 1 | More side effects than I can even list. Most importantly, it ruined my joints! Have to use an electric scooter to do my grocery shopping now, assuming I can even make it into the store at all. I'm beyond devastated =( | Hoping this isn't the way my life will be from now on, but I'm losing hope the longer this goes on without any sign of healing. Tried physical therapy and it only made things worse. I'm going to start looking for a lawyer. | F | 37 | 14 days 500 2X day | 7/11/2015 | 1 | UTI | Anxiety, brain fog, panic attacks, severe psychosis, suicidal thoughts, ended up in the psyche ward, where I had never been before, ended up on psyche meds, which I had never been on before. Sooooo SCARY! 6 months out and I suffer nerve and joint/muscle/bone pain, constant numbness in hands and feet and soreness in ribs that cause shortness of breath, severe chronic fatique, dry eye and vitreous detachment, which I did not have before. I feel desperate for help and worried that I may not recover. Horrible drug this ciprofloxacin. | Fluoroquinolones must be perscribed only for life threatening conditions that no other antibiotic could cure! | F | 55 | 7 days 500 mg | 7/20/2015 | 1 | UTI | Unreal I just wish I had read all this before I started I am extremely fatigued I finished chemo in March and felt great and never felt that tired now here 5 days later I feel like I am dying from an antibiotic do not take this | F | 49 | 5 days 500 | 8/30/2015 | 1 | suspected uti | Nightmares, exhaustion, insomnia,chills, diarrhea, chest pains, full blown panic attack,mild headache, Not going to take again.. | F | 56 | 5 days 500mgx2day | 10/18/2015 | 1 | Bladder infection | diarrhea!!!
