 1  UTI The 1st night a big circle of my scalp felt like it was frozen, all funny. The next day my shoulders started popping like crazy. I wanted to stop the pills but had been warned that the type of infection/bacteria I had, acinetobacter baumannii, needed to be killed or face kidney disease. I had begged my doctor to give me something else due to the fact I had 5 reasons to NOT take it, on prednisone, over 60, already had tendon and liver problems, and led an active lifestyle. I have not been able to work, I can barely walk, can't drive, too dizzy. No income because my doctor was too lazy to look up the "black box warning" like I asked him to and his attitude>that he knew what was best for me. I could wring his neck, cheerfully. I'm going to a naturopath next week, am starting on many supplements, magnesium, milk thistle, probiotics, raw organic honey and pure apple cider, and epsom salt baths. Fighting off the depression is another story, how do you get out of the dumps when y DIRTY ROTTEN POISON PILLS... BURN IN HELL AND ALL THAT MAKE OR PRESCRIBE THEM!!!! F 61 7 days

I don't recommend this drug for anybody. F 45 2 days

 1  Respiratory infx Just a few hours after taking first dose my heart/pulse started racing causing anxiety. After 2nd dose same thing and went to the Er where the checked an ekg and basic labs and was diagnosed with Panic attack. After taking 4 doses this has been happening constantly, mild headache, no appetite and ridiculous anxiety. I hope the racing pulse and heart rate subsides and I can feel normal again, I've been having to take Ativan twice a day just to get through these side effects. I feel like fucking shit!! F 33 2 days

 1  Urinary tract Infection permanent neuropathy in the nerves of my skin. Numbness, tingling, cold burning pain. Tinnitus and extreme sensitivity to sound (hyperacusis). Completely messed up my life. i took the drug eight years ago and these problems continue with the tinnitus and hyperacusis getting worse.

 1  UTI After 3 1/2 months still have horrible Achilles' tendon pain. Used to be a runner , but Cipro has almost completely stopped that for me . Prescribing doctor discounts the side effects and thinks it is solely caused by running. She is not a runner! Have referral now for physical therapy. Will never take Cipro or Levaquin again! I used to be completely healthy and felt great . Now feel 90 years old just trying to get out of bed. F 43 7 days

 1  Medically provable non-existant UTI It made my heart feel like it was going to stop, so much so I had to be taken off it after 2 days. It also caused agitation and confusion. And I have had heart palpatations since taking it, which is now 5 years and counting. Also, when I picked up my medical records from a physical I'd been given the day prior to being forced to take this by a doctor who was partners with another doctor whose now been arrested by the FBI for harming and killing many patients for profit (in other words, a very unethical doctor), those medical records showed proof I did NOT have a UTI. My point is, unethical doctors do know this is a very dangerous, and possibly lethal, drug. And they've known it since at least 2009. F 45 2 days

 1  UTI Horrific debilitating medicine prescribed by my doctor and approved by FDA. I *was* a healthy 47 year old mountain hiker until this medicine in December stopped me from walking. My symptoms Ive experienced are as follows: photosensitivity in left eye, confusion, loss of balance, muscle twitching, muscle spasm, tingling, burning, pins and needles, shooting pain in arms, legs, hands, scalp, and feet. Multiple Tendenopathy in both feet, both ankles, both knees, both elbows, both wrists, both thumbs. PAINFUL. Unable to walk without pain or for any distance such as down the driveway. . Must shuffle or hobble to another room. Unable to use hands to chop food or open a water bottle. Hair has fallen out. Rash on chest, neck, back, face, and legs. Neck sounds as if there is bubble wrap twisting in it when I turn my head. Jaw pops. In summary...I have suffered agonizing pain that I had never experienced in my life. It has not gone away. I have had to see Opthamologist, Neurologist, Hematologis Horrific Damaging Medicine. F 5 days
