| 1 | Uti/bladder infection | Was very afraid to take Cipro because of the posts I read online about it. Went to my doctor and asked for something else I also asked if anyone had complained about bad side effects. He said no, he's never had a patient complain. I am a nice girl so I took his word for it. On the first pill I was fine my uti pain was gone. I drank tons if water and used the bathroom a lot. 2nd pill in I had a migraine and very bad gas. 3rd pill in another bad migraine. I then stopped letting my boyfriend and parents control my actions on this matter and stopped taking Cipro. (They were only worried about the infection spreading which I could understand). Now this is my first day off of it and I feel horrible pains through my whole body. My wrists and elbows keep popping and it's scaring me so bad. I have been up crying for a couple hours reading these posts afraid of living with these joint pains. My bf is going to help get some magnesium in me tomorrow in fight of this nasty drug. I'm afraid of what the next two weeks hold for me or even 7 months from now. I'm getting my first apartment going to have an awesome job, wanna get married to my marine and live happy :'( I am afraid of brain side effects since I am already always anxious. I wonder if anyone got through the muscle pains and cramps in a short period of time. I will never let them harm my body like this again. | F | 23 | 3 days 2x 3 days | 3/18/2014 | 1 | UTI | This is a pill that I plan to never take again. I took it for a whole 7 days. This stuff made me feel horrible. My stomach never felt settled the whole time I was on it. I had lack of appetite, blurred vision, lightheadness, dizziness. And, even though I did a whole course of treatment, it did not cure a thing. | Not worth taking at all | F | 38 | 7 days 2X day | 3/18/2014 | 1 | UTI & Sinus Infection | Since the third day of taking this drug I have experienced horrible upper back pain between my shoulder blades, burning sensation in my lower legs and right hand, swelling of my right hand, headache, nausea, upset stomach, worst of all breathlessness, rapid heartbeat to the point of passing out! Please DO NOT take this medication if offered to you. Ask for something else. It's your body so exercise your right as a patient to refuse this medicine and request something else. | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION! THIS IS ANOTHER HORRIBLE AND DANGEROUS MEDICINE THAT SHOULD NO LONGER BE MANUFACTURED AND GIVEN TO ILL PATIENTS SEEKING RELIEF.... NOT ADDITIONAL MEDICAL PROBLEMS OR WORST CASE SENARIO, UNEXPECTED DEATH! | F | 54 | 4 days 2X day | 2/23/2014 | 1 | UTI | I took 3.5 pills of Cipro 34 months ago and have since become completely crippled by pain and bed ridden. My ongoing symptoms include: full body tendinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle pain, muscle wasting, muscle weakness, muscle spasms, metatarsalgia, exploding blood vessels, rashes, photosensitivity, photophobia, blurred vision, floaters, taste aberrations, anxiety attacks, dissociation, depression, insomnia, hypersomnia, REM sleep disorder, memory loss, aphasia, brain fog and paradoxical reactions to everything from camomile tea to Gabapentin. This poison has completely destroyed my life. | Never ever ever take a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This stuff is handy out like candy for minor infections when it should be reserved for life or death situations. Fluoroquinolones destroy mitochondrial DNA, they cause multi-systemic shut down and many people never recover. | F | 33 | 3 days 500 2X day | 2/16/2014 | 1 | pseudomona aeruginosa in my lungs | Always worked out at the gym.Did squats all the way down with bar bell.After taking ciproflaxin started having joint pain and tendinitis in my wrist and shoulder.Extremely painful.Was also prescribed by my pulmonary Dr Levoquin off and on for almost a year | F | 53 | 2 months 750 mg | 1/26/2014 | 1 | Uti | Burning in legs arms and wrists. Some pain in right ankle. Pain in wrists. Moderate pain on left leg when stand too long. Possible tendonitis. Took 3 pills and stopped bc of burning feelings. Worst drug ever. Been two weeks and some days symotoms better and other days worse. Will post again if any new changes better or worse. | F | 33 | 2 days 500 mg | 12/17/2013 | 1 | UTI | I am experiencing intense hip pain after taking Cipro. I started doing my own research after taking 4 doses and I am in shock. I pray I have not done irreversible damage by taking this medicine. I am waiting for my Dr. to return my call. I refuse to ever take this or any drug in its family again. I feel so sorry for the lives that have been forever changed by this poison! | Do not take this! The cons outweigh the pros! | F | 24 | 2 days 500 mg 2X day | 1/8/2014 | 1 | UTI | I am absolutely overwhelmed with the onset of pain in the following joints: elbows, wrists, shoulders, knees & ankles - especially the left Achilles Tendon. I have pain and fatigue in my biceps, triceps, forearms, shoulders and back. I am experiencing shooting nerve pain through 1/2 of my right hand, as well as both forearms and right thigh. I am athletic and normally physically fit, however I am exhausted and debilitated by the simplest of activities. | Absolutely horrified about this antibiotic, especially after doing intensive research over the past several weeks. I will never allow myself to be put on this again and will do what I can to keep others from suffering also! | F | 42 | 10 days 500 2X day | 1/17/2014 | 1 | UTI | I took this a year ago when I had surgery and never made the connection that it was Cipro until I took it again for a UTI. I would awake with my wrists aching so badly even the Vicodin I had from my surgery would not relieve it. I finally made the connection when I started taking it this past week and felt that same pain! I also had been smelling a weird burning plastic smell that no one else can. I am also achy all over and have pain more so in my right leg and foot. I have always known antibiotics to cause a little gastrointestinal distress but nothing like this! I took my probiotics and did not get diarrhea. Last year around this time after taking Cipro, I had bent down to pick up a DVD and my back locked up. I could not even sit right. I was out of commission for a week on a hot/cold pack. I can figure no other reason for that happening. I am normally a very active, in shape mother that has had no previous issues that led me to bed rest. I am reading that a lot of the issues arise after stopping Cipro so I've had the issues with my wrists, smell, pain in leg/foot. I am praying that I experience nothing more. This drug should be taken off the market. It took care of my one issue, but gave me many more. | F | 30 | 3 days 250 | 9/30/2013 | 1 | Bronchitis | Mental fog, muscle aches, fatigue, eye sensitivity, felt like my skeleton was on fire, headaches, felt weird and crazy, tired beyond explanation and just overall ill feeling. Not improving. | I would not ever take this poison again. Let me die please. It's pathetic that Bayer does this to people. | F | 36 | 3 days 500 2X day | 9/24/2013 | 1 | Unconfirmed UTI | LIFE CHANGING ANTIBIOTIC FOR THE WORSE!! After two days on this drug, I experienced intense muscle pain, tendinitis, peripheral neuropathy, twitching muscles, insomnia, and heart palpitations. I was fortunate enough to stop taking this drug immediately after experiencing toxicity because many have been disabled for life. Go online and read all the stories. They are heartbreaking. Two months later, I still have mild neuropathy and can't do more than light walking. My diet is heavily restricted and I spend way too much money on supplements and doctor visits. My doctor never should have prescribed this antibiotic for an unconfirmed UTI. The medical community has been misled and deceived by the floraquinolone drug reps about its safety, which is very unfortunate for all of us. | F | 37 | 2 days 250MG 2X day | 10/16/2013 | 1 | diverticulitis | pain numbness tingling in feet can hardly walk. pain in hands | F | 57 | 5 months 500 3X day | 10/28/2013 | 1 | urinary tract infection | Anaphylactic shock. Began after 1st dose at home with flushing on face and neck, then nausea, anxiety, extreme body shaking, heart racing, and finally, difficulty breathing. At walk-in clinic, doctor treated me and kept returning to check over 3-4 hours. Breathing okay after treatment, other symptoms continued. | Prescribed Cipro multiple times over the years. No discussion of potential harm. Doctor at walk-in clinic kept saying, I can't believe it, i.e. couldn't believe Cipro would cause this reaction. She gave me prescription for another antibiotic; took next day and symptoms began again. Haven't taken an antibiotic since. Found a naturopathic physician (now my primary caregiver) and another effective way to treat UTI without drugs. That was 5 years ago. Rarely experience any problems now. | F | 67 | 1 days prescribed 2X day | 9/25/2013 | 1 | Preventive measure after a colonosc | Achilles tendon torn, all tendons& joints damaged,frozen shoulder,rash,rapid heart rate,COPD,fainting,dizzy,brain fog,tinnitus,migraines,blurry& double vision,retina detachment,severe insomnia,memory loss,tremors in arms,vomiting,C different,MSG,recurring UTI,blood in urine& feces,fibromyalgia,chronic fatigue,renal impairment,liver impairment,hernia pushing through diaphragm into heart,enlarged & distended bladder,on&on...Fluroquinolones are POISON & MUST be taken off market! It's now 12 years since being given Cipro as preventive measure,no culture proving there was infection. I was forced to quit working as the FQ toxicity has caused horrific damage. I no longer am able to drive. Am unable to walk,just shuffle inside home. I have been a shut-in,homebound for several years. These POISONS (FQs) are killers! Bayer & J&J are criminals. The injured must receive necessary and just compensation swiftly. Thousands upon thousands of people have had their world | F | 62 | 10 days 750MG 2X day | 9/25/2013 | 1 | suspected Uti | pain in joints, weakness, insomnia, anxiety, depression, sore tendons, stomach problems, damage to right eye, peripheral neuropathy. | These antibiotics are poison.
