 1  UTI I've experienced every side effect imaginable which got much better after 9 months. But now I am dealing with eczema which I never had prior to taking this poison. I also get sun burned easily and itch all over including my scalp for days. Cipro is so nasty that I wouldn't even recommend it to my enemy. F 34 1 days

 1  pneumonia/sinusitis Instead of taking Cipro, just buy a gun and one bullet and play Russian Roulette because even if you lose playing the game, you won't be here to keep suffering!!! I took this medication in Dec. '09 and have been disabled since!!! I was a very active 46 year old who walked 2 miles everyday, raised 3 sons, worked 10 hrs. a day....basically, I was super woman!! After cipro, I am a shell of the person I once was!! Insomnia, anxieity, depersonalization, suicidal, hallucinations, depression, SEVERE muscle and joint pain aggravated by any type of physical activity, tachychardia--resting heart rate will not go below 120 and surges as high as 160 even during sleep, nausea, projectile vomiting, all of my joints pop and grind--no collagen left!! I am 3 yrs. out and have slightly improved but I wouldn't take this poison again if I were dying!!! I basically died anyway!!!! If you value the life you have even just a tiny bit, DO NOT TAKE THIS CRAP!!!!!!! F 49 30 days

 1  bladder infection Sleepy, always sleepy. First felt a little relief from bladder infection. But was missing work and missing life in general because all i wanted to do is sleep. After awhile I started feeling very week in hands and feet as if i had no muscle strength. Its been over a year and I am still sleeping more than ever, still week, tired, no energy, hands hurt a lot. Causing me problems at work and at home as my family doesn't understand what has happened to me. I started having panic attacks, trying to cover up how tired i was from the rest of the world. Tried to tell my doctor and she said she had never heard of side effects like these...feel like my immune system has been wiped out. F 42 30 days

 1  UTI Severe muscle pain in both arms that spread to chest, breasts and legs within a few days of taking it. I'm only 26. I was fine for the first 5 days of taking it, and then on day 6 I woke up with ridiculous pain in my right shoulder, and it went down my arm to my hand. It hurt so bad I cried. I feel like my muscles are weak and stabbing in pain whenever I use them. It has now spread to my other arm, my breasts, and now my right leg. My heart is still pounding really hard. It's been 4 days since quitting cipro and I don't think this will go away, it's getting worse and I feel like I'm going to die. Don't take this drug, it ruins your life. F 26 7 days

 1  uti After 2 hours of taking the pill, I developed: Severe chills, fever, severe body aches, severe headache. Took another at night and woke up with dizziness to the point where I couldn't stand/sit, in addition to the symptoms above. This drug really scared me BC I felt so crippled and the stories I've read only increased my fear. I was never told of the risks of this pill, nor did the doctor take my size (105lbs) into consideration when prescribing. Please, whoever has the power, take this drug off the market. I am truly sorry for those who have been injured for a lifetime. I'm still recovering but I hope I don't have the above symptoms forever. F 23 1 days

 1  UTI I did not have time to develop side-effects (yet) and was lucky enough to not be allergic and have a full-blown reaction. However I have stopped taking the medicine after one pill only (250mg) and getting informed on this horrible poison. I am all about organic and healthy living and stay far from all medication possible, but after being diagnosed with a UTI for the first time in my life at 30 years old I was a little worried. However, I was lucky enough to find this website before maybe/possibly ruining my health forever. Definitely hope I will not be affected by this single one time intake and suggest anyone with a UTI to get homeopathic treatment with D-mannose and magnesium supplements if you have already been affected by damage from cipro. Avoid fluoride in any shape or form at all cost, boycott pharmaceuticals today!!!! All is in the nature to heal us, let's make it happen!

I didn't realize this was due to this medication until I found this website. Actually I'm relieved to know why I feel as I do but now what?! This is having an adverse effect on my life. I'm taking natural herbs which seems to help with the tiredness. F 45 13 days

 1  Diverticulitis and UTI Extreme joint pain all over my body. I wake up in pain and go to sleep in pain. I'm also very tired but cannot figure out if it's because I'm suffering from a fatigue type side effect or because I'm not sleeping well due to the joint pain. I have taken Cipro before but have had it several times over the past 5 months due to 3 diverticulitis flare ups and UTIs. I wouldn't recommend Cipro unless it was used for life or death situations.

 1   Fluoroquinolones can cause a severe reaction that hasn't been fully appreciated by the medical community. I am a physician and I know how ignorant we are with regards to the side effects. The FDA warning doesn't take a strong stand against the side effects and fails to mention that Fluoroquinolones lead to a SYNDROME with many side effects. To believe this class of medications causes one or another side effect is completely irresponsible of the FDA. As a physician and as someone that is suffering the Fluoroquinlone syndrome/toxicity, I beg the FDA to limit the use of Fluoroquinolones to life and death situations, and to recognize that Fluoroquinolones can lead to a syndrome that can last months if not years. If it wasn't for my vacation and sick leave days, and the kindness and understanding of my empoyer, I would be out of a job! Yes, a Physician at age 43 out of a job and on disability. This is proposterous to say the least. The FDA must take the sufferes seriously. I have revi Prior to this toxicity, I was a healthy, physically active person. I had NO medical history. For God's sake, I had never taken any meds except a few motrins and Tylenols here and there. This medication has completely made my life miserable. I feel like a 300 year person. Please, I beg the FDA to take a moral and ethical stand above monetary gains, and limit the use of these meds, and to better inform the public of the syndrome that may arise, and believe me, as a sufferer, the symptoms aren't your garden variety symptoms. THEY ARE FROM HELL! F 43 7 days

 1  After kidney stone removal surgery This antibiotic caused me severe abdominal pain not related to kidney, bloating to where I looked 5 months pregnant, gave heart palpitations, muscle aches, and significant digestive problems. This was the first time I had been on CIPRO. I had a kidney stone that wouldn't pass, and they did surgery to remove it, and left a stent in for five days. That alone was horrible, but I had a stent once before and expected that I would feel better once the stent was removed. I felt just as bad for five days after the stent was removed, to the point where I considered going back to the ER. I was unable to eat, my digestive system felt like it had shut down. Food just did not pass from my stomach for hours and hours. I couldn't fit into any of my pants -- I looked 5 months pregnant. I also believe I was unable to process the hospital drugs and anesthesia out of my body properly, because things were so slowed down. There was another med I was on for two days that turned my urine blue. For nearly 72 hours after my last dose of that med I peed blue, even though my doc said it cleared out of the system completely in 6 hours. I blamed this med for my problems, since I had never had problem with antibiotic before, and I quit that med. I continued to take CIPRO for two full days more before I looked it up, experiencing such an unwell feeling that I was minutes away from going to hospital. I also had significant heart palpitations, by the way. I read the side effects of CIPRO and many of them were what I was experiencing. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS DRUG. I have been off of it for two days, and I am still not doing regular activities, still feel ill, though my appetite is back F 44 10 days
