CNS processing difficulties. severe anxiety. | after 8 months, developed jaundice and a kidney stone. I have been told i will die from liver toxicity due to Cipro, unless medical care can save my liver. although all my symptoms appear in research literature, that I subsequently read after being harmed, the medical community refuses to acknowledge Cipro toxicity. when i told my doctor my side effects, he said I didn't need Cipro anyway; and it couldn't possibly cause all these problems. This is a lethal drug. should not be prescribed except for life and death bacterial infections. | F | 62 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 8/28/2012 | 1 | UTI AND KIDNEY INFECTION | NONE | CIPRO DID NOT CURE MY INFECTION I DO NOT RECOMMEND CIPRO MY DR TOLD ME THE COMMUNITY WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS DRUG IT DOES NOT WORK WASTE OF MONEY | F | 30 | 7 days 500MG 2X day | 5/16/2012 | 1 | urinary tract infection | I had taken Cipro before so I didn;t expect any problems. Wrong! I had to go to the ER because I had uncontrollable diaherria, and could not stop vomiting. They said it was the Cipro. I can't ever take it again. What a nightmare | F | 61 | 5 days 500 mg 1X day | 5/15/2012 | 1 | Kidney infection | NEVER TAKE IT I only took 2 tablets was asleep all day and still I feel my sight isn't right and start my new job tomorrow not looking good at all, my doc is useless :( I am still not right and haven't tool them since Friday it's now Sunday night still feel spaced out and a headace :( hope it goes and I'm not like this forever will it go?? | F | 25 | 2 days 250mg | 7/14/2013 | 1 | UTI | Still crippled thanks to Cipro I took years ago now. And when I say crippled, I mean CRIPPLED...on disability and everything. Have to use a wheelchair to go anywhere, or a scooter if I want to attempt grocery shopping. I still can't believe this is my life. I cannot believe what CIPRO did to my previously healthy and active body!!!!!! I AM SO F(((U(*(CKING ANGRY!!!! | DON'T YOU DARE TAKE CIPRO!!!!! | F | 34 | 500 2X day | 6/14/2012 | 1 | UTI-KIDNEY INFECTION | On day 3 of taking CIPRO I had no strength in arms and legs, bedridden for 24 hrs. Fever of 100.5, headache, body aches similar to the flu, nausea, dry heaves, weird sensation on outside of my vagina. | This was my first time taking CIPRO. I am going to my doctor to report the side effects. I will not take it again. Thank God the strength in my legs returned after 24 hours and fever and nausea subsided. A headache, stiff neck, back pain remain, weird sensation outside of my vagina.... I am writing this at the 48 hour marker of being off CIPRO. I bought FLORA or Udo's Choice Probiotics to battle yeast infections. I pray for it all to clear up in a day or two. | F | 36 | 3 days 500 2X day | 7/6/2012 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Constant body aches, horrible nerves, nausea, constant fatigue, foggy feeling | Discharged from hospital after 3 day stay for uti/kidney infection that had gotten into my bloodstream. Given 10 days of Cipro-was sluggish and tired for 10 days but thought it was just taking a while to recover from infection. Two days after finishing Cipro I was suffering extreme body aches, joint pain, left ankle swelling and sore, brain fog and totally anxious even after taking prescribed xanax. Called dr and he said to start another round of Cipro same dosage (750) for 10 more days. After 7 more days of hell-at times I thought I was dieing and even told my grown daughters how to run the house and care for thier little sister-I was taken off of Cipro and put on Bactrim. Now on day 6 of Bactrim and the symptoms have subsided some but are still there-achy, tired, moody. Leaving the house is a chore. It's been one month today that I was admitted to hospital-I felt better at that point then I do now | F | 41 | 17 days 750 2X day | 9/30/2012 | 1 | Salmonella Poisoning | After my first dose, I began to get a severe pronounced headache, only on one side (the left, & low by the base of my skull). I thought it was just another symptom of the Salmonella poisoning, since the nausea had finally subsided after 4 days. The headache throbbed, and got exponentially worse within 24 hours (after only 4 doses), but I "toughed" it out assuming it would subside by the next day. It did not. I got no sleep, & counted the minutes until my husband got home from work the next day so he could drive me to the emergency room. I thought I was having a stroke or aneurism. Right before we left the house, I took my 6th dose of Cipro. They gave me a CAT scan & did bloodwork to test for stroke, meningitis,etc. Nothing showed up. I asked the doctor: " Could it be the Cipro? I read it is given to people exposed to ANTHRAX !" He said, maybe...and then said I could stop taking it if I wanted to. I did. They sent me home with an RX for narcoti | CIPRO maims, kills and debilitates thousands of people in the USA each year. It is a BLACK BOX DRUG (severely dangerous, and requires labeling as such on the dispenser box-which patients never see!)...and when taking it with Ibuprofen (or any other NSAID), it's toxicity is heightened. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG...EVER. | F | 55 | 3 days 250 mg 2X day | 10/4/2012 | 1 | Believed had bladder infec. | Severe swelling right finger knuckle, still swollen, sharp pain if forget and sttempt to use, Taken JULY 5, 2012 | Powerful antibiotic - would not recommend any one take it!!! | F | 63 | 1 days 250MG 2X day | 9/30/2012 | 1 | UTI | I have had a sudden onset of aches and pain in every joint it seems. Numbness and tingling throughout my entire body. Even the feeling in my teeth and tongue have been effected. I can't think clearly and I'm exhausted all the time. The problems started suddenly. On day 3 of taking cipro I realized the connection and quit taking the med. The trembling has resolved , but all the other symptoms are very much present. | F | 34 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 9/28/2012 | 1 | Cellulitis | This medicine has caused pain in my joints & pains all over my body.

I was in college and had to take off a year from school because I got severe and painful tendinitis in both Achilles, elbows, shoulders, wrists, hips, hamstrings, and plantar fasciitis, I have finger joint pains in all fingers and toes. I was sooo healthy before Very athletic and it crippled me. It's been 3 years I'm 22 now and I still have painful joint and tendon pains although not crippling enough to not beig able to walk or write like I had the first year after I took cipro which led me to have to drop out of school. I also developed panic attacks insomnia brain fog depression and I was so happy before it destroyed me.

Completely miserable and unable to do anything due to not feeling well | F | 29 | 4 days 500 | 6/25/2012 | 1 | Urinary tract infection | severe fatigue and extreme weakness | After taking the medication 3 times I started feeling really weak (I could hardly walk). The day the side effects started I went to see a doctor and they took me off the medication. It took a few days for the fatigue to go away. In spite of the side effects, the medication did its job and made the infection go away. | F | 27 | 1.5 days 2X day | 8/3/2012 | 1 | UTI | Extreme joint pain and weakness after taking it for four days. I needed an electric wheelchair for three months, as the tendons suddenly erroded in my fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles. I can walk again now, but it has taken 5 months of rest and extensive physio. | F | 39 | 4 days 500 | 11/24/2012 | 1 | UTI | Joint pain, tremors, heart palpitations, some anxiety. And got WORSE when I had what was suppose to be DECAF tea! DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING WITH CAFFEINE! I am kicking myself as I already knew the DANGERS of taking this medication. AND I WILL NEVER AGAIN TAKE IT! I am not taking any more of it! I don't need my dr to tell me to stop taking it. So if you have any SIDE EFFECT STOP TAKING IT right then and there... and call your dr right away. Or even a pharmacist. Of which I did and they told me to go see a doctor right away. DOES NOT HAVE TO BE YOUR PRIMARY! | THE FDA should really tweek this medication, and or BAN IT! | F | 37 | 4 days 500mg 2X day | 7/25/2012 | 1 | sinusitis, pneumonia | colitis, tendonitis, tinnitis | no warnings came with medication except to drink a lot of water. this drug should be banned. | F | 59 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 1/30/2011 | 1 | food poisening | severe watery diarrhea, night sweats, chills, head ache, nausea, SEVERE body aches, stiff neck, weakness, dizziness, rapid heart beat, stiff sore joints, swelling/sore ligament in knee which impaired ability to walk (occurred weeks later), insomnia, decreased appetite | I took Cipro after I experiencing severe diarrhea after consuming unfiltered ice in a beverage in China. Suspecting that I had given myself food poisoning I took ONE dose of Cipro. Almost instantly the side effects set in. After one pill I was in for the longest night of my life, and I was certain I was going to die. After a sleepless night spent in excruciating pain I ended up having to be taken to a Chinese hospital (which is a horror show in its own right) by a friend who is a pharmacist. He'd never even HEARD of Cipro and when I showed him the drug information he was shocked and disturbed. I ended up being put on a regiment of berberine hydrochloride which I was skeptical of at first, but it within 15 minutes I was still exhausted and dehydrated but I was feeling instantly better. I suppose the moral of this story is DO NOT TAKE CIPRO. It is a near death experience in a bottle. | F | 21 | 1 days 1X day | 2/1/2011 | 1 | bacterial infection | Took one tablet with food this morning, and 4 hours later my face felt and looked like I had a severe sunburn. Took the pill around 8:00 this morning. It's midnight, I will not take another pill. My face is still red and skin is burning. Now I'm afraid to go to sleep. Eyes are also burning, and I have experienced some blurred vision. Don't take it. | F | 56 | 1 days 500 mg 2X day | 2/3/2011 | 1 | UTI | Hip tendon pain, leg and neck nerve pain. | If I had know of the Black Box Rating I would not have taken this drug. I am or was very active. My GP had no explanation except "I prescribe this to so many people with no problem". She could not seem to grasp the possibility that Cirpo could continue to damage my body. | F | 48 | 3 days 250 2X day | 2/25/2011 |
