| 1 | Kidney infection | I have been givin cipro as I have reactions to other medications .. This one was ok for the first few days now I'm at the end my body is shutting down on me feelin depressed and I have the worst sore throat and chest and worst flu .. Feeling horrible ! Is this normal for me to have this reaction ? | F | 20 | 8 days 500 mg | 6/15/2012 | 1 | uti | Life over. Permanent brain damage. Cognition destoyed, severe nuerological problems in brain. QEEG testing shows extensive disruption in the occipital lobes of by brain. This toxin crosses the blood brain barrier which can destroy more than just GABA function, other things like neurons can be damaged if not outright destroyed. I took this in 2009 when I was 28, I have not recovered and it is now 2012 and I am turning 31. | think these comments aren't true? think I'm a hypochondriac or making this up? Okay then smart guy, just you keep taking these kind of drugs then, see what happens. You'll get yours, eventually. PS I take NO pharmacuetical drugs to deal with any of this. They'll not get a cent more of my money and anyway, all pharamacuetical drugs are poison. | F | 30 | 3 days 250mg 2X day | 1/7/2012 | 1 | To the person below who asked if it's possible to diagnose Cipro toxicity in a lab analysis: No, it is not. Cipro toxicity evades all current forms of testing. This of course leads to sufferers being labeled as "crazy" or "hypochondriac" by their doctors. Is there any cure? No. There is no cure once you have been poisoned by Cipro. If you're lucky, time is the only escape. Lots and lots of time. Now perhaps you understand why there is such pessimism about this condition. It is hell on earth, and there is little to no help available. | PS. There are no "experts" on Cipro toxicity other than actual sufferers. The medical community largely denies that Cipro even does this to people. They're all sucking on Big Pharma's teat and have financial incentives to turn a blind eye to this. We're on our own here. | F | 39 | 2X day | 8/11/2013 | 1 | UTI | Severe headache, irregular heartbeat, joint pain, insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, bruised easily all over my body, dizziness | F | 22 | 4 days | 6/4/2012 | 1 | UTI | F | 40 | 500mg 1X day | 4/23/2012 Patient History | 1 | Non-existent stomach bug | fatigue, felt like I wasn't inside my own body, bruising in hands, random muscle and tendon pains, yeast infection. | The day after I completed my prescription, I had a migraine that lasted 24 hours, the most prolonged I've ever had. The first few days Cipro, I had weird aches/burning in my arms, legs, feet and hips. I NEVER have muscle pain. Muscle/tendon pain peaked a week after I started treatment and has started to greatly subside with random pains in calf, Achilles tendon, ribs and forearm. I have been off Cipro for 10 days at this point. As soon as I had read other reviews (just hours after taking my last dose), I immediately started flushing my system with distilled water and fresh squeezed lemon juice. I have also been taking L-Glutathione and glucosamine supplements for good measure and eating only unprocessed food. I'm too young for this ridiculousness. | F | 28 | 3 days 500 2X day | 8/7/2013 | 1 | Sinus infection | Severe abdominal pain and vomitting. Had to go to emergency room. | Never take this drug unless you really have a big tolerance to amoxcillian and have to be on somthing else. | F | 36 | 10 days 250 3X day | 2/3/2012 | 1 | Uti | Plz do not take cipro if u have uti go get dmannose at health store works amazing . I had to go to the hospital takin this nasty ass cipro and the pharmases and doctors assured me it's not cipro that's causing ALL the pain that people have said omg I almoust died in my bathroom I still feel the side effects my hips my legs my hands my head everything hurts and I was a very healthy girl. Non of the doctors belive me what cipro did to me . | F | 24 | 4 days 150 | 1/31/2012 | 1 | Skin Boil | Burning in stomach, chest, back and shoulders. Tingling in extremeties. Joint pain in knees, ankles, shoulders and hip. Extremely drugged feeling. Food tasted bad. | Burning sensations lasted about a week but the joint pain has been hell. I took this in early April and for a few weeks it hurt to walk, drive, etc. I am better, however, I have to be careful or I start hurting again. Wish I would have known the nasty side effects before taking this junk. Please don't take this if you can use another medication for your problem. The side effects are horrible. Doctors should be ashamed for not warning their patients beforehand of the possible effects. There have been way too many affected by the quin class drug. | F | 40 | 2 days 500 MG 3X day | 6/14/2012 | 1 | UTI | Severe insomnia, burning/tingling sensations all over body, muscle/joint pain, dehydration, nerve pain and possible damage, depression, panic, tachycardia, dry eyes/mouth, cold hands/feet, numbness, weakness. | I am one month out from stopping my course early after 4 out of 7 prescribed days, and have not seen any decrease in symptoms - in fact, some of them are just getting worse. I'm hoping that I will recover eventually, but to all those reading this, don't take your chances! The risk is NOT worth it unless it's truly a matter of life or death. Believe me - these stories could be you. | F | 21 | 4 days 500mg 2X day | 2/3/2012 | 1 | misdiagnosed pneumonia | Muscle weakness for 2 weeks. Muscle twitching ongoing a month, digestive issues.CAUTION TAKING THIS DRUG! FIND A ALTERNATE SOLUTION | F | 32 | 3 days 3500mg | 6/11/2012 | 1 | Uti | Heaviness in upper arms, tingling in fingers, dizziness, lower back pain, slight nausea | i'm done with Cipro....never again will I take this medicine. | F | 48 | 1 times 500 mg 2X day | 6/12/2012 | 1 | UTI | My side effects started with a rash on my chest, moved down to my stomach. Rash started on my 2nd day of Cipro, but I didn't think it was that causing the rash b/c I'd been on Cipro a few years back and never had problems. Finally figured it out when I started getting other symptoms and researching more. I had a yeast infection. I still have bad muscle spasms in my back, joint pain in my shoulders and hips, tremors. Sporadic numbness, one day my left arm, left side of chest down to my hip and my whole left leg went numb. I've got tremors, really bad insomnia and blurry eyes. My face is pretty red, like a sunburn and found that I know have my rash popping up on my back. | It's been 8 days since I last took Cipro. It doesn't seem any of my adverse reactions are going away. Why am I still feeling so bad? I've read all of the other postings, am I going to have this for a year or more? I have moments when it is very hard to even walk. All of these problems b/c an ER doctor gave me Cipro for a UTI. I have signed the petition on facebook to the FDA. What scary is this is happening to people every day, don't take this drug, stay away!Pleaase feel free to email me with any resources - THANK YOU for everyone posting... | F | 36 | 7 days 500MG 2X day | 1/28/2012 | 1 | Possible UTI | Muscle weakness, sharp pains going through my muscles, weakness and pain around joints, foot pain on the top and bottom, racing heart, back and shoulder aches, headaches, urge to urinate with no infection, pain in hands, pretty much all my muscles or joints hurt in some way. | F | 30 | 4 days 250 mg x2 | 1/28/2012 | 1 | UTI | (Note: I was perfectly healthy before taking this med) I took this medicine and following the last pill I could not walk. Both of my knees inflamed and I was diagnosed with rheumatory arthritis overnight. My ankle and achilles tendon in my right leg inflamed and I have shooting nerve pains through my achilles. My wrists ache from the lightest use. My knees have never healed and still hurt to the point where I can hardly walk around. I have horrible heart palpitations and tachycardia. I went through hell and back and am still frequently tortured with anxiety and panic attacks due to the change in chemistry in my brain this poison caused. My vision blurs at times and am now very sensitive to light. | This POISON changed me from a healthy, active individual to a crippled mess overnight. DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS MEDICATION (OR ANY OTHER FLUOROQUINOLONE) UNLESS YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE. It causes IRREVERSIBLE psychiatric and physical effects! If only I knew then what I know now- SAVE YOURSELF. If you or a loved one is suffering from the effects of this toxicity please visit the Facebook group: Fluoroquinolone Antibiotic Toxicity (Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox, Floxin). | F | 23 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 11/30/2011 | 1 | Gastrointestinal bacteria | I took cipro for 4 days beginning a week ago. On the fourth day of taking it, I noticed a slight pain in my hip, so I immediately stopped taking it. The next day, the pain had worsened, and my knees also hurt. The following day, still off of cipro, I had pain in every joint in my body, including within my hands and feet, and whenever I tried to move my joints they would pop/crack. The next day, I could barely walk, and my knees would not straighten all the way. I have also had heightened symptoms of restless leg syndrome and muscle spasms. It is now the next day, and I am feeling the same symptoms, plus additional numbness in my lower legs and feet, and heightened trouble walking with my knees. I will try to update my condition after more time passes, but as of now I seem to be getting worse by the day. | I never would have taken this drug if I had been properly warned how adverse the effects can be, and how AFTER I had already stopped taking it, the side effects would CONTINUE to get worse. | F | 24 | 4 days 2X day | 9/4/2013 | 1 | infection on colon | severe pheriphal neuropathy | F | 80 | 54 days 1X day | 12/2/2011 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Woke with intense inflammation and pain in wrists and all joints in hand. Fever, sweating at night, chills. Hands swollen up like sausages. Now, 2 weeks later I am still getting fevers every night and wake with numbness and tingling in both arms, wrists, hands. Different joints ache. Muscle weakness. Insomnia. I am furious. | I was extremely healthy before taking CIPRO. I run a warehouse and was kicking butt doing it. Now I have to have others help me with my usual work. | F | 52 | 5 days 500 MG 3X day | 12/12/2011 | 1 | Kidney infection | This drug has ruined my life! Balance issues, dystonia, nerve damage, tendon pain, knee pain, | F | 45 | 6 times 500 | 2/2/2012 | 1 | Nausea, extreme abdominal cramps, diarrhea, hives, itching, swelling in ankles, feet and lower legs, anxiety, dizziness, heart palpitations, and joint pain and stiffness. | I was first prescribed this nasty drug in December 2011 for a UTI that had not resolved after having taken a less potent antibiotic. I typically have issues with upset stomach, diarrhea, etc, when taking strong antibiotics, so I was not overly alarmed when these issues began immediately. By day 3, I was itching all over, had developed hives and had swelling from my knees down. My face began to swell by day 5, to the point that my eyes were tiny slits and I could barely see. I stopped taking the drug despite my doctor's advice to continue. I don't even recall how/when the UTI resolved due to all of the other issues. I developed aches and pains, along with stiff joints, in my neck, back, hands, and legs, along with very loud popping and cracking in my neck and shoulders that I had not experienced before. I began to have difficulty sleeping. I also had extreme fatigue, despite having been very active and a "high energy" person. I told my PCP about the issues and she advised it was probably an allergic reaction, and to not take CIPRO again. Issues with muscle and joint pain, stomach upset and increasing insomnia continued and worsened. In February 2013, I went to the ER the day after returning from the Caribbean, where I had become quite ill with nausea, diarrhea, excessive swelling of the lower legs and feet, and the appearance of small, bright red bumps all over my swollen calves and feet. I was dehydrated, dizzy, and basically felt like I was going to die. The ER phy | F | 45 | 5 days 500 2X day | 9/6/2013 |
