 1  Uti Only took 2 pills. Got Aching, sore, muscles and joints all over body for several DAYS after stopping the meds. Was told by dr it was actually a rapid breakdown of my muscles called rhabdo. Thankfully Im young and i didnt take much and drank ALOT of water to flush it out. So my symptoms have greatly improved and im almost 100% again. but it took 4 days from last dose. Also got a terrible sore, painful, raw throat. Would never reccomend this! Take something else!!! F 26 1 days

 1  UTI I went to JCL er in Phoenix,AZ 3-21-12. I was sent home, because after severel tests they said they did , nothing was found. I spent the next 5 days in severe pain in my lower back both sides. I received a letter from hospital saying I have a prescription waiting to be called in. I called ER they said I had a very common UTI. I took 1 pill at 7pm and OMG it's poison I felt dizzy and nauseas right away. I woke up screaming in agony my left arm , right shoulder , and both legs felt like someone just staked me to my bed! It felt like I was in the movie Misery. I cried myself asleep I couldn't move anyway. I was surprised I woke up called the ER and the charge nurse said that was not caused by the medication. I read the reviews and I am terrified that a drug (that a doctor can give you) could give you long term adverse side- effects, and not even be held accountable! The drs and the makers of this drug should be put in jail! Do not take this drug! F 42 1 days

 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  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  diverticulitis I was climbing the walls. I tossed and turned all night. The doctor took me off it immediately. It took 24 hours for me to calm down and I only had taken one dose. I think I could have scaled Mount Everest when I took this. Shudder. F 71 1 days

 1  Non existant prostate infection first off if you have any joint pain you need to stop this chemical poisoning. This poison attacks collegen synthesis the same way it attacks the bacteria. If you are affected you need to stay active. If you can't walk then crawl. If you can't crawl then roll. Get into a swimming pool for some light resistance work out. you need to replenish your body with protein. bone broth is the key. Boil some big soup bones and drink the broth. This has amino acids in it which is the building blocks for protein. I did recover but it took me almost 2 years. Doctors, family and friends will not believe you. They will tell its old age. Don't give up. Never ever take this garbage. It will cripple you. M 49 1 days

 1  Inflamed Lymphoid nausea,headache,extreme tiredness,lack of energy, restlessness,weakness in both arms and hands, mind was very active and unable to sleep There are other drugs out there to fight bacteria infections. This drug should be banned and re-evaulated. What I don't understand is why CIPRO would release this drug if there has been so many recordings of people getting hurt? This is a crime. The FDA needs to step in and take care of this problem. Other side effects that were listed, but I did not get were nightmares or abnormal dreams, not trusting others or feeling that others want to hurt you,hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist), depression, thoughts about dying or killing yourself, uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body, pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness in a part of the body.

 1  Kidney Infection Low BP (80/55), weakness in the knees, hallucinations, anxiety, unable to grip So lucky. I had a natural distrust of meds after I had a very bad experience with Prilosec. Got a kidney infection and was given Cipro. Supposed to take two 500mg twice a day! Decided to test it first by only taking a half of one. Side effects in a out 30 minutes. My blood pressure plummeted, had a hard time standing and gripping a door handle, even began to hallucinate a bit. Threw the meds in the trash immediately and drank gallons of water. Back to normal in 1.5 days. Got sooo lucky. Tried colloidal silver and infection was cured in 1 day. DO NOT TAKE THIS!!! M 25 1 days

 1   lose joints, foggy eye sight for few days. My useless doctor prescribed me 750 MG in the first dose. I took one and realized the effects and then stopped them. They are probably recommending it for the financial benefits from the manufacturers as this drug is extremely costly without insurance. M 30 1 days

 1  Ear infection I took 1x500mg pill and immediately starting sweating and got pins and needles pain in my feet and hands, my hands started to lock up. This all lasted about 5-10 mins, the feeling went away and I feel fine now. I am terrified for anyone who takes this. It is poison and I will NEVER take it again. I have changed my entire thoughts about antibiotics and medicine in general. This is scary scary stuff. How can it cripple so many people yet still be on the market. I'm thanking god I was lucky and got away with only taking one. M 27 1 days

 1  Prostatitis Before taking cipro I was fit and well, liked to do long distance running, hikes in the countryside etc. Within hours of taking the first pill I started to experience pain in my achilles, calves, and knees. Days later, despite only having taken 2 pills, it was very painful to walk. I felt totally fatigued, nauseous and had tingling and numbness as well as the muscular and tendon pain, in my wrist as well as around my ankles. It has been nearly 5 months since I discontinued the course and I still have terrible pain when walking or standing - my wrist constantly aches and feels like it is burning too and I can hear ligaments clicking and grinding when I use it. I am basically disabled and have to rest a lot after walking very short distances. I often feel depressed, though whether this is a physiological effect of the drug or whether it's the result of being crippled I cannot say. Whatever the case, this drug is POISON and I would urge anyone to do extensive research before they decide t M 27 1 days
