This medicine is horrible. My joints are popping and my tendons are throbbing and twitching. I had a nightmare for the first time in years. I've a general sensation of torpor and and anxiety.

After taking Cipro for 1.5 days it felt like I was on death's door. I couldn't barely move, couldn't eat, had a fever of 100.6 and was shivering at the same time, freezing cold, woke up in the middle of the night shaking and sweaty, ran to bathroom and dry heaved on and off for 3 hours. Thought by morning I'd be fine, nope just got worse and worse. I had chest pain and then a strange cough that had a metallic taste. My friend who was with me got concerned when she saw my eyes, she said they were discolored, totally freaked me out. I stopped taking the drug. I'm slowly feeling better. This has been the worst! Doctors need to take a good hard look at this drug. It's toxic! | F | 30 | 1.5 days 250mg 2X day | 3/14/2011 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Started getting numbing/tingling sensation on left arm, spread to whole left side (arm, leg, face), anxiety attack (never experienced one before - horrible experience), inability to focus, and was dehydrated. | My doctor's office was no help, my husband had to take me to the hospital where they thought I had suffered a stroke as only the left side of my body was affected and when they touched my left side I had loss of sensation. After all the tests they determined it was an allergic reaction to CIPRO. After 4 months I still suffer from the tingling in my left hand and problems with pain in my hand/finger. Would not recommend this to anyone. | F | 44 | 1.5 days 2X day | 3/17/2011 | 1 | Prostatitis | Anxiety, dizzyness, palpitations, joint soreness, muscle soreness, tendon tightness. I took 3 pills. 36 hours after first dose I started getting muscle soreness in my arms, legs, and tightness and cracking in all my joints. 5 days later, things are getting worse. | Please don't take this drug unless it is a last resort. I'm a 31 year old male who is in excellent shape. Now I feel like I'm old man with arthritis. | M | 31 | 1.5 days 500 2X day | 4/3/2011 | 1 | reoccurring Uti | intense continuous arm pain, dizzy, head aches , Nauseous, weakness, | vie only been on this for a day and a half and after work I was fine about 6 hours later woke up with intense pain in my left arm, to the point where I was crying it hurt so bad, read this site and knew immediately what it was. Vie taken this before and had no side effects , but I'm am not taking anymore of these little demon pills, the side effects are scaring me , I really hope nothing is permanently damaged, do not take this pill I can't believe my doctor prescribed me this. I hope when I call for a different medication they give it to me or I'm screwed, | F | 19 | 1.5 days 250 mg 2X day | 9/6/2011 | 1 | Muscle spasms, weakness in left leg, pain in knee, burning and numbness on right side of body, | Do not take this drug! If I had known about the side effects ahead of time, I never would have taken Cipro. I took 3 pills and ended up in the ER. It has been over 2 weeks since I stopped taking Cipro and I am still having pain in my left leg and calf. It feels like Sciatica. | F | 40 | 1.5 days 500 MG 2X day | 11/30/2011 | 1 | sinus infection | It has been seven months since I took Cipro for a sinus infection and I am continuing to experience ongoing side effects. This side effects include: achilles tendon pain, heel pain, tendon pain in forearm, weight loss and neuropathy in arms and legs. Even though my symptoms have improved, one has to wonder if they will ever be resolved completely. Like many others I have good days and bad days. I have given up many activities that I used to enjoy, especially running. This is by far, the worst experience of my life, and I only hope that these drugs be taken off the market for the benefit of others who might fall prey to this poison. | M | 41 | 1.5 days 250 2X day | 7/13/2011 | 1 | prostatitis | Tendonitis in the Achilles tendon; minor tendonopathy in wrists, biceps. Migrating joint pains. | This drug is toxic to cytotoxic to tendons. Expect a two-week to two-year recovery time. The post-marketing incidence of these side effects has never been properly evaluated, and may be as high as 1 in 250 people-- which is not exactly rare! Currently have a brace on the right ankle and using crutches. | M | 29 | 1.5 days | 10/25/2008 | 1 | UTI | I experienced a very rapid heart beat, tightness in chest, sweaty palms, anxiety, feeling like I wasn't getting enough air, stomach distress and a bad sore throat.

I had only taken 3 doses and symptoms disappeared within hours of stopping medication. | F | 35 | 1.5 days | 7/16/2007 | 1 | post-surgery infection prevention | Cipro adversely changed my life forever. If you've ever suffered from depression or anxiety, do not take this drug. The psychological effects are worse than the physical. It has made me into a different, lesser person. | M | 33 | 1.5 days 500mg 2X day | 7/30/2012 | 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 | abdominal pain, UTI | muscle spasms similar to an epileptic seizure lasting 10 - 40 minutes, restlessness, insomnia, bizarre mood changes I regret having taken this medication. My suffering this past week has been immense and I feel worse from having taken the drug. | F | 39 | 1.5 days 2X day | 8/9/2012 | 5 | UTI | None. However, Cipro 500MG is a very strong medication! I used precaution about doing anything for at least two hours after taking a tablet. | F | 43 | 2 days | 6/14/2007 | 5 | Bacillary dysentery | Usual antibiotic symptoms - gut flora upset, dryness, etc. | CIPRO is a SHORT TERM antibiotic. The MOST you should ever take is 2 doses. Man it sure kicks the crap out of infections though. Be warned though that only a few doses are needed. | M | 35 | 2 days | 9/22/2007 | 5 | bladder infection | none | none | M | 50 | 2 days | 11/1/2004 | 5 | conjunctivitis strep throat | None really... a little bit of sleepiness but I actually like being able to sleep when sick... other than that great medication so far... best antibiotic i have tried so far | M | 34 | 2 days 500mg | 5/7/2013 | 4 | strep throat | weakness, lethargy, headache - pretty much the same from other drugs like this | It worked and I didn't find the side effects to be that bad. I've experienced a lot worse side effects from other things. | M | 41 | 2 days | 6/22/2007 | 3 | UTI | Headache and severe muscle/joint pains | I started taking Cipro 2 days ago. After just one day I had minor leg cramping when I woke up, nothing too bad. It went away soon after. Today, after taking the drug 2 full days, was different. The leg pain was much worse. Walking was difficult and I could barely reach my shins. I've spent all day laying on the couch, elevating my legs, and they are much, much better this evening. I did not take the drug today and have been switched to Macrobid. My doctor told me he had never hears of such side effects....I just hope and pray the pain totally subsides. | F | 25 | 2 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/4/2011 | 3 | Food poisoning | Mild nausea, pain in neck, tendons feel tight. | M | 23 | 2 days 250mg 2X day | 4/6/2011 |
