| 3 | Bacterial gastroenteritis/e.coli | Sore neck, aching body but the worse was the terrible nightmares last night, dreaming I was dreaming but nightmares occured in both dream states, possibility of the dreams of me dreaming were hallucinations in some parts. Really disturbing nightmares too. | This medicine made me feel better within 1 day so cant fault it for that but am now scared to take it because nightmares is considered very rare affecting less than one in ten thousand ppl. Gonna ring doctor later to get advice | F | 27 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 11/19/2010 | 3 | Possible Parasite | Racing heart beat, Pounding heart, fever feeling (but didn't have a fever), chills, cloudy head, couldn't concentrate, minor neck pain, headache. | I am also on Metronidazole for a possible parasite that I might have picked up traveling. I thought the cloudy head was from being on a bland diet but I was on the diet a week before taking the antibiotics and never felt like this. It did make my stomach feel better however the racing heart was enough for me to call my Dr on call and stop the medications. I can't wait to get this crap out of my system... but now I need to find an alternative for my possible parasite!? This is beyond frustrating | M | 27 | 2 days | 9/18/2009 | 2 | UTI | nausea, fatigue, excruciating headache, soreness, loss of appetite, dry mouth | I took this a couple of years ago and it took care of my UTI. However, I had trouble with other medicine. So this time I told the doc I only wanted Cipro. The first night I took it I got a headache and it perpetually worsened. The third day I stopped taking it all together because I woke up feeling like death. This is just my experience. Drugs affect people differently. | F | 27 | 2 days | 12/17/2009 | 2 | UTI | Worst headache i have seriously ever had. I've been on it for two days now and i simply cannot function. I've been drinking cranberry juice as well as taking this and that has seemed to help my UTI. I have cramps that feel like period cramps and i'm very dizzie and unable to stand for a long period of time. I also have no urge to eat. | F | 17 | 2 days | 11/27/2008 | 2 | urinary tract infection | up set stomach | F | 22 | 2 days | 12/16/2007 | 2 | UTI | Gave it up after getting headaches, dizziness, and nausea. I took the cranberry chewables and the infection was gone in 10 days. I noticed improvement the next day after taking the AZO cranberry. No side effects from Azo. | Anytime I have another UTI I will treat it with AZO. The Cipro nausea was bad. | F | 40 | 2 days 500 2X day | 12/8/2016 | 2 | sinus infection | Had some additional fatigue in my arm for the past week, and did no real strenuous exercise. I think only 2 days of CIPRO was just not worth it. | F | 55 | 2 days 500mg 1X day | 2/11/2011 Patient History | 2 | bladder infection | Awful itchy rash on my neck and face, seems to be spreading to my back. | The doctor didn't mention any side effects. He gave me free samples--hey, the price was right. And my bladder infection seems to be clearing up. But I'd think there'd be a medication without high incidence of bad side effects. I've never been allergic to a medication before. | F | 35 | 2 days | 1/5/2005 | 1 | UTI | Heart pounding, tingling feeling, and horrible stomach cramps by day 2. | Insurance does not even cover this drug as of last year...Wonder why? The cost was still over $40 out of pocket for 1 weeks worth . Thank goodness for this site--I will stop taking the drug immediately!! | F | 31 | 2 days | 1/12/2005 | 1 | uti; possible kidney infection | By pill 4, I called my doctor to inquire into whether or not the med could be causing my SEVERE headache, severe dizziness, sweating, fever (103), chills, tingling in my hands/fingers, knee joint pain. I couldn't even concentrate enough to read a national geographic. He said I had a bad infection and that I should try and stick it out, that they hate to change meds in the middle of the prescription. I told them I couldn't stick it out. I run a business and I can even drive to get there; let alone walk around my house! So, after begging, he changed it to another med. My headache this a.m. is not so severe, temp is 98.7. Hopefully, by tomorrow I will be feeling better and actually able to function. It did help with the UTI but it's side effects are dibilitating! I will NEVER take this drug. I can't believe the doctors prescribe it. | F | 41 | 2 days | 3/8/2005 | 1 | urinary infection | joint pain and achiness. The cure is worse than the disease! Be careful about taking this medication. | F | 64 | 2 days | 10/28/2001 | 1 | UTI | Scalp and ears itched, rash on face and arms, 100 degree fever, cough, very painful knees especially the back of the knees. Most of these symptoms went away after I stopped taking the pills except I still have stiff knees that is making it difficult to get up and down. | I took Cipro a year ago for another UTI and don't remember having any reactions. I guess your body can change. | F | 60 | 2 days | 10/5/2007 | 1 | Possible UTI infection | Feeling like I was having an outer body experience, sick to my stomach, abdominal cramps, gas, sore throat, rash, feeling like I had a fever, hot flashes, should I go on?????? The worst I have ever felt taking any medicine in my life!!! I would rather be dead than take this again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | If the doctor says he is going to give you CIPRO, defintely ask him to give you something else, if you are a sensitive person, this will screw your body up something SEVERE!! I almost felt like I was being poisoned!!!!!! | F | 33 | 2 days | 8/16/2007 | 1 | UTI | Extreme anxiety, couldn't sleep for the 2 days I took it, would fall asleep for a few minutes and wake up in sheer TERROR, felt like I was losing my mind, unable to think clearly, completely paranoid feelings. Have never experienced anything like this. | Turns out I didn't have a urinary tract infection anyway and was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. For anyone with ongoing bladder/vaginal pain, check out this condition. I suffered for a year before being correctly diagnosed. | F | 47 | 2 days | 4/14/2007 | 1 | UTI/Kidney infection | I took 3 CIPRO 500mg tablets and ended up in the ER after taking 2 CIPRO. I had no idea what was happening to me. I was having a hard time with my thoughts and when I was driving, felt like I was going to pass out. I had extreme anxiety and my body was trembling all over. In the ER, they never attributed it to the CIPRO and sent me home. I stopped taking it on my own. I have been taking vitamins, probiotics, lots of fluids to try to detoxify my body from this horrible drug! I am still dizzy after being off it for 5 days, especially when driving. I am a RN and have given CIPRO IV to many people, I had no idea of the possible side effects and how severe they can be. | F | 43 | 2 days | 5/3/2007 | 1 | Crohn's | Dangerous fever of 103.6F and rising. | Fever stopped when med withdrawn. | F | 18 | 2 days | 6/5/2007 | 1 | UTI | loud "white noise" pulsing in right ear. Headaches, nausea, stomach cramps, bowel problems, tight jaw, mouth sores, dry mouth and lips, mild neck pains and tender breasts. Overall fatigue and stress! | After one pill I noticed pulsing "white nose" in right ear - very loud when laying down to sleep making it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep. The ear noise is very annoying. Also experienced dry mouth, mouth sores and hoarseness. After 4 pills - extreme nausea, stomach cramps, and constipation which a day later turned to diarrhea. I've stopped taking the Cipro - however still feeling the effects 24 hours later. I hope they go away soon. I will never take any "flox" medicine again! | F | 41 | 2 days | 8/26/2007 | 1 | Skin infection | Rough bumpy skin over arms, thighs, sides. Some areas seeping sticky clear fluid. Seepage ceased 7 days after last dose (4 doses over 2 days). Still bumpy skin after 8 weeks. Severe concentration problems which are beginning to ease after 8 weeks. Some memory problems. | M | 49 | 2 days | 4/20/2007 | 1 | kidney infection | I only took the medication for 48 hours due to severe reaction. The blood vessels in my outer thighs burst and made an apppearance to that of a tiger attack. Looked like long scratches all up and down my legs. Dr. found no other explanation than a reacation to Cipro (+) infection was not subsiding - still had fever and blood and urine, so changed my meds to Macrobid. Wish me luck. | F | 37 | 2 days | 12/14/2004 | 1 | UTI | I had a horrible headache, numbness in my fingers, very cold and fatigued. | I took it for two days and then called my doctor. He told me to stop taking it and is not giving me another antibiotic, but is waiting to see how I feel. | F | 72 | 2 days | 6/6/2006 |
