| 1 | UTI | Severe abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, feelings of depersonalization, joint pain, extreme exhaustion. | I have Crohns Disease and prior to my total colon resection in 1999, I was on Cipro and do not recall these awful side effects, but then I was so sick with Crohns I may not have realized. This was horrible and I only took 2- 500 mg. doses. I will not take this medication again. | F | 54 | 2 days | 1/21/2007 | 1 | infection in bellybutton | ANXIEY, ANXIETY, ANXIETY | I was perscribed Cipro 500mg for 5 days. I couldnt go beyond day 2. I had delt with very mild anxiety prior to taking this medicine but nothing ever like this. The first day i was fine then when i took the second dose, several hours later i didnt feel right. I had went to the store with my husband and i guess being in the direct sunlight made it a lot worse. I got extremly shaking with cold sweats, i was having difficulty swallowing, and lights were very bright. Each day that went on i got a lot worse. I became affraid of everything. I was scared of being outside and i was even affraid to eat. I lost a lot of weight from not eating and for weeks i would lay around in my pjs becasue i was affraid to take a shower. Every little thing would make my heart race. seeing certain things on tv would bother me and for 4 months i didnt ride in a car. i hibernated in my house for 4 months and my husband had to do all the running around. it was ruining our marriage because we couldnt go anywhere to | F | 21 | 2 days | 9/19/2006 | 1 | Kidey (UTI) infection | Aboout two hours after the 4th 500 mg tablet (I was told to take two a day, for 14 days), I was sitting at my computer at work and had a strong, frightening reaction. I felt like I could feel the veins or arteries bulging in my head. I was suddenly dizzy, confused, and I couldn't see well. I almost felt on the verge of psychosis. Unluckily for me, I had a meeting with my boss in the middle of this "episode" and I almost lost my mind. (With any luck, I'll still have my job tomorrow.) I got another prescription, one for Zinnat, but this is supposed to be stronger and I only have take it for five days. After reading these other posts, I hope I don't have long-term damage. | Thanks for my scary episode, Big Pharma! | M | 28 | 2 days | 4/19/2007 | 1 | UTI | Unfortunately, I was also taking Alleve for pain from a broken arm. Had allergic reaction - swollen feet, legs and face, sores in mouth, fluttery heart, eye problems. I immediately stopped taking all medication. Then tingly feet set in. A week later, I had some chicken and had another reaction - antibiotics in chicken - now I eat only organic. But instead of going away, I have gotten has continually gotten worse - burning feet and hands, creeping up the arms and legs. Alcohol makes the sensations worse as does bright sunlight. | It has been 18 months since this happened and I still have burning feet, hands and lower arms. Not debiliating - I still exercise and can run. Just very annoying - have to ignore. Have had brain scan, two different neurologists including Mayo as well as scores of tests to see if the problem was caused by something else - but it is too coincidental to taking cipro. I also think it effected by thyroid - fluorides are said to do that. The only thing I can say is that I finally got the Dr. at Mayo to admit that cipro might have produced these effects. Everyone says it should go away eventually - ie nerves take a long time to heal. But I am beginning to think i will have to live with this sensation for ever. I TELL EVERYONE I CAN NOT TO TAKE THIS DRUG. | F | 57 | 2 days | 10/12/2007 | 1 | post appendectomy | with flagyl -- diarrhea, erratic sleep, night sweats (I'd call them swims), bloating, gas pains and it appears an inablity to type as well | horrible drug. I would rather know the odds of getting an infection and risk it then put this stuff in my body. | M | 41 | 2 days | 11/26/2005 | 1 | prostatitis | Took it for 5 hours when I began to get a severe headache/migraine. I continued taking it and the headache worsened and persisted for 36 hours. No OTC pain relief helped and I had to go to the ER twice. The second time I was hospitalized and checked out very thoroughly as I was so ill -- brain scan and pelvic area scan. I have never had such a debilitating headache: I could barely move out of bed and I just had to lie there, feeling dreadful | I would NEVER take this drug again as my headache was so unbearable. Only one doctor and a pharmacist were able to tell me that 4% of people who take this suffer headaches, although I would have expected and wanted more doctors to be familiar with this potentially very severe reaction as it would have made me feel less panicky about whether I had suddenly developed a severe neurological isssue | M | 45 | 2 days | 3/20/2007 | 1 | Infected cut | YUCK! Received free samples from my doctor, couldn't beat the price. Had a bad laceration on leg, which became infected after a trip. Thought I was going to die, heart palpatations, sleeplessness, anxiety. Was never warned caffiene strengthened drug. Screwed up menstrual cycle completely!! NEVER WANT to feel like this again. Took 2 1000 mg tab. for 2 days. Effects lasted a week!! | F | 29 | 2 days | 10/24/2005 | 1 | Urinary infection | Severe muscle pain, difficulty to swallow, blurred vision | F | 49 | 2 days | 10/12/2007 | 1 | UTI | Heart palpitations, violent panic attacks, high anxiety, depersonalization, insomnia, muscle twitching, muscle pain, tendonitis, chest pains, crawling feeling in head and more.. as the days progress new symptoms appear... God didnt bless this drug, this drug is the devils remedy!!! | F | 28 | 2 days 2000mg | 2/5/2013 | 1 | inflammation of the throat | after 3 pills I stopped because of heavy muscular and joint pains, spitting blood and general physical exhaustion. But my cold was better. | Still after a fortnight I am suffering very severe wandering muscular pains, so bad that I couldn't walk and manage only with pain killer. I am very worried how long this will last. | F | 70 | 2 days 500 2X day | 2/10/2013 | 1 | uti | urinary retention and diahrhea | M | 70 | 2 days 500mg. | 12/16/2012 | 1 | uti | About 2-3 hours after the 3rd dose I had numbness, tingling around my face and body (mostly face); itching mouth ears, and eyes; dizziness; anxiety and a feeling I can only describe as impending doom. | I did not have a notable rash. This was my first time using Cipro. Many parts of my body, especially joints, hurt like something is attacking it. Weird and scary! | F | 45 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 7/9/2012 | 1 | Staph infection | Hallucinations!!! Awful.... Sharp stomach pains....acid reflux/ heartburn | F | 49 | 2 days 2 times d | 6/21/2012 | 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 | Sinus/throat infection | Extreme panic, near fainting, severe drop in blood pressure, feeling of desperation because you feel like you're about to die, nausea, severe bladder discomfort. | I tried this drug twice thinking something else must have caused my bad reaction the first time. I was wrong. The second reaction was worse. Within 24 hours of stopping the drug I was improving but probably because I only took 2-3 pills. This drug is extremely nasty and should be recommended on a life or death basis only. The studies about Cipro, before it was opened up to be prescribed to the public, show so many severe side effects that it is nearly criminal that this was approved. | F | 55 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 5/4/2012 | 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 and upper respiratory | Pains and cramps in feet legs arms low back knees. Hard to walk cannot drive or shop. Thank and bless husband for doing all now. I wish my doctor and all his family would have to take this poison. | F | 79 | 2 days 500mg | 6/13/2012 | 1 | UTI | Joint Pain, Achilles Pain, lethargy, severe headache, vision disruptions, fatigue, etc. | ONLY TAKE THIS DRUG IF THE OTHER OPTION IS DEATH! THERE ARE MUCH SAFER ANTIBIOTICS TO TAKE. I took this only 4 times November 1, 2012 and on 12/3/12 I still feel Achilles pain and tingling, dizzyness, neck pain, etc... avoid this drug as it will change your life!!! | M | 38 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 12/3/2012 | 1 | UTI | Pain in my legs, arms and fatigue. I would not recommend this for anyone to take. May God help us all! | F | 54 | 2 days 500 | 3/28/2013 | 1 | UTI | Diarrhea, sleeplessness first night on drug, excessive dreaming and bad dreams from my norm,nervousness,continued stomach cramps, previously injured knee and elbow both were really sore within 3 hours of first dose. | Why dont doctors pre-screen for allergies to garbage like this. Why not try a less drastic drug first and use this junk as a last resort.Rather ticked off about the whole mess. | M | 34 | 2 days | 8/3/2006 |
