| 1 | UTI | Severe lower back pain, pain and coldness in my hands, flu like symptoms, increased urination | I read the reviews before starting cipro and thought people were just too sensitive...I now wish I could turn back time. I took cipro for 3 days and right before my last dose I started having pain in my lower back, joints and pelvic region. My hands are freezing cold and they hurt. I can only imagine that this is what arthritis feels like in older people. I am usually very active and run 3+ miles several times a week. I can't run any longer, my feet are killing me. I honestly feel like a 90 year old woman right now. Going back to Dr. I will never take cipro again. | F | 41 | 500mg 1X day | 3/15/2010 Patient History | 1 | infection | Large bright red rash on face + patches of white scars. Cipro makes you extremely sensitive to sunlight. Your doctor should tell you this; if they didn't, find another doctor. This has not healed in over 5 years. I am stuck with a bright red face now; the scarring is white, so it basically is as noticeable as can be. | I would never take this drug again. Others compare it to poison and I really think it is. | M | 19 | 1X day | 4/6/2010 | 1 | Ear Infection | M | 49 | 500 MG 1X day | 7/10/2010 Patient History | 1 | An incompetent Dr prescirbed me it | Rash on face, extreme sensitivity to sunlight, depression | M | 18 | 1X day | 7/22/2010 | 1 | infection | Full anaphylaxis. Within 15 minutes of taking my first dosage, my throat was almost totally closed off and the paramedics and firemen are my heroes. I took this drug for a bladder infection and I took one pill. My eyes totally swelled shut, my lips were so swollen they were out to my nose. I received massive doses of steroids, epinephrine, and Benadryl. The doctors commented if my mother would have driven me the ten minutes to the hospital instead of the paramedics (who were able to give me medication) I would not have survived. Be aware if you have known allergies to medications when you start a medication you have never taken before but especially this antibiotic | F | 30 | 1X day | 7/23/2010 | 1 | Dr said | Burns on face, extreme sensitivity to sunlight, dried out eyes, red eyes, depression, achy bones. | A worthless affirmative action Dr. give me this for more much longer than is usually prescribed. He said it was safe. | M | 19 | 1X day | 7/30/2010 | 1 | Suspected Prostate Infection | M | 48 | 500mg 1X day | 9/25/2010 Patient History | 1 | HORRIFIC MISTAKE | CIPRO DESTROYS LIVES! | WE CANNOT ALLOW BAYER AND THE FDA TO CONTINUE CRIPPLING UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE WITH THIS POISON!

Could not even rest my legs on the floor while sitting do to the pain. Thankfully 2 weeks later I am recovering and am able to walk a bit again. I hope to make a full recovery but I will never take this drug again let alone anything in its class. | M | 25 | 500 2X day | 9/19/2011 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Cipro cleared up infection but has caused 13 MONTHS OF PAIN in every joint and muscle. Wouldn't wish this pain on my worst enemy. | At first I presented with intense burning pain. Felt like a blow torch was burning my arms, legs and feet. Within an hour my heart was pounding painfully. When I tried to walk, my legs felt incredible weak--and as if there were tight bands at my knees and hips. Never had a problem falling to sleep. After Cipro Insomnia won't let up--I get maybe 4 hours of sleep on a good night. It's been 13 months and there are days when I need a wheelchair because my legs hurt so bad. Before Cipro, I used to work out everyday. Now I can barely walk. DO NOT RISK TAKING THIS DRUG for a simple infection. IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. | M | 22 | 1 pill 1X day | 10/12/2011 | 1 | F | 54 | 1X day | 10/13/2011 | 1 | Watch this video before you decide to ingest this poison: www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/health/jan-june11/antibiotics_06-16.html | F | 40 | 1X day | 6/17/2011 | 1 | UTI | Tingling, Numbness, blurry, anxiety, heart beat. I am glad for this forum and I am having the symptoms as of right now. I've never had any medical reaction and I can't believe that this drug is out there with so many negative responses I've just researched! We need to do something against this and get rid of this product!!! I want to get better and not worse! | F | 30 | 500 1X day | 6/24/2011 | 1 | for infection had breast cancer | tendon heel pain both feet cant walk | cipro ruined my life and the way i feel right now about this med i dam the person that invented it and ruining someones life like this i cry everyday in pain | F | 47 | 2X day | 8/1/2011 | 1 | If you are suffering from an adverse reaction to Cipro, more information about this drug and its side effects can be found at the yahoo group fqresearch.org, the Facebook Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Group, cafepharma.com, and many other sites, including a growing number of blogs. Type "Cipro" + "side effects" into Google and Google Blogs and follow the links. | M | 51 | 1X day | 1/27/2011 | 1 | UTI Infection | I think I have most of them. Heart arrythmias, digestive problems, blurry vision, tinnutus, tendonitis, body & hands tremors, muscle twiches, muscle weakness, brain fog, severe pain, breathing difficulties, insomnia, depression etc. | I was given this in IV form. In a cruel twist of fate, I took cipro for 1 day and had immediate bad reaction, burning pains on my shoulders and back. I went to ER with these symptoms and they didn't make a connection with the drug. They then proceeded in giving me even more in IV form and another 3 weeks in oral form. I started getting the really serious symptoms aprox a month after finishing the dose. I'm really angry and upset, I wish this world wasn't such a sesspit of evil scum who'll hurt innocent people for the sake of profit. The whole thing is just immoral, this drug should be removed immediately. | M | 45 | 500 MG 1X day | 4/27/2011 Patient History | 1 | SIBO | Days 3 and 4 my face swelled up, total wipe out fatigue, chills, just overall sick, sick, sick. On the evening of the 4th I was starting to feel much better but my achilles heel started to hurt a little. Day 5 felt even better but now it was more than just a sensation with the heel it definately hurts. Discontinued cipro but continuing until day 7 with Flagyl. | I have had just about all the bad effects one can have from CIPRO...didn't help that my doc had just given me steroids a couple weeks earlier. sigh. UPDATE 6/20/11: After this I took every vitimin I could find on the web that said it might block the Cipro...but still went on to have severe insomnia...up for days. Found it alters the seratonin and GABA, I tried meletonin had little effect then used Lithium Orotate 5mg ...instant relief! The sleep helped my heels significantly. Sleep is stable now even without the lithium orotate. I can stand now, heels still flare up but not nearly as severe. But still dealing with terrible muscle fatigue in arms and legs. I tire out just walking through a grocery store, difficult to brush my teeth...not sure how to recover from that yet. Will post again if I can find a solution. | F | 42 | 500 1X day | 6/20/2011 Patient History |
