 1  UTI I woke up with ringing ears. I was advised to quit taking the cipro. Two weeks later and my ears won't stop ringing. It is most noticeable at night and in the morning when there is little noise to drown it out. I am thinking since it's been awhile that it's not going to go away. I will never use it again but I'm afraid that I am stuck with the ringing ears. F 51 2 days

 1  UTI As a result of having a heart condition (A-Fib & MVP), I always check a new prescription for possible effects on the heart. This one got by me. After the 3rd dose I started having palpitations I could only describe as "whoppers". One of which was so strong I almost passed out. I stopped the drug. It took almost a week for the palpitations to taper off. I would not suggest this drug to any one with heart irregularities. F 72 2 days

 1  UTI WORST NIGHTMARE OF MY LIFE WHEN I TOOK THIS DRUG (CIPRO) 10 YEARS AGO & THE FDA IS FINALLY (11/5/15) SAYING THIS DRUG SHOULD HAVE STRONGER WARNING LABELS FOR SIDE EFFECTS!! TAKE IT OFF THE MARKET! Still have some muscle problems 10 years after taking drugs! Had problems with almost every organ in my body due to CIPRO. Was perfectly healthy before taking this POISON!!! From Wall St. Jrl. 11/5/15: FDA Panel Seeks Tougher Antibiotic Labels Mounting evidence of previously unknown, and sometimes permanent, side effects prompted review. By Thomas M. Burton – Wall St. Jrl. SILVER SPRING, Md.—A Food and Drug Administration advisory panel overwhelmingly called for heightened label warnings on widely prescribed antibiotics called fluoroquinolones because of unusual but sometimes devastating side effects. The action followed a day of emotional testimony from dozens of patients who said these drugs have had a wide range of harmful effects on their health and cognitive ability. The agency decided earlier this year to have its advisory committee examine the class of antibiotics because of mounting evidence of previously unknown, and sometimes permanent, side effects.".... As early as April 17, 2013, the FDA’s Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology, which evaluates drug safety, concluded: “We continue to find an association between fluoroquinolone antibiotic use and disabling peripheral neuropathy.” 2 days

 1  UTI 3rd day I missed a dose but felt pain in tendons behind my knees. I decided not to continue the meds, even though the issue I was taking it for had improved. All of my joints are popping now and tendons feel taught (like a stretched rubber band). Feet are constantly freezing. The comments online are horrifying. I took 4 500mg pills and was very physically active and healthy. I have a high profile job and am doing a lot of travel. I am only 39 but feel 99. It's been 8 days 2/16/16 and I worry that I may continue to deteriorate. M 39 2 days

 1  uti infection While taking cipro, I experienced bad heart palpitations. Also noticed a lot of tingling in my hands and feet.

Now, my feet have terrible episodes of burning, shooting pain and my heart still experiences palpitations. Shouldn't have NEVER taken this drug and I NEVER will again. I don't recommend this drug for anybody. F 45 2 days

 1  Respiratory infx Just a few hours after taking first dose my heart/pulse started racing causing anxiety. After 2nd dose same thing and went to the Er where the checked an ekg and basic labs and was diagnosed with Panic attack. After taking 4 doses this has been happening constantly, mild headache, no appetite and ridiculous anxiety. I hope the racing pulse and heart rate subsides and I can feel normal again, I've been having to take Ativan twice a day just to get through these side effects. I feel like fucking shit!! F 33 2 days

 1  UTI overall feeling fatigued, no energy, heart palpitations I was hesitant to fill my prescription after reading all the side effects online but I unfortunately trusted my Dr..1st mistake. I take Atenolol for high blood pressure and I feel like I've had a fever since taking the 1st pill. I am having my Dr call me in Keflex which I have taken before with no issues at all. This drug is evil!!! F 47 2 days

 1  UTI with kidney stones Never again! I'd rather have the kidney stones again. My skin is on fire, my abdomen is distended to the point I look 4+ months pregnant, I'm bloated, nauseated doesn't cover how sick I feel, my nose is on fire, my legs hurt and I feel worse taking this than I did immediately after passing the kidney stones. Oh and I was in the sun for less than 10 minutes and look like a lobster which is alarming bc I'm olive complected meaning I rarely burn, just brown. My legs also are extremely restless and my back hurts just as bad now as it did when 2 kidney stones were ripping their way out of my urinary tract from my right kidney. Never again! Won't take unless I'm one foot in the grave, vault already in place and this is my last hope of keeping the rest of me above ground! F 41 2 days
