| 5 | UTI | Anxiety, tingling in hands, panicky feelings. | This cleared up my UTI in 3 days without any major problems. I did notice a spike in anxiety after taking the second pill, but it was mangeable. Some tingling in my hands and feet and some muscle aches in my abdomen but nothing major. I did end up with a yeast infection, but that always happens to me when I take an antibiotic. | F | 22 | 3 days 2X day | 11/7/2011 | 5 | UTI | mild nausea, night sweats | I've been on this script a few times for UTIs. I've never had an issue that concerned me while taking it. For those asking why it's still on the market...the FDA is here to make money, not care about your health. There are TONS of "medications" and treatments the FDA approves that are horrifying. Look into it! | F | 40 | 3 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/17/2011 | 5 | UTI | slight dizziness when first getting up from seated, took longer to fall asleep at night, which I will gladly trade for a continuing UTI and potential kidney infection. | took cipro 250 twice daily for a UTI for three days. Infection cured quickly, no recurrence. I consider these side effects to be Minor and was dissapointed when I didn't see poodles or turn into a zombie as described here. It's been 48 hours since last dose, neck is a bit sore, but i have also been writing at my computer non stop for the past three days??? That might just be too rational a causation though, and probably won't help anyone sue their doctor. | F | 38 | 3 days | 2/9/2009 | 5 | UTI | None | I was scared to take this medication because I consulted this website before hand. Not only did I have absolutely zero side effects but I felt completely normal and my UTI is gone. I was on 1,000 mg per day. I do realize that everyone has different experiences but sometimes anxiety can make us feel things that are all in our minds. I've suffered from a panic disorder for over two years and I am prone to anxiety. This drug did not make me feel anxious at all. If you let yourself believe you will have side effects, sometimes it will manifest but it's not real. I'm sure there are some people who may be allergic but there are billions of people in the world and only a few of them felt compelled to come on here and complain about this drug. Think about how many have taken it and didn't bother to come on here. I felt it was my duty to report that this drug is ok. | F | 31 | 3 days | 4/29/2008 | 5 | UTI | second day on Cipro for a UTI, so far so good, 3 more pills left and no reactions so far. | After reading on here and having a previous bad experience with Bactrim I was pretty nervous to start Cipro. My bladder infection is gone and ZERO side effects. It seems as that people would only log onto this website because they were having problems... keep that in mind when considering these comments. | F | 26 | 3 days | 11/14/2007 | 5 | Bladder Infection | None | It helped so much- my infection was very severe. If I DID get any side effects, they were better than having pain and peeing blood. | F | 16 | 3 days | 1/7/2010 | 5 | UTI infection | The first night after taking the CIPRO I had flu type of symptoms. My eyes were burning and I felt feverish, although I had no fever. The next day I felt better and continued the three day course. I had no other negative experiences and the infection totally cleared up. | F | 52 | 3 days | 6/20/2009 | 5 | I have used this time and again with great results. 500 mg 2x a day for 3 days. 150 mg 2x a day for 10 days. No side effects, just quick clearing of the nasty symptoms of a UTI. Btw...I am not Big Pharma. I am a mom and work part time. Seems like so many are dissatisfied. I thought I would express my experience with it, since it was positive. | F | 43 | 3 days 500mg | 2/18/2016 | 5 | UTI | Some achy muscles, drowsiness, some anxiety | I was absolutely terrified to try CIPRO after reading all of these reviews. So much so that I called my primary physician to make sure she thought I should (I was prescribed this by a walk in clinic after my second UTI in two months), and also asked several of my family members and friends if they had taken it. I finally decided to take it after realizing that virtually every antibiotic I had been given for UTIs in the past had equally as terrifying reviews and those were processed fine by my body. I felt some lethargy, muscle aches, and some mind anxiety/depression over the three days I took Cipro. However, these symptoms could have all been do to PMS and caffeine withdrawal as well. None of them were severe in the slightest. I would say the most inconvenient part of this process was not being able to the ibuprofen for a slight headache I had that wouldn't go away (again, likely due to a lack of caffeine intake). Overall, I didn't have any symptoms that have scared me away from this antibiotic. I will probably avoid caffeine for a bit longer, but that is honestly only because coffee tends to give me a bit of anxiety in general and I don't want to risk making that worse. | F | 27 | 3 days 150 2X day | 5/29/2018 | 5 | UTI | no side effects | It is my preferred medication for UTI, which, thankfully, I don't get often, maybe 1 every year or two. I would not want to take a higher dose now that I'm older, but I have found 250mg to be tolerable. It clears the infection for me with no side effects. | F | 65 | 3 days 250 mg 2X day | 3/16/2017 | 4 | UTI | A little shaky from caffeine. No major side effects | F | 65 | 3 days 500 | 1/11/2019 | 4 | UTI | off and on fatigue | I've taken BactrimDS my entire life for UTIs, but have developed a resistance to it. This is the 2nd time I've had to take Cipro in the last year. I experienced fatigue last time too, but it did eliminate the UTI. | M | 45 | 3 days | 10/2/2009 | 4 | UTI | I'm on day 3. 2 hours after taking the first dose I noticed a big difference. 24 hours later the burning sensation when urinating was almost completely gone and the urge to urinate all the time was significantly better. The only side effects I've noticed are: dry mouth, being tired throughout the day and wanting to go to bed by 7pm, and minor cramps (take with food). Regardless of these side effects, I'd certainly use Cipro again if needed and recommend it to others. | I read this site the first night I began the medicine and freaked out and called my OB/GYN (I had gotten the Cipro from a Urgent Care). I asked my doctor about the side effects and what they normally recommend, and they said they use Cipro all the time and that they've never heard of any of the side effects mentioned on this site (not to say those who posted them are making things up). Anyway, I haven't had any negative side effects, and would recommend it as a med that knocks out a UTI quickly. | F | 26 | 3 days | 11/18/2009 | 4 | UTI | Tiredness, slight insomnia. | I have been having recurrent UTI's for the past few months (or it could possibly be the same UTI that refuses to go away). Until now my doctor had just been prescribing me light weight anti-biotics like Amxoacilin, but since it didn't seem to be helping he prescribed me this instead. I just finished the dose and I feel fine. My abdominal and lower back pain is gone and I'm going in for another check up soon. | F | 21 | 3 days | 1/10/2010 | 4 | UTI | Itchy rash on legs and arms, but it cured my UTI. Doctor diagnosed the reaction immediately. When I stopped taking cipro, the rash went away within a day. | F | 34 | 3 days | 12/24/2008 | 4 | Intestinal Bacteria Infection | Nausea and constipation. | I just finished the last of 6 500m pills, I am hoping it worked. I did not have the severe side effects others did. If it worked the few side effects I had were worth it. | F | 46 | 3 days | 5/3/2009 | 4 | UTI | While it cleared my infection quickly, I did experience some blurred vision and ultimately developed a rash on my stomach. | F | 49 | 3 days | 6/8/2009 | 4 | UTI | nausea, nausea, nausea!! Still have nausea and it has been over 24 hours since last dose. | There must be something other than Cipro for UTI that does not make me feel worse than the UTI. | F | 79 | 3 days 250 mg 2X day | 6/21/2011 | 4 | UTI | immediately after i took it i felt nauseous and lost my appetite. that night i got a pretty bad headache, which i attributed to lack of caffeine but it could very easily have been the cipro. the headache continued the next day so i took advil and that helped. but i started to feel chest pains. my stomach was irritable and i had sharp lower abdominal pains which i thought were due to indigestion. the headaches subsided after the 2nd day, and i don't feel the chest pains now. i am on the 3rd day so i think my body built up a tolerance. however i think i may be developing a yeast infection. | all this internet information is scaring me and i'm cursing my doctor for prescribing this drug when there are so many other antibiotics she could have used. the last time i had a uti i was given sulfa which made me sluggish the first day but i was fine afterwards. i definitely feel the side effects a lot more with cipro, but i guess none of them are debilitating so i suppose i'm lucky. (my prescription was 500 mg, 2x a day) | F | 26 | 3 days | 7/20/2006 | 4 | Shigella (food poisoning) | I was prescribed a 3-day round of Ciproflaxin to clear a severe infection of Shigella (food poisining). The Ciproflaxin worked rapidly. | The Ciproflaxin killed the Shigella but made way for another parasite to thrive. I am now taking flagyl for this secondary infection. | M | 46 | 3 days | 1/9/2006 |
