| 4 | UTI | It helped but the only thing I have heartburns after the medication, I just finished my last dosage yesterday but overall my UTI is gone! xoxo | F | 30 | 3 days 500 | 2/14/2013 | 4 | UTI | Medicine worked quickly but the side effects were scary. I had fatigue, shortness of breathe, heart palpatations, headache, and eye pain. Motrin and tylenol did not help. | Had to miss four days of work because the side effects made me barely functional. But it worked quickly and I had severe pain due to the UTI, and cipro eliminated that pain. | F | 45 | 3 days | 5/8/2006 | 3 | UTI | Floaters, blurred vision, headache, fatigue, muscle weakness | I have taken CIPRO in three day courses for the past 10 years (approx. 2-3 times per year) to treat UTIs. My UTI symptoms always improve within hours of taking the drug. Though I never made the correlation, I have had blurred and sometimes double vision for many years now, severe headaches, and muscle weakness and fatigue (I thought I might have MS for a while), and many eye floaters. My retinas are OK and my vision is 20/20, but the floaters have never resolved, and I still have a feelings of unexplained weakness (where I feel like I can't hold or grasp things or that my legs won't support me), headaches, and eye problems. I can't believe I took this drug approximately 20-25 times over the past 10 years. Most doctors have no clue how harmful it is. Take care of yourselves!! | F | 32 | 3 days 250mg 2X day | 9/10/2012 | 3 | Prostatitis | Anxiety, lightheadedness, dizziness, itching, tingling in face, feeling hot, eyes feel "buggy", extreme spacy/foggy/trance-like feeling, inner vibrations, etc. | I have recurring UTI's and have been on both Cipro and Levaquin before including the new Cipro "timed release" tablets. this time around I'm on day 3 of taking 500mg of Cipro twice daily and already the anxiety, extreme mental fog and all of the other symptoms are really beginning to hit me hard. I just hope I can last another 23 day on this stuff!!!. | M | 44 | 3 days | 3/13/2007 | 3 | UTI | Took 3 day course , couldn't take last pill dur to nausea , dizziness, shaking,thought it did not relate to drug, finished 2 weeks ago , still dry mouth, metallic taste and very sore tongue!!! | cleared up uti, but when will these side effects go away?? | F | 39 | 3 days | 10/27/2006 | 3 | UTI | Chills, Headache, Dizziness, Extreme joint and muscle aches/pain in shoulders, hands, hips to the point of not being able to extend arms to perform daily activities, to the point of not even wanting to move any part of my body. Ibuprofen and Tylenol with Codeine helped a little with the pain. | My pharmacist didn't see any correlation with my symptoms and Cipro, but after multiple recurrences of symptoms with taking cipro i notified my doctor who informed me that my symptoms were allergic/adverse reactions and i should stop taking it. I have had 4 UTI's the past year, and the 3rd & 4th times i had adverse reactions to Cipro. | F | 24 | 3 days | 2/25/2005 | 3 | Urinary tract infection | Severe anxiety, nervousness in stomach, panic attacks ....depressed, irritable! | I think its clearing u infection, kidneys and abdomen still sensitive. Was surprised at what bad write ups this drug has. | F | 26 | 3 days | 3/16/2007 | 3 | uti | watery eyes, extreme lethargy, moody | Seems like the side effects are worse the older you are. If I had 5 days to lay around in bed, I wouldn't have called the doctor! | F | 31 | 3 days | 9/10/2007 | 3 | UTI | Hypoglycemia | It's a quinolone and if you are diabetic, it will affect your glucose levels despite what a pharmacist will tell you. Mine dropped to about 30 and when I looked it up on the internet it was clear that all quinolones can affect blood glucose. The stupid pharmacist and printout CVS gave me was useless. | F | 54 | 3 days | 8/7/2007 | 3 | UTI | I have been taking Cipro for 2 days (finishing last two pills today). I have gained 8 pounds in those two days, I have a constant headache, trouble sleeping, severe bloating of stomach, face hands and feet. Night before last I had trouble sleeping and night sweats. My stomach is distended and constantly rumbles and I am constipated but fear taking fiber because I don't want to lessen the positive effects of the drug. | As long as the bloating and weight gain subside and the UTI is clear I will be ok with the side effects. I was on Bactrin last week until Tuesday when I was told that I had a strain of E.Coli that was resistant to Bactrin. I haven't noticed any pain during urination today but I will return to doctor Friday for a follow up urine test. | F | 39 | 3 days | 6/20/2007 | 3 | UTI | Chills, Nausea, Light-headed, Dry mouth | It took the full 3 days before I felt any noticeable relief from the UTI. Went back to the doctor and she stated that the UTI was completely cleared up. Still feel a small sense of urinary urgency though. Will wait and see if the symptoms return. | F | 30 | 3 days 250 mg 2X day | 7/17/2011 | 3 | UTI | On day three, I notice that I am experiencing some arm/underarm/breast pain/tenderness. It's not enough to freak me out just yet. Other than that, I have experienced no unusual side effects. My UTI has improved. | F | 45 | 3 days 250 2X day | 7/21/2010 | 3 | UTI | abdominal pain, stomach pain/gas, burning/tight chest pain, back pain, knee pain | When i first took this pill I experience severe abdominal pain( felt like i did 1000 sit ups), and somtach pain, it felt really tight and i could feel gas moving around in me but it wouldnt come out and didnt feel very hungry. and the abdoinal pain made me feel like i couldnt take full breaths. After taking my medication I was still having this pain for 5 days, then on the 5th day it moved up into my chest it felt really hot and tight this last until i went to bed but when I woke up again about an hour later the chest pain started happening again. Then later that night my lower back started hurting, alot, it feels really numb, tingly and painful, kind of like its "asleep" but with more pain and it wont wake up. I went to the hospital yesterday, got blood work, xrays and a Cat scan done, they couldnt find anything wrong with me never gave me pain killers or anything. Now Im still having this pain but luckily the chest pain is gone and my abs feel just a bit tender now, now nearly as bad as it was a few days ago before this back pain started. Please Dont ever take this PIll I think it majorly fucks up your body, and I think the doctors at the hospital say anything about it because theyre the ones who gave it to me and they dont want me to sue their asses. I really hope this pain goes away soon :( | F | 21 | 3 days 2X day | 4/6/2010 | 3 | UTI | stomach aches, yeast infection, severe diahrrea (sexy, i know), a tiny little rash on my abdomen that only shows when im out in the sun, with prolonged use: hallucinations, huge mood swings | ive been getting UTI's on a regular basis for the past 6 years. honestly, the only thing that prevents them is vitamin c and 8 glasses of water a day. if dr's ever prescribe me cipro, i've learned not to take it for more than 3 days and save the rest for next time. it's true, cipro kills ALL bacteria, good or bad (hence the yeast infections) so make sure to eat TONS of yogurt or drink KEFIR (good stuff!). i'll drink a bottle of KEFIR a day and the effects are not as harsh. but if you can get away with taking any other kinds of pills, do it! dr's wont approve of ginko baoloba but treat cipro like candy. | F | 24 | 3 days | 4/23/2009 | 3 | bladder infection | painful body rash that itches (looks and feels like a sunburn, even though I have not been in the sun at all), facial rash | I have taken Cipro repeatedly several times in the past, always for a bladder infection. It always cured me in 3-5 days, NO SYMPTOMS...until this time. I took benadryl to try and calm down the rashes. They are all over my torso and on one cheek of my face. Very painful. | F | 32 | 3 days | 9/18/2008 | 3 | UTI | dizziness, light headed-ness, stomach/abdominal pain/cramps, light headaches, nausea, paranoia, bloated, blurred vision | I was given Cipro instead of Sulfa because I had an severe allergic reaction to that medication after having UTI for the first time about a month ago. It did get rid of my UTI though. I am more concerned with the side effects (which I hope it's from CIPRO). After taking the first pill, a little later, I felt dizzy and sleepy. I felt fine after that. After taking all the doses, 2 days later, I woke up with horrible stomach pain/cramps...Especially above the belly button. About a day later, I am feeling recurrent abdominal/stomach pain..but more in the abdominal area. If it usually evident (hurts more) when I push down. I am concerned because I am having side effects AFTER taking all the doses. I was really worried until I came across this website when some people had abdominal pain too. I would rather have these side effects than something worse. I would also feel dizzy/light-headed once in a while. Sometimes, after I eat, I feel extremely bloated. | F | 17 | 3 days | 6/24/2008 | 3 | UTI | Rash across stomach and back. Some areas looked like large welts. I had taken this several times before with little reaction (some nausea, excessive thirst, and stomach cramps) but the most recent time I developed the skin reaction as well. | The rash appeared 2 or 3 days into taking the medication. Cleared the UTI up quickly (which was resistant to Macrobid and I am allergic to sulfas) but the rash took over 2 weeks to clear up after stopping the medicine. As it healed, I would get stabbing sensations everywhere the rash was. The sensation would be all over at random times and painful enough that I would yell out. | F | 29 | 3 days | 3/9/2009 | 3 | sinus/inner ear infections | I keep seeing white poodles everywhere. it started and I was sitting in my recliner petting a poodle. I wondered how it got in my house I thought, but it was very friendly. my girlfriend looked at me and asked what I was doing and her laughter turned to tears when I told her I thought I was petting a poodle which obviously I was hallucinating. Wow right, but the drug is curing my infection(s) so I guess it's a trade off. I'm really going to miss that poodle when I'm done taking this medication in 7 more days. | Hallucinations, strange dreams, hard neck, but hey I feel better. | M | 31 | 3 days | 1/9/2009 | 3 | UTI | Horrible nightmares, slight muscle achiness, fatigue | Seemed to work pretty well but the nightmares were so bad I didn't want to fall asleep. I recommend not taking this medicene too close to bedtime and to report any symptoms of reaction immediately. I will not be taking this again, the nightmares were just too much. | F | 32 | 3 days | 12/29/2008 | 3 | kidney infection and uti | I took cipro 1000 mg daily for 10 days for a severe kidney infection. Saved my life! But had temporary weird joint crackling. 4 months later took it again for a uti, 500 mg daily for 3 days. Cleared up the uti but this time I have mild nerve damage; tingling left hand. Its unknown if it will resolve itself. | F | 30 | 3 days 250 | 4/23/2014 |
