 1  Post surgical anti-biotic Mental hallucinations. Uneasy feeling. Physical balance offset. After telling the Doc of these reactions, he discounted them as if to claim it was "just me". Oh contraire, I talked to a pharmacist who brought me the PDR insert which paralleled all my side effects. I would not recommend anyone to take this drug. I've encountered others who have had various negative experiences. This is the first drug, in my history, I upfront say I'm allergic to! F 50

 1  for Bronchitis My 38 year old daughter was given Cipro (Samples) for what the Dr. said she thought was bronchitis, No sputum culture was done -- but the Dr. said my daughter should feel much better in a few days after taking Cipro. Two days later our daughter died quite suddenly and unexpectedly. She had major kidney problems -- and it as only after her death we learned individuals with kidney or liver problems should NOT take Cipro -- or only if it is the I would NEVER recommend Cipro to anyone. Doctors seem to freely dispense F 74

 1  for a bladder infection I have hadhorrible cramping and diarrhea. Since I already have irritable bowl syndrome, this is a scary situation to be in, because I am not sure whether it is the Cipro or IBS causing the discomfort.Some information says a special kind of diarrhea can happen because of the drug. I hate this drug with a passion. I have had four bladder infections this past year, and my medical provider keeps pushing it on me, saying it is the best thing going. Yeah, right.... F 67

 1  sinus infection(s) immediate destruction of my body and mind with 1st dose I posted my devastating effects concerning quinolones on the levaquin "rate this drug". You can find more about the adverse reactions of quinolones at this website: http://www.fqresearch.org/ and even on www.cipro.com or www.levaquin.com . As for me, my immune system is breaking down, after 2 years of h** from the results of taking this drug AND THE DEGRADING EFFECTS OF DOCTORS WHO IGNORED MY CONSTANT COMPLAINTS AND ACTUALLY LAUGHED/SNICKERED IN MY FACE. That's what hurts the most, not the 4 types of cancer i'm now facing, death would be welcomed compared to the pain and humiliation that I felt w/every doctor I've spoken to (except the last one, Dr. William Odom, he KNOWS about quinolones, he was ready to begin detoxing my body of quinolones, when lymphoma cancer was recently dx'd and now waiting for the degree. 3 types of skin cancer, some already have been removed, but there are more. I am NOT looking for sympathy or pity. I just want the truth out there. Peace, Sandie Hu F 51

 1  Supposed UTI violent sudden unbearable headache, vomiting, fatigue, numbness, tingling hands and feet, arms and legs. Completely unable to function properly. Pain in chest so bad I thought I was having a heart attack. TAKE THIS OFF THE FDA APPROVED LIST. IT CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE AND ACCORDING TO THE SIDE EFFECTS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. F 59

 1  infection picked up in hospital increased pain, burning, dizziness, vomiting, fatigue, 'crawly' skin, nervousness. I began to feel ill within 20 minutes of taking a dose, and it just got worse. After thowing up a dose (and the food I took it with)I called the doctor. Very blandly they said, "yeah it's a little hard on the G.I. system but we hoped you could cope with it." Thanks for the warning!!! Haven't used antibiotics in years but I was pretty sure you're supposed to feel better, not considerably worse. They switched me to Bactrim. A little better, just incredible fatigue with that. I am glad this drug works for some people...it was extremely harsh (and expensive) and increased the pain, plus the awful side effects. Not impressed. F 40

 1   To the person below who asked if it's possible to diagnose Cipro toxicity in a lab analysis: No, it is not. Cipro toxicity evades all current forms of testing. This of course leads to sufferers being labeled as "crazy" or "hypochondriac" by their doctors. Is there any cure? No. There is no cure once you have been poisoned by Cipro. If you're lucky, time is the only escape. Lots and lots of time. Now perhaps you understand why there is such pessimism about this condition. It is hell on earth, and there is little to no help available. PS. There are no "experts" on Cipro toxicity other than actual sufferers. The medical community largely denies that Cipro even does this to people. They're all sucking on Big Pharma's teat and have financial incentives to turn a blind eye to this. We're on our own here.

 1   You know a drug is bad when it inspires a Hollywood movie (The East) about corporate greed & corruption that comes at the expense of an unsuspecting public. Unfortunately for us, the film is based on this real-life class of antibiotics that is reducing countless previously healthy & active individuals to cripples--often times for LIFE--while the FDA turns a blind eye. If you have been disabled by Cipro, it is important that you call Phil Blake, CEO of Bayer Healthcare, at (862) 404-5018. It's time he hears from his victims! Mr. Blake: There are consequences to your actions.
