 1  UTI prevention/treatment I took Macrobid, Cipro and Bactrim over the course of 1 year for chronic UTI. As a result I developed severe joint, muscle, tendon and ligament pain and damage to my arms. Please if you are a UTI sufferer visit: www.squidoo.com/d-mannose It's a story of my personal battle with cystitis and how I have been infection free since last August thanks to d-mannose. I'm not selling anything or making a profit off the site I just want more people to know they don't have to suffer like I did and risk the horrendous side effects from antibiotics. D-mannose is a natural sugar that prevents E-coli bacteria from adhering to bladder walls and causing infection. Safe no side effects. Nothing short of a miracle. F 28

 1   Clinical depression, a constant pain in my legs, nausea. I agree with the guy who said let's have doctors who say this is safe take this stuff. This is an evil drug. Only a moron would say this is drug is safe to use except in a severe emergency, only a complete and utter immoral moron. M

 1  infection Extreme, EXTREME pain. I feel like I'm 80. I'm 20. This drug is not supposed to be used as care-free as stupid physicians use it. People blame the drug companies for being greedy, but a large part of the problem as well is stupid doctors who don't know when a drug is really supposed to be used and when it's not.

 1  UC Severe suicidal depression, seizures, dizziness, yellow skin, dark urine, bruises, a red rash on my face, I literally felt like I had been poisoned. Only an inept idiot of a doctor would give you this for UC. (It made my symptoms worse, besides the all the side effects.) Run, don't walk, if your doctor prescribes this poison. This is a VERY dangerous drug. Its side effects are potentially debilitating, especially when combined with prednisone.

 1  urinary tract infection anxiousness then hands got beat RED and extreme itching......a few hours later the soles of my feet got beet RED and extreme itching. This was after taking only ONE pill. I had taken Cipro in the past a never had any problem. I went on the internet to discover that recently the drug was being newly manufactured in India but the name of the mfg was the same as before.

 1   Today marks 4 YEARS since I lost my life to Cipro. I took just 12 pills over the course of six days for a suspected UTI and have been completely crippled ever since. I have now spent exactly 1,461 days "living" in bed, as I am no longer able to walk. I'd just turned 30 years old when I was poisoned. Today I'm 34, on disability (keep paying your taxes--I depend on you!) and am back living with my parents. Life as I once knew it is so far gone that I can barely even remember what it felt like to be alive. Every day for me is the exact same & it is both mentally and physically torturous. I'm amazed that I haven't killed myself. No words can begin to describe the HELL that Cipro is capable of unleashing on the human body. If you at all value your body, your health, your mobility, your independence & your quality of life: STAY FAR, FAR AWAY from Cipro and all other antibiotics in its class! They can and do cripple previously healthy individuals for life. My doctor conveniently omitted that fact when he prescribed me Cipro, and yours will too. The FDA is fully aware of what this drug is doing to people and yet they turn a blind eye. The criminals at Bayer Pharmaceuticals deserve death for what they are knowingly doing to the unsuspecting public with this poison. They are murderers.

 1  Prostatitis Post script - I have been off of Cipro for 1 month and Doxy for 3 weeks. Post PSA check found reduced level which was great. Still, I wouldn't take Cipro again given this experience. My normal sleep pattern is back. Thank God! M 51

 1  Parasitic bacterial infection I was initially misdiagnosed with a stomach virus and had to go back to the Doctor as I was extremely sick a week later. A second Doctor suggested that I may have a parasitic infection and prescribed CIPRO. After my second day, 4th pill, I started to feel tingling and burning sensations in both of my legs. I immediately stopped taking the pills and at this moment still feel weakness in both of my legs followed by occasional muscle spasms. I am praying that it won't get worse. Do not take this drug if it prescribed to you, even though it did get rid of my infection. I am scared and worried that my body has now been poisoned as it feels different than before and I am an athletic 40 year old man in great shape. Update: I have been doing research as of late to see if I could find anything to counter the painful effects of Cipro and started taking a magnesium supplement which seems to have considerably helped stop the twitching and general weakness in my legs. I am feeling close to 100% again but am still aware of the unknown and long term effects that seem to be associated with Cipro. M 40

 1   BEWARE of anyone claiming they have a cure for the horrific & often crippling/disabling side effects of this poisonous antibiotic. A cure does not exist. It's bad enough that we were poisoned for $$ in the first place, and then to have snake oil salesmen descend upon us once we've fallen ill, well that's just disgusting and disgraceful. F
