| 1 | ear/gland pain | Do not take this medication. After 4 days I had severe burning in arms and spine. Could barely walk for the first week, or move. I felt poisoned like the worst mono/flu you could have at the same time. Tremors, all over twitches, panic, hot cold sensations, stabbing pains, neuropathy, eye floaters. Severe for 5 months. Still only 60-70 percent better 8 months later. | F | 35 | 4 days 500mg | 5/30/2013 | 1 | UTI | I have lupus so I wasn't sure at first if I was having the worst lupus flare-up ever or if it was the CIPRO. Thank God I came to this site! Depression, extreme weakness, severe joint pain, felt like something was sitting on my chest, mental "cloudiness," legs went out on me several times....Are these people crazy prescribing this poision??? Doctors and the drug companies??? I quit taking it just this morning and praying that the symptoms subside soon. I am very scared! | F | 42 | 4 days | 9/10/2006 | 1 | Urinary tract infection | I have never had anxiety. I'm the most laid back person in the world. I was given cipro for a urinary tract infection. Each day that i took the pill, I became more irritable and "out of it". After 4 days, 8 pills later, I suffered a serious anxiety attack (which I've never had). I had tremors, morbid thoughts of death, just to name a few. I went to the emergency room and off cipro. Now, 2 weeks later, I'm having an anxiety attack every day. The medical community is very irresponsible for even perscribing this drug for something like a UTI. It should be the very last line of defense. I'm seeking a lawyer to see what I can do. PLEASE ANYONE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE PERMANENT EFFECTS OF CIPRO! [email protected] | F | 23 | 4 days | 1/27/2006 | 1 | UTI | Severe diarrhea lasting two weeks, tendonitis biceps and achilles, partial rotator cuff tear, muscle spasms and twitching various muscle and joint pain. | I am a massage therapist but now i am struggling to work now. Doctors need to do research on the drugs that they are prescribing and not just believe what the pharmaceutical reps are saying. | F | 60 | 4 days 500 2X day | 10/3/2013 | 1 | UtI | Severe restlessness, anxiety, body aches, severe insomnia, sensitive skin, and headaches. Completely miserable and unable to do anything due to not feeling well | F | 29 | 4 days 500 | 6/25/2012 | 1 | Cellulitis | This medicine has caused pain in my joints & pains all over my body. General flu like sickness & muscle weakness. | Don't take unless life or death. Would never recommend it to anyone. | F | 64 | 4 days 500 2X day | 6/25/2012 | 1 | UTI | The first day, I experienced tiredness/fatigue. During the course of treatment I had terrible GERD and felt like I was choking on acid. Digestive problems included extreme gasiness, nausea, heartburn and abdominal pain. By the third night I was sleepless, unable to sleep at all (even after taking my usual sleeping pills), extremely anxious, pounding heart, racing thoughts, and quite possibly hallucinations. I experienced flashing lights when I closed my eyes. After reading about CNS toxicity and floroquinolone-induced mania I don't want to take this drug ever again. | I had never taken this drug before. It was prescribed after a failed course of antibiotic treatment with Septra. | F | 25 | 4 days 250 MG 2X day | 9/29/2012 | 1 | UTI | Extreme joint pain and weakness after taking it for four days. I needed an electric wheelchair for three months, as the tendons suddenly erroded in my fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles. I can walk again now, but it has taken 5 months of rest and extensive physio. | F | 39 | 4 days 500 | 11/24/2012 | 1 | UTI | Joint pain, tremors, heart palpitations, some anxiety. And got WORSE when I had what was suppose to be DECAF tea! DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING WITH CAFFEINE! I am kicking myself as I already knew the DANGERS of taking this medication. AND I WILL NEVER AGAIN TAKE IT! I am not taking any more of it! I don't need my dr to tell me to stop taking it. So if you have any SIDE EFFECT STOP TAKING IT right then and there... and call your dr right away. Or even a pharmacist. Of which I did and they told me to go see a doctor right away. DOES NOT HAVE TO BE YOUR PRIMARY! | THE FDA should really tweek this medication, and or BAN IT! | F | 37 | 4 days 500mg 2X day | 7/25/2012 | 1 | kidney infection | I started taking cipro a few days ago and i started to feel irritated on my vagina.. As the days went its starting to get worse.. It gave me a yeast infection.. Have to go back to the Dr to change meds because i didn't even get to finish the pills to finish treating my kidney infection and now get treated for this yeast infection.. I'm scared to get more side effects from this.. I feel so uncomfortable this is horrible | F | 25 | 4 days 500 | 5/23/2012 | 1 | Uti | 43 year old athletic male, soccer player since high school, and avid weight lifter. Felt like superman. I developed UTI symptoms and decided to take a safe medication. I had taken CIPRO 8 years ago and didn't recall any side effects. This time around took the antibiotic and went to Hell. I have experienced side effects that have damaged every organ...joint pains, stomach pains, cartilage destruction, neuropathic pains ( burning skin, pin and needles, and so forth), and on and on, worst side effects were depression that made me suicidal, anxiety that was from Hell, severe insomnia, eye pains, ringing in the ears, loss of short term memory, brain fog, unable to focus eyes, and tons more. The medical community is ignorant of the syndrome that Fluoroquinolones cause. Trust me if you haven't suffered this syndrome yet, you WILL if you continue taking it. The good news is after 7 1/2 months I have noticed some improvements. Avoid this family of antibiotics like the plague. If you haven't experienced any of its side effects, consider being given a second, a third, forth chance, but if you continue taking it especially the 500 mg and above tablets you WILL suffer. The 250 mg tablets may be below the toxic range and most people can tolerate them well, but the 500 mg tables will get you eventually! | M | 43 | 4 days 500 mg | 8/24/2012 | 1 | uti | sharp pains in long muscles. sparatic muscle spasms, my insides actually flutter. diagnosed with tachardia and bradicardia...off and on really weird .. just he general notion that my nervous system is messed up adn that can cause all kind of weird sensations. | everyone knows what this antibiotic is capable of, just like everyone else i too have suffered...for two years now ive been dealing with these issues and the symptoms are bizzare theirs no need to list them all it will do no good... i just feel sorry that the pharma companies mainly bayer is still mass poducing this med.... only because a few thousand people complain and it doesnt reach the maximum complaint level for them to have to take it off the shelves...its funny did u know that mostly women tale ciprofloxclin for uti infections because its more common in women and their also more likely to get the trash can diagnosis of fibromyalgia ...weird huh.. oh yea and the doctors will cover each others butts to...so dont think ur gonna walk in their and pronounce that this medication did this to you ..it takes a special doctor one whos been around for a while and perferably one who specializes in internal medicine....ive asked 2 pharmacist if this antibiotic could do this to me and his and her reply were any medication can cause this if you hve a allergic reaction.. what a cop out.... i finally went to a chiropracter and he knew the dangers of cipro but couldnt diagnose hat the cipro was the cause because he isnt a medical doctor.... oh and by the way i was 21 when i took this poison now im about to be 25 i have a wife and son and ive ruined their lives because of the effects of this drug..... some people say its criminal that pharma knows about these reports and continue manaf | M | 24 | 4 days 500 1X day | 5/11/2012 | 1 | UTI | Severe headache, irregular heartbeat, joint pain, insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, bruised easily all over my body, dizziness | F | 22 | 4 days | 6/4/2012 | 1 | sinus/ear infection | Severe tendon pain, burning in spine and arms, peripheral neuropathy, heart palpitations, panic attacks, tremors, twitches all over body, mono/flu feeling. Ten months out now and about 65% better with relapses sometimes. Please do not take this medication. And if you think you will be fine because you have before think again. This was the fourth time I was on it. | F | 35 | 4 days 500mg | 8/3/2013 | 1 | Uti | Plz do not take cipro if u have uti go get dmannose at health store works amazing .

Non of the doctors belive me what cipro did to me . | F | 24 | 4 days 150 | 1/31/2012 | 1 | UTI | Severe insomnia, burning/tingling sensations all over body, muscle/joint pain, dehydration, nerve pain and possible damage, depression, panic, tachycardia, dry eyes/mouth, cold hands/feet, numbness, weakness. | I am one month out from stopping my course early after 4 out of 7 prescribed days, and have not seen any decrease in symptoms - in fact, some of them are just getting worse. I'm hoping that I will recover eventually, but to all those reading this, don't take your chances! The risk is NOT worth it unless it's truly a matter of life or death. Believe me - these stories could be you. | F | 21 | 4 days 500mg 2X day | 2/3/2012 | 1 | Possible UTI | Muscle weakness, sharp pains going through my muscles, weakness and pain around joints, foot pain on the top and bottom, racing heart, back and shoulder aches, headaches, urge to urinate with no infection, pain in hands, pretty much all my muscles or joints hurt in some way. | F | 30 | 4 days 250 mg x2 | 1/28/2012 | 1 | UTI | I am a 60 yr old femal and was prescribed CIPRO for a uti that I didn't even know I had. My Dr. said my annual physical labs showed I had one. By the second day of taking 500mgs. twice a day. I began feeling light headed and a bit sick at my stomach. Today was to be my 4th day and I have chosen to stop. Mentally I am a mess and my arms, legs and neck ache. Yesteday, day 3 I felt so depressed and disoriented and didn't have the energy to do anything. I am having trouble sleeping and am short-winded. I felt perfectly fine when I went to the dr. last week for my annual checkup and now feel like I have been poisoned. I take no medications of any kind and have always been healthy. This drug is poison as far as I am concerned and should not be allowed to stay on the market. Reading other peoples stories has me worried that I might not get over these horrific symptoms. | F | 60 | 4 days 500 2X day | 2/7/2012 | 1 | Baecause of left ear infection | Have produced permanent damage to both of my ears in the form of extremely irritating sound of Tinnitus. | Never ever try CIPRO.
