| 1 | Presribed Leviquin for Flu and... | I was taken by ambulance to ER after fainting from flu and bronchitis and falling on face and breaking septum. Sent home after 3 hours. Given 2 leviquin just minutes before disharge. Fainted in car 3 to 4 minutes in ride home. My wife couldn't revive me and frantically rushed me back to ER. ER doc said fainting was due to a "Vagal" response? Kept one day in general recovery room. Given more Leviquin that day and a follow up 6 day doze. Sent home in afternoon that first day after that horrible night. First day home I had life and death feeling of weakness, body pain, fainting. Sent back to ER. Vitals looked okay. Sent back home. During next 5 days ( I am STILL into my sixth month of these symptoms ) I went into a nightmare of body pain, weakness, anxiety, almost suicidal insominia, loss of appetite,extreme sensitivity to cold, skin on arms itching like crazy, scalp too. Rashes popping up like excema,lost 20 lbs. arms, neck, legs extreme pain / weakness. Also weird wincing pai | Is Leviquin the same as Cipro or related very closely to it? Has anyone ever heard of side effects and symptoms like mine from taking Leviquin? Would appreicate ANY and ALL info about this possibility and if someone can possibly find that article in the Wall Street Journal and e-mail me a copy...IT MIGHT MAKE THE BIGGEST BREAK YET in this still undiagnosed medical nightmare and mystery to me and it appears every doctor I have seen. | M | 54 | 6 days | 5/17/2006 | 1 | bladder infection | Took Cipro for 6 days, on the three day got tendonitis in left wrist and hand, now 5 weeks later still have the tendonitis and now also have it in right hand. Had never had it before starting on the Cipro. Doctors can't not seem to get it to heal. Does any one know of a way to heal the tendonitis? | F | 50 | 6 days | 1/28/2006 | 1 | after a bladder operation | Had c diff for over 6 months. Felt like I would die. | F | 63 | 6 days 10mg 1X day | 2/14/2013 | 1 | TWELVE PILLS TAKEN IN OCTOBER OF 2009 COMPLETELY ENDED MY LIFE! DEATH TO BAYER!!! | You can read my story and learn more about the horrors of Cipro at: www.ciproispoison.com | M | 33 | 6 days 500 2X day | 1/10/2013 | 1 | precautionary so I didn't get bronc | wrist pain in elbow pain knee pain ankle pain pains in other places and weak legs extremely painful taking Norco and ibuprofen to help with pain that it doesn't last all the time it's been a little over a week and I am so sorry for everyone is suffering worse than I am | F | 58 | 6 days 500 2xa da | 12/9/2012 | 1 | UTI | Extreme Nausea | F | 20 | 6 days | 8/12/2012 | 1 | Bladder infection | Flu like symtoms times ten. Painful swollen ankles and feet. | After taking Cipro for 5 days I felt like I had the flu times ten. It was awful. Three months later still suffering with ankles that hurt so bad I can hardly walk. If I'm on them to long they swell. I'm beginning to think it's not going away. | F | 52 | 6 days 500 mg 2X day | 9/8/2011 | 1 | Prostatitis | Rectal bleeding and constant, MASSIVE panic attacks | Was supposed to take this drug for a month but six days was enough, simply have never had such constant, strong anxiety EVER in my life. Yep, rapid heartbeat, trembling ALL the time, even difficulty swallowing food for the first time in my life! Got to a point where I was having to lay down on the floor and was seriously thinking of getting myself sectioned because my brain was constantly full of the most horrible racing thoughts! Funnily enough, I quit yesterday (after eleven pills total) and today my anxiety level plummeted drastically. It was like getting home after taking a vacation in mental hell. Only plus point is that I never got any tendon issues. Yet. Fingers crossed I won't.....???? | M | 38 | 6 days 500mg 2X day | 10/25/2011 | 1 | UTI | COMPLETE AND UTTER DESTRUCTION OF MY ENTIRE BODY. I am now a cripple thanks to CIPRO! | I took Cipro for less than a week back in 2009. It wasn't until nearly two weeks AFTER I'd stopped that my body (which had always been in INCREDIBLE SHAPE) started to literally fall apart. Within 24 hours of it starting I could no longer walk. Two years later, I am still unable to walk. I live in bed 24/7/365. Job: GONE. Car: GONE. Credit: RUINED. Independence: GONE. Future: GONE. Mobility: GONE. You cannot even begin to imagine the HORRORS this poison has caused me, and continues to cause me every minute of every single day! Just because you've taken Cipro "successfully" before does NOT mean you can take it again safely! This stuff can turn on you at any time! POISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Warn everyone you know!!! Doctors never warned me this could happen to me, and now that it has they refuse to believe that Cipro was the cause! Bayer and the FDA should be sued into bankruptcy over this horrific life-destroying poison! | M | 32 | 6 days 500 2X day | 8/19/2011 | 1 | Urethritis | Nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, anxiety | The possibility of taking this medicine for 6 weeks was too much to bear especially feeling the way I did and knowing how difficult it would be to function. I tried taking the medication at different times during the day, but to no avail. My doctor agreed to discontinue the medication and start me on cranberry supplements 2 pills, 2x per day. I can't even imagine how I would be feeling if I were given the typical dosage of 500 mg 2x/day - OMG. | F | 55 | 6 days 250 mg 1X day | 7/26/2011 | 1 | Bronchotis | can't focus feeling of being dizzy, anxiety | 35 | 6 days 500 2X day | 5/27/2011 | 1 | infection | causes long term muscle tendon and central nervous sytem damage .years after drug stops. side effects wont appear till it is too late to stop the drug.more info at fqresearch.org/. DONT TAKE THIS DRUG UNLESS UR ABOUT TO DIE. | M | 20 | 6 days 500mg 2X day | 2/21/2011 | 1 | Completely CRIPPLED | Six months now since I took Cipro and I STILL CANNOT WALK, all tendons and joints in my body are SHOT. 30 years old and my life has been completely ripped away from me by the Bayer corporation. This is far worse than any nightmare...at least you wake up from nightmares. Cipro is 100% the stuff of the devil. If you're on it, you'd better vomit that poison back up and never take another pill (if you enjoy being able to walk, anyway). Words cannot describe what that sh*t has done--and continues to do--to my body. It is nothing short of HORRIFIC. We live in a sick world where things like this are legally allowed to happen to innocent people and we're allowed NO legal recourse whatsoever. I want to see heads roll at Bayer HQ for what they've done to me. ANOTHER LIFE DESTROYED | M | 30 | 6 days 500 2X day | 5/2/2010 | 1 | Strep throat | Ankle swelling, lumps on arms, very painful persistent muscle pains (mainly in arms, legs and neck), panic attacks, random bruising feelings, lumps on my knuckles and toes, ear ringing and pain. | I was given 14 500mg tablets of this crap about 10 months ago and I'm still feeling the effects. I took this for strep throat as I have allergy to penicillin, I took 8 of these tablets and stopped taking them when I suspected something was wrong with them. I woke up with a slight pain in each of my ankles, I figured I had tweaked them playing squash. I went to work that day and by the end of the day they had ballooned. It got to the point that I had shooting pains down both legs and was dragging myself along the floor to go to the toilet! It simply got worse, arms pains in my wrists, hurt to turn them in and out, my calves felt like they were falling off the bone, I had strong bruising feelings where I had not taken a knock. I took a month of work! I had sooo many blood tests and visits to various doctors all of who were clueless as to what was wrong with me. I had steroid shots which had no effect, I've tried kinesiology and acupuncture as well as having an ultrasound which showed swollen tendons all over my body and reduced blood flow. I stopped drinking milk as I read it can irritate arthritis and it seemed to help a little. I am still having problems with my wrists and legs although I can tiptoe for the first time in 10 months!!! Brilliant (sarcastic). It is a joke that this is being prescribed with no warning whatsoever. I'm trying to get in touch with the BBC as they are very good at getting this sort of knowledge out and about in the UK. | M | 28 | 6 days | 2/3/2010 | 1 | Kidney Infection | joint pain, swollen joints, swollen lymph nodes, dizzyness, fatigue, extreme thirst | After the 6th day of taking this medication, I began feeling joint pain in my hands, shoulders, toes, knees, hips (virtually everywhere). I stopped taking Cipro immediately after these symptoms began because I researched side effects online and found mine were common. I am a healthy active 34 year old and now I feel like an 80 year old with extreme arthritis all over. My joints shift and pop and it hurts to hold a pen! Basic tasks are a struggle. I have two young children and don't have time to deal with these effects. I agree with others that state that there are plenty of other antibiotics out there and this should be used as a LAST resort. This is only the 4th day after stopping the medication and I am going back to the Doctor today for testing. I will post updates of my progress. Feel free to email me with suggestions on dealing with this. | F | 34 | 6 days unsure 2X day | 6/28/2010 | 1 | UTI | Stiff neck, extreme fatigue, joint, muscle pain, headache, general malaise | Please DO NOT take this drug. I didn't make the connection immediately, but now I know what's causing pain in my elbow, fingers, calves, back, etc. My neck is extremely stiff. I am a very active, healthy 39 year old female and feel 90 at the moment. I've never experienced anything like this before. I'm concerned about the residual side effects. Why is this medication still being allowed to harm us? | F | 39 | 6 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/5/2010 | 1 | UTI | Debilitating full-body tendon damage, joint destruction, vision damage, tinnitus, skin changes, peripheral neuropathy, extreme muscle wasting, chronic fatigue...need I go on? | It's been nine months now and I'm still COMPLETELY disabled and unable to walk because of this toxic, good-for-nothing POISON! My entire life has been utterly destroyed. I wish nothing but death and destruction on Bayer Pharmaceuticals! | M | 30 | 6 days 500 2X day | 7/31/2010 | 1 | suspected gastroenteritis | extreme lethargy, loss of coordination, extreme fatigue, extreme dizziness | Cipro should be taken off the market for good. This is a strong, strong antibiotic. I wound up in the ER after sever abdominal pain, and the GI doctor prescribed Cipro. Never again. I slept for 12 hours on this, and woke up still feeling exhausted. I'm 19, and in college. I shouldn't be sleeping 12 hours and bedridden. This medicine is ridiculous. Finally called the GI and he told me to stop taking them. | F | 19 | 6.5 days 500 mg 2X day | 12/10/2010 | 1 | UTI | Pain in joints. Blurry vision. About 20 different side effects. I felt like my body was shutting down. | M | 49 | 6.5 days 500 2X day | 11/29/2013 | 5 | For a bacterial pnuemonia shot reac | I am afraid of the runs and she put on it for a reaction to bacterial pneumonia shot and four days of prenizone do I have to take it for seven days four times s day | F | 68 | 7 days 500 mg | 2/2/2014 |
