| 3 | Amoebic dysentry | During my 10 days cipro i've got fingers joints pain & morning stifness close to rheumatoid artheritis but it was'nt that Still i feel muscle fatigue after 4 months which is unexplained for me What i really need to know is it possible to diagnose cipro toxcity in the laboratory analysis? Or it depends on clinical symptoms? Is there any cure to stop that? When i search on internet Nothing appear except megative ideas and pessemist views We really need helpfull informations from experts | M | 30 | 10 days 500 | 8/8/2013 | 3 | intestinal infection | Doc thought I had diverticulitis, so gave me a 10-day course of Cipro (2 a day). Blood tests, etc. indicated I didn't have diverticulitis, but lower abdominal pain seemed to be going away, so he said continue the course. I was wondering why every muscle in my body seemed to be aching. I never take antibiotics, and I didn't put two and two together. After I finished the course, my ankles and feet became extremely painful - could barely walk in the morning. Then, 3 days ago, my ankles started swelling up. Ibuprofen seems to help with the pain, but the swelling in one foot/ankle is huge. Also, I just noticed a rash on my right ankle. Dang. After reading all of this, I'm pretty sure it's a reaction to the Cipro. Believe me....the next time this drug is offered, I will say NO! | F | 59 | 10 days | 6/28/2007 | 3 | E coli infection | I am into my 7th day of 500 mg twice/day for 10 days. The last two days I have felt completely depressed, anxious, and disconnected from my body. I came online in hope of finding other people with the same experience because I couldn't figure out why I had gotten so depressed. I also have neck pain and my vision feels blurred, which could be a product of the anxiety and feeling disconnected. | The medicine works, and my infection is clearing up, but I feel like I am losing my mind and have never been so depressed and unmotivated. | F | 22 | 10 days | 9/11/2007 | 3 | recurrent sinusitis | DEBILITATING FATIGUE! Stomach pain, rib cage pain, muscle fatigue, extreme drowsiness, weight gain. I have been so fatigued, light headed and dizzy, it has frightened me! | side effects began about 4 days after beginning the prescription, will only take this again if I have no other options, since I sing professionally, I had to wipe out the sinus infection, but for nonsinger, the infection is better than the cure with cipro!!! | F | 41 | 10 days | 9/12/2004 | 2 | prostatitis | aching muscular pain in lower back, groin, and thighs (tendinitis) | doctor confirmed that CIPRO can cause this kind of side effect | M | 45 | 10 days | 1/10/2002 | 2 | UTI | After taking last of 10 day course, I experienced a sciatic nerve pain on my left leg going from hip to foot. General aches and tendon pain. Joints and tendons seem very easily injured. Not much fun. Did not completely cure infection. | This occured AFTER course of treatment. Still in pain after a week. | M | 37 | 10 days | 1/10/2005 | 2 | possible UTI | Depression (temporary), IBS, Both Hamstring Pulled, C-diff which required 2nd Course of Antibiotics, Loss of Appetite, tinnitus, tendon soreness (feet) | I am sure that I am stating what a lot on this board have stated. Unless extreme peril or death is your only other option, then take the medication. Do not allow the doctor to prescribe medication without further tests for infection. Doc gave me prescription only as a result of freq. urination (which turned out to be anxiety driven). For you who have taken it, Its been a year later and most of the ADR's have subsided, and I have been able to maintain an active lifestyle, so you will get better over time. The IBS has remained but it is manageable. | M | 32 | 10 days | 8/16/2007 | 2 | abscess from ruptured appendix | The entire 10 days I took Cipro I had a sore stomach and was very nauseated with extreme belching at times. I felt like I had the stomach flu and could only stomach eating very few soft foods. | My physician thought the symptoms were from the flagyl I was also taking but when I quit that drug after 7 days the problems continued so it was either both or just the cipro. | F | 60 | 10 days | 9/11/2007 | 2 | Sinusitis | Sleeplessness and then when I did sleep - horrendous nightmares! At one point, thought I had died! | F | 42 | 10 days | 9/18/2004 | 2 | Bronchitis | extreme fatigue, anxiety, muscle pain, lack of energy, difficulty concentrating, nausea, headaches, stiff neck, weakness in legs, dry eyes, irritabililty, elevated s-got and s-gpt in blood tests, chest pain, muscle twitches | Took 500 mg two times per day for 10 days. After the first day, felt like it was improving the bronchitis, however after that, the side effects took over everything else, especially the fatigue. | M | 43 | 10 days | 4/20/2007 | 2 | Emergency Appendectomy Recovery | Ongoing random muscle twitches affecting my entire body...mostly at rest or when not in motion. Extremely aggravating and scary to me. | I had no idea this drug could cause something like this weeks after stopping use but it's the only thing that makes sense since I'm a very healthy 28 year old woman with NO history of this. | F | 28 | 10 days 2X day | 7/21/2012 | 2 | ischemic colitis | Dizziness, hypoglycemia, fatigue, trouble concentrating, chills/hot flashes, nausea, shakiness/tremors, rapid heartbeat, nightmares, trouble sleeping, general anxiety. | I was given this in the hospital as an infection preventative for acute colitis. I asked dr repeatedly to change prescription and he would not. It did keep me from having intestinal complications, I guess, and it cleared up my sinus infection, but I will not take this again - the side effects too extreme for me. | F | 39 | 10 days | 3/18/2006 | 2 | Prostitis | Prerscribed 250mg twice a day.After 10 days started to get extreme pain in wrists ,fingers,and most other joints.Doctor stated he was surprised.After reading all these similar cases,now know it was the cipro causing the pain.Faded after 3 days of stopping.Then tried Trimethoprim sadly didn't.work for me.However stats says it works about 40% of time .Much less that Cipro but no side effects for me.Suggest extreme caution before deciding on cipro. | Side effect for me..extreme joint pain even worse than Prostitis. | M | 43 | 10 days | 3/23/2006 | 2 | Prostatitis | I have never had any joint problem with a knee. Two days after finishing my 10 day treatment, I have minor stiffness and loss of flexibility in my left knee. | M | 70 | 10 days 750 1X day | 8/21/2010 Patient History | 2 | Sinus infection | Sleeplessness, anxiety, heart racing, heart palpitations (heavy beating), weakness, mild headaches, paranoia, light tingling in fingers & toes, mild earache in right ear, random muscle twitching at random locations on my body | I was prescribed 2 pills a day for 10 days. I stopped on day 9 because I just couldn't deal with the side effects any more. What's worse, I've been off of them now for 8 days and I'm still experiencing side effects. Apparently it takes this stuff a while to get out of your system. The side effects for me come & go, but I wish they would just GO! I'm never taking this stuff again. It did help clear up my sinus infection, but the side effects just plain suck. | M | 33 | 10 days unsure 2X day | 7/9/2010 | 2 | Diverticulitis | I experienced severe pain in my left hip area along with a burning pain and tightness of my achilis tendon. Then I noticed a feeling of heat in my ankle. | Since Diverticulitis is a condition that flares up repeatedly, I have been on Cipro several times before. I have also suffered with tendonitis, but I never tied the two together. Sadly, neither did my doctor. I kept trying to figure out what I was doing that caused the tendonitis to act up, thinking it was the shoe I was wearing or my activities. I went for physical therapy and injections of cortisone. It just kept coming back. Now, after taking Cipro for just 3 days, I experienced severe pain in my left hip, and then the soreness in the tendons. A family member did some research and told me that this could be caused by the Cipro. I called my Doctor and he told me to reduce the dose to once daily rather than twice. After reading the notes posted on this web site, I will stop the Cipro completely and seek an alternate medication. | F | 58 | 10 days 500 2X day | 9/2/2010 | 2 | Lobular Pneumonia | M | 32 | 10 days 500 2X day | 4/25/2011 Patient History | 2 | UTI and Sinus Infection | I am on day 8 of 10 and I have been super tired, dizzy, and feeling generally very "spaced out" like I am floating almost. I have also had dry mouth and blurred vision, mainly between about 3-6 pm. I have had headaches and then woke up on day 6 with a very sore, red lump under my skin between my thumb and pointer finger. Found out that this is also a rare side effect of cipro. I have never taken cipro before and won't be taking it again. I have never had such a weird reaction to an antibiotic before. | F | 28 | 10 days 500 2X day | 10/6/2011 | 2 | Infection in body wbc 15000 | Cold hands and feet, tingling in arms, and shoulder, hip, neck, knee, wrist pain off and on. Headaches. Eyes feel kinda burnin maybe glaze. Week, tired, depressed, anxiety | I do not like this med tried to call Dr about symptoms haven't got a call back. Don't recommend | F | 25 | 10 days 500mg 2x | 5/5/2017 | 2 | Sinus infection | Very sleepy and some itching | Taking it for a sinus infection that I have had for about a month now and every time I take my dose, it knocks me out within 30 minutes of taking the pill. Then I feel paralyzed when trying to wake up. I feel like I have taken something for pain. | F | 38 | 10 days 2X day | 11/19/2016 |
