 1  Gastrointestinal problem Had a gastrointestinal problem for months, decided to do a consultation with an online doctor. Doctor prescribed me this and at first I have no idea what it is. Until I took one pill, and when I was about to sleep I felt a jolting sensation several times. I've never had any problems with meds before until this time. The next morning I decided (thankfully) to look this antibiotics up and found out about the horrible side effects that might occur, and I stopped taking it. Funny how something this dangerous is not really known for having dangerous side effects in my country. 2 days later I have a little bit of a trouble sleeping, and also my legs and hands feels a little bit sore. Alhamdulillah thanks to God I did not endure other terrifying side effects. DO NOT TAKE IT unless you really really really need to, or you're dying. I don't know what would happen to me if I continue to take this antibiotics for 7 days as prescribed by the doctor. Ask for a substitute antibiotics. Wishing that everyone who has been floxed, a speedy recovery. M 20 1 days

 1  UTI Sitting in the ER as I write this. No history of anxiety or panic attacks whatsoever. Woke up 6 hours after 2nd dose. Made a simple movement while sitting, and felt shortness of breath when inhaling. Thought it was odd and carried on. Five minutes later I urinated in the bathroom, and on the way out I started fainting. Vision narrowed, heart raced, felt cold, and numb. I sat on the floor and called 911. Two pills and I am done with this CIPRO. M 50 1 days
