| 5 | bacterial intestinal infection | I had a major experience with die-off (Herxheimer reaction) in the first few days of taking it. It felt like my stomach and intestines were being stepped on by high heels. However, after the initial die off, things improved. After completing the drug, my health improved quite a bit. | This drug is one of the best things I have done in my battle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It wasn't fun, but the results were well worth it. | F | 33 | 10 days | 6/17/2007 | 5 | uti | I ask for cipro by name when prescribed antibiotics because I find cipro to be one of the few that doesnt give me side effects, including the womens most dreaded, yeast infection | F | 23 | 10 days | 7/22/2006 | 5 | UTI, Prostatitis | I feel a bit tired and some aches, but it cleared up my bacterial infection (UTI & bacterial prostatitis) almost immediately (major improvement after just 1 500mg dose). Prior to trying Cipro, I took Cephalexin and it was totally ineffective. | Worked for me! | M | 36 | 10 days | 6/23/2005 | 5 | UTI | No side effects | I take it for UTI's which I get all the time and I love this drug. It works quickly with no side effects!! | F | 32 | 10 days | 11/15/2006 | 5 | UTI | Not really any. Sometimes if I got up really fast and was active after resting for a period, I was a little hot, but that went away. | I don't believe half these comments on here about cipro being anything less than satisfactory. This is my 3rd or 4th UTI this year, and this stuff is definitely a step up from macrobid, which after 2 days off of those pills my infection came back. Cipro knocks the germ right out of you, so if you have recurring UTIs, I would definitely try it. Just drink lots of water to help flush out the bacteria. | F | 21 | 10 days | 12/13/2006 | 5 | Ear and Throat Infection | Some muscle pain. 1st day or two a little nausua, now that is gone. | I also take a Acidophilus capsule before Breakfast, this puts healthy bacteria back into my lower Intestineal track, so I don't get the runs. This will also help woman, (acidophilus)because this drug (cipro) seems to lend itself to yeast infections. A lot of yeast infections are an indication of high glucose levels, have a test. But will try to drink lots of water with this stuff, as that seems to help the muscle pain. Damn ears anyway, every year the same thing. | M | 55 | 10 days | 2/18/2007 | 5 | divirticulitis | I can't recall any | F | 81 | 10 days | 3/23/2005 | 5 | food poisining | slight dizziness,some restlessness | M | 21 | 10 days | 11/5/2003 | 5 | UTI | Do not let the negative comments freak you out like they did to me. I did my research and discovered that the "common" side effects listed for this drug are very rare: Nausea- occured in 5.2% of people tested, Diarrhea- 2.3%, vomiting- 2%, abdominal pain/discomfort- 1.7%, headache- 1.2%, restlessness- 1.1%, and rash- 1.1% After reading the comments on here I got freaked out and refused to take it. After my dotcor told me I was being ridiculous, I took it and was fine, no side effects. It does it's job and it is very rare that you will have any of the negative effects discussed here actually happen to you. | F | 25 | 10 days | 10/22/2007 | 5 | UTI | none. Almost didn't take this because of all the bad things people were saying about this drug. I had no problems with it at all. Glad I took it. | F | 48 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 10/27/2012 | 5 | home | has helped save me many times from severe prostate infections | M | 33 | 10 days 1000 | 10/14/2012 | 5 | E Coli. o157:h7 | Slight stomach cramping or maybe bloating causing mild irritation. Moister stools than I'd like, but that's probably due to the fact that cipro is a broad spectrum AB and kills everything. Yogurt helps. | This drug combined with the fluids I got at the hospital saved my life. | M | 21 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 8/24/2013 | 5 | Chronic epididymitis | 9 months of epididymitus, thought I had testicular cancer. First 10 day round of cipro -day 8, cured! Day 10, symptoms back. SECOND 10 day Cipro - all good, day 7 signifigant abdominal pain, kidneys/back/liver, stuck to it, day 10 last pill almost drove to emergency, felt like what I assume your liver failing would feel like. Day 21, first morning without Cipro, feel like a new man better than I've felt all year. Be damn sure you need to be taking Cipro before you do, the cure seems pretty hard on the body, but gave me my quality of life back thats all that matters. | M | 27 | 10 days 250 | 3/31/2012 | 5 | for ear infection | After 1 does I became nausea/wierd feeling in body/dry heaves. . | F | 52 | 10 days 500mg | 3/27/2012 | 4 | stomach/ intestinal inflection | Nothing major.. luckily..little anxiousness tiny bit of sleeplessness.. but it worked!! | M | 41 | 10 days 500 mg | 6/24/2013 | 4 | Recurrent UTI | Cipro has made me very drowsy, and had typical effects on my digestive track, as with any antibiotic; diarrhea, mild nausea, some loss of appetite, I suspect it will also leave me with a yeast infection (perk of being female). That being said, it provided quick relief for my second UTI in 3 months, and I'll take these typical antibiotic side effects over urine that feels like needles both in and out of my bladder any day. | Cipro gets a lot of bad press because it's a strong antibiotic. Yes, people experience side effects, yes the pamphlet lists a lot of negative side effects, but, as my mom says, legally, the pharmaceutical company has to list "every side effect has ever had, including a monk on a mountain in Tibet." | F | 23 | 10 days 500MG 2X day | 11/4/2012 | 4 | staph infection | none | I drank gatorade after going to the doctor and felt much better. The cipro didn't bother me- I went to school, played tennis... | F | 15 | 10 days | 7/19/2007 | 4 | Suspected epididymitis | None, other than some hypochondria suffered as a result of reading this board. | I finished a 10-day cycle about 10 days ago. I thought I had some slight stomach discomfort and some minor stool issues. And I also thought I felt some pain in my achilles tendon, but now that I'm done with it all I think my "symptoms" were fear-based as a result of reading too many warnings about Cipro! Final Verdict = No side effects for me | M | 41 | 10 days | 8/21/2007 | 4 | Typhoid infection | nothing Serious. A little tired. I took 500mg twice a day for 10 days | I don't think it is so bad | F | 29 | 10 days | 11/2/2001 | 4 | prostatitis | Night Sweats, insomnia, loss of appetite | Cured the prostatitis, wad a rough 10 days. | M | 46 | 10 days | 8/4/2005 |
