| 3 | UTI | anxeity, not really bad but i couldn't sit still and felt like i drank a lot of coffee. bad joint pain in my sholder blades and spinal chord for a little, but mostly just slight abdominal pain. evertything was very barable, but annoying. i took my last cipro 20 hours ago, and im still feeling the stomach pain. | if you really need it, it will work, but i wouldnt reccoment it for small infections. if your allergic to sulfa (as i am) it will work for you. i was on 1000mg a day for 10 days. | F | 16 | 10 days | 8/27/2008 | 3 | UTI | Dry mouth; some light-headedness and dizziness; pressure in the head and mild headache off and on; much fatigue | I was miserable at times on Cipro but it did clear up the infection. | F | 41 | 10 days | 3/21/2009 | 3 | infection in toe ulcer | Fever. Lethargic. Increased appetite. Headaches | Want to just lay around . Can't focus on my tasks. | F | 72 | 10 days 1000MG | 3/8/2016 | 3 | thypoid | I got cure but after finished 10days*2 dosage, I has no strength in leg, it's affected my eye. | M | 32 | 10 days 500mg | 5/24/2016 | 3 | sinus infection | Rash , like at first I thought it was big bites,, but then turned into blisters that covered more and more areas in different places on body, thought it was poison ivy , maybe? but realized I have had same thing 3 times in the last year at same time as taking Cipro, guess I am allergic.. UGH! | F | 45 | 10 days 500 2X day | 7/31/2010 | 3 | uti | chills and waking up from sleep and bad scary dreams (usually I don't remember any dreams and I usually sleep throughout the whole night) | F | 55 | 10 days 2X day | 11/7/2010 | 3 | Bladder infection | I am a 126 lb. female active (hiking & cycling). No real side effects until Day 4. Then I began to experience EXTREME fatique (could barely get off the couch), abdomenal & low back pain. It felt like I had the flu. I elected to stop taking Cipro after the 1st dose on Day 5. I will say that while my bladder felt better about Day 3, the other days were hell. I believe that the dosage was just too high for me (looked at pdrhealth.com to see typical dosages). Of course it is a Holiday weekend so no way to reach my Dr. but I feel OK getting off of it as the typical dosage seems to be 250mg x 2/day x 3 days. | Seems to have done its job but made me feel sicker in the process. | F | 55 | 10 days 500 2X day | 9/5/2010 | 3 | Bacterial Infection | Very Bloated and intense stomach pain | Side effects were common to any other antibiotic. Cleared infection up quickly. Second time taking Cipro with same side effects but both times it took effect quickly and was well worth it. | F | 33 | 10 days 250 2X day | 3/5/2010 | 3 | UTI | Manic reaction, insomnia, headache. | I have my 3rd UTI in 4 months. My dr. put me on Cipro for 10 days. Today is only day 3. The first night I took the pill, I couldn't fall asleep. I normally have a drink in the evenings, but did not want to drink with the medication. I had a hard time falling asleep and thought it was due to not having a drink. However, I woke up at 5 AM the next morning (2 hours earlier than normal), and couldn't fall back asleep. I was manic all morning, doing laundry, organizing things, cooking, doing homework, etc. That night I felt very tired but could not fall asleep. I had a terrible headache that would not go away. I slept two hours from 11 to 1, and then again from 4:30-6:30. I still feel manic, and still have a headache. I am hoping this won't get worse. | F | 21 | 10 days 2X day | 2/26/2010 | 3 | uti | pain in side at kidney area, severe burning muscles in shoulders, back and hips. popping shoulder joints especially at night. these aches gradually went away after i was done taking the pills. | F | 32 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 3/22/2010 | 3 | SIBO | I am on day 3 of Cipro and so far the only side effects I've experienced is extreme depression and suicidal thoughts. I also am going through marital issues so that is contributing, but the Cipro makes my depression much worse. Other than that I feel ok. | F | 33 | 10 days 500 2X day | 7/22/2011 | 3 | Bronchitis | I am on day 5.5 of my 10 day dosage Dizzyness,shooting pain in back and legs (mainly random charlie horses), yeast infection, confusion, sleepyness and many more symptoms. | Doctor perscribed this because I am allergic to Penn. however this is the worst antibotic I have ever taken. I think I have been suckered into taking this once before a very long time ago and it is never happening again. This drug does well to get rid of some symptoms of the "bacteria" that may be causing the problem but with every other problem that arises I would rather have the original problem back. | F | 25 | 10 days 500 2X day | 10/12/2011 | 3 | UTI | Muscle/tendon pain and tenderness under rib cage, (anterior and posterior) and right side (serratus muscle?) pain. Foot and heel pain, pain in hip. | I was prescribed CIPRO for a UTI while on vacation, it did clear up the UTI however right after completing my course of treatment I thought I had pulled a muscle in my serratus muscle lifting weights. But then I started noticing muscle and joint pains in other areas of my body. After 6 weeks I am still having problems, especially under my rib cage. My husband hugged me the other day and it hurts! Very tender. I will never take this medication ever again. I was fine until I took this stuff. Wish I had taken Septra instead, I've never had a problem with that drug. | F | 54 | 10 days 250 2X day | 10/11/2011 | 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 | 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 | UTI | I am on the first day of this medication and I already feel nausea and fatigue. I slept over 10hours and am still tired and lightheaded. The last medication did not completely cure my UTI but had much better side-effects. I hope this kills the infection before it dills me. I will have to tough it out for another 9 days. | M | 56 | 10 days 500 2X day | 6/22/2013 | 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 | 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 |
