However, was severely fatigued and weak with tingling, numbness and burning in extremeties. Woke me out of a dead sleep with my legs feeling like they were on fire. Was very anxious while on this antibiotic so I didn't sleep well to begin with. Caused hypoglycemia. This drug replaced my horrible pain from the UTI with horrible side effects. Stopped taking this after only four days. Will never take this medicine again! | F | 39 | 10 days 500 MG 2X day | 8/5/2014 | 1 | bacterial overgrowth in digestive t | Neuralgic pain in joints, sensitivity to light, depression, tendonitis in knees, elbows, hip flexor(still an issue 5 months later), right side of face swollen and painful, sharp chest pain, slowly subsiding after 5 months!!! I am a healthy, fit, woman, this drug made me feel like I had a disease. It is poison. Anything with a name that ends with CIDE means it kills. This should NOT be given to anyone.!! | F | 54 | 10 days 250 x2 day | 7/16/2014 | 1 | Kidney infection | Yes, The Cipro appears to be clearing up my Kidney Infection. With it came many side effects. The first day I took it I got very sharp pains in my lower abdomen that were so bad I curled up in a ball on the floor for a half hour. I have never felt pain that bad before. When the pain subsided I got up and walked to the kitchen and instantly got light headed. Instead of getting a drink, I ended up heading for the couch. On my way there I literally felt drunk... I couldn't walk straight and everything was starting to go black. Just as I got to the couch my lower lip got extremely tingly and I blacked out. Days 2, 3, and 4 I had pain in my hands, arms, legs, feet, and hips. I had chest pain and was short of breath. My mind was in a fog. I couldn't think, couldn't concentrate. Headache. I felt depressed. Day 5 I had that sharp pain in my lower abdomen again.. This time I was curled up on the couch for an hour before it got better. I literally thought I was dying. | I've been doing some research online for home remedies. I came across one that said to take a shot of Apple Cider Vinegar 3 times a day. They claim that it's good for getting rid of Bladder and Kidney infections. So I started this yesterday...Not only could this be helping my infection, But all my side effects seem to have up and disappeared. LOL... But it did burn going down the first 2 times :) So be ready! | F | 29 | 10 days | 1/16/2010 | 1 | cipro | Who would EVER think I've taken this and now it is thinking perfect sense. I have had UTI's on and off from May 30th 2013 to current December 2013. Occurrence DaVinci robotic surgery for hysterectomy due to cancer. I have had more urinary infections then I can imagine tomorrow I go for a MRI with contrast. I'm going to bring this up to my doctor and find out what's going on. I am appalled on what I've been reading. I get muscle spasms starting at my feet going at my legs and been thinking it was from an injury years ago but as I look on to the current it's been getting worse since I've been on antibiotics. I've never taken any , therapy or radiationas the cancer doctor stated they got it. I was overdose in the hospital 3 times I have my medical records. That's pretty sickening my name put somebody else drugs in your veins and then write stupid report that they had to inject me as I was afraid to do it myself. I was very aware I just could not live I was so out of it. So they figure they can counter act and write a stupid report that I feared doing it so they did it for me. If I would have been able to get up and out of the bed I would have ran their necks. Back to the point of cipro. It is a disgusting situation that I am now going to look into. I got the information off of youtube from a man who stated that cipro has almost killed him. I am afraid to take most antibiotics I do take probiotics 85 billion per pill I make sure I take them 2 per day at the same time. I have lost | F | 54 | 10 days 100 mg | 12/16/2013 | 1 | Preventive measure after a colonosc | Achilles tendon torn, all tendons& joints damaged,frozen shoulder,rash,rapid heart rate,COPD,fainting,dizzy,brain fog,tinnitus,migraines,blurry& double vision,retina detachment,severe insomnia,memory loss,tremors in arms,vomiting,C different,MSG,recurring UTI,blood in urine& feces,fibromyalgia,chronic fatigue,renal impairment,liver impairment,hernia pushing through diaphragm into heart,enlarged & distended bladder,on&on...Fluroquinolones are POISON & MUST be taken off market! It's now 12 years since being given Cipro as preventive measure,no culture proving there was infection. I was forced to quit working as the FQ toxicity has caused horrific damage. I no longer am able to drive. Am unable to walk,just shuffle inside home. I have been a shut-in,homebound for several years. These POISONS (FQs) are killers! Bayer & J&J are criminals. The injured must receive necessary and just compensation swiftly. Thousands upon thousands of people have had their world | F | 62 | 10 days 750MG 2X day | 9/25/2013 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Psychosis. Derealization. Depersonalization. General unwell feeling. Headaches. I am a medical professional and never experienced such scary symptoms in my life. AVOID. | M | 33 | 10 days | 2/4/2014 | 1 | UTI | I am absolutely overwhelmed with the onset of pain in the following joints: elbows, wrists, shoulders, knees & ankles - especially the left Achilles Tendon. I have pain and fatigue in my biceps, triceps, forearms, shoulders and back. I am experiencing shooting nerve pain through 1/2 of my right hand, as well as both forearms and right thigh. I am athletic and normally physically fit, however I am exhausted and debilitated by the simplest of activities. | Absolutely horrified about this antibiotic, especially after doing intensive research over the past several weeks. I will never allow myself to be put on this again and will do what I can to keep others from suffering also! | F | 42 | 10 days 500 2X day | 1/17/2014 | 1 | UTI | Tinnitus(ear-ringing),Hyperacusis,Insomnia,Tendon & muscle pain,feelings of death & doom,hallucinations,it goes on & on & on..... | Its been over 2 years since I took the evil poison Cipro , feel free to contact me if you need direction & help explaining whats going on , its the nightmare that keeps continuing..... | M | 47 | 10 days | 11/9/2009 | 1 | Sinus Infection w possible UTI infe | Within hours of 1 dose 500mg, severe leg cramps and stiffness. Stiffness in the calves, hamstrings, and hip flexers. Worse than the flu body aches that gave me the sinus infection. Stopping medicine and have a call into my doctor. | I've taken it before about 14 years ago for a UTI and did not suffer any ill effects that I recall. | F | 34 | 10 days | 10/27/2009 | 1 | ear infection | numbness in legs and arms, headaches, dizzyness, shakiness, sweaty palms, knee pain, thigh pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, insomnia, fatigue, blurred vision, throbbing veins, diarrhea | I'm still trying to decide if i'm goign to go back to the doctor. From what I'm reading, its probably no use. The first day i felt side effects was the day after finished taking the drug. It felt like i was having a stroke, half of my body was numb. From there my arms and legs were constantly numb and i couldn't sleep and i was constantly alternating between headaches and dizzyness. After reading boards like this, i started taking a probiotic and a omega-3 pill. The probiotic was to help rebuild the positive cells i'm sure Cipro killed and has helped with the diarrhea. The omega-3 oil has helped reduce the numbness. I don't know what's going to help stop the shaking or dizzyness/blurred vision/sweaty palms i'm still dealing with. If you have a clue on how to get this awful drug completely out of my system, please email me. BTW, its been about a month since i stopped taking the drug and I've just been able to get back into my gym routine. I was perfectly healthy before the ear infection and worked out about 4-5 times a week on average. | M | 24 | 10 days | 11/5/2009 | 1 | possible uti | See comments | This is a request to anyone who has made progress in recovering from these quinolones. LET US KNOW ABOUT IT!!! We sure could use the hope that maybe we, too, will get better. So if you have overcome a neuropathy or a muscle/joint pain issue, (even to a degree) dont just leave the board. Tell us. Thanks | M | 58 | 10 days | 11/4/2009 | 1 | UTI | I'm commenting for my father who took this. Before the infection, he was mentally sharp. Now very demented. Not sure if this was the direct cause, but I doubt the infection did this. | Many drugs (artificial chemicals) have severe adverse effects, some permanant. I personally prefer Eastern holistic medical approaches over the more profit oriented Western approach (which often leaves hapless victims in it's wake). The system is stacked, so it's best to be very wary. | M | 76 | 10 days | 11/29/2009 | 1 | possible uti | Stiff neck, horseness, hip pain, joint pain, muscle aches, low back pain, upper arm pain, foot pain. | Most of my worst side effects began 3 or 4 weeks after I stopped taking this drug. And they are not getting better. To top it off, the test for a uti came back negative and when I asked, the doctor's assistant told me to continue to finish the course. So I did. Not too smart of me, but I never imagined this would be the outcome of antibiotics. | M | 58 | 10 days | 9/15/2009 | 1 | Minor UTI | Insomnea,Headaches,tinnitus(ear-ring)hyperacusi(sound sensitivity)Torn rotator cuff(shoulder)Plantar Fascias(feet)eye issue,stomach issues....the list goes on & on with Cipro....WAS A HEALTHY 47 YEAR OLD , NOW A BROKEN DOWN CRIPPLED 49 YEAR OLD MAN - READ THE BLACK BOX WARNING FOR THIS DRUG !! | Its been 2 years since I took this poison and almost died , yet it keeps being sold and crippled people keep showing up here and all the Fluoroquinolone sites . THIS IS A LAST RESORT DRUG -YOU MAKE SURE YOUR REALLY SICK OR DYING !! | M | 49 | 10 days | 7/30/2009 | 1 | unspecified UTI | tendon rupture. permanent damage to tendons, muscles, nerves of both legs and ankles | permanent damage to tendons and muscles of calves and ankles | M | 49 | 10 days | 2/9/2008 | 1 | Kidney Infection from a stone | Tingling fingers,nightmares.tendinitis in right shoulder,joint aches all over body,nervousness,shaking,starting to get depression from all of this. I took cipro in 9/08 for a week and 10/08 for 3 days, that is when this nightmare started and I quit taking cipro. | This drug is horrible why are they giving it to us? I wake up every day hoping to have this all go away and it has not. I don't know where to turn to. Do any doctors in the Chicago or NW Indiana area treat this? | F | 48 | 10 days | 11/9/2008 | 1 | Diverticulitis | While taking Cipro I experienced Tingling, Numbness, Muscle Tremors, Extreme Anxiety, Pulsations in all limbs, Sore joints, very sore tendons, insomnia. | I took this drug 12 months ago and still have several symptoms today. Several blood tests and exams in the past year, no findings. I have found my diet affects the symptoms, some dairy, chicken, steak, even tuna can induce symptoms lasting from days to weeks. I have started taking Omega supplment and B12 daily which have greatly reduced the severity and frequency of symptoms. I have also become hyper sensitive of all antibiotics and toxinz and have mild side effects as since Cipro. | M | 32 | 10 days | 4/16/2008 | 1 | slight case of diverticulitis | lightheaded and dizzy, nausea, snapping of tendons. still have them after five days off medication. | How could my doctor give this to me? Not only did the medication did the above, but also aggrevated my back and neck as well. I was in a car accident about a year and a half ago and went thru physical therapy. My neck and back were OK for about a year until I started taking cipro. I hope these symptoms are temporary. I can not afford to be a cripple. Almost everytime I walk or move my fingers, I hear something snap. It's bad enough that I am going thru perimenopause (hot flashes, migraines, etc.). The medical profession should be shot, tarred and feathered!!!!!! I am in the process to find a website regarding detoxing my body from this poison. Had I known that there were lawsuits against Bayer, I would never had taken this poison. | F | 51 | 10 days | 4/17/2008 |
