| 1 | UTI | Red face, ringing ears, anxiety, depression, lack of energy, throbbing head and neck. | Side effects did not show up immediately. Eight months later symptoms remain. | M | 50 | 10 days | 9/8/2008 | 1 | Bowel infection | Severe, full body, allergic reaction. All over redness and swelling...with extreme itch. Feelings of depression. | F | 66 | 10 days | 9/3/2008 | 1 | UTI | abdominal cramping, urgency to defecate, shaky hands, insomnia, nausea, discomfort lying down and sitting at times | After the last dose I returned to my internist to seek treatment for these symptoms that made me feel as bad as the initial UTI. He made me feel like it was in my head since a urinalysis showed that the infection was gone. He sent me back home and said that if I was still feeling bad in 4 days, he would refer me to a urologist. He obviously either didn't know about the side effects or didn't want to confirm them. | F | 60 | 10 days | 9/4/2008 | 1 | prostate | Horrible anxiety and panic attacks. Been 2 months now...will I ever get better? ?? I'm afraid I ruined my life forever! Please somebody reply and let me know if you have ever recovered. Or what has helped | M | 44 | 10 days 500 | 7/28/2015 | 1 | Crohns abscess | Wow, where do I start.. Chronic fatigue, no motivation to do anything! (I'm very active by the way) simple tasks like checking the mail and prepairing food requires conscious effort. I can sleep all the time. Just want to curl up in a ball. Head is always in a fog and I have no appetite. Weighed 173 on day one and 164 on day 9. I'm not eating as much due to the persistent nausea. Oh, and 9 days of diarrhea multiple times a day. I don't seem to have the joint pain that others have. I'm avoiding gluten and taking probiotics for my case. | It sucks, but it'll nuke your condition... Don't know what else, be prepared for some sort of side effect. Stopped taking today, I'm hoping I recover from side effects soon!! | M | 43 | 10 days Alot | 8/13/2015 | 1 | UTI | Exhaustion, depression, anxiety, insomnia, hypoglycemia, food allergies, autoimmune disorders, audio distortion, difficulty speaking, migraines, etc... | Unless you have a life or death emergency, do not ever touch this medicine. Doctors do not know the reality of the risks nor do they care. This is not like other medications. The side effects are in a completely different league, I've been bedridden for 7 years because of Cipro. It destroyed every area of my life. Even if you tolerated it before, that means nothing. This med destroys people by the thousands. | 37 | 10 days 500 mg | 10/13/2015 | 1 | UTI twice in 2 weeks | This drug should be reserved for life threatening emergencies only. The sensitivities I experienced are too numerous to mention, all nerve pain related. Burning, electric like shocks all over and muscle twitching. Resolved (mostly) in 3,months. I was lucky, others have had much worse symptoms and for much longer. Ask for something milder. Cipro is a bad, bad drug. | I have taken this before and did fine but I think I reached my tolerance threshold this time. I will never take any drugs in this family/class. Y | F | 57 | 10 days 500 2X day | 1/27/2016 | 1 | Epididymitis | I initially took Cipro Oral to treat Epididymitis and the Military Doc told me to take a 500 MG pill twice a day, so 1000 MG's a day for 10 whole days. I was very sick and did not know if it was from the Epididymitis or the effects of the Cipro on my body. This happened to me back in March of 2015, so just about eight months ago. I have had a very dry fuzzy tongue for 8 months, chest pain, which I was told I now have GERD, I feel fatigued, I always feel bloated, my muscles feel weak, and my eyes always burn, not to mention every tendon and joint in my body pops like crazy when I get out of bed in the morning. I just hope there is an end to all this suffering soon because I am normally a very healthy man, but I feel Cipro has taken that away from me. | Please do your research before you take this drug, it should be removed from the market. | M | 25 | 10 days 1000 MG | 10/30/2015 | 1 | uti | Dizziness, vomiting, chills, musles aches, hard to sleep, no energy | I tokk this for three days by day two things fever and everything else happened. Uti is gone but im still feeling side effects i stoppes taking cipro before ten day dose prescribed | 24 | 10 days 500mg | 5/13/2015 | 1 | sinus infection | Headaches, dizziness, pain in legs and back as well as left elbow and swelling in finger joints of both hands | ive taken this before no problems then this time bam! Instant headaches and dizziness on last day of taking this bad back and leg pain as well as elbow and hand swelling im sensitive to other anti biotics except keflex will gp back to that. This crap is poison! | F | 49 | 10 days 500mg | 2/3/2015 | 1 | Urinary tract Infection | permanent neuropathy in the nerves of my skin. Numbness, tingling, cold burning pain. Tinnitus and extreme sensitivity to sound (hyperacusis). Completely messed up my life. i took the drug eight years ago and these problems continue with the tinnitus and hyperacusis getting worse. | Stay away from all fluoroquinolone antibiotics - Cipro, Levaquin and Avelox. They are extremely strong and have left many, many people disabled. | F | 48 | 10 days 100 2X day | 1/24/2015 | 1 | suspected mild pneumonia | Peripheral nerve pain; joints ON FIRE; muscle weakness; tremoring; buzzing in leg; PAIN. | I was healthy and very active before being poisoned. F you Beyer and JAnd J | F | 45 | 10 days 500mg | 12/26/2014 | 1 | UTI | Joint pain, muscle pain, and my feet being unable to support weight without feeling like they were going to crumble apart. I went from being active to being crippled and barely able to walk. | I was prescribed CIPRO for 10 days, but only made it through 5 days because of the unbearable pain and being crippled. | F | 41 | 10 days 500MG 2X day | 1/13/2015 | 1 | misdiagnoses | fatigue, hearing loss , vision loss , tendonitus, 7 ruptured tendons, tinitus , brain fog , cognitive issues , dizziness, fainting , Dna damage , shortness of breath , unable to make decisions.... and many more | ruined my life...lost my businesses my wife and my health..have been on SSDI for 4 years now... DONT TAKE IT .... OR ANY OTHER FLOUROQUINOLONE !!!! | M | 55 | 10 days 500 | 12/1/2014 | 1 | UTI | If you are reading this and haven't taken it please stop !! - Heart palpitations - Numbness in hand - Weak knee - Tendonitis - Diarrhea and digestive | Please do not take this. It ruined my life ! I was an active 27 year old and took this for 10 days and my life has never been the same. I wake up with numb and swollen hand. It cuts off my circulation at my elbow. I have elbow pain and my knees are giving out. My major issue is I have digestive disorder and gas. I have diarrhea every day and my bowel movements have never been the same. My life is depressing and I have anxiety and doctors can't do anything. They won't even recognize its all because of this drug. | M | 28 | 10 days 500 | 8/16/2017 | 1 | UTI | Complete zap of energy!! Awful! Not sleepy--just had no energy to do basic routine. I stopped after 4 days - could not continue...it was prescribed for 10 days. | F | 52 | 10 days 500 mg 2X day | 4/22/2017 | 1 | Ut infection | Muscles weak, leg cramps, intense itching all over body & eyes too, breaking out with hive looking patches all over body, runny nose & no energy! My primary doctor said I should have been only prescribed 5 days initially, as Cipro works in body 2-3 weeks after last dose for infections! She (Primary Dr.) thinks the infection traveled to my bladder & maybe kidneys) & I'm Just so weak all over, blood in urine & fever gone after 3-4 days on Cipro initially! It has been 13 days since I took last dosage! | I think I may have to go to urgent care again Monday, as I do not feel well @ all! I think I need blood tests? | M | 77 | 10 days 500mg | 11/5/2017 | 1 | Ear infection | I took cipro in 2008 for an ear infection. After a few days I felt some old athletic tendon injuries oddly return. I also had discomfort on my temporal area (temporal tendon as it turns out) I thought nothing of it and continued. I had spasms in my temporal tendon and feet. Then 2 weeks after stopping the drug, in a matter of 12 hrs my entire body flushed into tendonitis. Arms, legs, everything was inflamed and not functional. I was unable to do simple tasks like wash dishes and soon I was unable to walk farther than across the room. It felt like a burning tearing sensation in my upper legs when walking. At 3 weeks I woke one morning to loud tinnitus. It diminished slightly over a week, but has been with me ever since. After three months being house bound, taking baths every day and losing my mind on the internet, the problems were mainly limited to my legs (and tinnitus and temporal area). I began to walk and within days of walking most of the burning sensation in my legs went away. F | Now, 10 years out, I'd say I am 90-95%. I still have tightness and discomfort in my right leg/knee, but it doesnt slow me down. I still have tinnitus, which goes through periods of being more or less intense. At times my temporal tendon bothers me. Physically I do whatever I want (climb mountains, trek, paddle) without discomfort. It's hard to know what other lingering effects I have and if they will affect me as I age. But I feel lucky to have largely resolved. I don't know what did it but it took months and years (depending on the symptom). I took lots of baths, some magnesium. 10 years ago there was much less information about it. I had doctors who dismissed me, and others who knew what I was dealing with, but had no remedy. I think it was mostly just time. Our bodies want to heal and function normally. I see from other people on this site, time has not helped them. This reaction affects people with similar symptoms, but widely varying degrees of intensity and duration. When I was in the thick of it, I drove myself into terrible fear and sadness reading the horror stories on the web. I am posting this 10-year update to remind others that if this is happening to you, it is very possible that you will come out of it largely unscathed. Clearly some do not, but I will tell you that some...maybe most, do. Be gentle on yourself. Make baby steps toward reclaiming your joys and body. | M | 40 | 10 days 750 2X day | 3/5/2018 | 1 | Skin infection | Racing heart was my most noticeable symptom and most worrisome, stop using it after 3 days when this started happening. muscle spams after taking it, when eating yogurt or consuming probiotic | Muscle spams only occurred when taking a pro biotic after I stopped taking cipro. I saw dr and she confirmed a small amount of ppl have this happen, so I could not eat yogurt or probiotic for months after. however my heart palpitations have continued for 3 yrs now after using it and first happening while on cipro. My dr tried to say the heart issue was from anxiety at the time, but now I am pushing for more answers and using a heart monitor. | F | 30 | 10 days 2X day | 11/11/2020 | 1 | uti | Central,autonomic and peripheral nerve damage. Crazy tight muscles and tendonitis. | Boy, I wish I would have found this site before I took these devil pills. These pills has destroyed my life. I'm still suffering years after taking them. I have taken every test possible and have seen many top doctors and they have come up with no answers to my damage except Cipro. I've taken at least 4-5 courses in my lifetime. The last one really did me in. | F | 47 | 10 days 10 pills | 6/14/2017 |
