| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CIPRO | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Bladder infection | Light headed, cotton mouth, thrush, weak legs, crazy dreams. | Although these side affects happened, my infection cleared up. | F | 36 | 7 days 500 MG | 6/25/2015 | 4 | For uti | Dizxiness. Balance problems. | F | 54 | 7 days 500mg.each | 4/16/2015 | 4 | For ear and sinus infection | Feel like I have the flu bone pain for about two hours after taking pill heart race a little nothing I can't handle... And like somewhat electrical shock to my brain a little then it goes away after awhile | So far it's helping me a little only Ben on it for two days. | F | 26 | 7 days 500mg | 11/24/2015 | 4 | Kidney infection | I had severe urinary complications. Doc gave me the meds, took it that afternoon and felt very nauseaus and had runny stool. The second day I still had runny stools, and bad anxiety and fatigue. THE EFFECTS OF THE UTI ARE JUST AS BAD, PERHAPS SOME OF YOU FELT THE NASTY EFFECTS OF YOUR INFECTION FROM THE GROSS BACTERIA. | I dislike meds, but am quite grateful that my trips to the toilet every 30 seconds to pass a drop of urine in agony is over now. People have really exaggerated on this commentary. Sounds as if they took the leaflet and copied all the side effects. | F | 37 | 7 days 1000mg | 3/23/2016 | 4 | Complicated UTI | Increased anxiety, feeling of weakness, unable to concentrate and very tired but it did help after cefuroxime 500 mg BID for a week before this didn't. | I had a urethral abscess which I drained but developed a bad infection which spread out to the bladder. Imagine your nether parts swollen, your bladder full yet unable to urinate! It's the worst situation ever! I was on cefuroxime 500 mg/BID which I knew didn't work. What's wrong with Dr.s nowadays, I had to insist on a different ATB and thank God Cipro did the job! By day 2 I was able to pee again and the pain subsided a great deal... | F | 40 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 4/17/2016 | 4 | UTI/Kidney Infection | The only problems I really had were a stiff neck, nightsweats, and a little confusion. Light intolerance too. | It cured my infection real quick which was a relief. I was on 500mg twice a day for 7 days and only had minor problems. I'm sure some people have a sensitivity to it but it was in no way a nightmare drug for me. Mind you I didn't like the side effects but I'd much rather have that than the horrible pain of a kidney infection. The power of suggestion is very strong for some. | F | 22 | 7 days | 3/9/2009 | 4 | kidney infection | 1 week after finishing 7 days of 500mg Cipro per day, I am left with a metallic taste in my mouth - nothing tastes right. I am quite depressed( more than the usual depression caused by report card writing - I am a teacher) and I ache in my legs and feet/feel swollen in hands and feet (although I have osteoarthristis, so it is hard to know what is causing it). I also have tenderness in my lower abdomen. | I had taken a week's course of another fluoroquinolone but it didn't work, so my GP switched me to this. It took a week for the symptoms to subside. I wish I had known all of the severity of the side effects, and their longevity. Are they really irreversible? That's even more depressing. I am going back to my GP. | F | 60 | 7 days | 5/24/2009 | 4 | UTI | Like others...were worried about stomach upset or side effects, but thank God really no problem at all except for some back achy pain or tiredness, but really no problems | F | 50 | 7 days | 5/30/2009 | 4 | DIVITICULITIS | Did not experience any side effects. It stopped the pain within 4 days | M | 54 | 7 days | 12/24/2007 | 4 | suspected prostate infection | Mild, like any other antibiotic. Slight fatigue. | It MAY seem like there are a lot of Cipro complaints. However when you consider that this antibiotic is prescribed like 15 million times per year, in the US alone, the percentage of complaints vs the amount of times prescribed is VERY small. | M | 40 | 7 days 500 2X day | 11/4/2014 | 4 | recurrent UTI's | negative thoughts, irritability, loose stools (not diarrhea), fatigue, strange/scary dreams, frequent and urgent need to urinate | It helps with the UTI's | F | 24 | 7 days | 5/18/2006 | 4 | UTI | it seems like after I take it, I seem to go to the bathroom ALOT(peeing) or it could just be from drinking so much water after taking it. I'm not sure. I haven't experienced any of the other symptoms that people talk about on here. | I've been using CIPRO for my UTI's since I was like 18 years old. And it's always helped me. The key that I have found is what everyone is saying...that you need to make sure that you drink TONS OF WATER!!! Not to mention, if you have the UTI, TONS OF CRANBERRY JUICE! I've done alot of research on this subject and have found that Cranberry juice or Blueberry Juice is supposed to ward off any urinary infections. I haven't tried the Blueberry juice yet. I have to agree that I think those who have commented on here that the drug is "poison" are definitely exaggerating. Maybe it's your CONDITION that's the problem, NOT the drug? | F | 40 | 7 days | 9/19/2007 | 4 | bladder/kidney infection | ankle discomfort, neck pain, headaches, back pain, tinnitus, weakness and trouble walking, fatigue, anxiety, nervousness, nausea | this medicine did in fact rid me of a very nasty bacterial infection but i did experience a lot of side effects that were very scary at the time and started almost immediately after first dose. it's been two days since i've finished my course and i'm still feeling quite tired and weak with some back discomfort. my ankle no longer hurts, the headaches are gone as is the anxiety and ringing in my ears. i won't take it again, ever... unless my life depends on it. | F | 30 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 4/10/2013 | 4 | UTI - Kidney Infection | Headache, backache which I contributed to the kidney infection, slight numbness in extremeties, chills, fever, and lack of energy. | I have taken Cipro post op for my appendectomy and there were no side effects at that time. Taking it more recently for my kidney infection, I have experienced side effects but I believe part of what I am experiencing is the antibiotic doing it's job and killing off the bacteria. I think many of those who have commented here are exaggerating the severity of their symptoms. While all antibiotics have side effects, it sounds like Cipro has more than others. | F | 37 | 7 days | 6/22/2006 | 4 | UTI | Horrible dizzyness and nausea, nightmares, restlessness, depression, dry mouth, tired, tingling legs, stiff muscles...I feel weird within 10 minutes of taking this medicine and it lasts all day. | I have been taking this medicine for 2 days and the pain is getting better already. Hopefully by tomorrow the pain will be totally gone. | F | 27 | 7 days | 7/7/2006 | 4 | sinus infection | insomnia/difficulty falling asleep; itchy arms at night; dry mouth at night. I was taking this along with Tussionex, which usually knocks me out, so I was VERY surprised to not be able to fall asleep for 1+ hours after getting bed feeling tired. | I have seasonal allergies and get sinus infections 2-3 times per year. I finally "graduated" to Cipro. It was VERY effective in clearing the infection - I felt much better within 48 hours. But the insomnia persisted until I finished the 7 day course. It was esp. annoying since I hadn't been sleeping well due to drainage for 2 weeks! | F | 37 | 7 days | 4/6/2007 | 4 | UTI | Abdominal cramps and nausea | It's an amazing drug! It cleared up my UTI and my Upper Respiratory Infection at the same time. | F | 22 | 7 days | 1/26/2005 | 4 | Urinary Tract/Kidney Infection | Fatigue, tachycardia, lightheadedness, and minor shortness of breath | This med did cause me to experience some annoying side effects, but I'm on day 5 and it is clearing up my infection. My terrible kidney pain is now gone. So, to me, it was well worth the side effects. | F | 25 | 7 days | 4/20/2005 | 4 | bone infection | diarrhea | F | 35 | 7 days 500 2X day | 8/28/2010 | 4 | Food Poisoning-Bacterial Infection | Some dizziness while driving and turning my head to the side too quickly. Mild nausea. Mild tenderness in right achilles just in the morning upon getting out of bed that occurred twice in the week of taking Cipro | I had read about the side effects of Cipro before I started taking it. So, I drank a liter to 1.5 liters a day of premium bottled water. I avoided tap water or anything with floride (i.e. toothpaste - used baking soda and peroxide instead.) I also ate yogurt at least twice a day and avoided excess sugars. | F | 46 | 7 days 500 2X day | 4/23/2010 |
