| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CIPRO | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | External Ear Infection | Stomach cramping, diarrhea, muscle soreness and weakneass, rapid heartbeat | HORRIBLE DO NOT TAKE | F | 20 | 7 days | 5/8/2008 | 1 | UTI | Numb hands&feet, pins and needles. Blood circulation problems in hands&feet & extreme pain after taking the antibiotic. Extreme anxiety, panic attack at end of treatment. Tinnitus, headaches. Long lasting effects (until now): lightheadedness, mild ataxia, lack of short-term memory memory, persistent fatigue. I was young, perfectly fit, and a long distance runner. I totally lost my endurance. I train but I get nowhere close to my level of performance before treatment. Pain in joints and tendons. | It has been six month since the end of treatment. I am slowly recovering. Most notable change during these six month: anxiety has mostly disappeared while joint problems have considerably worsened. Hopefully it will resorb eventually. These side effects are not that frequent (maybe 5% of patients or less), but now I know they are very serious and can last for months or years. I experienced 1 month of hell and 5 month of purgatory. To avoid permanent damage: use quinolones only if ABSOLUTELY necessary. Start with low doses the first two days, and stop immediately if any the classical side effects appears (peripheral neuropathy, CNS disorders, joints and tendons pain). | M | 27 | 7 days | 8/22/2008 | 1 | UTI | Extreme fatigue, insomnia, joint pain and weakness, difficulty walking, muscle spasms, difficulty concentrating and light sensitivity are my main symptoms, continuing 6 months after I stopped taking the drug. | I will never take anything from this class of antibiotics ever again. It was my first time exposure and unfortunately I'm still experiencing side effects long after stopping the drug. I don't know if this will be permanent but it has definitely altered my life. I can't work, I can't do the activities I used to and I'm 36. I feel like I'm 90. I would avoid this drug unless it's the only drug that will save your life. | F | 36 | 7 days 500 mg | 3/5/2016 | 1 | UTI | Severe dizziness, headache, chills, extreme fatigue | Cannot function at all after only taking 2 pills. So dizzy that I couldn't get up out of a chair or bed to get across the room. Literally fell over backwards onto the floor. Terrible side effects! | F | 34 | 7 days 2X day | 11/24/2015 | 1 | Took cipro last year. Afterwards poor sleep. Joints. Brain fog. Bad dreams. Never related this to cipro. Until I got cipro last month. Worried about my future. Seems to be permanent damage now | Cipro should only be used as a last resort. This drug is very dangerous should removed. | M | 49 | 7 days | 11/21/2015 | 1 | UTI | both shoulders tendon rupture , elbow tendonitis | Drs are idiots about this drug | F | 45 | 7 days ? 3X day | 9/16/2015 | 1 | Simple UTI | Extreme fatigue at first, by the 6 day the top of my feet and ankles were hurting and felt extreme muscle weakness. Could not stay awake, not even for work or my family. | It has almost been four years since the 7 day course of ciprofloxacin and now diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hyperacusis, tinnitus, adrenal fatigue, chronic pain. Lost my job after working for same company for 20 years, extreme panic attacks and anxiety. Worse drug ever and I'm only one of hundreds of thousands impacted.

Sooooo SCARY! 6 months out and I suffer nerve and joint/muscle/bone pain, constant numbness in hands and feet and soreness in ribs that cause shortness of breath, severe chronic fatique, dry eye and vitreous detachment, which I did not have before. I feel desperate for help and worried that I may not recover. Horrible drug this ciprofloxacin. | Fluoroquinolones must be perscribed only for life threatening conditions that no other antibiotic could cure! | F | 55 | 7 days 500 mg | 7/20/2015 | 1 | Sinus | Terrible body pain and mental anguish that is not subsiding, even after cessation of the drug. I never suffered from any of this prior to taking Cipro. Thank God I work from home, otherwise I would have to be on leave but even then I'm struggling to make it through the days. | Wouldn't wish this stuff on my worst enemy. Should be highly restricted if not outright banned as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to be having a little talk with the doctor who prescribed this to me. I've lost such respect for the medical profession after my experience with this poison. Who can we trust? | M | 59 | 7 days 500 2X day | 7/14/2015 | 1 | UTI | Felt very ill. Burning all over as well. Did not take last day's dosage because I felt so bad. I am now feeling weak and fatigued. Cleared up UTI, but cost of health is too high! This should be banned.

Having extreme fatigue, fever, chills, muscle aches if I don't take 800 mg ibuprofen every 4 to 6 hours. Terrible headaches and pain in left leg walking. My doctor ran cbc and all my blood levels and platelets were low. He says take a good vitamin.

I went for groceries and had to ride cart because I couldn't walk through store | I will never take this drug again | F | 60 | 7 days 500mg x 2 | 3/31/2015 | 1 | upper uti | Day two of taking this drug I was back at Care Now with horrible rib pain and problems with chest. They told me common with kidney infection. Gave me shot of rocephine. Finished last does on a Saturday still wasnt feeling great but fever had gone away and night sweats. Sunday mother's day started to have a little pain in right leg. By Monday morning I had developed this migrating awful pain (bring you to your kness pain) and it wasn't going away by Monday night. My husband tried to get me back into Care now but they were booked and we went ot ER. The pain was so severe I was crying. ER did a urine sample and said urine has trace of blood but not white blood cells. They did a cat scan and iv pain meds. Sent me home because everything looked fine. Its been almost a week and the pain in my legs is unbearable. I went back to Care Now yesterday and they never mentioned cipro could cause this. I mentioned it. They ran some blood tests wont get back until Monday and its Saturday. | F | 53 | 7 days 500 2X day | 5/16/2015 | 1 | UTI | The 1st night a big circle of my scalp felt like it was frozen, all funny. The next day my shoulders started popping like crazy. I wanted to stop the pills but had been warned that the type of infection/bacteria I had, acinetobacter baumannii, needed to be killed or face kidney disease. I had begged my doctor to give me something else due to the fact I had 5 reasons to NOT take it, on prednisone, over 60, already had tendon and liver problems, and led an active lifestyle. I have not been able to work, I can barely walk, can't drive, too dizzy. No income because my doctor was too lazy to look up the "black box warning" like I asked him to and his attitude>that he knew what was best for me. I could wring his neck, cheerfully. I'm going to a naturopath next week, am starting on many supplements, magnesium, milk thistle, probiotics, raw organic honey and pure apple cider, and epsom salt baths. Fighting off the depression is another story, how do you get out of the dumps when y | DIRTY ROTTEN POISON PILLS...

I took ciprodex ear drop for 7 days six years ago and since then I have had extreme ongoing pain in my thighs, shins, calves and tendons. The pain is a combination of nerve pain (feeling very cold, alternating between tingling and numbness, extreme burning pain), muscle pain and cramps and tendon pain. this is not just pain. this is life changing life destroying pain for six years that hasn't stopped for a single second. my eyelid twitches constantly, I have pain all over my body, dry eyes, popping joints, nothing is normal anymore.

Then after an unfathomable 3 day headache, I was left with a brain numbness that progressed to vertigo, depersonalization, hearing loss, extreme fatigue. Then the random disabling pains began after about 3 weeks. My life was hell. After 2 months a cyst developed on my thyroid. Now 10 months later, TV things are cycling. Most the same, some new symptoms. My thyroid is now destroyed. Subaccute thyroiditis, the cyst has taken over my thyroid and surgical removal is recommended. | M | 35 | 7 days 2x 500mg | 1/5/2015 | 1 | UTI | Chest pain ,techie cardiac ,chills ,throat swelling and hard to swallow, itchy skin, anxiety attacks, joint pains vein pains, breathing troubles, light colored stool, sweats, numb hands , stomach pains, | I went to the ER and 10 hours being there the dr decided all was normal with me except my uti and didn't know what's wrong but was given info on medication and they told me to keep taking it.
