| 1 | prostatitus | depression, anxiety, tingling, pain shooting up my arms, burning skin, confusion, dizziness, mood changes, rapid heartbeat, joint pain, muscle pain, numbness, | TOXIC! | M | 40 | 3 weeks 500 2X day | 3/28/2011 | 1 | Prostatitus | Anxiety. Muscle weakness to the degree that I could not walk. Joint weakness and pain. Emergency room diagnosis of Peripheral neuropathy. Extreme fatigue. Insomnia. Creaking bones. | I had taken CIPRO before without side effects. The toxicity can happen at any time. I am still feeling debilitating side effects 7 weeks later. | M | 58 | 3 weeks 500 mg 2X day | 8/2/2011 | 5 | Prostatitis | dry mouth | I was placed on Cipro for two weeks because several weeks of Doxycycline Hyclate did nothing to help my infected and enlarged prostate. The day I started the Cipro, I read almost every comment on this page, and became paranoid that I would have similar side effects until I spoke to other people who took it (including my father) with no side effects. The truth is that I experienced no side effects whatsoever, save for my mouth being dry (yet not uncomfortably) more than usual when I woke up. I slept great, no noticeable stomach problems, no hallucinations, no feeling tired or foggy headed. Been off the cipro for a week, my infection is gone and I'm feeling good. My advice: Don't drink milk or consume dairy products, don't take vitamins or consume anything with a lot of iron, zinc or magnesium, don't consume ANY caffeine or chocolate, and drink as much water as possible daily. The most serious side effects I've come across on this page seem to represent less than 1% of the millions | M | 30 | 2 weeks | 10/17/2007 | 5 | Urinary tract infection | I really have not noticed any side affects. | F | 75 | 2 weeks | 9/23/2008 | 4 | staph infection | Minor headaches, tiredness, fatigue, foggy brain, some nausea, blurred vision, heartburn acidy, jaw popping, problems sleeping. | I was on others meds for this staph infection in my nose. Cipro had the least side effects for me.. Just made me feel so tired. And sick. | F | 43 | 2 weeks 500 | 1/14/2016 | 4 | inner ear infection | none | Cleared up an inner ear infection when no other medication would. | F | 31 | 2 weeks | 7/6/2005 | 3 | UTI?, Hepatitis, epidydimitis? | Dizziness,eyeballs were sore,shortness in breathe,mouth peeling,joint pain(knees)pain in my kidney, testicle, and upper back, i also experienced a burning sensation in my pelvic girdle. It did clear up the jundice and/or bladder infection. | My side effects were not severe at all and if i had to i would probably take it again. but i dont want my body to become immune to antibiotics! it won't be my only means of recovery. | M | 24 | 2 weeks | 10/14/2007 | 2 | Epidydimytis | Nausea, cramping, loose bowels, occasional diarrhea. Post-treatment antibiotic-related colitis. | After my second dose of Cipro, the nausea, loose bowels/diarrhea, and cramping hit me. The doctor couldn't give much advice except that the symptoms are normal and to continue the course of treatment if I wanted to get rid of the infection. I continued to have these symptoms throughout the course of treatment. Two days after taking the last dose, the symptoms came back in full force in the form of antibiotic-related colitis and as a result, I was down for three days with cramping, etc. All in all Cipro cured the infection, but now, over 1 1/2 months later, I'm still having occasional bouts of colitis and as a result having to treat the symptoms of this as well. If I get this infection again, I certainly will not be taking Cipro for it and will consult with my doctor about taking an alternative antibiotic. | M | 25 | 2 weeks | 4/29/2007 | 2 | typhoid fever | severe headache on the left side, nausea, lack of sleep, dizziness, | since i started taking cipro 500 6 days ago iam frequenting the toilet with full stomach,only to pass gas. iam feeling nauseated, dizziness and lack of sleep. effects were worse 4 years ago when i took cipro by I.V twice a day for 6 days. i got bruises and hot burns in my lady parts. literally cipro "burnt" my private areas. | F | 39 | 2 weeks 500 | 1/15/2016 | 1 | Staph infection | C -Diff is what I got from this drug. Never, Never, Never take it | F | 60 | 2 weeks 30mg 3X day | 6/18/2015 | 1 | Prostatitis | Sweating at nights. Fast heart rate. High blood pressure. Chest pains. Nightmares. | M | 34 | 2 weeks 500 | 6/23/2015 | 1 | UTI | Heart palpitations, upset stomach, headaches and loose stools. | It's been approximately 5 weeks since I've been off Cirpo. I still have loose stools, bloating, gas, lower left and right abdominal pain, no poop on toilet paper after bowel movement, feels like my circulation is being cut off from my legs. This medication was horrible I was supposed to take it for a month stopped after 2 weeks. | M | 29 | 2 weeks 500mg | 4/15/2017 | 1 | ear mastoid | side effects just found this out,,in 2000 i had to take cipro years after taking cipro this poison.. oral & 10 days intervenes,,,i live in so much pain ..elbows knees neck all my body & most of all my MIND,, yes it did cure my mastoid but was it the right drug to give me,, i though after being poisoned by cipro i was just getting old & that part of life,,((I was so wrong)),,cipro is why,,i have read most of all the experiences with cirpo,, no one seems to have taken as much cipro as I've had mass amounts of it total saturated... total poisoned from it..since i had cipro my elbows & wrist had been operated on..i was misdiagnose because of cripo,,my doctors did know my pain was cause from cirpo neither did i..also for the last 6-years I've had cortisone shots & cortisone pills for the pain. i am total shocked from what i have read,, only in life or deaf situation should cipro poison be used.. | WARNING do not take this poison cipro only if your life is on the line side effects pain rest of your life FDA needs to band cirpo from the public again only if your life is on the line | M | 50 | 2 weeks | 7/18/2008 | 1 | E-Coli infection | very sore shoulders and ankles for up to six months. Hallucinations, sensitivity to light, spaciness, complete forgetfulness (would forget where I was, who I was, where i was going, drive miles and miles when I was supposed to be going to work, forget where I worked), EXTREME nightmares. ALL of this lasted six months. It has been four years since I took this drug and sometimes when I have a glass of orange juice all the symptoms come rushing back, it's weird. Complete intolerance to alcohol and caffeine that have lasted for years. Intolerance to Chlor-Trimeton? and many other medications that influence GABA for any reason. Anxiety, Panic Attacks, the list goes on and on. Wasn't there something else they could have given me? I almost think it would have been better to go with a sulfur based drug that was not quite as effective than give up six months of my life and live with these side effects years and years later! I used to laugh at people with anxiety thinking it was all in their hea | After I took this, I completely lost my mind. I was a healthy, 20-something professional whose life was destroyed after taking this drug. I went from having virtually no allergies or sensitivities to being light sensitive, many allergies (some previous such as animals), cannot tolerate alcohol anymore (I believe this drug cross the Blood brain barrier and can have an effect on GABA), well, I guess it's easier to list the things this drug did not screw up, such as my liver and possibly my heart, although I have started having panic attacks as the latest in a long line of years of symptoms all present after this drug. | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 3/31/2009 | 1 | sinus infection | hair loss, joint pain, bone pain, muscle twitching, horrible insomnia, loose wrinkled thin skin, bloated abdomen, total loss of appetite, indigestion, breathlessness, hand tremors, depression, floaters, blurred vision, sensitivity to cold | PLEASE DO NOT TAKE A FLUOROQUINOLONE ANTIBIOTIC. I really feel that taking an anthrax drug for a sinus infecttion has totally, totally ruined my life. Since May, I have had $12,000.00 in lab tests done. All results negative. Have been to PCP, GYN, two rheumatologists and a pancreatic surgeon. They say they have "tested me out." They have collectively decided to throw me to the first available endocrinologist. I was first diagnosed with serum sickness 21 days after first cipro pill. Went to PCP with face swollen and joints wobbly. She says it was from the blood pressure meds I had been taking for 2 years, couldn't possibly be the Cipro! Wanna bet? And since then, the hellish nightmare that has become my life started. Besides all the physical symptoms, there is the constant awareness that I have no peace, no enthusiasm, no happiness and worst of all, no hope. I wonder how well the drug company executives sleep. I bet they have no trouble eating or doing the most mu | F | 52 | 2 weeks | 12/12/2007 | 1 | Chest congestion | pain in legs, back, neck, tendonitis. cramping in my feet and arms. | Do not take this drug, it has been 5 months now, and I have not recovered. The doctors treat you like you're nuts. This drug has ruined my life and I am afraid I will never recover. There should be a class action lawsuit against this company. No one should be allowed to dispense drugs that have the power to destroy your life. This drug will cripple you do not take it | F | 53 | 2 weeks | 3/14/2008 | 1 | infection | Large red rash on face, depression, nausea, watery diarrhea | M | 32 | 2 weeks | 1/12/2010 | 1 | misdiagnosed with bac puemonia | Joint pan , tendon rupture , poly nueropathy , vision loss , hearing loss , degenerative discs,tooth loss , memory loss , sjs , mrsa , tinitus , tendonitus , brain fog , shortness of breath , severe fatigue , lack of coordiation , no concentration , unable to finish tasks , vericose viens , heart palpatations , nightmares , suicidal thoughts , change of tastes and othere senses.... | M | 55 | 2 weeks 500 | 7/28/2014 | 1 | possible prostate infection | WEIRD SCARY THOUGHTS, DEEEEP DEPRESION, MOOD SWINGS, HORRIBLE HORRIBLE ANXIETY ATTACKS, DAYS WITHOUT SLEEP, I FREAKIN QUIT MY JOB BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS, ( THROUGH THE GRACE OF GOD THEY ALLOWED ME TO COME BACK AND HAVE LEAVE TIME ), I USED TO WIEGH 182 NOW IM DOWN TO 163 (IVE HAD NUMEROUSE EXAMS AND THEY ARE ALL CHECKING OUT FINE PRAISE GOD!). SORE KNEES, ( BENT DOWN ONCE AND HAD TO REALLY MAKE AN EFFORT TO GET UP ). BUT THE WORSTE WAS THE MENTAL SIDE, ONLY GOD CAN KEEP YOU THROUGH AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS, I PRAISE GOD! FOR KEEPING ME IN ALL THIS, | its been about 2 months since ive taken this stuff. before then i was having urinating issues ( stop and go ) . so the doctor prosscribed me this horrible drug. they gave me 28 pills. and i was to take 2 a day and come back to see him after i finished..well it goes with out saying i could not go through with the advise...about 3 pills into the bottle i started having wierd moments of constant negative thoughts, these morbid thoughts lead to a depression i cant describe!!!, nights without sleep!!, then the anxiety attacks started!!!!, i took this med for about 2 weeks of and on ( i missed a day here and there, but i ended up taking 20 out of the 28 pills ) its been about a month 1/2 since i took the last cipro pill, ( its been about 1 month since i took the last xanax, which i was using to help get sleep, but was making me feel horrible as well, and its been about 3 weeks since i took the last ativant pill which they put me on because i told them i couldnt handle the xanax. ) and it made me feel horrible as well.

I started having joint pain everywhere and did not know about this being a side effect. Went to doctor who ran blood tests and were negative for whatever they looked for. Months to clear the joint pain. Couldn't go to gym. Painful when sitting, laying down to sleep. Cleared up after 6 months of no activity. Did not know Cipro was the cause until I started a new course. One day later: shoulder pain, day two, hip pain . Thanks Doc. | F | 50 | 2 weeks | 12/18/2009 |
