| 5 | Sinus Infection | Mild Euphoria, Mild Restlessness | Within 1 day of treatment, the mucus turned white/clear/brown and all other symptoms disappeared, it's also made me downright friendly, probably drug induced psychosis but in a good way. Friends say I'm never this nice. They want me to stay on it hahah. Really, I suppose I'm atypical maybe but this stuff worked amazingly for me, I'm halfway through treatment and symptoms have all disappeared down to my normal levels of sneezing and blowing my nose all the time because this place is full of allergens. As an added benefit, if I had any other bacteria floating about in me I'm sure its quite dead too. Floxin type drugs are not to be used constantly though, so as to not make resistant bacteria. | M | 23 | 5 days | 1/20/2010 | 5 | UTI | None. I took it last june with none either. Works better than macrodantin; which I used previously. | I was shocked and scared when I read the other stories. Im usually very sensitive to medications but this one is great! | F | 50 | 5 days | 1/10/2010 | 5 | Bladder Infection | None besides some nausea if I had an empty stomach before I took the pill. | I read about the side effects before taking this drug (nausea, joint pain, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, stomach upset, vomiting), but only experienced the nausea if I took it on an empty stomach. The nausea lasted about 15-20 minutes tops. I felt that it worked quickly too- I was feeling better by the second day.. | F | 20 | 5 days | 7/21/2009 | 5 | UTI | headache, heartburn pretty bad | I was on nitrofurantoin - 1 pill had me vomiting with chills. 2 days later i thought i was dying and couldn't breath and felt catatonic. My doctor switched me to cipro so I cautiously started the treatment - because i already had 3 days worth of the other drug the doc said if i started to get sick then i could stop after 3 days. However after a day I felt immediate relief, the other drug had me so knocked out that the cure was worse than the disease. I finished out the cipro without any side effects that were serious as listed here on this board. Hours after taking it i noticed i'd have bad indigestion/heartburn sensation and a headache even with food and water. But overall my body responded well and I could go to work again and feel normal. Every drug has a different reaction for every person. The best rule of thumb is, if you notice your drug is making you sick - have your doctor switch to something else. Don't finish it out miserably if there are other alternatives, it's your body a | F | 33 | 5 days | 3/5/2008 | 5 | UTI | I was just prescribed Cipro for the 4th time. Everytime it was for a UTI. I never had one side effect from this drug which is odd for me because I've had anxiety for years and anytime I take medicine the anxiety always makes me "think" i have every side effect listed. I honestly never had any from this drug. With my uti's I had severe burning and pressure and within an hour or two of taking the first pill that was all gone. I LOVE this medicine. I do remember reading though that if you drink caffeine while taking cipro it will increase the effects of the caffeine. Maybe that where part of the nervousness is coming from that some people are having. | F | 35 | 5 days | 11/11/2008 | 5 | food poisoning | I experienced almost every symptom listed as a side effect, even before and then continuing after I began the course of treatment. Obviously, these were due to the ailment and not the cure, which was quick and effective. Maybe others have true side effects in proprtion to the % listed on the labeling, but in my case, thank God for good doctors and modern medicine. | M | 53 | 5 days | 12/26/2007 | 5 | UTI | I tried macrobid and it caused me to throw up and have terrible chest pains. My doctor switched me to Cipro and I was so scared to take it after reading these comments. Other than mild tingling that went away quickly, I had no side effects and it cured my UTI within the first day of a five day dosage. | It does work. | F | 33 | 5 days | 1/2/2009 | 5 | parasite/intestinal infection | none | I took this medicine for the 5 day course, and my symptoms have completely improved. No side effects whatsoever. I went from having 3 weeks of uncontrollable diarrhea and abdominal pain, to being completely back to normal after the cipro. | F | 34 | 5 days | 1/18/2009 | 5 | UTI | mild nausea, mild anxiety increase | I already have anxiety so it is hard to say whether the cipro itself increased my anxiety or if merely being unhealthy and having to take it did. After reading this website I was very scared to take it, but the only problem I had was some very mild nausea, which is normal for me whenever I take anything. | F | 22 | 5 days | 8/19/2008 | 5 | SEVERE UTI | Mild nausea/loss appetite, feel a little chilly, sleepy | Please remember most of us are not doctors and it is not in our best interest to self-diagnose based on opinions of our peers. I'm on day 5 of a 7-day cycle of 500mg Cipro. Cleared up my horrid UTI nicely (and my skin looks great to boot!) very mild side effects, as with all other antibiotics I've taken. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! And eat frequent, light meals/snacks, drink plenty of water, get rest...the gym will have to wait. | F | 35 | 5 days | 9/2/2008 | 5 | diverticulitis | none that i know of. but then I'm not sitting around looking for any. seem a little spacy but then again no big deal. may b e the flagyl from what i've read but i think i'm going to chg my dosage from 3 x a day to 2 x a day (7 a.m. and 2 p.m.) so I can have a drink or two at night before bed. lol | It works! I may even stop my dosage 2 days early to keep some around next time this happens on the weekend so I can save the urgent care or emerg care deductible! woohoo! | M | 48 | 5 days | 3/24/2009 | 4 | bacterial pneumonia | stomach cramps, lower abdominal bloating | I'm still not sure if the bloating was actually a side effect or an allergy to the drug. I was very uncomfortable for about 72 hours with the bloating. After finishing the prescribed amount (twice a day for five days, 500mg) the bloating slowly subsided. It did help the pneumonia though. | F | 27 | 5 days | 4/24/2008 | 4 | uti | A headache that has not gone away. i wondered if it was the uti but it seems to be a common side effect. Muscle weakness; but again that can be attributed to the infection. Overall, i'm feeling a heck of a lot better than i was 1 week ago. | Apparently have had a uti for about a month. Annueal exam first showed and i was give Macrobid. took that and figured all was fine. No symtpoms other than extreme fatigue. went back to doc, had a really bad uti. cipro has helped. | F | 5 days | 4/21/2008 | 4 | Dental Infection | Im actually on it right now and Im really spaced out, Im nauseated, im sort of disoriented, and my joints all hurt. Its not bad enough to get me to stop taking it but it isnt exactly pleasant. | I much prefer Avelox but Cipro is also working fairly well. I just dont exactly like the side effects. Don't take it with Aspirin either, your stomach will burn so bad it makes you wish you were dead. | M | 25 | 5 days | 12/14/2009 | 4 | UTI | Uphoria, listlessness and then significant fatigue. This is my fourth day of taking Cipro. I went to Target to shop and felt really tired and this is after resting for the last couple of days. It was hard to lift the big laundry detergent bottle. | I think this is a great antibiotic and has cleared my infection. I think it may be too strong for a simple UTI and I wonder why it was prescribed to me. I guess because I may be allergic to Sulfa drugs. I think it should be saved for Anthrax. Other than the fatigue, I have had no other bad side effects though. I find the fatigue rather odd. | F | 43 | 5 days | 1/18/2010 | 4 | Bladder infection | A little nauseated, slight low back pain,overall a little ache and weak but not as bad as infection itself. | I am in stage 4 kidney disease because of bladder infections and cipro being bad for your kidneys but I have tried other meds for bladder infections and they don't work for me. Cipro is the only thing I have found that will get rid of my infections. I take as many natural medicines as I can instead of man made meds and have a natural hormone Dr who know about natural med and man made med. Some things don't mix but there is no natural med for bladder infection once you have the infection so I would have probably been without a kidney or on dialysis already if I didn't have the cipro. There are side effects to every man made med . The key is to first try to do anything preventable not to get an infection and then if there isn't a natural med you can take ,then find a man made one that gives you the least amount or no side effects, but don't try to take a med off of the market because you have bad side effects from it and it's bad for the kidneys because it might be the only thing that works for someone else and keep them from being without a kidney a little longer or keep them from dying because they can't get this infection out of their body. So instead of trying to put all of your energy to take this drug off the market why don't you come up with one that will get rid of an infection like cipro does but without the harmful side effects and damage to your kidney. If you are on such a witch hunt and really concerned about your kidneys then you might want to check out anything | F | 50 | 5 days 500 mg | 12/17/2016 | 4 | Bladder kidney infection . | Severe itching and also itching in vigina it's extremely terrible the itching also.painfully mussels joints horrible side effects | Giving it another day getting more energy each day but throbbing kidney still there and elevation at nite time | F | 54 | 5 days 250 | 10/6/2015 | 4 | UTI and Bacterial Vaginitis | Tiredness for the first few days. Lower abdominal issues like cramps and stomach discomfort. It's been hard to exercise because my muscles are so stiff and sore, but exercise helps me feel better. Sharp "pinpoint" headaches,hard to sleep. | Works! | F | 36 | 5 days | 5/31/2006 | 4 | UTI | Prescribed Cipro after other antibiotic failed. No significant side effects during treatment (5 days 500mg/2x per day)- minor gastro. Cleared up infection. Post treatment - have had constant mild headache for last 3 days.. | F | 37 | 5 days | 6/16/2007 | 4 | lung infection | nauseousness, skin red around wrists, stomach cramps a couple of times | first time taking; I am also taking cephaflexin at the same time! | F | 57 | 5 days | 12/9/2005 |
