| 1 | Sinus Infection | After one dose, woke up feeling woozy. Felt great for 2 days - then had lightheadedness and bad indigestion. Next night, ended up in ER with chest pain, heart palpitations, horrendous indigestion and leg tremors. Was taken off meds the following day, but continued to have severe tremors (right arm, both legs) and numbness/tingling in left arm and palpitations for 2 more days (to date of writing this email). Also noticed "white noise" in ears, itching, floaters in right eye, chest pain, thrush, loss of appetite and confusion. | PREPARE FOR NO ONE TO BELIEVE YOU! I was lucky, my primary care providers recognized it might be a reaction. But the ER docs - forget it! "The tests were normal/negative" so I must be fine. When I went to the ER the 3rd time after an hour of severe tremors, they assumed that I was crazy or trying to get attention. And since adavan brought down my pulse quickly, they assumed it was an anxiety attack. I asked repeatedly, could it be an allergic reaction - only the last time when they saw a rash and thrush did they say "maybe". We all have to commnicate our experiences to the medical community - I'm writng a letter to the head of the ER and chief of staff for the hospital. And, I might consider contacting my local TV station to be interviewed. We need to get the word out so others don't suffer! | F | 33 | 5 days | 11/26/2007 | 1 | bladder infection | Stomach pain, headache, every joint in my body ached. I could barely walk. I felt sad, mad, emotionally a wreck. My legs ached so bad and would cramp til I feel out of bed. My legs hurt in the calf for 2 more months after stopping the meds. | I also feel this medication may have had something to do with my newly diagnosed diabetes. Interesting articles about tequin. I would not take a quinolone family drug ever again. Do your research. Do not be fooled. Many drugs are in the group. If you want to contact me about your side effects feel free - especially diabetics. | F | 37 | 5 days | 1/9/2008 | 1 | diverticulitus | toes on each foot became numb and pins and needles sensitive to cold and sometimes burning. A couple of weeks later anxiety, nervousness and fatigue | It seems that doctors are still unaware about the side effects.Two months later my feet still bother me and my anxiety is a daily event.Not as many side effects as many but still quite bothersome. Let me hear of your recovery times. | M | 51 | 5 days | 5/5/2008 | 1 | prevent possible infection | tinnitus, insomnia, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, severe depression that has not stopped almost 2 years after taking Cipro. See deathbycipro.wordpress.com | M | 54 | 5 days | 5/8/2008 | 1 | Kidney pain (possible bacteria) | I went to the Dr and he said my urine looked clean, but he couldn't explain the severe pain in my kidney, but guessed it could be a build up of bacteria on the kidney. I had undiagnosed reflux in my right kidney as a child, which destroyed the kidney. It is basically a mass of scar tissue, sometimes it has function, other times not. I started taking Cipro a few days ago and every time I took it I got so nauseous and my bones in my lower back hurt. Now I am exhausted, my back is killing me, my arms, wrists, and neck ache, the sunlight burns my eyes and causes me to see black and red spots. I am severely nauseous, and my kidney still hurts. I am stopping it today after reading all of this. | Nausea, Diarrhea, Severe Lower Back Pain, Pain in All Joints, Sunlight Burned Eyes, Fatigue. I would not recommend it to anyone! | F | 30 | 5 days | 11/30/2008 | 1 | I had problem with my voice | i lost my erection after taking it for 3 days.i took it for another 2 days before i realized it was the cipro have been taking. i could not make love to my wife for 3 good days and it was really annoying. i was depressed,lost concentration and can't think straight. guys should please watch out for this medicine. | i am still having problem sleeping 11 days after stopping cipro. i don't know if that's part of the side effect too. i sleep 2 to 3 hours every night and remain awake for the rest of the night. | M | 37 | 5 days | 1/17/2010 | 1 | Influenza | Partially dissolved 6 tendons in my legs, still some what crippled 7 months later. | To help all with these terrible side effects, a combination of collagen, vitamins especially C, amino acids with minerals is helping me. Have been taking some for 7 months, but collagen for only about 2 months. | M | 59 | 5 days 500 2X day | 11/23/2013 | 1 | u TI | Headache, can't sleep, stomach hurt throat nause | F | 61 | 5 days 500 | 7/18/2013 | 1 | suspected Uti | pain in joints, weakness, insomnia, anxiety, depression, sore tendons, stomach problems, damage to right eye, peripheral neuropathy. | These antibiotics are poison. They have taken 18 months of my life ......so far. Don't know if I will ever fully recover. | F | 5 days 250 mg. 2X day | 9/24/2013 | 1 | Diarrhea | Extreme, constant 24-7 pain in legs for MONTHS after taking this drug. Still in pain now. Don't know if the pain will ever subside. Can barely even walk now, and I used to bicycle 8 miles per day. | This drug is the devil. It is extremely dangerous. Do not take this drug. It was designed for people suffering from Anthrax poisoning, not everyday problems. The people at Bayer should be put in prison for manufacturing this drug. | M | 41 | 5 days 250 mg 2X day | 9/26/2013 | 1 | Flu | Beware of this drug! This drug should be removed from the market, and every person who promotes this drug should be locked up in prison for life. This drug is one of the most dangerous drugs in the entire world -- to be used in life or death situations only -- yet my doctor prescribed this to me for the simple flu. Now I can no longer walk without pain, and on the good days, my legs are completely numb so I can't feel the pain because I can't feel my legs. All of the joints in my body now have arthritis, and I can barely pick up a pencil without pain. This drug turned into an old man at only 40 years old. Any doctor who prescribes this to you is a criminal! | Beware of this drug!

Day 5 fell out heart racing, legs gave out after walking 5 min.Chills, hand and arms going numb.Been 13 days pain only getting worse, can't sleep taking tab 10 and flex 10.

Spasm in back. CNS issues. | M | 27 | 5 days 500mg 1X day | 5/10/2014 | 1 | UTI | Horrific debilitating medicine prescribed by my doctor and approved by FDA. I *was* a healthy 47 year old mountain hiker until this medicine in December stopped me from walking. My symptoms Ive experienced are as follows: photosensitivity in left eye, confusion, loss of balance, muscle twitching, muscle spasm, tingling, burning, pins and needles, shooting pain in arms, legs, hands, scalp, and feet. Multiple Tendenopathy in both feet, both ankles, both knees, both elbows, both wrists, both thumbs. PAINFUL. Unable to walk without pain or for any distance such as down the driveway. . Must shuffle or hobble to another room. Unable to use hands to chop food or open a water bottle. Hair has fallen out. Rash on chest, neck, back, face, and legs. Neck sounds as if there is bubble wrap twisting in it when I turn my head. Jaw pops. In summary...I have suffered agonizing pain that I had never experienced in my life. It has not gone away. I have had to see Opthamologist, Neurologist, Hematologis | Horrific Damaging Medicine. | F | 5 days 250mg 2X day | 4/9/2014 | 1 | Severe Strep Throat | Major loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, acid reflux, dizziness, tiredness, weakness and disorientation. | Don't take this medication unless you are dying! This is some awful stuff and I will never take this again. | F | 23 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 4/22/2014 | 1 | Prostate Infection | I was prescribed 500 mg of Cipro twice a day for 14 days to cure what was thought to be a prostrate infection, but which turned out to be a kidney stone. I have never had any negative side effects from a drug before, but Cipro is different. It began with a screaming headache with occasional nausea and dizziness. And then the muscle pains started. At first it was in my quadriceps, which felt tight and sore. On the fourth day I woke up in the middle of the night because of a severe pain in my right shoulder. On the fifth day my right arm was still sore, but that night a severe pain in my left shoulder and bicep woke me up. I called my doctor and told him that I was through taking Cipro. I've been off of it for a week now, but the pain in my arms will not stop. It feels like a severe cramp that will not stop. Sleeping makes it worse because I'm not moving around. | I stopped taking Cipro almost a week ago, but the pain in my shoulders and arms will NOT go away. It's 3 o'clock in the morning right now, and I can't sleep because the pain is so bad. The doctor prescribed Vicadin to help me deal with it, but NOTHING gets rid of the pain. The side effects from the Cipro is far worse than any pain I've experienced with the kidney stone, I am a very healthy, athletic 47 year old. This kidney stone is the first time I have ever been sick, and the side effects I'm experiencing from taking the Cipro are first I have experienced with any drug. The JERKS who have posted to this website suggesting that this is some kind of joke or conspiracy need to go straight to HELL. Cipro may work for a lot of people, but the side effects I'm experiencing have ruined my life. If you experience a headache or any of the other milder side effects commonly associated with this drug, stop taking it immediately. I'm looking now for possible solutions or treatments to my muscle pains. If I find something--anything-- that works, I will post it here. In the meantime, I'm going to try all the other suggestions people have made starting with treating this as flouride poisoning, and trying to detox with borax. | M | 47 | 5 days | 9/15/2009 | 1 | diarhhea | Long term disability. Huge difficulties with all normal activity. Dizziness. | 35 | 5 days | 10/21/2009 | 1 | UTI/Kidney Infection | This is my 5th day taking the pill, but throughout this week I have experienced; nausea, insomnia, stomach pains, anxiety, afraid I may die "Paranoia", chills, dry mouth, it also caused me to experience a even worse yeast infection and on top of all that, the burning sensation has not cleared up when I urinate. | I was not prescribed this drug the first time I had a UTI, and I really don't like that I have to take this drug now. It really sucks. And I don't feel any better. At all. The bad thing is I didn't even get a chance to talk to the doctor about what I felt was truly going on. I went to the restroom came back and he was gone, he had my prescription written out and gave to another worker in the office to give to me. | F | 22 | 5 days | 10/31/2009 | 1 | UTI | Leg pain - severe enough to prevent me from sleeping. Started on my last day of a 5 day treatment (500 mg twice a day). | It seems ok during the day when I am standing but as soon as I sit down or especially lie down to sleep it starts and is unrelenting. Saturday night I was up all night, last night I slept from 11-3. I called the pharmacist and he wasn't much help, I will call my doctor this morning. I have taken Cipro before without side effects. It has been 5 days since I took my last dose. I took an ibuprofen this morning and it seems to be easing up some so I will try to go back to bed. | F | 65 | 5 days | 12/14/2009 | 1 | diverticulitis | nausea (WORSE than caused by the infection),unquenchable thirst,no energy, flat affect, ear pain, loss of balance, chemical taste in mouth...just after 10 doses of 500mg | Have used Levaquin in the past to treat this infection WITHOUT these side effects. | F | 58 | 5 days | 11/21/2009 |
