| 1 | Bacterial infection | I WOULD NOT USE AGAIN. After 3 days of 500mg BID (2xday)I started experiencing clouded thought, ANXIETY bordering on Panic. Stomach up-set even when taken with food, vision disturbances, diahrea initially which passed after 2 days and this is the First Day without the medication. I had taken Levaquin once in the past and same symptoms 2 years ago. Came to web to find some answers. I found them. Quinilones are KNOWN for ALL of these reported symptoms I have reported and read on this board. Not hypocondriacal reaction/ IT IS VERY REAL TO ME. Hope it Passes. Have read it should pass within the period of 7 days abstenance or cessation of treatment with Ciproflaxin. ONLY MY OPINION !! | Thanks To EACH and EVERYONE who posted so I now know I am OK and these symptoms are from a specific known substance and not manifestations of something unknown. :) | M | 50 | 4 days | 11/26/2007 | 1 | Bacterial Infection | Extreme Depression, Frequent Anxiety, loss of concentration, depersonalization, loss of appetite, many runs to the bathroom | I hate this drug. I took it for an infection in my throat and the entire duration of the 4 days was hell. I could not concentrate at work or college. By the time the sun went down, depression started and I couldn't get my happiness back at all. Physiological depression is the worst feeling. Don't take any Quinolones if your problem isn't serious. Cipro could make it worse. It took almost exactly 48 hours to overcome the effects and normal out. I will never forget the side effects. | M | 19 | 4 days | 3/7/2008 | 1 | misdiagnosed staph infection | I ended up in the ER. I only took the first 3.5 days and then could barely move or breathe due to muscle contractions so went to the ER. I have not taken it in a week and my whole body is still sore, both muscles and tendons. I would only take this if it is life or death. I know everyone's body is different, but after reading all of these, seems this effects a lot of people, including myself. Thank goodness I don't have more effects, because these are bad enough, I can not do normal activities without feeling weak, tired and in pain. Anyone on here's feel better after a a few weeks? That is what I am hopin for! | F | 28 | 3.5 days | 12/16/2008 | 1 | Possible UTI | Severe tingling in arms and hands, burning in mouth, loss of appetite, severe diarrhea, discomfort and pain around abdomen, insomnia, severe anxiety, sick feeling at night, yeast infection, skin rashes, food sensitivites, machine gun type sounds in right ear similar to ringing. | I took this drug for 3.5 days. I know all of the symptoms I have listed sound crazy but I am honestly describing the horrible experience I had. The symptoms were severe and lasted for several months. I am still having some problems due to this. I would not advise anyone to take this. It should be taken off the market. Doctors are unaware of these side effects. I went to the Emergency Room twice due to the symptoms. No Doctor believed me. It has been one year since I took this drug and I am still having some issues. I am now seeing a Naturopath to try and recover. | F | 48 | 3.5 days | 12/24/2009 | 1 | UTI | Started with lower back pain thinking I slept wrong. By day three my knees tripled in size looking like pumpkins. My foot looked like Frankenstein huge swollen and bruised. The pain was outrageous. I was given pain meds and anti-flammatory medication. Nothing touched the pain. I’ve had my knees drained, shots in my foot, xrays, pain medication given out like candy. I am now crippled and bed ridden. I have a cane and wheel chair. I have missed work for 2 weeks now. The pain has now moved up to my jaw. This condition has made me feel sad and depressed. | I was healthy, active, walked everyday but now I cannot stand. I am in severe pain. I am very depressed. I just hope and pray I get better. | F | 40 | 3.5 days 500 MG 2X day | 10/9/2010 | 1 | gum infection | After 1st day noticed pain in my knee joints and ankles, thought it was due to sunburn in that area. After 2nd day fingers swelled up and having a hard time closing and opening my hands. 3rd day woke up with neck pain and bumps on the back of my neck by my hairline, read side effects of Cipro and stopped taking this drug. Hope by stopping my joints will go back to normal. | If so many people are affected by this drug why is it still on the market? | F | 46 | 3.5 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/15/2011 | 5 | UTI | mild nausea, night sweats | I've been on this script a few times for UTIs. I've never had an issue that concerned me while taking it. For those asking why it's still on the market...the FDA is here to make money, not care about your health. There are TONS of "medications" and treatments the FDA approves that are horrifying. Look into it! | F | 40 | 3 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/17/2011 | 5 | UTI | Anxiety, tingling in hands, panicky feelings. | This cleared up my UTI in 3 days without any major problems. I did notice a spike in anxiety after taking the second pill, but it was mangeable. Some tingling in my hands and feet and some muscle aches in my abdomen but nothing major. I did end up with a yeast infection, but that always happens to me when I take an antibiotic. | F | 22 | 3 days 2X day | 11/7/2011 | 5 | Bladder/Kidney Infection | No side effects. | Went from in miserable pain from the infection to feeling wonderful in just a few hours. After 2 weeks of being sick as a dog from the UTI infections, I took Cipro and it killed everything off that was hurting me. I took it both on an empty stomach and after eating, it was always the same. Never any side effects. Felt like a million bucks. Would take it again any day. This was wonderful to take, considering I have IBS and EVERYTHING bothers my stomach, and this caused me no troubles at all. | F | 30 | 3 days 2X day | 10/3/2011 | 5 | UTI | I have not a single complaint, cipro work extremely well, no side effects, and I had a realy bad infection and terrible pain. | F | 44 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 9/28/2010 | 5 | UTI | None. My urologist said to quit after 3 days. Had taken 2 courses of Macrobid before but UTI kept coming back. Cipro knocked it out and it hasn't come back (been a few months now). | Mostly negative reviews are going to be posted in a place like this. I think that makes it's usefulness very questionable. | F | 57 | 3 days 500 2X day | 2/21/2010 | 5 | UTI | Anxiety, wakeful sleeping - I woke up this morning with a positive, relaxed outlook after spending the last two days quite anxious (on Cipro, 500 2x@day) took my morning dose - anxiety returned - I now am sure that the Cipro is causing it - knowing that makes it OK - it's curing my UTI! | F | 54 | 3 days | 8/10/2006 | 5 | UTI | NONE | I took Cipro in 06 & again this month for 3 days of 250mg pills twice daily. I was terrified to take it & when I couldn't stand the uti anymore, I broke down & took the pill & awaited all these terrible side effects. Nothing happened except the pain, pressure & the constant need to void went away! | F | 47 | 3 days | 8/7/2008 | 5 | UTI | Slight Insomnia,Headache,Grogginess,Heartburn | I thought Cipro did it's job very well. My UTI cleared up within days. I also now have clear toenails... and it cleared up my acne to a large degree. I am very happy. The side effects were mild except the heartburn... it was way too strong. I tasted the pills in my mouth all night, as well as acid and a chalky taste it was gross. | F | 25 | 3 days | 10/14/2008 | 5 | diverticulitis | Dry mouth | I've taken this many times, it's fast and effective | M | 41 | 3 days | 7/7/2006 | 5 | Bladder Infection | None | It helped so much- my infection was very severe. If I DID get any side effects, they were better than having pain and peeing blood. | F | 16 | 3 days | 1/7/2010 | 5 | UTI | slight dizziness when first getting up from seated, took longer to fall asleep at night, which I will gladly trade for a continuing UTI and potential kidney infection. | took cipro 250 twice daily for a UTI for three days. Infection cured quickly, no recurrence. I consider these side effects to be Minor and was dissapointed when I didn't see poodles or turn into a zombie as described here. It's been 48 hours since last dose, neck is a bit sore, but i have also been writing at my computer non stop for the past three days??? That might just be too rational a causation though, and probably won't help anyone sue their doctor. | F | 38 | 3 days | 2/9/2009 | 5 | UTI | None | I was scared to take this medication because I consulted this website before hand. Not only did I have absolutely zero side effects but I felt completely normal and my UTI is gone. I was on 1,000 mg per day. I do realize that everyone has different experiences but sometimes anxiety can make us feel things that are all in our minds. I've suffered from a panic disorder for over two years and I am prone to anxiety. This drug did not make me feel anxious at all. If you let yourself believe you will have side effects, sometimes it will manifest but it's not real. I'm sure there are some people who may be allergic but there are billions of people in the world and only a few of them felt compelled to come on here and complain about this drug. Think about how many have taken it and didn't bother to come on here. I felt it was my duty to report that this drug is ok. | F | 31 | 3 days | 4/29/2008 | 5 | UTI | second day on Cipro for a UTI, so far so good, 3 more pills left and no reactions so far. | After reading on here and having a previous bad experience with Bactrim I was pretty nervous to start Cipro. My bladder infection is gone and ZERO side effects. It seems as that people would only log onto this website because they were having problems... keep that in mind when considering these comments. | F | 26 | 3 days | 11/14/2007 | 5 | UTI infection | The first night after taking the CIPRO I had flu type of symptoms. My eyes were burning and I felt feverish, although I had no fever. The next day I felt better and continued the three day course. I had no other negative experiences and the infection totally cleared up. | F | 52 | 3 days | 6/20/2009 |
