| 1 | prostatitis | Took it for 5 hours when I began to get a severe headache/migraine. I continued taking it and the headache worsened and persisted for 36 hours. No OTC pain relief helped and I had to go to the ER twice. The second time I was hospitalized and checked out very thoroughly as I was so ill -- brain scan and pelvic area scan. I have never had such a debilitating headache: I could barely move out of bed and I just had to lie there, feeling dreadful | I would NEVER take this drug again as my headache was so unbearable. Only one doctor and a pharmacist were able to tell me that 4% of people who take this suffer headaches, although I would have expected and wanted more doctors to be familiar with this potentially very severe reaction as it would have made me feel less panicky about whether I had suddenly developed a severe neurological isssue | M | 45 | 2 days | 3/20/2007 | 1 | uti and upper respiratory | Pains and cramps in feet legs arms low back knees. Hard to walk cannot drive or shop. Thank and bless husband for doing all now. I wish my doctor and all his family would have to take this poison. | F | 79 | 2 days 500mg | 6/13/2012 | 1 | Sinus/throat infection | Extreme panic, near fainting, severe drop in blood pressure, feeling of desperation because you feel like you're about to die, nausea, severe bladder discomfort. | I tried this drug twice thinking something else must have caused my bad reaction the first time. I was wrong. The second reaction was worse. Within 24 hours of stopping the drug I was improving but probably because I only took 2-3 pills. This drug is extremely nasty and should be recommended on a life or death basis only. The studies about Cipro, before it was opened up to be prescribed to the public, show so many severe side effects that it is nearly criminal that this was approved. | F | 55 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 5/4/2012 | 1 | Skin Boil | Burning in stomach, chest, back and shoulders. Tingling in extremeties. Joint pain in knees, ankles, shoulders and hip. Extremely drugged feeling. Food tasted bad. | Burning sensations lasted about a week but the joint pain has been hell. I took this in early April and for a few weeks it hurt to walk, drive, etc. I am better, however, I have to be careful or I start hurting again. Wish I would have known the nasty side effects before taking this junk. Please don't take this if you can use another medication for your problem. The side effects are horrible. Doctors should be ashamed for not warning their patients beforehand of the possible effects. There have been way too many affected by the quin class drug. | F | 40 | 2 days 500 MG 3X day | 6/14/2012 | 1 | Staph infection | Hallucinations!!! Awful.... Sharp stomach pains....acid reflux/ heartburn | F | 49 | 2 days 2 times d | 6/21/2012 | 1 | Kidney infection | NEVER TAKE IT I only took 2 tablets was asleep all day and still I feel my sight isn't right and start my new job tomorrow not looking good at all, my doc is useless :( I am still not right and haven't tool them since Friday it's now Sunday night still feel spaced out and a headace :( hope it goes and I'm not like this forever will it go?? | F | 25 | 2 days 250mg | 7/14/2013 | 1 | uti | About 2-3 hours after the 3rd dose I had numbness, tingling around my face and body (mostly face); itching mouth ears, and eyes; dizziness; anxiety and a feeling I can only describe as impending doom. | I did not have a notable rash. This was my first time using Cipro. Many parts of my body, especially joints, hurt like something is attacking it. Weird and scary! | F | 45 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 7/9/2012 | 1 | UTI | Heart palpitations, violent panic attacks, high anxiety, depersonalization, insomnia, muscle twitching, muscle pain, tendonitis, chest pains, crawling feeling in head and more.. as the days progress new symptoms appear... God didnt bless this drug, this drug is the devils remedy!!! | F | 28 | 2 days 2000mg | 2/5/2013 | 1 | inflammation of the throat | after 3 pills I stopped because of heavy muscular and joint pains, spitting blood and general physical exhaustion. But my cold was better. | Still after a fortnight I am suffering very severe wandering muscular pains, so bad that I couldn't walk and manage only with pain killer. I am very worried how long this will last. | F | 70 | 2 days 500 2X day | 2/10/2013 | 1 | uti | urinary retention and diahrhea | M | 70 | 2 days 500mg. | 12/16/2012 | 1 | UTI | Pain in my legs, arms and fatigue. I would not recommend this for anyone to take. May God help us all! | F | 54 | 2 days 500 | 3/28/2013 | 1 | UTI | Joint Pain, Achilles Pain, lethargy, severe headache, vision disruptions, fatigue, etc. | ONLY TAKE THIS DRUG IF THE OTHER OPTION IS DEATH! THERE ARE MUCH SAFER ANTIBIOTICS TO TAKE. I took this only 4 times November 1, 2012 and on 12/3/12 I still feel Achilles pain and tingling, dizzyness, neck pain, etc... avoid this drug as it will change your life!!! | M | 38 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 12/3/2012 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Systemic Tendinopathy within 24 hours of first dose. Bilateral Achilles Tendinitis. Peripheral neuropathy in left index finger. Ringing in ears. | 10 weeks later, I have had to cut back on my work (personal trainer) and am unable to exert myself in activities of daily living without tendon inflammation. I have no idea if these symptoms will resolve in a year or if this will be with me for the rest of my life (or if it will get worse). Cipro has saved lives, but it should be a drug of last resort - the price I am paying is too high :-( | F | 49 | 2 days 500 mg 2X day | 5/24/2013 | 1 | post appendectomy | with flagyl -- diarrhea, erratic sleep, night sweats (I'd call them swims), bloating, gas pains and it appears an inablity to type as well | horrible drug. I would rather know the odds of getting an infection and risk it then put this stuff in my body. | M | 41 | 2 days | 11/26/2005 | 1 | UTI | Diarrhea, sleeplessness first night on drug, excessive dreaming and bad dreams from my norm,nervousness,continued stomach cramps, previously injured knee and elbow both were really sore within 3 hours of first dose. | Why dont doctors pre-screen for allergies to garbage like this. Why not try a less drastic drug first and use this junk as a last resort.Rather ticked off about the whole mess. | M | 34 | 2 days | 8/3/2006 | 1 | bladder infection | I had been diagnosed two weeks ago with a bladder infection and put on antibiotics. I tried two rounds of the same one and the infection returned. My doctor prescribed Cipro. I took the first dose on a Friday evening and the second Sat morning around 10 am. Within 4 hours I experienced terrible throbbing pain in my left leg after taking only two doses. Later on the same day it became throbbing pain in the entire leg from hip to ankle. I stopped taking Cipro immediately when I noticed the side effects. (luckily the pharmacist had previously warned me to watch out for these signs) I could not find any relief for the throbbing pain. I read on the internet to try loading up on calcium to counteract the drug. It has seemed to help alleviate some of the severe pain. Today I am resting with my leg propped up and this is helping. Since it is the weekend I cannot reach my doctor until tomorrow when I will relate my experience and ask for a different antibiotic. | I would not recommend this product unless it is used as a last resort. | F | 55 | 2 days 500 2X day | 1/23/2011 | 1 | Diarrhea | I was prescribed Cipro by a doctor because i had had bad diarrhea for a full week and it was getting worse (blood, etc..) Started taking Cipro and was warned that it may make my Achilles tendons hurt a little. after 1 day my left knee and my left hip/pelvis/lower back were in more pain than i've ever felt in my life. Trying to get out of bed and go to the bathroom with bad diarrhea is hard enough, but trying to keep things in while trying to strain my body against pain is nearly impossible. i have messed myself 4 times since being on Cipro because the pain just made it impossible not to go while in transit. After seeing this forum, i'm going to call my doctor today and demand a new medicine.. i just hope my body goes back to it unpainful state. i would definitely avoid this drug. | M | 32 | 2 days 500 2X day | 2/17/2011 | 1 | sinus infection | Nausea, Muscle spam, Insomnia, Anxiety, Headache | Cipro has to many serious side effects. Doctors should think twice before they give a prescription for Cipro, only if there is no other option. This antibiotic has a black label warning from the FDA... There are other alternative antibiotics on the market. | F | 42 | 2 days 2X day | 2/11/2011 | 1 | Bladder Infection | Horrific graphic real nightmares. Restlessness and anxiety. | I will never take another drug again without reading the warning signs first. I have been awake all night and have experienced 7 - 8 horrible nightmares, night sweats, anxiety and restlessness. This drug is not for me. | F | 50 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 11/19/2010 | 1 | UTI | Developed POTS syndrome and am now unable to work or shop or take care of myself. Its been 8 weeks, I really hope this goes away. The FDA should pull this drug. | The fact is, some people have a reaction, and some don't, just like any other drug. However, if you are one of the unlucky ones, you may be disabled for life. Thats quite a gamble when there are plenty of other options out there. The people out there who are mocking to those of us whose life has been ruined just because they "missed the bullet" are uneducated and heartless. I am not writing this review to vent, I am writing it so that someone else does not have to go through what I am going through. DONT TAKE THIS DRUG. | F | 28 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 12/9/2010 |
