I didn't do anything to to my shoulder all I was doing was sitting playing a video game and all of a sudden I got a sever stabbing pain in my shoulder was not able to sleep went to the doctor the next day. I think they thought I was crazy because before I left for my app the nurse called and said that the doctor doesn't think that an antibiotic could cause my pain I told her that it was in the patient info I received from the pharmacy. I took that with me to the doctor so they could see for their selves but I still felt dismissed. I didn't get to see my doctor he wasn't there. The one I did see I didn't like. | F | 27 | 2 days 500 2X day | 3/12/2010 | 1 | uti | crushing headache, leg pains, depression, bloody nose, aches all over my body. | My Dr. prescribed Cipro for a UTI. After taking the Cipro for 2 days I was in so much pain that when my Dr. called to see how I was doing I told him I thought I was going to die!!! I had never felt as bad in my life. I quit taking cipro after 2 days and took another antibiotic. For weeks after taking cipro my upper thigh muscles felt like they had been destroyed. My regular MD did blood work and discovered that my "muscle emzynes" were sky high. She would have given me a steriod but said that it would affect my blood sugar. So for about a month or so I just put up with the pain before it finally subsided. Here's the saddest thing of all......this happened 7 years ago. If I stress my thigh muscles in any way (like exercise) my thighs hurt so bad, and get so tight that they cause me to feel "unsteady" on my feet. I have to go down the steps backwards! If I try to go down normally I feel like my legs won't support me. | F | 58 | 2 days 1X day | 3/13/2010 | 1 | UTI | Pain in hands and bottom of feet, extreme muscle aches and pains, difficulty walking, heel pain. | I am posting this 6 months after my initial time taking this medication. I am doing so much better now. Almost all muscle symptoms have gone. I remember going to this site and thinking why doesn't anyone post how long it takes to get better? Well, for me it was 6 months. Hang in there, you will get better, it just takes a long time! I found ice packs to be very helpful in relieving the heel pain. | F | 38 | 2 days | 2/1/2010 | 1 | UTI | Red raised scaling rash on my eyelids, swollen eyes, migraine for 3 days, joint pains in my fingers and wrists, loss of strength in my uppper arms, felt like I was getting the flu, cloudy mind | I have had UTIs in the past and have been prescribed an antibiotic that worked perfectly fine with no side effects. I went to see a Nurse Practioner b/c my doctor was unavailable and she decided to try Cipro even though she noted the other antibiotic worked well. I started with the rash and swelling on my eyes after two pills and finally stopped the pills after 4 of them. Then the migraine started and lasted for 3 days. I was out of work for those days because I was in such pain and couldn't focus. Now that the migraine is gone, my eyelids are heavy and droopy, the rash is still there only not as severe and my head is in a fog even though I got 8+ hours of sleep last night! I would never recommend anyone take this medication! | F | 46 | 2 days | 1/28/2010 | 1 | uti | many many many still effected 6 months later still have all tinnitis all my tendons swell a weird headache like something crawling in my head stabbing in the center of my head and numbness on the left side of my head. anyway they are all less intense then 3 months ago i even have days when i feel really good. | cipro is a poison. we all know that. any way i emailed alot of people and no one emailed me back im thinking no one is getting my emails, I have made progress im on b6 omega 3 an amazing product from the seed of broccoli called sulforaphane glucosinolate expensive but worth it and like others accupunture. my email is on here please email me i would love to share my progress with those that want to oh yeah also Clean organic food a must even my toothpaste has no flouride | F | 44 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 5/11/2010 | 1 | Strep throat/scarlet fever | Severe tendonitis in wrists, ankles, knees, shoulders, stiff neck. After the first day of taking Cipro, I noticed that my joints were aching but thought it was due to the strep/scarlet fever. After the second day, I knew something was not right so I googled Cipro and read all of this. My joints are swollen and it's difficult to even walk. | F | 29 | 2 days 500 2X day | 5/6/2010 | 1 | epidymitis | Severe abdominal pain, cramps and tingling. | Was prescribed this for 5 days and after taking 3 tablets over 2 days started to experience severe stomach pain and random stabbing sensations throughout lower abdomen. Also having some weird tingling feelings in my muscles. This is worse than the original infection! Have stopped immediately and am shocked after reading these comments, I just hope I've caught it in time and by only taking three I haven't got any lasting damage. I will considerably research taking any other drugs in the future. Good luck to all effected here, hoping for your speedy recoveries. | M | 21 | 2 days 500 2X day | 4/20/2010 | 1 | U T I | After my fourth dose I woke up in the middle of the night and my legs felt like sausages numb and swollen. Tendons became tight as if they were goint to rupture 2 days later I got a burning sensation on left side of head wich caused electrical heat sensations down my arms spine and up my head.

I also experienced anxiousness, and feeling "blue" for a couple of days after stopping med. | F | 45 | 2 days 35mg 3X day | 10/12/2010 | 1 | Bladder Infection | Worst experience of my life. I got off it after day 2 due to panic, anxiety, throbbing, felt like i was on caffiene x about 100 times that, could not sleep at all for 2 nights because I was so anxious, and worst of all the leg surges in my right calf muscle. And, 2 days later I'm off this and I'm still getting these horrible heat surges in my right calf muscle. I feel like someone was trying to poison me by me taking this. Stay away from this drug if you can, not worth it to chance this horrible state I'm in. | Stay away. It is the worst experience of my life. Worse than giving birth. | F | 36 | 2 days 500MG 2X day | 9/16/2010 | 1 | UTI/Prostititis | I had been subscribed Cipro several times 8 years ago for UTI/Prostititis issues. I had some side effects back then but never associated them with the drug. In June of this year, I was once again perscribed Cipro for Prostititis. On the second day, I experienced significant and severe abdominal cramps and spine pain. I stopped taking it. My doctor then put me on doxycycline and an NSAID (Nuproxen) I found out that was the worst thing anyone can do, from additional research it maximizes the side effects of Ciprofloxacin. Three months after taking the last pill, I have had it all: Joint Paint, Tendon Pain, Cartilage and Tendon Popping, Insomnia, Myalgia type pains and sensations, Eye Pain, Headaches, Muscle Weakness and Stiffness, Numbness & Tingling, Tremors & Twitching, Cold Hands & Feet, Burning Sensations and the list goes on & on.... | If anyone has had success in detoxifying from this poison, please post what has worked for you. I pray that I can pull through this. Please, Please, Please......ONLY TAKE THIS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.... THE RISKS ARE TOO GREAT !! | M | 50 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 9/17/2010 | 1 | stomach infection | i felt i was on some Drug like meth or LSD .. the first 2 days after taking the drug I felt better ,but I lost appetite the 3rd day and felt light headed as if I'm drunk,hallucinations,panic attacks,anxiety,sevre gastric problems. | Well this drug is the worst I could ever have,I'm a tough guy and never had any problems untill I took this peace of crap,I was not knowing the side effects and blindly took this drug,and now I get light headed after having any dairy products,fullness in the stomach,cant concentrate,light headed ,dizzy feeling most of the time..its been 3 weeks and I just had 4 pills of 500 mg..darn I wish I knew how powerfull this drug is..I'd prefer to go with the ilness rather then going back to cipro. | M | 24 | 2 days 500 mg 2X day | 9/24/2010 | 1 | doctor wasn't even sure | severe diarrhea, confusion, memory damage | i only took the drug for 2 days because my husband really advised against it and I'm glad he did. the first night i woke up very disoriented and scared. then the next night i couldn't sleep til 3 am because i had such severe diarrhea. my bum still hurts from that and it was days ago. also i have been repeating my sentences for no reason at all subconsciencely and i believe it's because of this drug. NEVER take this, heed the warnings!! | F | 19 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 8/13/2010 | 1 | uti | day one was great. Woke up and touched my foot to the floor and knew something was wrong. Took a total of 4 pills. Pharmacist told me to stop- and call doc. I went straight to the health food store and will cure my uti with herbs and cranberry juice. In the meantime, what to do but pray about my sore foot and ankle. NEVER again. | F | 54 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 8/18/2010 | 1 | bladder infection | Strong headaches, higher blood pressure, heart beat went from 60 to 80 - tingling in fingers and toes - insomnia | M | 56 | 2 days 2X day | 7/24/2010 | 1 | Precautionary post-surgery med | Lips swelled up, awful anxiety and negative thoughts, abdominal pain, nausea | I was prescribed these as a precautionary post-surgery treatment (gynae). I have never felt so ill....initially I thought my toothpaste had done something to my gums and mouth, it felt like someone had put a mini rubber-ring around my lips. Woke this morning with awful depression and anxiety, shaking like a leaf. Have eaten a pasty and small pie in nearly three days, no appetite, feel sick all the time, abdominal cramps. Just awful medicine, thank God I can't take it thanks to the reaction rather than having to try it again. | F | 35 | 2 days 500 2X day | 7/8/2010 | 1 | UTI | stiffness and pain | The second day of taking cipro I was walking and a shot of pain ran up my leg all of sudden my leg went stiff. I laid down for the rest of the night and woke up the next morning with my leg still stiff. Everytime I try to straighten my leg to walk straight I have pain behind my knee and my leg remains feeling stiff. I walk around with a limp and now my doctor advised for me to discontinue cipro and gave me crutches. Now researching and reading about cipro I have told my loved ones never to use this drug. | F | 27 | 2 days 250mg 2X day | 7/20/2010 | 1 | UTI | Joint pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness | This medicine ruined my life. After just 3 doses I could barley walk. It's been six months and the doctors still don't know what's wrong and deny this drug had anything to do with the weakening of my joints. I was healthy and active before this. I hope my future isn't in a wheelchair. | F | 22 | 2 days 500mg | 1/8/2017 |
