 2  Uti, unknown illnesses Have uti and other possible illness. Walk-in clinic prescribed cipro because it's very strong. 1st dose, 30 minutes after, felt like crawling out of my skin and body. Very shaky and restlessness. Urges to kick and twitch. (I do have Tourettes) makes my tics worse. I only took 2 but I'm afraid it's too late, I'm stopping it. I've had other uti medications and never had any issues before. This cipro is pretty serious Some love it, some nearly died from it. M 41 1 days

 1  Gastrointestinal problem Had a gastrointestinal problem for months, decided to do a consultation with an online doctor. Doctor prescribed me this and at first I have no idea what it is. Until I took one pill, and when I was about to sleep I felt a jolting sensation several times. I've never had any problems with meds before until this time. The next morning I decided (thankfully) to look this antibiotics up and found out about the horrible side effects that might occur, and I stopped taking it. Funny how something this dangerous is not really known for having dangerous side effects in my country. 2 days later I have a little bit of a trouble sleeping, and also my legs and hands feels a little bit sore. Alhamdulillah thanks to God I did not endure other terrifying side effects. DO NOT TAKE IT unless you really really really need to, or you're dying. I don't know what would happen to me if I continue to take this antibiotics for 7 days as prescribed by the doctor. Ask for a substitute antibiotics. Wishing that everyone who has been floxed, a speedy recovery. M 20 1 days

 1  Thought I had uti Constant diarrhea, nerve pain, anxiety I have taken fluorquinolones before but this was too much. I had been taking amitriptyline for insomnia and nerve pain, started this for suspected uti and it was like being shot with a stun gun. Now have nerve pain,, peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, anxiety, weight loss, extreme depression. If you are dying this might be worth it but caused me a year of pain and still going. F 63 1 days
