| 1 | Parasitic bacterial infection | I was initially misdiagnosed with a stomach virus and had to go back to the Doctor as I was extremely sick a week later. A second Doctor suggested that I may have a parasitic infection and prescribed CIPRO. After my second day, 4th pill, I started to feel tingling and burning sensations in both of my legs. I immediately stopped taking the pills and at this moment still feel weakness in both of my legs followed by occasional muscle spasms. I am praying that it won't get worse. | Do not take this drug if it prescribed to you, even though it did get rid of my infection. I am scared and worried that my body has now been poisoned as it feels different than before and I am an athletic 40 year old man in great shape. | M | 40 | 2 days 500 MG 2X D | 6/20/2014 | |

Update: I have been doing research as of late to see if I could find anything to counter the painful effects of Cipro and started taking a magnesium supplement which seems to have considerably helped stop the twitching and general weakness in my legs. I am feeling close to 100% again but am still aware of the unknown and long term effects that seem to be associated with Cipro. | M | 40 | 500 MG 1X D | 6/24/2014 | |
