| 2 | Sinusitis | Sleeplessness and then when I did sleep - horrendous nightmares! At one point, thought I had died! | F | 42 | 10 days | 9/18/2004 | 3 | supposed septic bursitis of elbow | dizziness, heartburn that was awful, dark stools, feeling | I don't like it. | F | 40 | 9 days | 9/13/2004 | 3 | recurrent sinusitis | DEBILITATING FATIGUE! Stomach pain, rib cage pain, muscle fatigue, extreme drowsiness, weight gain. I have been so fatigued, light headed and dizzy, it has frightened me! | side effects began about 4 days after beginning the prescription, will only take this again if I have no other options, since I sing professionally, I had to wipe out the sinus infection, but for nonsinger, the infection is better than the cure with cipro!!! | F | 41 | 10 days | 9/12/2004 | 1 | urinary tract infection | severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, sweating heavily, nausea | will never take again, was sicker from the meds than the uti | F | 50 | 14 days | 9/7/2004 | 2 | Prostatitis | Nausea, fatigue, muscle aches and depression. Mood is quite depressed and everything feels like a struggle. | It is fighting the prostate infection, but the drug seems to be fighting me as well. Hard to withstand the side effects. | M | 55 | 20 days | 9/4/2004 | 1 | Urinary tract infection | severe chest & neck pain, tingling in arms, extreme fatigue & weakness, sharp abdominal cramping | I started feeling these horrible side-effects within the first day of taking Cipro. I went to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack. The ER docs said my heart was fine, and that I must have a case of gastritis, and to keep taking the Cipro to clear up the UTI. They did not recognize that I was having an allergic reaction to the Cipro! Needless to say, I was back in the ER the very next day with even more severe chest pain that spread to my neck and down my arms. A week later, I still have some chest pain, shooting pains all over my body, and tingling in my arms. I will NEVER take this drug again. | F | 24 | 3 days | 8/3/2004 | 1 | prostatitis | constant nausea, burning in stomach joint ache in all joints | worst i have ever felt in my life. have been off cipro for 6 months and the joint pain has not diminished. i am not the same man i was before taking the drug | M | 58 | 14 days | 7/20/2004 | 1 | Urinary tract infection | malaise,severe rib cage pain,insomnia,blurred vision,rash,muscle and join pain and weakness,chills,loss of appetite | It did cure the uti, but I would never again subject my body to such severe and disabling side effects. | F | 74 | 7 days | 6/24/2004 | 1 | prostatitis | During: mild tinnitus, oversensitivity towards sounds After: (5 weeks after ending course): severe, disabling joint pain (both knees and hips). After 1 Year not much improvement. Sensitive to smells ( mild MCS>>multiple chemical sensitivity) Might need artificial joints at the age of 23! | Advice to everyone: Do NEVER take Cipro (or Tequin, or Levaquin, or Floxin, Factive) UNLESS you are on the brink of dying. Quinolones cause damage to joint cartilage ( in adults and kids). This drug has ruined my life. | M | 23 | 14 days | 6/10/2004 | 1 | sinusitis | Bizarre almost psychotic mental confusion. Called an all night pharmacy with the 2 or 3 still functioning brain cells. Pharmacist told me to STOP taking it & read me the list of side effects. | This drug is horrible and scary.I stopped after the second pill. Never again. And never experienced anything like it with any other meds. | F | 51 | 1 days | 6/4/2004 | 2 | M | 3 days | 5/17/2004 | 1 | UTI | dizzyness, numb lips, severe rash on hands and forehead, confusion, rapid heartbeat and vomiting | Just horrible almost had to go to the ER and it turned out I didn't even have a bacterial infection anyways. Took about 4 days before the symptoms went away. My cardio fitness still hasn't recovered and I stopped taking it 2 months ago. Walking up a flight of stairs almost kills me now | M | 4 days | 5/12/2004 | 2 | BLADDER INFECTION | ALLERGIC REACTION. RASH ON EXTREMITIES. | ON TREATMENT FOR BLADDER CANCER. CONCURRENTLY WITH CHEMOTHERAPY. I JUST FOUND OUT I COULD NOT TAKE ALMOST ANY VITAMIN OR MINERAL( OR SOME OF THEM) | M | 75 | 1 days | 5/4/2004 | 1 | Kidney infection | Tingling in fingers and toes. Chills and fever 18 hours a day. Mild joint pain. Rash on 10th(last)day. | Physician didn't think I was allergic until the rash appeared. I write this on the 10th day...I'll see what happens. | M | 42 | 10 days | 4/22/2004 | 1 | urinary tract infection | Severe joint and muscle pains especially in lower back and thigh which began two weeks after treatment and have lasted more than two weeks after. Hurts to walk, to sit , stand, move. Also in knees and neck. Urinary tract infection appears to have cleared though. | I would seek a safer alternative if I had known this could happen. Read that it destroys cartilege in weigh bearing joints. | M | 60 | 5 days | 4/13/2004 | 1 | Food Poison | My father (94) was prescribed CIPLOX in India. Within two days, he developed symptoms like heart attack. The doctors there could not identify this as a reaction. Instead, they put him on several heart medications. When this caused his prostate problems to worsen, they prescribed a tube and Levoday (another quinolone family). Within a week, he died due to Kidney failure. | Doctors in India have no clue about the potency of the drugs, their reactions, proper doses, etc. | M | 94 | 3 days | 4/12/2004 | 1 | Sinus Infection | nausea, vomiting, severe joint pain | It was the worst experience of my life.

The cellulitus continued to spread resulting in a emergency hospital visit where an different antibiotic was administered thru an IV. | This medication's side effect was a severe headache. | M | 57 | 3 days | 1/7/2003 |
