 1  Respiratory infx Just a few hours after taking first dose my heart/pulse started racing causing anxiety. After 2nd dose same thing and went to the Er where the checked an ekg and basic labs and was diagnosed with Panic attack. After taking 4 doses this has been happening constantly, mild headache, no appetite and ridiculous anxiety. I hope the racing pulse and heart rate subsides and I can feel normal again, I've been having to take Ativan twice a day just to get through these side effects. I feel like fucking shit!! F 33 2 days

 1  Nosocomial UTI Had burning pain and weakness in my legs while on the drug, along with some mild fatigue and brain fog. About 3 months later I developed tendon pain, muscle pain, muscle weakness, muscle wasting (still progressing), problems focusing with my eyes, muscle twitching, difficulty staying asleep, bad headaches, peripheral vascular changes. This is a serious drug that seems to have ruined my capacity for intense exercise. I'm still concerned every single day about further developments, almost 4 months later. M 24 3 days

 1  Intestinal infection This drug caused a total breakdown of my body systems, I am still battling 15 years later. Psychiatric issues including depersonalization, paralyzingly anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, paranoia, complete misery. Global detioration of the connective tissue- joints, ligaments, cartilage all compromised. Chronic body pain, deep bone pain, migraines, deafening tinnitus, neuromuscular signal blocking, debilitating fatigue. I spent months on crutches with ruptured ligaments in both knees, the crutching damaged my shoulders. My Achilles was so injuredI could not even push the gas pedal in my car. Chronic insomnia, night sweats, total GI tract disruption, this is a nightmare. Took years to get back to functional. I would have been homeless if not for family support. The damage to my quality of life was so extreme I personally would die before using this drug again. This drug is very insidious, with damage occurring weeks and months post exposure. The medical profession is loathe to admit the drugs they commonly prescribe can do this. Thus, complaints after exposure are assigned another cause. I ended up having 3 exposures before an astute clinician put the puzzle together. It appears that a segment of the population with a mutation in the P450 channel of the liver are susceptible to problems, whereas others may take it without incident. Be very, very careful.

 1  UTI Took my first dose and experienced burning pains in my right foot 2 hrs. later which lasted all day. On finding out this is a 'severe side effect" I notified the prescribing MD. She said it was probably unrelated and to take the next dose as scheduled. I did so, and once again the pain came back, and not only did it not go away, it spread to my other foot. I called back and she changed the RX, but the damage had been done. Three years later, I still have that foot pain, the result of peripheral neuropathy induced by 2 doses of Cipro. I was one of the lucky ones. Since then I've heard of thousands of lives that have been ruined by this drug. Cipro is the Thalidomide of the 21st century and should be removed from the market.

 1  prostatitis Way too many to list. This medication has drastically changed my life. My life will never be the same. It has now been 3 years. Most of my damage came a year after I took the med but I know it is Cipro because I've researched it and I'm a pharmacist. NEVER EVER take this medication. You MAY get away with it but if you don't it will be a decision you will regret for the rest of your life. You will welcome death with open arms. It can cause IRREVERSABLE damage. Nobody can "fix" you if it is a severe reaction. It's only a matter of time before this drug is unmasked and the mitochondria killing chemotherapeutic agent is revealed. Part of the problem is that many can take it with little if any side effects. It's too bad that SO many people will be permanently damaged and lives altered because of drug company greed and FDA corruption. They know this drug is nasty but it will cut into the profit margin if appropriate warnings are included. The FDA is partially funded by...... drug companies...... M 40 14 days

 4  suspected prostate infection Mild, like any other antibiotic. Slight fatigue. It MAY seem like there are a lot of Cipro complaints. However when you consider that this antibiotic is prescribed like 15 million times per year, in the US alone, the percentage of complaints vs the amount of times prescribed is VERY small. M 40 7 days

 1   Well it's officially been FIVE YEARS since the criminals at Bayer "Healthcare" savagely ended my life via a mere 12 Cipro pills taken over the course of six days back in '09. Half a decade later and I remain 100% disabled, living my "life" in bed & enduring constant, unrelenting body-wide pain. I am still in shock that this happened to me, and am constantly amazed that I somehow remain above ground. What a LIVING NIGHTMARE this has been. I cannot wait for it to end. If you are on the fence about ingesting Cipro, let me assure you: IT'S NOT WORTH IT. Death is preferable to what this poison is capable of unleashing on you. You don't have to take my word for it--just hit up Google and you'll have no problem finding the horror stories from countless people from all around the world who've had their lives ravaged by this poison masquerading as an antibiotic. Also be aware that Cipro can turn on you at any time--just because you've taken it in the past with no noticeable adverse effects does NOT mean you'll have the same luck going forward. It doesn't work that way. I truly wish nothing but death & destruction for every last employee at Bayer. Toss in the corrupt a-holes at the FDA who approved this poison, and who choose to turn their heads to its aftermath. They are all murderers, and I hope that they suffer terribly sooner rather than later. www.ciproispoison.com M 35 6 days

 1  Possible UTI Pain in feet, fingers, back, neck, shoulder, electrifying feeling in heels. Like being charged with a car battery. Red eyes, inability to walk very far, like maybe 50 yards. It's been over a year and still suffering the same issues and not getting better. Only can rest in bed as even sitting causes pain after awhile. Standing worst of all. My ear sometimes feels stuffed and I hear heartbeats in it. I have issues sleeping, terrible depression, feelings of suicide. I take medication and have sensitivities I never had before, etc... I never knew I would have such viscious side effects... This is probably a drug that is less safe than bath salts. I would rather inhale bath salts for 35 days than take this drug. I think it would be safer. M 37 35 days

 1  Uti I was given this drug for a UTI after completing the first day and about to start the second day on pill 3 I noticed my jaw, gums and throat on the left side on my face started to hurt badly. I thought I was having an allergic reaction so I didn't take anymore even though I wAs prescribed 14 pills two for each day. In total I only took two and it has been two days since I stopped but I still have this severe pain. I hope it goes away it makes smiling eating and talking unbearable. F 23 2 days
