 1  Medically provable non-existant UTI It made my heart feel like it was going to stop, so much so I had to be taken off it after 2 days. It also caused agitation and confusion. And I have had heart palpatations since taking it, which is now 5 years and counting. Also, when I picked up my medical records from a physical I'd been given the day prior to being forced to take this by a doctor who was partners with another doctor whose now been arrested by the FBI for harming and killing many patients for profit (in other words, a very unethical doctor), those medical records showed proof I did NOT have a UTI. My point is, unethical doctors do know this is a very dangerous, and possibly lethal, drug. And they've known it since at least 2009. F 45 2 days

 1  UTI After 3 1/2 months still have horrible Achilles' tendon pain. Used to be a runner , but Cipro has almost completely stopped that for me . Prescribing doctor discounts the side effects and thinks it is solely caused by running. She is not a runner! Have referral now for physical therapy. Will never take Cipro or Levaquin again! I used to be completely healthy and felt great . Now feel 90 years old just trying to get out of bed. F 43 7 days

 1  Mucus in stool Extreme dizziness, muscle fatigue, peripheral nerve damage as though my equilibrium was damaged. Could barely walk, think, or talk in normal capacity. Tingling in hands and feet, pain in both feet, left shoulder, tendons feel like piano cords. Severe tinnitus in both ears, anxiety like panic attacks. Emotionally unstable, thoughts of suicide, and feel the damage is irreversible. Two days after taking one 500 MG I had already been planning for my last drive to the woods swan song . Had to go the ER on Sunday blood and urine test and both came back good. Most severe confusion and clumsiness I've ever dealt with.Took the medication back to the pharmacy and told them to take this off the shelf immediately, and that it kills people. He laughed at me and said they prescribe this more than any other drug. Clearly they have not been educated about how serious this debilitating drugs can affect people. Been taken off work due to this and unable to perform normal activity. Also a couple hours ag After learning more about this the Pharmaceutical companies need to make sure that whom ever prescribe this give a full and complete warning of possible and serious side effects. Three days since taking it I have to have co-workers pick me up and drive me to my appointments. Every day since I took one pill I hope and pray I'll wake up better, but nothing yet. Four days ago I was able to bench press 375 lbs easy and was running 2 miles a day 5 days a week. I'm a 34 year old fit muscular male. I'm 6'1' 230 lbs everybody knows me as the machine, and an absolute work horse, today I couldn't even do 5 push ups. I had to walk two blocks back and forth to the clinic twice today and that was just about all I could do. Good thing I have great friends they picked me up and took me where I needed to go. This life stopping pill should be completely removed from innocent people. After this experience, and if I come away from this and get back to normal, I will devote my time to making sure this poison gets removed from the market. Any person who gets prescribed Cipro please read this and understand that it can ruin your whole life.If you go to the doctor about these symptoms they will completely ignore what you say and leave you feeling helpless. Thus because they just go with what they know, or what they are lead to believe. The doctors are not to blame, the companies that make this stuff need to wake the fuck up a realize that one is not for all. In conclusion Cipro or any other Floroq M 34 1 days

 2  Gonorrhea I've noticed during and after taking this medication that I haven't been feeling my best. Immediately after I had a loss of appetite, nausea, dizziness, extreme fatigue, depression, very gassy, diarrhea and sort of a burning feeling in my arms. My doctor told me to take probiotics to balance out my digestive tract. Not sure if it will fix everything else. They made it seem as though these side effects are rare. It also triggers my anxiety a whole lot more. F 21 3 days

 1  Suspected UTI Experienced loss of hearing in right ear, tingling in extremities, chills, dizziness, sleeplessness, headaches and sharp pains all around the body including aching joints. Never had such a bad reaction to an antibiotic. I was prescribed this lethal medicine for 14 days, but had to stop on just day 6. Informed my MD straight away and he said that it was the right thing to do considering the severe reaction. I just hope that the aches and pains in my body will subside and my hearing returns back to normal. M 43 6 days

 1  UTI Took this drug one time had horrible headache, fingers tingling , eyes burning, stiff neck, knees hurt, foggy feeling, crying. Just 1 250 dose. Dr said to stop taking it ordered Bactrim now terrified to take that because of this experience. Still feelings effects today. Left arm hurts, wrist hurts, tips of fingers feel different. Hear cracking in bones now. My mind is back at least, that was a very weird and scary experience. Some can handle this drug but not for me and glad I stopped after 1 dose because the damage could have been worse. Listen to your body. F 45 1 days

 1  suspected infection after surgery could not stand or walk, had to use a wheelchair for 6 months, autonomic nervous system dysfunction. muscle and joint pain, vision deterioration. burning pain from nerve damage. there was not one part of me that this drug did not affect. It has been a living nightmare. That I am still going through... PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS POISON! They give this out for minor infections, or like me for no infection at all. These drugs are last resort drugs, and even then after what has happened to me, I'd take my chances. It is criminal that these pharmaceutical co.s get away with doing this to people. I pray everyday to have my life back. Don't make the same mistake I did. F 41 3 days

 1  Uti Prescribed for uti 500 mg ciprofloxacin 1 pill every 12 hours. I took the pill with food, and drank enough water in one day that my pee turned close to clear within a few hours. I'd been told to avoid sun and stop taking my daily vitamins. I followed every instruction to the t. Within hours of the first and only pill I got extremely cold, had tooth pain, then became overly exhausted which worsened through the evening, aches that made me want to cry. Then my joints started cracking like when I'd move my fingers or lift my knee. Felt like the worst flu I'd ever had. I didn't take the next pill. That happened within the first and only pill on Friday evening. Today, Monday, my right knee where I have a floating knee cap (but hasn't really hurt since I was young) flared up like the dickens. I have random shooting pains in my arms and legs. Lightly sore like getting over a cold or sleeping too long. I started taking my daily vitamin again today. Treating the uti with d-mannose and garlic. Avoiding all but water and was already avoiding naisd's (actually all meds) even prior to prescription. Hoping to heal, these stories seem tragic.

Woke me out of a dead sleep with my legs feeling like they were on fire. Was very anxious while on this antibiotic so I didn't sleep well to begin with. Caused hypoglycemia. This drug replaced my horrible pain from the UTI with horrible side effects. Stopped taking this after only four days. Will never take this medicine again! F 39 10 days

 1  Urinary tract infection Two hours after taking my first dose, I got burning pain in my right foot which lasted into the evening. On finding out this was a potential severe side effect, I called the on-call doctor who told me side effects with Cipro were rare and I should probably take my next dose as scheduled. When the dr. who prescribed it returned the following morning, I told her what happened, and she said the same thing. So I took the next dose as scheduled and 2 hours later the pain came back and did not go away. She switched me to Bactrim but the damage was done. Over the next few weeks the pain spread up the leg to my calf and achilles tendon, then to the other leg.. I also had popping of my knee joints, and during the first few weeks after taking the Cipro I also had panic attacks and crying spells. Took the better part of 2 years before I had any improvement. I still have the nerve pain in my feet. Two years of painful side effects from just TWO doses of this drug. After doing research I found out I was one of the lucky ones, I could have been incapacitated for life. This drug is the 21st century's thalidomide and should be banned immediately. M 54 1 days

 1  uti Central and peripheral Nervous System, tendons, ligaments. Neuropathies all over, really painful, and disabling experience. My legs withered within 2 months, and my foot flopped 4 days later after the 3rd & last pill. Severe stabbing nerve pains in my arms, temperature problems from one leg to the other. Endless things manifesting over several months then at one year still more. I did my research, I am very knowledgeable about this class of drugs. Criminal. Watch American Addict the documentary, or PBS NEWS HOUR " Certain Antibiotics Spur Widening Reports of Severe Side Effects" Honestly, there is no one person who could fathom the severity of these drugs...because it is that bad. This is truly a act of treason to approve a class of drugs that is so destructive & not inform the medical community about what it is, and does!! All these people being tortured, maimed,...for the profit of these corporations! I have been through a very challenging experience. I am deeply grateful to be able to walk and stand again, and buy my groceries, and clean my house, and walk into a mall on hard cement. Anyone who would like to learn about non pharmaceutical treatments I received, you are welcome to email me. There is no magic potion, but the treatment I got, turned things around and that is worth sharing with others. This would be for those that are disabled, like I was. Neurological issues, CNS, peripheral nerves & tendons/ arms, legs, standing walking. God Bless and stay faithful...do not give up. F 50 2 days
