| 1 | Prostatitis | I was diagnosed with prostatitis and given Cipro for 30 days. I made it through 21 days of treatment before the side effects nearly crippled me. At day 21, I began to experience pain in my right elbow and ankle. I stopped taking Cipro immediately. Over the next two weeks, tendinitis spread to every joint in my body - literally from my ankles to my jaw. I went from being healthy and active to unable to walk 30 feet without excruciating pain. It has been 3 months and I'm happy to report that I've made a 90% recovery. I still have tendinitis in both of my elbows, but the other joints seem to be ok at this point. I would not recommend this drug as a first line therapy under any circumstance and will never take another antibiotic in this class as long as I live. I'm not a medical doctor, but I believe Cipro should only be used as an absolute last resort in a life or death situation. | M | 35 | 4 weeks 500 MG x 2 | 2/2/2014 | 1 | pseudomona aeruginosa in my lungs | Always worked out at the gym.Did squats all the way down with bar bell.After taking ciproflaxin started having joint pain and tendinitis in my wrist and shoulder.Extremely painful.Was also prescribed by my pulmonary Dr Levoquin off and on for almost a year | F | 53 | 2 months 750 mg | 1/26/2014 | 1 | Kidney Infection | After being on 250 mg for 10 days, by my GP, I began to feel a tightness within the arch of my right foot, I was sent to follow up with a Urologist, who decided to increase the Cipro to 500mgs for an additional 5 days, within an hour of the first 500mg dose,my world spiraled out of control. Both my left,and right foot turned inward at the ankles and contracted like they were shriveling up, the tendons felt like piano wires that were so tight they were about to snap. The same thing happened in my hamstring area behind both knees, my hip flexor area, Groin, and my right hand closed with excruciating pain, the tendons in my palm were so tight I could not open my hand without fear of snapping something. On a scale of 1-10 The "Terror factor" was 12 as I felt tendons contracting and tightening, waiting for a sudden snap. I had NO IDEA what was happening to my body. The worst part was trying to get help: I contacted My General Practitioner telling him what was going on, and what sh | Cipro is on the "FDA BLACK BOX LIST" which is in small letters on the prescription packaging . I usually don't read because I trusted my doctor too much in him not giving me something that could adversely destroy my health. Yeah, My Kidney infection is gone, but so is my ability to ever walk without a cane or make a fist . Cipro is a Terror drug, its symptoms seem to return every time you eat infected beef, or dairy products, Because Its synthetic, nano remnants of Cipro remain in the body increasing relapse with the same side effects months later out of nowhere, I eventually realized that my tendons in my right ankle area had disintegrated. Only after this I was told to combat the Cipro by taking "Ionized Magnesium" which was helping with the other tendinitis like effects from this poisonous quinolone. The FDA has to stop pandering to the Drug Companies and Take this Poison off the Market NOW! Let it be known to those of you out there who were "Floxed" by Cipro,- that the Beef and Dairy Industry uses Cipro, and other "Quinolones" to combat bacterial infections in the treatment of 'cow utter disease' in the dairy industry, and "hoof and mouth, and other infections in the beef industry. Quinolones do not cook off when you prepare food, -You get sick all over again with the symptoms every time you eat infected meat, or dairy products from infected cows. AVOID CIPRO, And it's other names within the "Quinolone" list. | M | 49 | 12 days 250&500 2X day | 1/23/2014 | 1 | Misdiagnosed UTI | I was misdiagnosed with a UTI and prescribed Cipro(POISON). Excruciating pain in my elbows, muscle spasms, possible peripheral neuropathy, and extreme anxiety. I am otherwise very relaxed, but this crap has me on the edge of my seat with worry. Its been 2 days since I've been off this poison, and all I can do is hope that it gets better soon. I am healthy and very active, and I can't afford to be crippled by some pharmaceutical crap that should not exist in the first place. I will NEVER take it again and either should anyone. The folks at Bayer and the pharma reps must have no souls because they know the side effects, but don't care about people and only care about profits. The American Medical industry sickens me and is no doubt run by evil creatures that don't deserve to be called humans. How they can allow this stuff to be on the market is beyond words, and every one of those creatures should be put in prison or better yet, forced to take the drug themselves. | I only took it for two days and luckily I found this website with all these accounts of adverse affects. I stopped taking it immediately and threw the rest of it in the garbage where it belongs.On the second day of dosage I went to the gym with a buddy of mine and the next day I started experiencing odd pain in my elbow joints. I have attributed it to lifting weights, and possible tennis elbow. I hope so much thats all it is. Last night I experienced such intense burning pain in my elbows it woke me up. It was some of the worst pain I have ever felt. Please whatever you do, NEVER TAKE CIPRO and I mean NEVER. There are plenty of other AB's out there and natural remedies for most ailments. I wish I had done more research before ingesting this poison. I am trying to remain positive about the situation as I am strong willed and have a great passion for life. I will never let it take that from me. I am way too young to have problems like this, and please do your best to avoid this drug at ALL COSTS | M | 22 | 2 days 500mg 1X day | 1/18/2014 | 1 | UTI | I am absolutely overwhelmed with the onset of pain in the following joints: elbows, wrists, shoulders, knees & ankles - especially the left Achilles Tendon. I have pain and fatigue in my biceps, triceps, forearms, shoulders and back. I am experiencing shooting nerve pain through 1/2 of my right hand, as well as both forearms and right thigh. I am athletic and normally physically fit, however I am exhausted and debilitated by the simplest of activities. | Absolutely horrified about this antibiotic, especially after doing intensive research over the past several weeks. I will never allow myself to be put on this again and will do what I can to keep others from suffering also! | F | 42 | 10 days 500 2X day | 1/17/2014 | 1 | UTI | I am experiencing intense hip pain after taking Cipro. I started doing my own research after taking 4 doses and I am in shock. I pray I have not done irreversible damage by taking this medicine. I am waiting for my Dr. to return my call. I refuse to ever take this or any drug in its family again. I feel so sorry for the lives that have been forever changed by this poison! | Do not take this! The cons outweigh the pros! | F | 24 | 2 days 500 mg 2X day | 1/8/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection and or respiratory | A few days after taking the full prescription I developed skin lessions on my hands and forearms. Reddish purple blister in streaks and spots and then the epidermal , thin outer layer of skin would split apart and ooze, No itching or paid just alot of skabs lessions on hands and forearms. Noticing its taking along time to head and looks like it my scar, 58 year old male. | wont take it again | M | 58 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 1/8/2014 | 1 | unconfirmed bacterial infection | F | 37 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 1/5/2014 Patient History | 1 | Uti | Burning in legs arms and wrists. Some pain in right ankle. Pain in wrists. Moderate pain on left leg when stand too long. Possible tendonitis. Took 3 pills and stopped bc of burning feelings. Worst drug ever. Been two weeks and some days symotoms better and other days worse. Will post again if any new changes better or worse. | F | 33 | 2 days 500 mg | 12/17/2013 | 1 | cipro | Who would EVER think I've taken this and now it is thinking perfect sense. I have had UTI's on and off from May 30th 2013 to current December 2013. Occurrence DaVinci robotic surgery for hysterectomy due to cancer. I have had more urinary infections then I can imagine tomorrow I go for a MRI with contrast. I'm going to bring this up to my doctor and find out what's going on. I am appalled on what I've been reading. I get muscle spasms starting at my feet going at my legs and been thinking it was from an injury years ago but as I look on to the current it's been getting worse since I've been on antibiotics. I've never taken any , therapy or radiationas the cancer doctor stated they got it. I was overdose in the hospital 3 times I have my medical records. That's pretty sickening my name put somebody else drugs in your veins and then write stupid report that they had to inject me as I was afraid to do it myself. I was very aware I just could not live I was so out of it. So they figure they can counter act and write a stupid report that I feared doing it so they did it for me. If I would have been able to get up and out of the bed I would have ran their necks. Back to the point of cipro. It is a disgusting situation that I am now going to look into. I got the information off of youtube from a man who stated that cipro has almost killed him. I am afraid to take most antibiotics I do take probiotics 85 billion per pill I make sure I take them 2 per day at the same time. I have lost | F | 54 | 10 days 100 mg | 12/16/2013 | 1 | UTI | Pain in joints. Blurry vision. About 20 different side effects. I felt like my body was shutting down. | M | 49 | 6.5 days 500 2X day | 11/29/2013 | 3 | UTI | I was prescribed this drug for a UTI. I had taken it in the distant past for sinusitis with no problem, and this time, I had no major problems until Day 6, aside from some minor dizziness here and there. On Day 6, though, I suddenly developed heart palpitations, accompanied by profuse sweating (while shaking like a leaf), and numbness/tingling in my left foot and left hand. Scary stuff! I have two pills left as I was supposed to take this for 7 days, but I will not be taking them! | I never read the side effects when I am prescribed a drug, because if something occurs I want to rule out the psychosomatic. So I had no idea, until I developed major symptoms, of what the known side effects even were. I immediately checked, though, and lo and behold, everything I experienced is listed. Thankfully, I didn't get the muscle pains or permanent muscle damage that some others did (at least not yet). Hopefully, 6 days was long enough to cure my UTI. | F | 56 | 6 days 500 MG 2X day | 11/25/2013 | 1 | Suspected UTI/ Misdiagnosed | Nausea and Headache Pins and needles in feet / ankles, progressing upwards to knees Pins and needs in hands Shooting/ Stabbing pain in toes and fingertips Shooting pain in elbow and left shoulder | All this after taking 2 days. The Pins and needles started the day after I finished taking them and have persisted (8 days later) The GP doesn't seem concerned at all, I've been to see numerous amounts of pharmacists for their opinions - they too have never come across this before. Starting to get worried about this now. I'm a triathlete and now worried about running due to making this worse. How much longer will this goes on for?? I've warned my wife not to take this drug, as I believe there are safe alternatives out there. Very annoyed at GP as I didn't even have an infection but was given to me as precaution -Now the doctors don't even want to know! Even my wife is starting to think it's all in my head.. very strange drug and potentially very dangerous according to other reviews out there too.. | M | 30 | 2 days 500MG 2X day | 11/25/2013 | 1 | Influenza | Partially dissolved 6 tendons in my legs, still some what crippled 7 months later. | To help all with these terrible side effects, a combination of collagen, vitamins especially C, amino acids with minerals is helping me. Have been taking some for 7 months, but collagen for only about 2 months. | M | 59 | 5 days 500 2X day | 11/23/2013 | 1 | Uti | EXTREME burning in the vaginal area that wasn't yeast or bacteria, extreme fatigue and dizziness. Random pains and muscle twitching. It's been 4 wks and burning is gone but still weak, dizzy, stomach upset etc. DO NOT take this class of drugs!!! They are terrible. I'm terrified. I've taken it many times before unaware of side effects til now. | F | 35 | 2 days 500mg 2xd | 10/30/2013 | 1 | diverticulitis | pain numbness tingling in feet can hardly walk. pain in hands | F | 57 | 5 months 500 3X day | 10/28/2013 | 1 | Flu | Beware of this drug! This drug should be removed from the market, and every person who promotes this drug should be locked up in prison for life. This drug is one of the most dangerous drugs in the entire world -- to be used in life or death situations only -- yet my doctor prescribed this to me for the simple flu. Now I can no longer walk without pain, and on the good days, my legs are completely numb so I can't feel the pain because I can't feel my legs. All of the joints in my body now have arthritis, and I can barely pick up a pencil without pain. This drug turned into an old man at only 40 years old. Any doctor who prescribes this to you is a criminal! | Beware of this drug!

Any doctor who prescribes this to you is a criminal! | M | 40 | 5 days 250 MG 2X day | 10/26/2013 | 1 | Today marks 4 YEARS since I lost my life to Cipro. I took just 12 pills over the course of six days for a suspected UTI and have been completely crippled ever since. I have now spent exactly 1,461 days "living" in bed, as I am no longer able to walk. I'd just turned 30 years old when I was poisoned. Today I'm 34, on disability (keep paying your taxes--I depend on you!) and am back living with my parents. Life as I once knew it is so far gone that I can barely even remember what it felt like to be alive. Every day for me is the exact same & it is both mentally and physically torturous. I'm amazed that I haven't killed myself. No words can begin to describe the HELL that Cipro is capable of unleashing on the human body. | If you at all value your body, your health, your mobility, your independence & your quality of life: STAY FAR, FAR AWAY from Cipro and all other antibiotics in its class! They can and do cripple previously healthy individuals for life. My doctor conveniently omitted that fact when he prescribed me Cipro, and yours will too. The FDA is fully aware of what this drug is doing to people and yet they turn a blind eye. The criminals at Bayer Pharmaceuticals deserve death for what they are knowingly doing to the unsuspecting public with this poison. They are murderers. You can read my complete story & learn the TRUTH about Cipro by visiting my website:ciproispoison.com | M | 34 | 1X day | 10/25/2013 | 1 | Unconfirmed UTI | LIFE CHANGING ANTIBIOTIC FOR THE WORSE!! After two days on this drug, I experienced intense muscle pain, tendinitis, peripheral neuropathy, twitching muscles, insomnia, and heart palpitations. I was fortunate enough to stop taking this drug immediately after experiencing toxicity because many have been disabled for life. Go online and read all the stories. They are heartbreaking. Two months later, I still have mild neuropathy and can't do more than light walking. My diet is heavily restricted and I spend way too much money on supplements and doctor visits. My doctor never should have prescribed this antibiotic for an unconfirmed UTI. The medical community has been misled and deceived by the floraquinolone drug reps about its safety, which is very unfortunate for all of us. | F | 37 | 2 days 250MG 2X day | 10/16/2013 | 1 | Diarrhea | Hives all over the body appeared within one hour of taking the fist pill. I stopped using Cipro after the first pill. | It took 24 hours until my hives were gone. | F | 29 | 1 days 500mg 2X day | 10/9/2013 |
