1 | possible infection | This drug is Poison. Insomnia was terrible. I was up for days without sleep which didn't help my rundown body. Started to get itchy all over. I decided to listen to my wife and get off after only 5 days and go the natural route. This drug is terrible ... don't let your doc try to convince you otherwise. | M | 28 | 5 days 500mg | 5/29/2013 | 2 | UTI | First let me start with saying that I have an anxiety disorder. My UTI didn't clear up on another drug so the doctor tried Cipro. I had been feeling tired after sleeping and Cipro really seemed to help on the first day. My energy was back and I was doing chores. However, had a panic attack on day 2 and nervous and agitated on day 3. Doctor said to discontinue. Again, I already had anxiety, Cirpo seemed to make it worse. | F | 46 | 3 days 250 MG 2X day | 5/26/2013 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Systemic Tendinopathy within 24 hours of first dose. Bilateral Achilles Tendinitis. Peripheral neuropathy in left index finger. Ringing in ears. | 10 weeks later, I have had to cut back on my work (personal trainer) and am unable to exert myself in activities of daily living without tendon inflammation. I have no idea if these symptoms will resolve in a year or if this will be with me for the rest of my life (or if it will get worse). Cipro has saved lives, but it should be a drug of last resort - the price I am paying is too high :-( | F | 49 | 2 days 500 mg 2X day | 5/24/2013 | 1 | Cough | Terrible burning of muscles, joint pain, numbness, groin pain, hip and back pain. Absolutely horrendous side effects and still suffering even 8 weeks after stopping this medication. I can't drive, sit in a chair for long without developing pain which means I can't go to work. | Only take this antibiotic if absolutely essential and there are no alternatives. | F | 47 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 5/19/2013 | 1 | UTI | I did not have time to develop side-effects (yet) and was lucky enough to not be allergic and have a full-blown reaction. However I have stopped taking the medicine after one pill only (250mg) and getting informed on this horrible poison. I am all about organic and healthy living and stay far from all medication possible, but after being diagnosed with a UTI for the first time in my life at 30 years old I was a little worried. However, I was lucky enough to find this website before maybe/possibly ruining my health forever. Definitely hope I will not be affected by this single one time intake and suggest anyone with a UTI to get homeopathic treatment with D-mannose and magnesium supplements if you have already been affected by damage from cipro. Avoid fluoride in any shape or form at all cost, boycott pharmaceuticals today!!!! All is in the nature to heal us, let's make it happen!

SAVE THE WORLD | F | 30 | 3 days 250mg 2X day | 5/17/2013 | 1 | Influenza | One month after dosage ended it attacked my tendons from the waist down in both legs. The most severe pain I have ever endured, currently it resides in my left Achilles tendon, which hopefully won't "Pop". No one should ever take Cipro! | M | 58 | 10 days 1X day | 5/16/2013 | 1 | for an Ear Infection | It was BAD. I felt like u could NOT lift my arm I only took it for two day and I WILL NEVER take it again... it feels like I am weak and cabt move its was really scary.. my anxiety really took ovee me when I took this medicine.. it was really like an OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE.. I WILL NEVER TOUCH THIS MEDICINE AND I WOULD ADVISE NO ONE TO EVER TAKE IT.. ITS NOT WORTH IT | F | 26 | 1 days 500 mg | 5/8/2013 | 5 | conjunctivitis strep throat | None really... a little bit of sleepiness but I actually like being able to sleep when sick... other than that great medication so far... best antibiotic i have tried so far | M | 34 | 2 days 500mg | 5/7/2013 | 1 | Ear infection | I took 1x500mg pill and immediately starting sweating and got pins and needles pain in my feet and hands, my hands started to lock up. This all lasted about 5-10 mins, the feeling went away and I feel fine now. I am terrified for anyone who takes this. It is poison and I will NEVER take it again. I have changed my entire thoughts about antibiotics and medicine in general. This is scary scary stuff. How can it cripple so many people yet still be on the market. I'm thanking god I was lucky and got away with only taking one. | M | 27 | 1 days 500 mg | 5/6/2013 | 1 | UTI | Extreme fatigue, vision, headaches, nausea, depression. | F | 56 | 8 days | 5/4/2013 | 1 | Crippled by Cipro? Join us (if you're physically able) on Tuesday May 7th, 2013 for the first ever Cipro/Avelox/Levaquin Victims Rally in Washington DC. Rally begins at 11am in front of the U.S. Capitol Building (West Front--Grassy Area 1). Victims and their loved ones will also be meeting with multiple Congressmen throughout the day. Just look for the people in wheelchairs! | We're pissed & we're not gonna take it anymore. BAYER: WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!!! | 666 days 1X day | 5/2/2013 | 2 | UTI | side effects, head hurt, nauseous, sleep problems | F | 46 | 7 days 1X day | 4/25/2013 | 1 | Recurrant UTIs | Cipro ruined my health. I used to be an athlete, and now there are days I dread taking a walk. At only 19 years old I had to drop out of college my reaction was so extreme. I took Cipro over 2 years ago and still have severe symptoms. There have been days I cannot get out of bed. Some of my symptoms that I'm STILL EXPERIENCING TODAY include: Peripheral neuropathy, myalgia, rheumatological symptoms including severe joint pain and stiffness (so bad some days I couldn't walk or use my hands), severe stomach pain and indigestion, urinary retention, disorientation, short term memory loss, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, fatigue, panic attacks, derealization, depersonalization, vertigo, photo sensitivity, hives that still occur 2 years after taking cipro, distorted hearing/hypoacusis, strange/painful throbbing pressure in ears. | Took for 10 days at a time, 5 different times over a year. | F | 20 | 10 days 500MG 2X day | 4/23/2013 | 1 | sinus infection, allergic to others | I went nuts! I thought I would kill myself I was so depressed and confused. Medical doc said it surely couldn't be the drug... but I got into a psychiatrist, describe the onset of situation and he laughed and said, get off the Cipro and never let them give it to you again. My husband takes it with no problems... but I will suffer through infections before I will ever take it again. | F | 58 | 5 days 1X day | 4/16/2013 | 1 | Suspected Prostatitis or UTI | Severe anxiety, depression, tremors, severe insomnia, bizarre dreams while half awake, taste perversions, palpitation and sweat attacks, severe diarrhea and nausea. | Only based on symptoms, constantly needing to pee (everything seemed normal at examination), I was prescribed Ciprofloxacin. 3rd day into taking the "medicine" day I got taste perversions, 4th day I got tremors in stomach and arms, 8th day insomnia (could only sleep ≈2 hours/night), 10th the terrible anxiety attacks started. I felt I didn't want to live anymore. I called the doctor. The doctor assured the side effects had nothing to do with Ciprofloxacin, even if the effects started with the medicine. As the UTI (or whatever) still wasn't cured I was given a second run of Ciprofloxacin. This sent me to hell within 3 days. Total insomnia, surreal dreaming while awake, shaking, severe anxiety, I couldn't digest food -it went right through etc. I stopped taking it, but after 2 months all side effects were still there. Still 6 months later I am still not fully restored and suffers anxiousness, depression, part insomnia, naucea and occasional tremors. | M | 47 | 14 days 500mg 2X day | 4/12/2013 | 4 | bladder/kidney infection | ankle discomfort, neck pain, headaches, back pain, tinnitus, weakness and trouble walking, fatigue, anxiety, nervousness, nausea | this medicine did in fact rid me of a very nasty bacterial infection but i did experience a lot of side effects that were very scary at the time and started almost immediately after first dose. it's been two days since i've finished my course and i'm still feeling quite tired and weak with some back discomfort. my ankle no longer hurts, the headaches are gone as is the anxiety and ringing in my ears. i won't take it again, ever... unless my life depends on it. | F | 30 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 4/10/2013 | 1 | uti | After 2 hours of taking the pill, I developed: Severe chills, fever, severe body aches, severe headache. Took another at night and woke up with dizziness to the point where I couldn't stand/sit, in addition to the symptoms above. This drug really scared me BC I felt so crippled and the stories I've read only increased my fear. I was never told of the risks of this pill, nor did the doctor take my size (105lbs) into consideration when prescribing. Please, whoever has the power, take this drug off the market. I am truly sorry for those who have been injured for a lifetime. I'm still recovering but I hope I don't have the above symptoms forever. | F | 23 | 1 days 500mg | 4/6/2013 | 1 | Uti | Severe anxiety, insomnia, torn meniscus in knee which caused bakers cyst, sprained tendons in knee, arm elbow and wrist pain and weakness, ankle pain and weakness, loss of balance, muscle twitching and movements, dropping things, mind fog, severe wrinkling of skin on arms and loss of muscle tone in arms. | This drug is POISON!!! I am going on 4 months since my last dose and am still sick with side effects. I am scared this will be permanent but I will fight to regain my life. Bayer should have to pay our medical bills! | F | 55 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 4/3/2013 | 1 | UTI | Pain in my legs, arms and fatigue. I would not recommend this for anyone to take. May God help us all! | F | 54 | 2 days 500 | 3/28/2013 | 1 | Uti | I was afraid to take it because of all the side effects that it has, and all the comments that I had read about it. I started taking it after all and the second dose I took, I started feeling so much pain in my legs! I should've follow my instinct not to take it! I hope nothing else happens to me :( | F | 35 | 1 days 500mg | 3/22/2013 |
