| 1 | TWELVE PILLS TAKEN IN OCTOBER OF 2009 COMPLETELY ENDED MY LIFE! DEATH TO BAYER!!! | You can read my story and learn more about the horrors of Cipro at: www.ciproispoison.com | M | 33 | 6 days 500 2X day | 1/10/2013 | 1 | Pseudomonas Aeruginosa | This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I had surgery and a piece of a drain tube was left in. My doctor went back in to take it out and told me 5 days later he didnt know what type of infection I had but put me on a drug that should take care of it. I told him if he didnt know then send it off to the center of disease control and it came back as pseudomonas aeruginosa. I didnt know what it was, my mother was with me and my doctor put me on 1500 mgs. of cipro for 5 weeks. I kept asking him why I felt like I was so tired, why my legs hurt, when I would get my energy back??? It's been a year and a half ago and I'm 39 years old. I had my own business for 15 years before this, I played tennis, rode jet skis, snow skied, danced daily and was a massage therapist as well as a single mother of a 5 and 15 year old. I have closed my business now. I still hurt all over, blurry vision, no energy, my joints pop and crack. I have never felt this bad in my life. This drug took my life | Your life can get worse, no matter what you do.... Do not take this drug. Find another doctor if yours perscribes this for you. | F | 39 | 5 weeks 500 3X day | 1/8/2013 | 1 | ignorance | I took this drug almost 2 years ago now. I dont have time to list all my adverse effects here. It has destroyed my health, lets just say that. | The makers of this drug and the FDA are criminals as far as I am concerned. | M | 31 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 1/8/2013 | 1 | Uti | Extreme burning itching pain toes of one foot. After 3days, burning itching pain toes of both feet. Have stopped taking it - have taken Cipro in past with no problems | F | 75 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 1/7/2013 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Low BP (80/55), weakness in the knees, hallucinations, anxiety, unable to grip | So lucky. I had a natural distrust of meds after I had a very bad experience with Prilosec. Got a kidney infection and was given Cipro. Supposed to take two 500mg twice a day! Decided to test it first by only taking a half of one. Side effects in a out 30 minutes. My blood pressure plummeted, had a hard time standing and gripping a door handle, even began to hallucinate a bit. Threw the meds in the trash immediately and drank gallons of water. Back to normal in 1.5 days. Got sooo lucky. Tried colloidal silver and infection was cured in 1 day. DO NOT TAKE THIS!!! | M | 25 | 1 days 500mg 1X day | 1/5/2013 | 1 | divertilitis | bad musle aches and pain. Flet like I climbed a mountain, pains all over, mostly in legs | F | 71 | 1X day | 1/3/2013 | 1 | Uti | Only took 2 pills. Got Aching, sore, muscles and joints all over body for several DAYS after stopping the meds. Was told by dr it was actually a rapid breakdown of my muscles called rhabdo. Thankfully Im young and i didnt take much and drank ALOT of water to flush it out. So my symptoms have greatly improved and im almost 100% again. but it took 4 days from last dose. Also got a terrible sore, painful, raw throat. Would never reccomend this! Take something else!!! | F | 26 | 1 days 500mg | 12/26/2012 | 1 | UTI | Tendonitis in wrist, ankle, and elbows. Popping noise in knees and hips. Tingling, pin prick feeling in feet. Sore acquillies tendon and heels. Nightmares. Hamstring pain. Twitching of muscles in hip and eye. Knees hurt. Anxious and panic attack feeling. Symptoms stated at the end of taking meds. I contacted pharmacy to question why I wasn't told it was a "black box" drug. They said they don't usually pass that information along since my symptoms occur in only 1 percent of patients. The doctor didn't bother to tell me either. Now I am dealing with the after effects. Dr. Recommended I take NSAIDs for 3 days and I should be fine. If only that would be true. I'm very frightened that my life is forever changed with no cure. | Shame on doctors and pharmacist for not warning me and others like me. If I had been told this was a "black box" medication I would never have taken it. I've sent the clinic this website to inform them I'm not a rare (1%) effected by this poison!! | F | 58 | 5 days 500 2X day | 12/19/2012 | 1 | Suspected prostate infection | Partial achilles rupture, dry skin, circulation problems, nerve damage in both arms and legs, insomonia, depersonalization | This was six months ago and I am still totally screwed up from this drug. I would have been better off losing an eye or possibly even a hand. For sure some fingers or an ear...... | M | 35 | 7 days 2X day | 12/19/2012 | 1 | UTI | I have only been taking this for 3 days and I feel worse than before I took the medicine. I normally have a little joint knee pain because of my weight but nothing that doesn't clear up in a day or two. Since taking cipro I feel sleepy, tired, dizzy, bloated with a lot of gas, headaches, and my joint knee pain has increased 5x. I now have to make an appointment with a orthopedic surgeon to have a MRI done on my knee. I thought it was just me, but after reading the reviews I do not recommend this medication. I have stopped taking it and will never take this again. | F | 29 | 7 days 500 2X day | 12/18/2012 | 1 | diverticulitis | started having severe sharp stabbing pains in wrist, shoulders hurt, hips and knees. feet so sore i can't walk. ankles feel broke. | i will never ever take this drug again. i hope i haven't done permanent damage. | F | 64 | 5 days 500 2X day | 12/16/2012 | 1 | Bacterial sepsis,endocarditis | Severe nearly crippling pain in my joints, especially my ankles/heels, of my ankles shoulders. When I step onto my feet the paint that shoots up from my heel drops me to my knees, my ankles feel like a bat was taken to them. My whole body is racked in pain. I am on Leviaquin,oral Vancomycin and IV Ineprenem. RE DIARRHEA and Cipro URGENT Abx can cause the bacteria C. Difficile to overtake the colon, this requires medical attention immediately, particularly if your stool is watery. C, Diff, is very contagious as it is a spore, it can clear up for a bit and show back up, as a spore it can spread to family, you shouldn't share a bathroom. It my require hospitalization, you can dehydrate and it can make you much sicker left untreated. | Doctors will deny any of the above side effects, they have each time and every time they have occurred - EVERY time I have taken these meds, Keflex, too. It gets worse each time, so like allergies it may be cumulative and may be increasingly risky. | F | 46 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 12/16/2012 | 1 | uti | urinary retention and diahrhea | M | 70 | 2 days 500mg. | 12/16/2012 | 1 | Inflamed Lymphoid | nausea,headache,extreme tiredness,lack of energy, restlessness,weakness in both arms and hands, mind was very active and unable to sleep | There are other drugs out there to fight bacteria infections. This drug should be banned and re-evaulated. What I don't understand is why CIPRO would release this drug if there has been so many recordings of people getting hurt? This is a crime. The FDA needs to step in and take care of this problem. Other side effects that were listed, but I did not get were nightmares or abnormal dreams, not trusting others or feeling that others want to hurt you,hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist), depression, thoughts about dying or killing yourself, uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body, pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness in a part of the body. | F | 19 | 1 days 500 MG 2X day | 12/12/2012 | 3 | Infection and non union of left tib | Got diarrhea couple days in after taking Cipro. Still experiencing problems there. Restlessness and interrupted sleep and strange dreams. Nightly sweating and skin rashes. Ive heard you should not skip antibiotics and take full course or longer than required so that the infection doesn't return and develop resistance requiring more powerful stuff. Worried if i stop now the infection will return and and the bone wont heal. Wearing a ilizarov frame now if this doesn't work I will lose my leg and i don't want that to happen. | M | 29 | 2 months 750 | 12/10/2012 | 1 | precautionary so I didn't get bronc | wrist pain in elbow pain knee pain ankle pain pains in other places and weak legs extremely painful taking Norco and ibuprofen to help with pain that it doesn't last all the time it's been a little over a week and I am so sorry for everyone is suffering worse than I am | F | 58 | 6 days 500 2xa da | 12/9/2012 | 3 | epipdidimytis | No side effects. Just sweat a lot. No joint pain calfs are a little sore probably from running and down the ladder at home depot lol seems to be helping my nut.. So far so good | M | 20 | 6 days 2 | 12/8/2012 | 1 | UTI | Joint Pain, Achilles Pain, lethargy, severe headache, vision disruptions, fatigue, etc. | ONLY TAKE THIS DRUG IF THE OTHER OPTION IS DEATH! THERE ARE MUCH SAFER ANTIBIOTICS TO TAKE. I took this only 4 times November 1, 2012 and on 12/3/12 I still feel Achilles pain and tingling, dizzyness, neck pain, etc... avoid this drug as it will change your life!!! | M | 38 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 12/3/2012 | 1 | Non existant prostate infection | first off if you have any joint pain you need to stop this chemical poisoning. This poison attacks collegen synthesis the same way it attacks the bacteria. If you are affected you need to stay active. If you can't walk then crawl. If you can't crawl then roll. Get into a swimming pool for some light resistance work out. you need to replenish your body with protein. bone broth is the key. Boil some big soup bones and drink the broth. This has amino acids in it which is the building blocks for protein. I did recover but it took me almost 2 years. Doctors, family and friends will not believe you. They will tell its old age. Don't give up. | Never ever take this garbage. It will cripple you. | M | 49 | 1 days 500 3X day | 11/28/2012 | 1 | ear infection | Severe joint pain all over my body. Inability to walk at times. Jaw locked. Severe achilles tendonitis. Loud popping noises in previously healthy joints. Tinnitus. Five months later I am still experiencing symptoms. | F | 42 | 3 days 2X day | 11/28/2012 |
