| 1 | UTI | The first day, I experienced tiredness/fatigue. During the course of treatment I had terrible GERD and felt like I was choking on acid. Digestive problems included extreme gasiness, nausea, heartburn and abdominal pain. By the third night I was sleepless, unable to sleep at all (even after taking my usual sleeping pills), extremely anxious, pounding heart, racing thoughts, and quite possibly hallucinations. I experienced flashing lights when I closed my eyes. After reading about CNS toxicity and floroquinolone-induced mania I don't want to take this drug ever again. | I had never taken this drug before. It was prescribed after a failed course of antibiotic treatment with Septra. | F | 25 | 4 days 250 MG 2X day | 9/29/2012 | 1 | UTI | I have had a sudden onset of aches and pain in every joint it seems. Numbness and tingling throughout my entire body. Even the feeling in my teeth and tongue have been effected. I can't think clearly and I'm exhausted all the time. The problems started suddenly. On day 3 of taking cipro I realized the connection and quit taking the med. The trembling has resolved , but all the other symptoms are very much present. | F | 34 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 9/28/2012 | 1 | UTI | Severe muscle pain in both arms that spread to chest, breasts and legs within a few days of taking it. I'm only 26. | I was fine for the first 5 days of taking it, and then on day 6 I woke up with ridiculous pain in my right shoulder, and it went down my arm to my hand. It hurt so bad I cried. I feel like my muscles are weak and stabbing in pain whenever I use them. It has now spread to my other arm, my breasts, and now my right leg. My heart is still pounding really hard. It's been 4 days since quitting cipro and I don't think this will go away, it's getting worse and I feel like I'm going to die. Don't take this drug, it ruins your life. | F | 26 | 7 days 2 per day 1X day | 9/24/2012 | 1 | UTI | Lower abdominal severe cramps. Lower back and side pain. Worsening of fibromyalgia, plus head, neck and shoulder pain, severe bloating, feeling of flu-like symptoms ongoing until I started to take 50 billion Ultimate Flora. | My UTI cleared up in 3 days, but symptoms increased. Waited over the weekend to see if they subsided, by next Mon. I revisited Dr. Who was clueless. I suggested it might be a result of Cipro. H concurred, but offered no remedy. Back pains kept me up at night and a friend ssuggested I take 50 billion live probiotic cultures. this is day 2 and my bloating has almost gone, my severe abdominal pains have lessened, and I can only hope that every day will get better until I am normal again. | F | 71 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 9/15/2012 | 3 | UTI | Floaters, blurred vision, headache, fatigue, muscle weakness | I have taken CIPRO in three day courses for the past 10 years (approx. 2-3 times per year) to treat UTIs. My UTI symptoms always improve within hours of taking the drug. Though I never made the correlation, I have had blurred and sometimes double vision for many years now, severe headaches, and muscle weakness and fatigue (I thought I might have MS for a while), and many eye floaters. My retinas are OK and my vision is 20/20, but the floaters have never resolved, and I still have a feelings of unexplained weakness (where I feel like I can't hold or grasp things or that my legs won't support me), headaches, and eye problems. I can't believe I took this drug approximately 20-25 times over the past 10 years. Most doctors have no clue how harmful it is. Take care of yourselves!! | F | 32 | 3 days 250mg 2X day | 9/10/2012 | 1 | . | CIPRO DESTROYS LIVES! Bayer, the FDA and your doctor will not acknowledge this! | Have you had your life ravaged by this poison? Call Bayer's new CEO, Phil Blake, at his New Jersey office: 973-305-5018. Let him know what his company's poison has done to your body and demand answers! It's beyond time Bayer acknowledges their permanently altered victims!!! CALL NOW and do not take "No" for an answer--GET THAT MAN ON THE PHONE!!! | M | 66 | 1 days 500 1X day | 9/5/2012 | 2 | UTI | Had always taken this before for UTI's but the last time I took it I had to go to the ER could not stop vomiting and diaherria | F | 61 | 5 days 500 2X day | 8/29/2012 | 1 | UTI | Given by IV in hospital - site began to itch like crazy so it was removed and Benadryl administered......I think I was really lucky to be allergic! | F | 57 | 1 days unknown 1X day | 8/29/2012 | 1 | sinus infection | after 3 days, had the following symptoms: tendonitis in all ankle, shoulder and knee tendons. knees, shoulders and ankles dislocating. paroxismal supraventricular tachycardia. phototoxicity. sleeping 14hr per night. clonus. peripheral neuropathy. tinnitus. venus insufficiency. bulging arteries. no appetite. inability to tolerate simple carbohydrates. skin aged 30 years in 6 weeks. lost 30 lbs in 2 months from muscle-wasting. CNS processing difficulties. severe anxiety. | after 8 months, developed jaundice and a kidney stone. I have been told i will die from liver toxicity due to Cipro, unless medical care can save my liver. although all my symptoms appear in research literature, that I subsequently read after being harmed, the medical community refuses to acknowledge Cipro toxicity. when i told my doctor my side effects, he said I didn't need Cipro anyway; and it couldn't possibly cause all these problems. This is a lethal drug. should not be prescribed except for life and death bacterial infections. | F | 62 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 8/28/2012 | 5 | kidney infection | Made my pain go away within 3 days, but made me very drowsy and slightly dizzy. The best part of it was it doesn't leave that horrible metallic taste. | F | 32 | 7 days 500 mg | 8/27/2012 | 1 | Uti | 43 year old athletic male, soccer player since high school, and avid weight lifter. Felt like superman. I developed UTI symptoms and decided to take a safe medication. I had taken CIPRO 8 years ago and didn't recall any side effects. This time around took the antibiotic and went to Hell. I have experienced side effects that have damaged every organ...joint pains, stomach pains, cartilage destruction, neuropathic pains ( burning skin, pin and needles, and so forth), and on and on, worst side effects were depression that made me suicidal, anxiety that was from Hell, severe insomnia, eye pains, ringing in the ears, loss of short term memory, brain fog, unable to focus eyes, and tons more. The medical community is ignorant of the syndrome that Fluoroquinolones cause. Trust me if you haven't suffered this syndrome yet, you WILL if you continue taking it. The good news is after 7 1/2 months I have noticed some improvements. Avoid this family of antibiotics like the plague. If you haven't experienced any of its side effects, consider being given a second, a third, forth chance, but if you continue taking it especially the 500 mg and above tablets you WILL suffer. The 250 mg tablets may be below the toxic range and most people can tolerate them well, but the 500 mg tables will get you eventually! | M | 43 | 4 days 500 mg | 8/24/2012 | 1 | colitis | Extremely bad head ache, fleeting pains in my ankles, knees and finger joints. I've been unable to straighten my left knee for 2 days now and can hardly walk on it. I've missed work and if this continues, I won't be able to function in my job, which requires I stay on my feet. | DO NOT TAKE CIPRO!!! I feel like I was poisoned!! | F | 34 | 1 days 250 mg 1X day | 8/21/2012 | 1 | kidney infection | Been off cipro now for couple Weeks andstill have very blurry sight. Along with the worst abdominal swelling that will not go down. I have never before felt such swelling and pressure. The constipation is beond ridiculose. I have bought every thing on the market including prune juice and nothing works. My muscles still hurt every day. Im so sick of these side effects that wont leave. Just because a drug rep bounces in a office and tells drs this drug is great does not mean a thing.after all that is their job. And then of course the dr. starts throwing it at patients without knowing one thing obout the poision.I worked inmedical field for years and I know exactaley how it works.do not take this drug. After all sinse when would anyone expect their dr. to say theygave a bad drug that destroyed a patient for life. Will never happen. So ththey will lie. I know because I worked for drs. To many years and heard them lie to their patientsmany times. | F | 49 | 10 days 500 | 8/19/2012 | 5 | UTI | I had no side effects I just dislike how big the pills are. | F | 18 | 7 days 500 | 8/17/2012 | 1 | UTI | Extreme Nausea | F | 20 | 6 days | 8/12/2012 | 1 | UTI | I've experienced every side effect imaginable which got much better after 9 months. But now I am dealing with eczema which I never had prior to taking this poison. I also get sun burned easily and itch all over including my scalp for days. Cipro is so nasty that I wouldn't even recommend it to my enemy. | F | 34 | 1 days 500 | 8/11/2012 | 1 | abdominal pain, UTI | muscle spasms similar to an epileptic seizure lasting 10 - 40 minutes, restlessness, insomnia, bizarre mood changes I regret having taken this medication. My suffering this past week has been immense and I feel worse from having taken the drug. | F | 39 | 1.5 days 2X day | 8/9/2012 | 1 | Uti symptoms (negative urinalysis ) | Swelling of both legs... 5+pitting edema. Joint pains in my feet...nerve pAins on feet and legs...some tingling on hands...i stopped, then next felt back pains.... | Healthcare professionals need to be aware of these things... I took cipro before and was fine...second time around, i developed this....lame...i feel like i have gout. By the way, take Magnesium, vit E, and multivitamins to try to reverse effects of cipro! | F | 25 | 4 days 500 2X day | 8/7/2012 | 1 | cloudy ear drum | Five years ago my 44 yr. old sister had major effects from this drug CIPRO that her Doctor scripted. She has had four surgeries thus far... Her body will NEVER be the same! My PRAYERS are with all of you! | This past week had taken my 9 year old 72 pound German Shepherd Dog to the Clinic saw one of my normal Vets Partners to check her ear, ear drum a bit cloudy she prescribed 750 MG CIPRO and 500 MG Amoxcillin twice per/day. I refused to give her the CIPRO saw my regular Vet today he allow only had side effects in Cats! Retinal Detachment ( eyes ) most recent side effects humans ALSO! THIS IS AWEFUL!!!!!! PLEASE RESEARCH ALL DRUGS MEDICAL OR VETERINARY PRESCRIPTIONS. | F | 53 | 0 days 750 MG 2X day | 8/6/2012 | 1 | Urinary tract infection | severe fatigue and extreme weakness | After taking the medication 3 times I started feeling really weak (I could hardly walk). The day the side effects started I went to see a doctor and they took me off the medication. It took a few days for the fatigue to go away. In spite of the side effects, the medication did its job and made the infection go away. | F | 27 | 1.5 days 2X day | 8/3/2012 |
