I took this in early April and for a few weeks it hurt to walk, drive, etc. I am better, however, I have to be careful or I start hurting again. Wish I would have known the nasty side effects before taking this junk. Please don't take this if you can use another medication for your problem. The side effects are horrible. Doctors should be ashamed for not warning their patients beforehand of the possible effects. There have been way too many affected by the quin class drug. | F | 40 | 2 days 500 MG 3X day | 6/14/2012 | 1 | UTI | Still crippled thanks to Cipro I took years ago now.

My joints feel like they are melting. Completely bedridden. Totally crippled. | In late 2010 went to sentara in Williamsburg looking for relief. Instead The doctor of internal medicine started yelling at me as to why I didn't like cipro. Said I was refusing to be treated. He had me injected anyway and basically murdered me. He was a corrupt bastard. His initials are RRD. Never see this bastard unless you want to die. | M | 56 | 8 days 500 2X day | 6/8/2012 | 1 | Diverticulitis | I was very healthy walked everyday went to the gym now after taking Cipro I can hardly make it through work. I have tingling in legs, pain in calf muscles, swollen ankles. Doctor ran a lot of tests and finally said I was having muscle spasms??? said it would go away in a few weeks to a couple of months, it is now 9 weeks not going away. | One thing that has helped is wearing compression socks, most of the pain goes away in my calf muscles but when I take them off the pain returns. | F | 52 | 10 days 500MG 2X day | 6/7/2012 | 1 | UTI | Severe headache, irregular heartbeat, joint pain, insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, bruised easily all over my body, dizziness | F | 22 | 4 days | 6/4/2012 | 1 | Uti | This medicine has evil side effects... Please don't take unless life or death. I was in college and had to take off a year from school because I got severe and painful tendinitis in both Achilles, elbows, shoulders, wrists, hips, hamstrings, and plantar fasciitis, I have finger joint pains in all fingers and toes. I was sooo healthy before Very athletic and it crippled me. It's been 3 years I'm 22 now and I still have painful joint and tendon pains although not crippling enough to not beig able to walk or write like I had the first year after I took cipro which led me to have to drop out of school. I also developed panic attacks insomnia brain fog depression and I was so happy before it destroyed me. Please don't take it it's not worth it!!!!! | F | 19 | 7 days | 6/3/2012 | 1 | Bone Infection, Intestinal Infectio | Extreme anxiety and apnic attacks! I would wake up in the morning shaking, sweating, and short of breath. I also felt like I had tons of adrenaline running through my body, specifically in my abdomen. I missed lots of work because of this too. I have been off of it for 6 days and I still wake up with these symptoms however they are not as intense. | I am beginning to eat yogurt and take probiotics. I am also thinking about about doing a liver and kidney detox program too. I may eve try some of the other suggestions on this site. Another thing to note is that I am smoker. Yeah, I know that is bad, and I want to quit soon. However, I believe the nicotine greatly exacerbated my anxiety and panic attacks. When I smoked that first cigarette in the morning, my anxiety was even worse. | M | 55 | 10 days 500 2X day | 6/1/2012 | 1 | UTI | I went to the doctor because I had some discomfort in my neither region, he said I probably had a infected prostate and needed to get on medication ASAP. Doc is a professor at a highly regarded medical university so I trusted him. After 3 days on Cipro I started getting the side effects, pain my arm and wrist and numbness. I was also weak in the knees and ankles and had difficult time walking. I stopped taking and called the doc, who seemed to brush off these side effects and told me I should continue unless I wanted to go on something else. If he had shown some concern, I would have requested to switch drugs. I don't even know if I had UTI because the culture came back negative. It's been 4 months and while I can walk again, my left arm/hand are in constant pain and discomfort. I'm 30 years old, recently married, and a programmer. I'm devastated, the side effects of this drug is worse than the initial issue. | I told my doc, the pharmacist, nurse, ER doctor and nobody believes cipro does this. They brush it off as something else.. well, I've never HAD any issues like this and they started shortly after taking cipro. If cipro doesn't do this, why are so many people who went on it experiencing the same problems? Cipro has ruined my life! I want my life back! I just moved to a new city and mostly stay indoors because of pain. | M | 30 | 14 days 500 2X day | 5/27/2012 | 1 | uti | Life altering pill worst thing that has ever happened to me made me unable to walk, joint pain all over, tremors, insomnia, anxiety attacks, peripheral neuropathy like electrical shocks, tinggling and the list goes on I am only 28years old and was perfectly healthy before this! good news is I have gotten better with changing my diet to candida diet, juicing lots of greens, stopped all medications and tried to detox my system. Only eat organic nonantibiotic no hormone grass fed meat because the regular meat is riddled with hormones and dosed with antibiotics also that contain fluoroquinolones which causes to be refloxed. Drink lots of lemon water to help with nerve pain and to detox liver, probiotics for stomache issues and digestive enzymes. Take lots of vitamin D, magnesium especially because fq's deplete that mineral in you, and calcium. Also I don't eat anything processed or with perservatives all natural, changed shampoo, soap and toothpaste because of the harsh chemicals and containing fluoride in them.
