| 1 | suspected urinary tract infection | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG, ABSOLUTE POISON!!! 11 months later and I am still experiencing daily side effects from Cipro. I was prescribed it for a suspected urinary tract infection. I took my first dose before bed and woke up 2 hours later in such pain I could barely move. Excruiciating low back pain, leg pain, basically head to toe pain uncomparable to anything I had ever experienced. Followed up with my doctor the next day who encouraged me to finish my 10 day round of Cipro, ensuring me that the symptoms I was experiencing were due to my suspected UTI - Could not have been more wrong! Finished the Cipro and have been dealing with the aftermath of being poisoned by this terrible drug ever since. I am 24 years old and wake up feeling as though I'm 100 and spend each day in some degree of pain. Joint and muscle pain in my arms, legs, neck and shoulders. I never had any of these issues before taking Cipro. I advise everyone to NOT take this drug or any drugs from the floroquine family of antibiotics. Just Google 'cipro is poison' and read the thousands of horror stories victims have posted as their lives, like mine, have been forever changed from Cipro. | F | 24 | 10 days | 2/15/2012 | 3 | Gastrio infection | Stomach pain, cramps, nausea, decreased appetite | F | 46 | 7 days 500 3X day | 2/8/2012 | 1 | UTI | I am a 60 yr old femal and was prescribed CIPRO for a uti that I didn't even know I had. My Dr. said my annual physical labs showed I had one. By the second day of taking 500mgs. twice a day. I began feeling light headed and a bit sick at my stomach. Today was to be my 4th day and I have chosen to stop. Mentally I am a mess and my arms, legs and neck ache. Yesteday, day 3 I felt so depressed and disoriented and didn't have the energy to do anything. I am having trouble sleeping and am short-winded. I felt perfectly fine when I went to the dr. last week for my annual checkup and now feel like I have been poisoned. I take no medications of any kind and have always been healthy. This drug is poison as far as I am concerned and should not be allowed to stay on the market. Reading other peoples stories has me worried that I might not get over these horrific symptoms. | F | 60 | 4 days 500 2X day | 2/7/2012 | 1 | sinus infection | chest/neck tightness followed by pain, joint/muscle pain, head pressure, headaches on the left side, fatigue, insomnia, indigestion, nerve pain throughout the body, blurry vision, dry mouth/throat/nose/skin | This is the worst medication I've ever taken in my life. I am traumatized from this horrible experience. This is poison and not safe at any dose. How long does the chest/neck pain and tightness last? | F | 30 | 1 days 500 mg 1X day | 2/6/2012 | 1 | My dog had bloody awful diarrhea | He was fine the first two days, diarrhea went away, and he was so happy tonight. We gave him his third dose and and 45 minutes later we thought he'd broken him toe. Acting like his foot was in pain. Then he got really lethargic, and out of nowhere started kicking his back legs and threw himself to the ground rubbing his face on the floor and trying to burrow. He couldn't get comfortable, kicking every 15 seconds, he looked like he didn't know where he was running from spot to spot around the living room throwing himself down and closing his eyes. I thought he was dying. He obviously had a serious reaction to this drug. We are terrified. Called the emergency vet, and they sounded like they googled the drug to see what they should say to us. Awful. They have NO clue. It has been 3 and 1/ 2 hours...... Our dog is still a little confused and unbalanced , pacing back and fourth between naps. Don't use this drug, human or animal. I don't know what we're gonna do. | M | 2 | 3 days 1000mg | 2/4/2012 | 1 | Suspected abscess | Anxiety, panic attacks, brain fog, impaired vision and memory, head pressure, suicidal thoughts, depersonalisation, severe insomnia, nightmares, balance problems. | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION UNLESS YOU WANT TO RUIN MY LIFE. MY LIFE HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM ME 4 MONTHS AGO. I TRUSTED MY DOCTORS, THEY POISONED ME WITH CIPRO. | M | 25 | 14 days 500 mg 2X day | 2/3/2012 | 1 | gastroenteritis (suspected) | Severe muscle weakness, fatigue, blurry vision, loss of appetite, dry mouth, muscle wasting, C. Diff overgrowth in colon causing a range of GI issues, back pain, racing heart, panic attacks, loss of coordination, loss of mental function, loss of memory, abdominal pain, insomnia, muscle twitching, muscle jerking, shaking, sensitivity to caffeine, sensitivity to alcohol | Was prescribed Cipro on April 20th, 2011. It is now Feb. 3rd, 2012 and I am still having severe issues. Interestingly my symptoms did not start until a couple months after taking the Cipro, which is apparently quite common with these drugs. I went from a very active, athletic 29 year old to a 30 year old who can barely leave the house some days. I am lucky to have a job that is not currently physically demanding and understanding coworkers, or I would be in a very difficult situation. It now requires all of my reserve of strength to make it through a normal 8 hour work day sitting at a computer, where before I could work 10 to 12 physically demanding hours. I have seriously thought I was on the verge of death a couple of times in the last few months, and I probably was. My doctors are unable to identify the cause of any of my symptoms and seem to be able to do nothing of any use to help. Do not take this drug unless it is a last resort, it just isn't worth it. It is unbelievable to me that this drug is as common as it is, or even legal. | M | 30 | 5 days unknown 1X day | 2/3/2012 | 1 | UTI | Severe insomnia, burning/tingling sensations all over body, muscle/joint pain, dehydration, nerve pain and possible damage, depression, panic, tachycardia, dry eyes/mouth, cold hands/feet, numbness, weakness. | I am one month out from stopping my course early after 4 out of 7 prescribed days, and have not seen any decrease in symptoms - in fact, some of them are just getting worse. I'm hoping that I will recover eventually, but to all those reading this, don't take your chances! The risk is NOT worth it unless it's truly a matter of life or death. Believe me - these stories could be you. | F | 21 | 4 days 500mg 2X day | 2/3/2012 | 1 | Sinus infection | Severe abdominal pain and vomitting. Had to go to emergency room. | Never take this drug unless you really have a big tolerance to amoxcillian and have to be on somthing else. | F | 36 | 10 days 250 3X day | 2/3/2012 | 1 | prostatitis symptoms | Pain in lower back,back of heel. Fingers. Dry itching patches on legs and hands. Upset stomach after finishing the dose. And still have prostatitis symptoms. | M | 62 | 4 weeks 500mg | 2/2/2012 | 1 | Kidney infection | This drug has ruined my life! Balance issues, dystonia, nerve damage, tendon pain, knee pain, | F | 45 | 6 times 500 | 2/2/2012 | 1 | Uti | Plz do not take cipro if u have uti go get dmannose at health store works amazing . I had to go to the hospital takin this nasty ass cipro and the pharmases and doctors assured me it's not cipro that's causing ALL the pain that people have said omg I almoust died in my bathroom I still feel the side effects my hips my legs my hands my head everything hurts and I was a very healthy girl. Non of the doctors belive me what cipro did to me . | F | 24 | 4 days 150 | 1/31/2012 | 1 | UTI | My side effects started with a rash on my chest, moved down to my stomach. Rash started on my 2nd day of Cipro, but I didn't think it was that causing the rash b/c I'd been on Cipro a few years back and never had problems. Finally figured it out when I started getting other symptoms and researching more. I had a yeast infection. I still have bad muscle spasms in my back, joint pain in my shoulders and hips, tremors. Sporadic numbness, one day my left arm, left side of chest down to my hip and my whole left leg went numb. I've got tremors, really bad insomnia and blurry eyes. My face is pretty red, like a sunburn and found that I know have my rash popping up on my back. | It's been 8 days since I last took Cipro. It doesn't seem any of my adverse reactions are going away. Why am I still feeling so bad? I've read all of the other postings, am I going to have this for a year or more? I have moments when it is very hard to even walk. All of these problems b/c an ER doctor gave me Cipro for a UTI. I have signed the petition on facebook to the FDA. What scary is this is happening to people every day, don't take this drug, stay away!Pleaase feel free to email me with any resources - THANK YOU for everyone posting... | F | 36 | 7 days 500MG 2X day | 1/28/2012 | 1 | Possible UTI | Muscle weakness, sharp pains going through my muscles, weakness and pain around joints, foot pain on the top and bottom, racing heart, back and shoulder aches, headaches, urge to urinate with no infection, pain in hands, pretty much all my muscles or joints hurt in some way. | F | 30 | 4 days 250 mg x2 | 1/28/2012 | 1 | CRIPPLED BY CIPRO? CALL GREG BABE, BAYER'S CEO, AND DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT HIS COMPANY'S POISON HAS DONE TO YOUR BODY!!!

The best way to describe this drug is poison, not only for your body, but your mind, it brings your mind to a haunt it should never ever go to, from which it is impossible to get back where you were. Ever since taking it I had had fatigue/depression/insomnia/constant muscle spasm in pelvic floor/anxiety @ death/suicide ideation. My life was ended by this drug. I am still breathing but without your mind you are dead. Why was I prescribed a drug after 2 or 3 minutes or Dr. evaluation of this magnitude, that crosses the blood/brain barrier, for a sore side? All I really was was constipated it turns out. It has ended my life of who I was, I am totally unmotivated and in pain 24/7 suicidal call 7575890561. I now cannot work or enjoy anything because of what this drug did to me. | Never take this at all. You will never be your old self. | M | 35 | 6 days 750mg 1X day | 1/20/2012 | 1 | Prostititis | Muscle twitching starting in calves. Joint pain, boarderline bipolar disorder, nightmares, loss of movement in one of my toes, carpel tunnel like symptoms, night sweats. It has been 3 months with little remission and I have racked up a ton of bills for the ER, specialty doctors, etc. Also I had to deal with fearing that I had ALS, which by itself is a nightmare. | Doctors need to be aware of the side effects of this drug and stop prescribing it. | M | 31 | 5 days 800 2X day | 1/18/2012 | 1 | possible bladder infection | At the end of treatment, a foot injury (from basketball) that was almost better, swelled up and got painful again. And then excruciating back-pain started and continued unabated for days. My wife googled "Cipro back pain" and found the horror stories. She also read that boron can help, and it did - AMAZING - but soon my other foot started to hurt - in the heel and my leg was cramped up. I could walk - but couldn't straighten the leg. But several days later - I couldn't walk due to intense pain... (4 days ago) | what 's helping now: magnesium (Natural Calm) ; NAC; and Egoscue, plus other supplements... Sometimes I walk with crutches - sometimes I crawl...but the pain and swelling is decreasing - I will also get IV of l-glutathione if I need it - but many people are helped by NAC if taken early on.
