| 3 | Sinusitis and lung disease | I am in the 4 th day and I have serious side effects like: dizziness, numbness, light headedness stomach pain and poor memory...I feel like i had smoked a joint | I have taken many antibiotics before like: co-amoxiclav, cefalexin, cefuroxime(my favourite), doxycicline and 2 others i don't remember.I went to my doctor because i have a terrible cough and sputum....She consulted me and asked me if i have any atibiotics at home, and i said I have Cuminol(cipro)(I've got 20 pcs from my a relative).She said it is good, and I started to take it.On the 3 day afternoon i started to feel dizzy and lightheaded.....I will never take this againe | M | 17 | 4 days 500mg 2X day | 6/24/2011 | 1 | UTI | Tingling, Numbness, blurry, anxiety, heart beat. I am glad for this forum and I am having the symptoms as of right now. I've never had any medical reaction and I can't believe that this drug is out there with so many negative responses I've just researched! We need to do something against this and get rid of this product!!! I want to get better and not worse! | F | 30 | 500 1X day | 6/24/2011 | 1 | Uti | Urinary retention, pain in toes, legs, ribs, lightheaded, vision problems, constipation, insomnia, bad taste in mouth | Would not ever recommend this ever! Did the trick but not worth it! | F | 22 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 6/23/2011 | 1 | Sinus Infection | For the first four days I felt fatigued and light-headed. By mid-morning on the fifth day I began vomiting and couldn't stop. I was vomiting every 20-30 minutes for the next 20 hours. I thought I was dying. A different doctor in the ER gave me an anti-nausea shot that they use for cancer patients. I did vomit two more times that day, but now haven't for a day and a half. Still feel terribly weak, light headed, mildly nauseous, have strange hiccups, and am just generally uncomfortable. | I will NEVER take this antibiotic again. Weigh the possible side effects before putting something like this in your body. | F | 34 | 4.5 days 500 MG 2X day | 6/22/2011 | 1 | unconfirmed UTI | Please report adverse reactions @ www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/default.htm Reporting these reactions may be the only way to make the FDA aware of how dangerous this drug is. | M | 34 | 1 weeks 500mg 2X day | 6/22/2011 | 4 | UTI | nausea, nausea, nausea!! Still have nausea and it has been over 24 hours since last dose. | There must be something other than Cipro for UTI that does not make me feel worse than the UTI. | F | 79 | 3 days 250 mg 2X day | 6/21/2011 | 1 | Baecause of left ear infection | Have produced permanent damage to both of my ears in the form of extremely irritating sound of Tinnitus. | Never ever try CIPRO. Its POISON | M | 25 | 4 days 250 Mg 2X day | 6/21/2011 | 1 | UTI | I only took 1 Cipro, late afternoon. Early evening while walking, I had a shooting pain from the ball of my foot to my heel, then I felt something snap and had intense pain, swelling, and bruising. I still have pain 5 days later. | F | 50 | 1 days 500mg 2X day | 6/21/2011 | 1 | SIBO | Days 3 and 4 my face swelled up, total wipe out fatigue, chills, just overall sick, sick, sick. On the evening of the 4th I was starting to feel much better but my achilles heel started to hurt a little. Day 5 felt even better but now it was more than just a sensation with the heel it definately hurts. Discontinued cipro but continuing until day 7 with Flagyl. | I have had just about all the bad effects one can have from CIPRO...didn't help that my doc had just given me steroids a couple weeks earlier. sigh. UPDATE 6/20/11: After this I took every vitimin I could find on the web that said it might block the Cipro...but still went on to have severe insomnia...up for days. Found it alters the seratonin and GABA, I tried meletonin had little effect then used Lithium Orotate 5mg ...instant relief! The sleep helped my heels significantly. Sleep is stable now even without the lithium orotate. I can stand now, heels still flare up but not nearly as severe. But still dealing with terrible muscle fatigue in arms and legs. I tire out just walking through a grocery store, difficult to brush my teeth...not sure how to recover from that yet. Will post again if I can find a solution. | F | 42 | 500 1X day | 6/20/2011 Patient History | 1 | not confirmed male UTI | A bit of fog in first few days, no biggie. BUT, a day 6 a tendonitis in left upper arm developed spontaneously. This is a quite painful scenario. | Make sure to fully understand what you're getting in to- read and understand the black box warning, be assured that no alternative exists before using this drug. My guess is that the frequency of this event is underestimated. | M | 62 | 8 days 500 2X day | 6/18/2011 | 1 | Skin infection | Severe pain in ankles, feet feel like they are freezing, sometimes get a burning/scratching sensation, cannot walk without it feeling like there is a heavy sock around my ankles | Has anyone found a way to treat this or am I permanently damaged? It has been 2 weeks since I have taken this drug | M | 36 | 1 days 500 MG 2X day | 6/17/2011 | 1 | Watch this video before you decide to ingest this poison: www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/health/jan-june11/antibiotics_06-16.html | F | 40 | 1X day | 6/17/2011 | 1 | Bronchial Infection | Took one pill and went to bed. Had some itching. woke up had whelps on my face and decided to run some errands. Almost passed out driving. Was taken to doctors office who prescribed the medication and was made to wait for an hour in an empty waiting room. As I was about to pass out I told the person at the desk and they took me back and did a breathing treatment and had to give me shots of steroids. I thought I was going to die. I couldn't breathe and everything was like being in a dream. Horrible medicine. | F | 26 | 1 days not sure 1X day | 6/16/2011 | 1 | UTI | Nine months ago, prescribed cipro for an un-confirmed UTI. Within 5 days, I was having severe joint infalmmation, popping joints, anxiety attacks, neuropathic pains throughout my body. It is a living hell. My symptoms slowly got better over the first 6 months. But recently I have felt like I did months ago. Do not take! POISON | M | 34 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 6/16/2011 | 1 | possible kidney infection | This is the second time I've taken Cipro. By the morning of the third day, I had itching starting at my ankles, within a couple hours I had what looked like hives up my legs, by the next day it was covering my legs, butt, and arms accompanied by puffiness at my ankles and wrists. As well, all my joints became stiff | F | 40 | 3 days 2X day | 6/15/2011 | 1 | UTI | Neropathy in my feet | After only 3 doses, had painful neuropathy in my feet. Took the 4th dose without thinking, and then read up on the side effects. I didn't take any more, but it still took a good week for the symptoms to subside. | F | 39 | 2 days 3X day | 6/13/2011 | 1 | bladder infection | I had very bad pain in the upper thighs on both legs. I was in & out of the bath room all day. I was sooooooo tired & I slept all day. My lower stomach hurt worst after I started the Cipro. I took it for 4 days & told my husband that I wa going to look up side effects because of the way I was feeling. Thank you to everyone that posted because I'm going to quit taking Cipro today. I will never take this agian I felt like I was dragging the whole time & I have no energy. I would rather try something natural. Cipro is not the "ANSWER". Thanks for the warning with all your replys!!!!!! | F | 47 | 10 days 500 mg 2X day | 6/11/2011 | 1 | For inflamed Prostate | Burning skin (not sunburn) in buttocks, waist and inner thighs. Left ankle pain. | Quit taking once these symptoms started. It's been 5 days and no relief from symptoms. Will check back soon. | M | 34 | 9 days 2X day | 6/8/2011 | 1 | Prostate pain | I am 20 months out now and, among countless other Cipro-induced horrors, I still cannot walk. I doubt I'll ever be able to walk again, as my legs and feet are utterly destroyed. I'm only 30 and prior to this had never had ANY problems of this sort--I was incredibly active and healthy. Cipro has cut my life incredibly short. All the little things you take for granted? I can't do those things anymore. How I've made it this far without ending my own life is beyond me, but every SINGLE day I am severely tempted. The things this horrific poison can do to your body and your health are beyond your wildest imagination, and your absolute worst nightmares. Don't trust doctors to tell you the truth about this poison--they're in Bayer's back pocket and even docs cannot fathom what this crap is capable of doing to the human body. Warn everyone you know to stay AWAY from all quinolone antibiotics! We are being POISONED and the government doesn't give a f---!!! | POISON: RUN!!!!!!! | M | 30 | 7 days 500 2X day | 6/7/2011 | 1 | Diverticulitis (recurrent) | Each time I have been prescribed the combination of Cipro and Flagyl, I have experienced progressively more severe side effects, The first few days are not so bad; however, the longer on the combo the worse the symptoms, which are, extreme cramping (on a par with labor pains), bloating, inflammation of the whole lower abdominal region, feeling as though my colon received a caustic burn, itching in my ears, fatigue, and mental confusion. I have told my doctor EVERY TIME she wants to prescribe it, but my pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Apparently it's the preferred treatment. I am not one to exaggerate and maybe her other patients do. This drug combination made me feel as though my colon was going to rupture and I would die. I could hardly walk, I felt as though I was carrying 9'lb bowling ball in my pelvis. My uterus felt like it was being expelled through my vagina due to the pelvic pressure. My bladder felt battered and I had to urinate every 20 mins to an hour because I couldn't stan | Plain and simple, I believe this to be poison. Will NEVER take it again. Like others, I have also suffered knee problems, plantar faciatis, and tinnitus that I now wonder if it was the result of taking this medication | F | 49 | 10 days 500 MG 2X day | 6/5/2011 |
