| 5 | UTI/Kidney Infection | I was having horrible pains in my kidneys and could hardly breathe or walk due to it. The Cipro helped with the infection pretty quickly and I could actually relax and breath normal and walk. The Cipro gives me a motion sickness/nauseous feeling a few hours after I take it in the morning. I feel slightly woozy and hazey, but other than that I have no joint pain. I chalk my side effects up to the common side effects it said I would have. I took care of my problem very well and I have been feeling much better. I look forward to when I'm done taking the antibiotic so that the woozy/hazey feeling goes away, but it's nothing that completely disrupts my day. | F | 22 | 10 days 500 MG 2X day | 3/24/2011 | 1 | Urinary Tract Infection | Three months after taking this, I am STILL coping with daily pain in my muscles and joints, sleeping problems, and anxiety. | F | 35 | 7 days 1X day | 3/23/2011 | 1 | bladder infection | I've taken cipro about 3 different times everytime it made me sick and i wonder if this drug is to blame. I have cronic migraines Fibromyalga and Anklosling Spondilitis Arthritis. I've been on so many different drugs its hard to say if Cipro is the reason for some or all of my problems. | F | 29 | 3 times 200 7X M | 3/23/2011 | 5 | UTI | I have been taking Cipro for 8 days of a 10 day prescription. I have experienced mild anxiety and mild depression. I have no trouble going to sleep at bedtime, but wake up every night and have difficulty going back to sleep. When sleeping having very vivid, bizarre nightmares. I am also having mild headaches, but I intend to finish the remaining two days of treatment. | F | 50 | 10 days 250MG 2X day | 3/21/2011 | 1 | Chronic UTI's and Kidney infections | For chronic uti's, bladder and kidney infections purchase a product called UTI clear is has been a life saver to me. I have been antibiotic free for 2 months after taking cipro for 3 months at a time due to my bladder infections. The UTI clear helps your body get rid of the infections naturally without the side effects and use of antibiotics. This product has saved my life. Try it and you will never take antibiotics ever again for a bladder, uti or kidney infection :) | F | 29 | 3 months 500 mg 2X day | 3/21/2011 | 1 | UTI | Chills and fever developed with severe headache, muscle aches, joint pain that are persisting, but slowly improving. Emergency room doc thought I had the flu, but flu swab was neg. Will never take this medication again. I go to Zumba 3 x a week, but have been unable since this all began. | F | 58 | 2 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/20/2011 | 1 | sinusitis | severe headache, couldn't walk w/out help, dissorientation, couldn't sleep, then numbness/tingling in hands/legs, loss of strength, joint pain, memory loss, nervous system damage, loss of motor skills, difficulty talking, mild depression, tinnitis, temperature sensitivity, vertigo, labral tear in hip from bending leg. 4 years later and I can't walk w/out difficulty. I still have balance issues and nervous system damage. I used to be very active; jog, ski, pilates, etc. | DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG! IF YOU HAVE A REACTION LIKE I DID YOU WILL REGRET TAKING IT FOR A VERY LONG TIME. | F | 50 | 2 days 200 mg 2X day | 3/19/2011 | 1 | Bronchitis | After being on Cipro for 3 days large "eggs" appeared on both my wrists in the same spot - the back of my knees became very sore and hard to bear weight - experienced alot of belching - acid reflux - stopped taking on my own - just happened to have a scheduled visit with my gyno that same week (my family doctor had prescribed the Cipro) I showed him my wrists while I was there. He told me I was smart to stop taking it - Said he had been prescribed Cipro for a sinus infection and after a few days he could hardly walk - went to the E/R and they told him his achilles tendon could have ruptured | I would never take this again | F | 49 | 3 days 2X day | 3/19/2011 | 1 | Bladder Infection | Extreme dizziness, nausea, tremors, extreme agitation, anxiety, disrupted sleep. | This medicine is wicked. I felt worse on it then I did before taking it. Caused extreme agitation and anxiety. Couldn't handle it. Please be sure to weigh the side effects with the problem. | F | 48 | 4 times 500 mg 1X day | 3/18/2011 | 5 | UTI | mild nausea, night sweats | I've been on this script a few times for UTIs. I've never had an issue that concerned me while taking it. For those asking why it's still on the market...the FDA is here to make money, not care about your health. There are TONS of "medications" and treatments the FDA approves that are horrifying. Look into it! | F | 40 | 3 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/17/2011 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Started getting numbing/tingling sensation on left arm, spread to whole left side (arm, leg, face), anxiety attack (never experienced one before - horrible experience), inability to focus, and was dehydrated. | My doctor's office was no help, my husband had to take me to the hospital where they thought I had suffered a stroke as only the left side of my body was affected and when they touched my left side I had loss of sensation. After all the tests they determined it was an allergic reaction to CIPRO. After 4 months I still suffer from the tingling in my left hand and problems with pain in my hand/finger. Would not recommend this to anyone. | F | 44 | 1.5 days 2X day | 3/17/2011 | 1 | UTI | My husband was in remission from CLL (leukemia) when he took Cipro for a UTI and afterward went rapidly downhill. It didn't cure the UTI, so he took it again. White blood count soared and he died 3 miserable months later. | I can't prove Cipro contributed to my husband's death but it sure seemed that way. Some research I've seen says antibiotics, ironically, can cause problems with the immune system. | M | 68 | 10 days ? 1X day | 3/17/2011 | 5 | Post Surgery Incision Infection | None at all. No side effects whatsoever. No tendon or joint issues. No stomach issues. No sleep issues. I noticed no difference in anything, except lightning fast healing. | I was so freaked out by reading some of the horrid comments here that I hesitated 24 hrs to take Cipro, which as it turns out was my biggest mistake - hesitating. I don't doubt some had issues but everyone is different and I think most people w/ adverse reactions are more likely to post. So here is my good news for you, I had no side effects and I had immediate stoppage of my infection. When I say immediate, I mean it. The infection & drainage stopped and I started healing after a couple hours of first dose. My only regret is waiting to start, if your Doctor prescribed Cipro, take it & determine for yourself how it affects you. | M | 39 | 7 days 500MG 2X day | 3/16/2011 | 5 | pouchitis | I have experienced no negative side effects. | I have lifted weights for more than 30 years and been on cipro for the last 2 years. I have experienced no tendon issues of any kind. This drug has been a life saver in regards to eliminating the health issues associated with pouchitis. | M | 61 | 2 years 500mg 2X day | 3/15/2011 | 1 | gum infection | After 1st day noticed pain in my knee joints and ankles, thought it was due to sunburn in that area. After 2nd day fingers swelled up and having a hard time closing and opening my hands. 3rd day woke up with neck pain and bumps on the back of my neck by my hairline, read side effects of Cipro and stopped taking this drug. Hope by stopping my joints will go back to normal. | If so many people are affected by this drug why is it still on the market? | F | 46 | 3.5 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/15/2011 | 1 | UTI | Fever, chills, dry heaving, lower back pain, intense abdominal pain (very sharp), loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, headache, yellowing of the white of my eyes, face was red like a sunburn and slightly swollen, tightness of chest, developed a dry cough that hurt deep in chest, fatigue, muscle/joint pains- my jaw was very tender & sore, my ankles were swollen, overall entire body was sore feeling, light headedness/faint. | I can't even remember the last time I had an actual fever. After taking Cipro for 1.5 days it felt like I was on death's door. I couldn't barely move, couldn't eat, had a fever of 100.6 and was shivering at the same time, freezing cold, woke up in the middle of the night shaking and sweaty, ran to bathroom and dry heaved on and off for 3 hours. Thought by morning I'd be fine, nope just got worse and worse. I had chest pain and then a strange cough that had a metallic taste. My friend who was with me got concerned when she saw my eyes, she said they were discolored, totally freaked me out. I stopped taking the drug. I'm slowly feeling better. This has been the worst! Doctors need to take a good hard look at this drug. It's toxic! | F | 30 | 1.5 days 250mg 2X day | 3/14/2011 | 1 | Misprescribed for pelvic sports inj | Endless: arrythmia, insomnia, night terrors, central and peripheral nervous system damage - myoclonic jerks, brain zaps, fasciculations, altered breathing, digestion breakdown (and multiple food allergies), tooth/gum damage, ulcers, appaling head sensation/pressure, shocks into eyes/teeth/across body, full body electrical meltdown experience, dehydration, joint pain, clicking/popping in nasal/forehead area, a week of being unable to move, burning pain in spine, extreme anxiety and much more | I was a crossfit athlete, I am now almost 4 months on hopefully moving toward some kind of recovery - aware that cycles exist so perhaps not, but optimistic. I've been crippled, from elite fitness to crippled. I lost 15kg in muslce mass after taking this poison. I'm posting my narrative from Oct 2010 onwards here: http://noquinolones.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=stories&action=display&thread=2455 | M | 39 | 8 days 500mg 2X day | 3/14/2011 | 1 | diverticulitis | on the 7th day i woke up and realilzed i was having trouble focusing my eyes. that cleared up in minutes so i shrugged it off. on the 8th day, at my computer in work, i suddenly could not focus again and experienced double vision. to say i was frightened would be an understatement. this episode also disappeared but took longer (approx. 40-50 mins.). | left a message for my doc & pharmacist. both called back and said it was definitely the cipro causing my vision problems. needless to say, i stopped the cipro immediately. research i've since read, indicates that my symptoms, although rare, will most likely have no lasting effects. scareyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!! | F | 57 | 8 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/14/2011 | 1 | diverticulitis | When I take cipro it causes lower abd cramping and severe bloating. Stomach and lower abd ached and had to lay down to get relief. Felt horrible all over | Feel worse after taking this medication. Will not take again! | F | 84 | 14 days 250mg 2X day | 3/13/2011 | 1 | Kidney Infection | low blood pressure (90/60), slow heartbeat (50 bpm), weakness in the joints (especially the knees), visual hallucinations | Had a kidney infection from Prilosec OTC shutting down the acid pumps in my kidneys as well as my stomach. I was pissing blood so I went to the hospital and they gave me a ten day supply of Cipro. Went home and took one and immediately begin to feel side effects. It started with visual hallucinations while looking at a tv screen, then weakness in my joints to the point I could hardly grab anything or stand up. I took my pulse/BP and they were both scarily low(50 BPM and 90/60). Immediately stopped taking this poison and went to sleep. By the grace of god I woke up the next morning back to normal. DO NOT TAKE THIS POISON FOR ANY REASON | M | 23 | 1 days 30 1X day | 3/8/2011 |
