| 1 | UTI | I was prescribed Cipro last year as i'm allergic to Sulfa drugs and my condition worsened as soon as i started taking it. i got severe migraines and was limited to bedrest for two weeks. Went to ER and they sent me back with another med. Nobody realized i was having debilitating migraines because of Cipro. Last week i had same infection and my PCP prescribed Cipro again. I took one pill at night and woke up with severe headache. took morning pill and continued to have headache, back and neck pain all day today until i checked this website. It finally dawned on me that it is because of CIPRO! | never taking this antibiotic again. | F | 33 | 1 days 500mg 2X day | 3/8/2011 | 1 | SBBO | Every few days for the past 6 months since I took Cipro I have developed a new tendinitis (tendinopathy), new joint line pain (arthralgia), inability to articulate a joint, eye problem, or something else. At 6 months out, I have 51 tendinopathies, 6 arthralgias, 2 myositises, eye problems, low testosterone, and more! I no longer have night time or morning erections, have gone days without erection. I haven't been able to work for more than 6 months. To be crippled for years is a common reaction to Cipro. | To be crippled for years with tendon, cartilage, joint, ligament, nerve, eye, or endocrine damage is a common and typical side effect of Cipro. There are support groups all over the internet with hundreds other crippled users and their stories DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DRUG FOR ANY REASON! | M | 33 | 9 days 500mg 2X day | 3/5/2011 | 1 | uti | my mouth started hurting soon after taking his medication. i thought it was because i grind my teeth but on the 4th day my jaw joint hurt so bad i could not do anything but cry. i have had teeth knowcked out, i cut off two of my fingers on a table saw and have been dealing qith back pain for yuears and i have NEVER felt pain this intense and bad. | AVOID CIPRO AT ALL COSTS!!! | M | 27 | 4 days 500mg 2X day | 3/5/2011 | 1 | Acute Prostatitis, UTI | Extreme heat/pain in the legs, Heart palpitations,tachycardia, Tendinitis, possible nerve damage, Headache/muscle aches, Panic attacks, psychosis, Insomnia, Muscle spasms, Weakness, low energy/ Fatigue | Please DO NOT take this drug unless it is a last resort. I have taken other antibiotics before but never had serious long term side effects. It has been 6 months since I took this medicine and to this day I am suffering. I had to go to ER twice and numerous doctor visits due to side effects. Doctors do not seem to know much about the side effects and they think you are hallucinated but ONLY the person suffering from the symptoms knows what is going on. I have notified FDA about the side effects and everyone should as well. CONTACT FDA NOW 1-800-332-1088 OR file online http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/default.htm Only people who are suffering know the painful implications of using Cipro. The best we can do is inform others about it and hope things improve overtime. | M | 28 | 30 days 500 MG 2X day | 3/4/2011 | 1 | SIBO | Every few days for the past 6 months since I took Cipro I have developed a new tendinitis (tendinopathy), new joint line pain (arthralgia), inability to articulate a joint, eye problem, or something else.

There are support groups all over the internet with hundreds other crippled users and their stories such as: http://www.facebook.com/FluoroquinoloneToxicity#!/pages/The-Wall-Of-Pain-Bayer-Johnson-Johnson/185153868191364 DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DRUG FOR ANY REASON! | M | 33 | 9 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/4/2011 | 1 | infection | I had severe abdominal pains, vomiting multiple times, and unable to sleep as a result. I have never had this reaction to any other antibiotic. I asked my doctor for a different precritpion. Absolutley horrible experience. | F | 31 | 1 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/2/2011 | 1 | UTI | Chronic, debilitating tendinitis and peripheral neuropathy. Dry eyes & sinuses. Also some mild IBS & insomnia. | Run, don't walk, from this poison. I took it one year ago and after one week woke up with my achilles tendons on fire. Even though I immediately stopped taking it my symptoms greatly worsened over the next few weeks. Research this drug... fluoroquinolone antibiotics can damage your cellular mitochondria and DNA. The damage is long-term (possibly permanent) and debilitating. I used to be very fit and athletic. Now I'm in a wheelchair... STILL... one year after taking it. | M | 43 | 9 days 250 mg 2X day | 3/1/2011 | 1 | Kidney/Bladder Infection | After 4 doses, I ended up in the ER with extream pelvic pain, and nausea. Thought I had kidney stones because of the infection. The doctors found nothing wrong and sent me home to continue meds. That night, awful pain in pelvic area, nightmares, sweats, anxiety and woke up with the worse migraine ever. Consulted with two Urgent Care doctors over the phone the next day and one of them told me I was having a toxic adverse reaction to the Cipro and to stop taking. Spent the day anxious, exhausted, and feeling like I could throw up. Last night, nightmares again, stabbing cramp pains in right leg and anxiety again this morning. This drug is a nightmare. | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!!! | F | 50 | 3 days 500 mg 2X day | 2/28/2011 | 1 | sinus's staph infection | I have horriable hip pain,left shoulder,left knee cap and lower back. I feel disorientated...like my head is cloudy...been having ice pick headaches in my right temple...can't truly rest. wake up in pain. Just don't feel right..and the headaches are blinding. | I was given Cipro with amoxicillin 500 2xD also. I'll never forget what the doctor said " I'm given you a double whammy" well, I guess he did.. i would never take this again... | F | 45 | 7 days 500 2X day | 2/27/2011 | 1 | persistent sinus infection/cold | I started taking Cipro on Saturday around noon, by 9pm and second dose my right side hip bone area was in excruciating pain, I feel like it is dislocated. I could barely get out of bed to go to the bathroom. I have stopped taking med when I saw this website. | I cannot believe the doctors are so willing to prescribe this medication when it causes so much distress. I hope we all heal relatively quickly. I just took this damn medicine for a cold/sinus infection and would rather have the cold as opposed to this horrible pain in my hip that sounds like it wont be going away any time soon. | F | 34 | 1 days 500mg 2X day | 2/27/2011 | 1 | bronchitis | A few months after taking Cipro I tore my achilles tendon. Not sure if it is related but I've heard it can cause tendon injuries up to a year after taking. | M | 35 | 10 days 250 mg 1X day | 2/26/2011 | 1 | sinus infection | I wish I found this site earlier. I took one 500mg Cipro and within 1 hr had a disoriented feeling. Went to bed and started hallucenating. Next morning my joints were making a cracking sound and I felt sore. Next night could not sleep. 3 days post taking one pill still feel disoriented and joints are stuff. Started taking high dose calcium/magnisum to hopefully get this stuff out of my body. Sad to hear all these stories. This drug should not be used as a first line treatment with so many other options out here. Good luck to all... | M | 43 | 1 days 500 1X day | 2/26/2011 | 1 | UTI | Hip tendon pain, leg and neck nerve pain. | If I had know of the Black Box Rating I would not have taken this drug. I am or was very active. My GP had no explanation except "I prescribe this to so many people with no problem". She could not seem to grasp the possibility that Cirpo could continue to damage my body. | F | 48 | 3 days 250 2X day | 2/25/2011 | 1 | infection | causes long term muscle tendon and central nervous sytem damage .years after drug stops. side effects wont appear till it is too late to stop the drug.more info at fqresearch.org/. DONT TAKE THIS DRUG UNLESS UR ABOUT TO DIE. | M | 20 | 6 days 500mg 2X day | 2/21/2011 | 1 | ClostridiumDifficle | Caused a lot of problems. | M | 33 | 30 days 500 3X day | 2/20/2011 Patient History | 1 | Diarrhea | I was prescribed Cipro by a doctor because i had had bad diarrhea for a full week and it was getting worse (blood, etc..) Started taking Cipro and was warned that it may make my Achilles tendons hurt a little. after 1 day my left knee and my left hip/pelvis/lower back were in more pain than i've ever felt in my life. Trying to get out of bed and go to the bathroom with bad diarrhea is hard enough, but trying to keep things in while trying to strain my body against pain is nearly impossible. i have messed myself 4 times since being on Cipro because the pain just made it impossible not to go while in transit. After seeing this forum, i'm going to call my doctor today and demand a new medicine.. i just hope my body goes back to it unpainful state. i would definitely avoid this drug. | M | 32 | 2 days 500 2X day | 2/17/2011 | 1 | Infection | Pain in feet, particularly my toes and toenails! | Stated on Cipro once several years ago and my toes starting hurting, relatively severe, so I discontinued and changed antibiotic even though the Dr. Was not familiar with that side-effect. The pain started leaving in a day or so and went away completely. Was recently prescribed Cipro again and thinking the first experience might have need a fluke, after two and a half days, I once again awoke to my toe nails and the area around them hurting fairly severely. I have stopped taking the medicine and after finding this web-site, have some serious questions as to why Doctors are so freely prescribing this antibiotic. I only hope the pain goes away as it did the first time! It's odd that I seem to be the only person who has mentioned the toes. This is really a strange place for the pain to set in. | M | 55 | 3 days 500 2X day | 2/13/2011 | 2 | sinus infection | Had some additional fatigue in my arm for the past week, and did no real strenuous exercise. I think only 2 days of CIPRO was just not worth it. | F | 55 | 2 days 500mg 1X day | 2/11/2011 Patient History | 1 | sinus infection | Nausea, Muscle spam, Insomnia, Anxiety, Headache | Cipro has to many serious side effects. Doctors should think twice before they give a prescription for Cipro, only if there is no other option. This antibiotic has a black label warning from the FDA... There are other alternative antibiotics on the market. | F | 42 | 2 days 2X day | 2/11/2011 | 5 | Kidney Infection | NONE | I averaged about 5-6 kidneys infections per year since I was 17. This (and Levaquin) always cleared them up super fast and with zero side effects. Unfortunately it no longer works for me as I've taken way too much of it over the past 10 years. My Doctor informed me that it doesn't really work much anymore for about 40% of people now that it $4 at Walmart and therefore prescribed for just about everything! Luckily a single dose of 100mg of Macrobid every time I have sex prevents the kidney infections from occurring at all these days. | F | 29 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 2/6/2011 |
