| 1 | UTI | Back and neck pain, headache, insomnia, depressed mood | I skipped the last day as I have never had such neck and back pains before and could only attribute them to the Cipro. Subsequent research shows it to be a common effect. The Cipro did knock out the UTI but I would resort to a less toxic alternative if there should be a recurrence. | M | 58 | 9 days 500mg 2X day | 10/9/2010 | 1 | UTI | Started with lower back pain thinking I slept wrong. By day three my knees tripled in size looking like pumpkins. My foot looked like Frankenstein huge swollen and bruised. The pain was outrageous. I was given pain meds and anti-flammatory medication. Nothing touched the pain. I’ve had my knees drained, shots in my foot, xrays, pain medication given out like candy. I am now crippled and bed ridden. I have a cane and wheel chair. I have missed work for 2 weeks now. The pain has now moved up to my jaw. This condition has made me feel sad and depressed. | I was healthy, active, walked everyday but now I cannot stand. I am in severe pain. I am very depressed. I just hope and pray I get better. | F | 40 | 3.5 days 500 MG 2X day | 10/9/2010 | 1 | Inflamed Uterus | When I first started taking Cipro, I felt so sick to my stomach, I couldn't eat. Then I started having ankle and knee pain. Second day I was on it, i fell down the stairs for NO reason. weeks after taking it, my ankle pain has gotten worse and i feel is down in my foot. | F | 22 | 10 days 500 2X day | 10/6/2010 | 1 | UTI | I took the 1st dose with breakfast & it made me nauseated. So I decided to take the 2nd dose w/o food to see if that would be better. It wasn't. It gave me an upset stomach also. The second day I noticed that my rt. achilles started aching as well as my rt. heel. Then gradually all the muscles in my body started to ache. My head felt as if it was spinning & gonna blow up. I was still nauseated & started feeling anxious for some reason. I called the Pharmacist after the 4th day & he told me that it was normal for Cipro to cause joint pain because it softens the cartilage? WTH? & not to do any strenuous activity & since I was nearly 1/2 way through my treatment to just keep taking it. Well I was supposed to take it for 10 days & only lasted 7. It's been about a week since I took it last & the stomach pain have since gone away but my whole body/muscles ache & I have excruciating pain in my right foot.My heel & achilles is jacked! The advice nurse to | I will NEVER EVER take this med EVER again! Nor will I recommend it to anyone I know. | F | 34 | 7 days 750 2X day | 10/6/2010 | 1 | Kidney infection | Severe leg cramping, headache, random pain all over my body. Instant migraine w first dose at ER. | ER still recommends I take it despite side effects. | F | 42 | 1 days 500 2X day | 10/5/2010 | 1 | bladder infection | extreme dizziness,not able to walk normally | Obviously, some CANNOT take it! | M | 82 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 10/2/2010 | 1 | UTI | Rash on entire body, migraine headaches, insomnia, shortness of breath, tongue swollen, loss of smell and taste, pains in legs and feet | I feel like I was poisoned. My entire life has changed and I'm hoping to feel normal again one day. I have lost in excess of 10 pounds, my muscle tone is all but gone, my skin is extremely dry, I have absolutely no energy - just making a bed exhausts me. Everyone tells me it can't possibly be because of the Cipro because it is completely out of my system by now. I am starting to feel like a hypochondriac. I was a fit 63 year old and would not hesitate wearing shorts but within the past few weeks my muscle tone has diminshed so badly that I look 10 years older than I am and would not be caught dead in anything that revealed my arms and legs. | F | 63 | 3 days 250 MG 2X day | 9/30/2010 | 1 | U T I | After my fourth dose I woke up in the middle of the night and my legs felt like sausages numb and swollen. Tendons became tight as if they were goint to rupture 2 days later I got a burning sensation on left side of head wich caused electrical heat sensations down my arms spine and up my head. I had short memory loss fatigued malice every tendon and joint hurt I wanted death to come :( | It will be a year since I took cipro October 9 2010. I can run again 20 miles a week I weight train again and gained back my muslce and lost body fat. I look good again NO thanks to any doctor. I will run a race oct. 31 (again) after all the pain and suffering my heart and prayers go to all of you. I wiil run my race and hate cipro all the way.And love God for the woderful body he gave to repair itself. [email protected] | F | 44 | 2 days 500 2X day | 9/30/2010 | 5 | UTI | None. | The adverse reactions I read that others had experienced are the culprit of my very minor side effects, including anxiety, insomnia (a result of the anxiety), trembling, and twitching. Since I stopped googling, all of my symptoms have subsided. ALL drugs have side effects and I understand that this class of drugs seems to have more than its fair share, however, I thankfully did not experience any of these. Further, so-called support groups, such as the Fluoroquinolone Toxicity group on Facebook, do more to upset folks than they do to support each other. | F | 46 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 9/29/2010 | 5 | UTI | I have not a single complaint, cipro work extremely well, no side effects, and I had a realy bad infection and terrible pain. | F | 44 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 9/28/2010 | 1 | Reaccuring Prostatitis Infection | Extreme unbearable headaches, abdominal organ inflammation, joint pain and skin rashes. This is definitely poison people, please stay away from this drug. | I was first prescribed Cipro in March of 2010 for 10 days which did not clear up my prostatitis infection, then I was prescribed Levaquin for 14 days. No extreme side effects until I was prescribed Cipro again in April and May of 2010. I immediately got very sick after taking Cipro for two days, extreme headaches and very bad abdominal pain. As of this date I am still dealing with the side effects of this poison. | M | 46 | 14 days 500 2X day | 9/27/2010 | 1 | UTI | Horrible stomach cramping, nausea. | It's been over 2 weeks now and I am still experiencing the bad gastrointestinal side effects. I will never take this drug again. | F | 59 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 9/26/2010 | 1 | Minor UTI | Permanent damage to my vision (nowhere on the warning label!), soft tissue and joint destruction making it nearly impossible to walk, skin issues, tinnitus, pain in my teeth!!! | This is not a drug, this is murder in a pill. DON'T DO IT! | M | 45 | 7 days 500 2X day | 9/26/2010 | 1 | suspected kidney infection | PANIC ATTACKS...ANXIETY..ATTACKS OF DOOM AND FEAR..I WAS IN HELL | I took cipro over 9 months ago and thanks be to god, things are slowly getting better now. I am still not the same person and am not sure if I ever will be again and to be honest, nobody understands what this drug does unless they become a victim as well. My only advice is to eat as well as you can, rest as much as you can, take daily magnesium supplements, folic acid( this one is a MUST as it helps to rebuild the damaged cells), and also vitamins. My GP tried me on various antidepressants and they made things FAR WORSE. Valium did help, but you gotta be careful not to get hooked. All in all, things get better VERY VERY slowly, so hang in there and just try and be positive, though I know from experience that it is easier said than done.

God bless you all | M | 37 | 7 days 1X day | 9/26/2010 | 1 | Suspected Prostate Infection | M | 48 | 500mg 1X day | 9/25/2010 Patient History | 1 | HORRIFIC MISTAKE | CIPRO DESTROYS LIVES! | WE CANNOT ALLOW BAYER AND THE FDA TO CONTINUE CRIPPLING UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE WITH THIS POISON! IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM ANY OF THE NUMEROUS DEVASTATING SIDE EFFECTS CAUSED BY THIS POISON, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST FILE A REPORT WITH THE FDA! YOU CAN DO THIS BY CALLING 800-FDA-1088 OR ONLINE AT: www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/medwatch-online.htm. BAYER MUST BE STOPPED!!! EVERY REPORT HELPS TOWARDS GETTING THIS TOXIC TRASH YANKED OFF THE MARKET AND (GOD WILLING) LEGAL JUSTICE FOR THE NUMEROUS PERMANENTLY DISABLED VICTIMS! | F | 40 | 1X day | 9/25/2010 | 1 | stomach infection | i felt i was on some Drug like meth or LSD .. the first 2 days after taking the drug I felt better ,but I lost appetite the 3rd day and felt light headed as if I'm drunk,hallucinations,panic attacks,anxiety,sevre gastric problems. | Well this drug is the worst I could ever have,I'm a tough guy and never had any problems untill I took this peace of crap,I was not knowing the side effects and blindly took this drug,and now I get light headed after having any dairy products,fullness in the stomach,cant concentrate,light headed ,dizzy feeling most of the time..its been 3 weeks and I just had 4 pills of 500 mg..darn I wish I knew how powerfull this drug is..I'd prefer to go with the ilness rather then going back to cipro. | M | 24 | 2 days 500 mg 2X day | 9/24/2010 | 1 | Sinusitis | Side effects came after course of drugs done in other words, way too late - severe and crippling pain in hip all the way to ankle - spontaneous tendon rupture, bruises appear out of nowhere on my legs - 2 seizures, never had a seizure in my life except for 25 years ago coming out of anesthesia - first 6 hours of the day agony, may have 2-3 hours a day ok, with heavy doses of pain killers and ibuprofen. Absolute poison. Unacceptable level of risk. Not living in fear, but it is always on my mind - will I have another seizure? Or rip other tendons? Will I need surgery, a hip replacement, what could possibly come next? | These side effects have been going on for almost a month. This drug has changed my life - I can no longer do stairs, no way lawn work or housework without risking tendon tears, never mind the pain - wondering how much longer I can make it into work. Clinical doses of Ibuprofen seems to help some, but not without narcotics. I am almost past the "I can't believe it" stage and am entering the angry stage. I see my doctor in a few days - the same one who prescribed it. I am not holding my breath that he will admit to knowledge of the effects - wouldn't that be a liability on his part? All I want and pray for every moment of every day is for this nightmare to cease. | F | 52 | 2 weeks 500 mg 2X day | 9/22/2010 | 1 | urinary infection | extreme rise in anxiety, dizzyness, had to come from work, blod pressure raised way up. Short of breath. pain in my joints, can't sleep. DO NOT TAKE THIS EVER! I'm waiting to feel good enough to work again. I'm totally fatigued. | Every pharmasisit told me it was bad news | M | 53 | 3 days 250 2X day | 9/21/2010 | 1 | Diverticulosis | I have been having pain for the last 4 days in my left leg. It is excruciating at times and didn't realize it was because of the Cipro until I read everyone's comments. I don't recommend this medicine to anyone because you will feel worse than you did before you took it. I will NEVER take this medication again. | F | 53 | 14 days 500 mg 2X day | 9/21/2010 |
