My primary doctor said I should have been only prescribed 5 days initially, as Cipro works in body 2-3 weeks after last dose for infections! She (Primary Dr.) thinks the infection traveled to my bladder & maybe kidneys) & I'm Just so weak all over, blood in urine & fever gone after 3-4 days on Cipro initially! It has been 13 days since I took last dosage! | I think I may have to go to urgent care again Monday, as I do not feel well @ all!

During the day I was slightly spacey at first but that eventually went away as I continued the dose. This is my second time on the drug and have had no adverse reactions. | F | 26 | 10 days 500 mg 2X day | 9/25/2017 | 1 | UTI | After one dose achilles tendon pain, unable to walk normally for a few months, pain all over in legs, later also wrists, arms, and shoulders (peripheral neuropathy,), feelings of weakness in arms, still some pain until a bit over a year after stopped taking it, popping in wrists, ankles and shoulders; | DON'T TAKE IT!!! | F | 32 | 1 days 1000 1X day | 9/4/2017 | 1 | UTI | If you are reading this and haven't taken it please stop !! - Heart palpitations - Numbness in hand - Weak knee - Tendonitis - Diarrhea and digestive | Please do not take this. It ruined my life ! I was an active 27 year old and took this for 10 days and my life has never been the same. I wake up with numb and swollen hand. It cuts off my circulation at my elbow. I have elbow pain and my knees are giving out. My major issue is I have digestive disorder and gas. I have diarrhea every day and my bowel movements have never been the same. My life is depressing and I have anxiety and doctors can't do anything. They won't even recognize its all because of this drug. | M | 28 | 10 days 500 | 8/16/2017 | 4 | Uti/ kidney infection | Anxiety,trouble sleeping, leg and foot aches, neck aches. Tiredness. Pain in legs and feet when walking. Tightness of muscles in legs. Shortness of breath. | I'm on my third day of taking this antibiotic. It's helped my uti infection but the side affects are hard to deal with. I can't walk and stand for long periods of time because I start feeling pain on the ball of my foot and calfs. I wake up in the middle of the night with major anxiety and close to having anxiety attacks. I took this pill last year and I had major depression with suicidal thoughts. I didn't want to take this pill, which I told my doctor but the first round of antibiotics I took (macrobid) didn't work and my uti came back. That's when doc gave me cipro. She said there was nothing else that she thought would work. So I reluctantly accepted to take the pills as the infection was getting to my kidneys. I'm terrified this will cause permanent damage. I want to stop taking it but I don't want my infection to come back. Not sure what to do at this point. Don't know that I can stand taking this pill 7 more days. | F | 39 | 10 days 500 | 7/30/2017 | 5 | Kidney Infection | Slightly itchy | I am allergic to most meds given for kidney infections, but this has been a life saver. Feel so much better | F | 33 | 10 days | 7/10/2017 | 1 | uti | Central,autonomic and peripheral nerve damage. Crazy tight muscles and tendonitis. | Boy, I wish I would have found this site before I took these devil pills. These pills has destroyed my life. I'm still suffering years after taking them. I have taken every test possible and have seen many top doctors and they have come up with no answers to my damage except Cipro. I've taken at least 4-5 courses in my lifetime. The last one really did me in. | F | 47 | 10 days 10 pills | 6/14/2017 | 1 | Staph Infection | Mind fog, depersonalization, muscle aches, muscle stiffness, joint pain, increased anxiety, joint popping, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, memory problems. There's so many others that I can't even remember them all. | I immediately stopped taking Cipro after I had some nasty side effects and after conducting research, I figured out how damaging this medication is to your body. I'm an avid guitar player and have been playing for four years and since I've realized that this drug can damage your joints, it has absolutely terrified me. I have popping in my pelvis region when I walk and in my arms and ankles as well. This is scaring me to death. Please don't take Cipro, ask for anything else. I am terrified all of the time of what my future holds or if I'll even be able to play the guitar, let alone walk. I am 17 years old, Teenagers are not supposed to be worrying about this sort of thing. If I lose the ability to walk or play the guitar, I will be shattered. Life will lose all purpose and there won't be any reason to continue living. This joint popping occurred roughly one day after stopping it and I'm just hoping that it will stop eventually. Cipro is not worth it unless if your life depends on it and you will die without it. I took only 7 pills and I'm just hoping for the best. I already have severe anxiety and this is not helping one bit. Peace, everyone. -CR | M | 17 | 3 days 500 | 5/30/2017 | 2 | Infection in body wbc 15000 | Cold hands and feet, tingling in arms, and shoulder, hip, neck, knee, wrist pain off and on. Headaches. Eyes feel kinda burnin maybe glaze. Week, tired, depressed, anxiety | I do not like this med tried to call Dr about symptoms haven't got a call back. Don't recommend | F | 25 | 10 days 500mg 2x | 5/5/2017 | 1 | uti infection | flu like systems - legs hurt to walk - itching | I had taken this a yr ago for uti infection with no ill effects. This time it was horrible with a 250mg tablet. I changed to Amox-clav 500mg. I will never take cipro again. My Dr. only gave it to me because I requested it. | 1 days 250mg 1X day | 5/4/2017 | 1 | For a suspected prostate infection | Chronic fatigue, excercise intolerance, peripheral neuropathy, depersonalization, anxiety, depression,tendon pain, joint pain. | DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG IT COULD DESTROY YOUR LIFE! DO YOUR RESEARCH! PLEASE BELIEVE ME!!!!! | M | 57 | 3 days 500 | 5/2/2017 | 1 | UTI | Complete zap of energy!! Awful! Not sleepy--just had no energy to do basic routine. I stopped after 4 days - could not continue...it was prescribed for 10 days. | F | 52 | 10 days 500 mg 2X day | 4/22/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | Never take this drug! In just one dose, I felt I aged 30 years. Joints and muscles hurt, ribcage hurt and back as well. Hard to walk and achiles got quite tender. Hoping you get better each day. It's been a week and I still feel symptoms. The drug should be banned!!! | F | 32 | 1 days 500 mg | 4/17/2017 | 5 | diarrhea | A lot of gas.Some trouble sleeping.in the first few days Did not feel 100% most of the time | I became infected during a trip to a South American country. On return I waited two weeks hoping that it would clear up on its own. (The usual "Monetzuma's Revenge" lasts about four days, so this was something more) The Ciprofloxacin did work over about 7 - 8 days. The cure was not immediate. I am tempted to give it a '4' due to the side effects, but I give a '5' because it did work. It's good that we have treatments like this | M | 79 | 10 days 500 2X day | 4/15/2017 | 1 | UTI | Heart palpitations, upset stomach, headaches and loose stools. | It's been approximately 5 weeks since I've been off Cirpo. I still have loose stools, bloating, gas, lower left and right abdominal pain, no poop on toilet paper after bowel movement, feels like my circulation is being cut off from my legs. This medication was horrible I was supposed to take it for a month stopped after 2 weeks. | M | 29 | 2 weeks 500mg | 4/15/2017 | 1 | Erysipelas | . I have been on and off of Cipro many times during the last 15 years. I used to go for long walks with our dogs and was able to walk 10km without tiring. One day, I suddenly could not stand up from a chair. My joints felt stiff and painful and I could barely walk. On another occasion, my feet suddenly felt like the bones were rubbing against each other, with sudden sharp pains. I could not walk and was diagnosed with ankle arthrosis. Then my knees started to be constantly painful and make noises, and I was diagnosed with knee arthrosis. I can hardly walk any distance anymore, stairs are almost impossible and standing up, walking, climbing stairs causes lots of pain. I am on disability since I was 51 yrs old and am permanently retired now, at age 58! If I want to visit a museum, or recreation park or any place where I have to walk a lot, I'd need a wheel chair to get around. In spite of losing about 35kg of weight, my problems and pains still get worse year after year. This all sta | After getting allergies from all other antibiotics, Cipro was the only I could take to reduce infection of my legs due to erysipelas. At times I took one package to get rid of an infection, other times I was put on Cipro/antibiotics long term to prevent new infection. I am on antibiotics again, this time Cefuroximaxetil, apparently have no or little side effects from this and... no allergy! I suggest trying any and all other antibiotics before agreeing to cipro, even if the cipro might help quickly, but the risks that come with it are too high. You risk ruining your active physical life completely, and that can lead to depression,too... plus the constant pain and medication taken for that can have a strong impact on your body and emotional life! Be very careful if you do take this drug, rest a lot and watch for signs of side effects and sudden pain. Have seen people with worse conditions than mine who actually are in a wheel chair now after taking cipro and tearing a meniscus tendon! I wouldn't mind if they finally take this drug off the market, even if I am one of the people who had been depending on it! | F | 58 | 11 months 500 2X day | 4/5/2017 |
