| 4 | bone infection | diarrhea | F | 35 | 7 days 500 2X day | 8/28/2010 | 1 | Kidney infection/UTI | Completely crippled, hell on earth. | I was incredibly healthy before I was POISONED by my doctor with this trash for a simple UTI. I am now a cripple. Seven days worth was all it took. I cannot tell you the HORROR this has caused me and my family, and it never ends. I have lost everything (except for my infection! It didn't even work for that!) and I hope to see the day Bayer gets their @ss sued off for the absolute devastation this poison has caused me and countless others. Shame on this country for allowing such poison to be used on unsuspecting victims. I will warn everyone I come in contact with NEVER to take this "drug" until the day I die, which at this point I pray will be soon. | F | 35 | 7 days 500 2X day | 8/28/2010 | 1 | UTI | CIPRO is a drug that has caused me severe abdominal and iam only on day3< I didnt have any abdominal pain with the UTI before taking this drug. This medicine seems somewhat toxic as if i took something that isnt right at all. | F | 46 | 10 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/28/2010 | 1 | UTI | Extreme body pain, tight muscles, restlessness at night. Interestingly, it was only on this go-around with Cipro that I was able to confirm what has been going on in my life for the last 2 years...since the last time I took Cipro!!! After being healthy, pain-free, and active for 60 yrs, I suddenly had horrible flu-like body pain, especially my knees and feet. Have not be able to comfortably wear most shoes (I used to wear heals almost every day and LOVED shoes) and on some days, walking is almost unbearable. I developed intense itching all over and have had to take a daily antihistamine ever since. I work full-time so the impact on my life has been tremendous. As I previously mentioned, only until these symptoms were exacerbated with this round of Cipro did I "connect the dots"!!! I checked my records and sure-enough, Cipro is when this all began!! I have clear recollection of a conversation with my Dr two years ago about how I was feeling and he TOTALLY laughed and sco | Cipro took care of the UTI but at what "cost"?... the side-effects are life-altering. | F | 62 | 5 days 250mg 2X day | 8/26/2010 | 1 | kidney infection | Day 5: Woke up with racing, palpitating heart; tingling in calf muscles; feeling like I was going to pass out. Day 8: Severe episode of nearly passing out (while driving!), tingling in calf muscles, weakness in legs, racing/palpitating heart. The documentation says these are serious side effects that require immediate medical attention. Went to ER; changed Rx to Keflex. Cipro side effects continued every day, sometimes better, sometimes worse, so much that my primary care physician sent me to the ER for a second time in 8 days. No one could do anything other than tell me to drink lots of fluids. Have been on at-home heart monitor for the last month. Heart rate spikes any time of day or night as high as 120 bpm and stays there for hours. Try sleeping with that. Five weeks after taking my last pill of Cipro, the heart irregularities are easing somewhat, although a new development is that my calf/heel muscles have been tight and burning, to the point of needing to use some ice. Restlessle | Before taking Cipro, I was extremely healthy and a frequent exerciser. It has taken more than a month out of my life (so far) and cost me more than $8,000 in ER bills, not to mention time lost from work, family, exercise, and everything else. I will NEVER take this drug again and will tell everyone I know to stay away unless they have absolutely no other option. It is unconscionable that the manufacturer has no antidote or treatments for the known side effects. The FDA warning to seek immediate medical attention is a joke when doctors have no idea what to do. | F | 46 | 8 days 500 MG 2X day | 8/25/2010 | 4 | ACUTE BLADDER INFECTION | F | 32 | 10 days 500 2X day | 8/24/2010 | 2 | Prostatitis | I have never had any joint problem with a knee. Two days after finishing my 10 day treatment, I have minor stiffness and loss of flexibility in my left knee. | M | 70 | 10 days 750 1X day | 8/21/2010 Patient History | 1 | UTI | anxiety, insomnia, then joint pain, muscle twitches, joints popping!, burning sensations on skin... 5 months afterward, most things have improved, some stayed the same. Just recently found out that ionic magnesium helps A LOT. The scientific literature says cipro depletes ur body's magnesium. | When I'm taking my multivitamins and ionic magnesium, my twitches have decreased a LOT, no burning sensations on skin, my joints pop less often. I'm not going off this magnesium for years. Good luck everyone. My lesson was learned: stay the hell away from western meds. | F | 23 | 1 days 2X day | 8/20/2010 | 4 | various infections/multiple times | Very red sore thoat, nausea, chest pain if drank water. | I have had, sepses, UTI, kidney infections, and just recently Facial Cellulitis. For some of these I have had Cipro, it helped until the third time I used it, sudden pain, then can't remember but my Dr emailed to STOP, throw it away NEVER take again, but every antibiotic has side effects. What I would like to know is why am I suddenly getting all these infections, and no answers. I have never had blood transfustion, done drugs, live in nice apartment. The only thing that happened before these infections started, was menapause. | F | 51 | 14 days various 3X day | 8/18/2010 | 1 | uti | day one was great. Woke up and touched my foot to the floor and knew something was wrong. Took a total of 4 pills. Pharmacist told me to stop- and call doc. I went straight to the health food store and will cure my uti with herbs and cranberry juice. In the meantime, what to do but pray about my sore foot and ankle. NEVER again. | F | 54 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 8/18/2010 | 1 | Urinary Tract Infection | so sick to my stomach I feel like Im going insane. | Do NOT take it. This should not be on the market. | F | 30 | 1 days 2X day | 8/18/2010 | 1 | doctor wasn't even sure | severe diarrhea, confusion, memory damage | i only took the drug for 2 days because my husband really advised against it and I'm glad he did. the first night i woke up very disoriented and scared. then the next night i couldn't sleep til 3 am because i had such severe diarrhea. my bum still hurts from that and it was days ago. also i have been repeating my sentences for no reason at all subconsciencely and i believe it's because of this drug. NEVER take this, heed the warnings!! | F | 19 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 8/13/2010 | 1 | uti | first started out as upset stomach, then on day two alot of pain in my knee, its now swollen and very hard to walk. I called the doctors office and told the nurse about this pain, she chuckled and said that the two things are not related. I thought maybe I hurt my knee and couldn't remember, I got on line to find all of this, wow. The sad thing is, they gave me macrobid first and had an allergic reaction, severe...so when I had to stop taking that medicine, the uti was still there and was put on cipro. I am sitting here waiting for the doctors office to call me back. I have never had problems with my knees before, i hate medicine. | F | 36 | 3 days 2X day | 8/11/2010 | 1 | Bacterial infection | Diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, anxiety, depression, poor memory, rashes | I stopped going to the doctor who prescribed me Cipro. It needs to be banned. | M | 35 | 10 days 1X day | 8/9/2010 | 1 | Bladder infection | Knee and elbow tenons swelled and I no longer have mobility or independence. Severe pain in those joints as well. | How did this medicine, pass FDA testing? I will never use another Bayer product again. I also have to believe my doctor has a stronger alliance to drug company's than assisting his patients health. | M | 83 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 8/4/2010 | 1 | Bladder infection | Knee and elbow tenons swelled and I no longer have mobility or independence. Severe pain in those joints as well. | How did this medicine, pass FDA testing? I will never use another Bayer product again. I also have to believe my doctor has a stronger alliance to drug company's than assisting his patients health. | M | 83 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 8/4/2010 | 1 | possible UTI | After only 3 doses, I experienced weakness, numbness, tingling all over body- chills; pulse rate increased; blood pressure increase convulsions with hallucinations until Respiradal given. | I would die before taking this medicine. I had a psychotic breakdown- absolutely horrific experience. I consider this as one of the worst days of my life. I am rarely sick- | F | 53 | 1.5 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/3/2010 | 1 | Prostatits | After day 7 started noticing leg pains, fell down the stairs, felt like my ankle completely went out, now I've got a big bruise, joints are all poppy, I'm 30 and am in very good health, well was, doctor now wants me on Bactrim, hopefully that doesn't cause more problems. | M | 30 | 20 days 500 2X day | 8/2/2010 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Nausea, Vomiting, Dizziness, Altered State, Tingling/numbness of fingers, cheeks, lips, Agitation, Diarrhea, Vaginal Candidiasis, Headache, Leg cramps, Tiredness, Lethargy, Dry Mouth, Mental Fog, Anxiety/Depression | This medicine felt like I was being poisoned. I was prescribed Cipro for 10 days, however I stopped taking it after 3 days because I felt worse than I did with a severe kidney infection. This drug has side effects similar to arsenic poisoning. I believe the main problem with Cipro may be fluoride poisoning. | F | 37 | 3 days 250mg 2X day | 8/2/2010 | 1 | UTI | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! I experienced severe pain and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after a week on Cipro. I dealt with painful vulvodynia for six months after taking Cipro. Two years later, I have developed tendonitis. I feel poisoned. | F | 42 | 7 days 1X day | 8/1/2010 |
