| 3 | sinus infection | Rash , like at first I thought it was big bites,, but then turned into blisters that covered more and more areas in different places on body, thought it was poison ivy , maybe? but realized I have had same thing 3 times in the last year at same time as taking Cipro, guess I am allergic.. UGH! | F | 45 | 10 days 500 2X day | 7/31/2010 | 1 | chronic sinusitis | Joint pain, panic attacks, insomnia, restlessness, mental fogginess, exhaustion. | Feeling very concerned - side effects started immediately and have not been getting much better. I had been feeling quite healthy except for lingering congestion. This was prescribed just to "kick" the sinus infection. I have been feeling a mess since I took it and have no idea how to fix the problems. Feel weak and anxious. | F | 25 | 1.5 days 2X day | 7/31/2010 | 1 | UTI | Debilitating full-body tendon damage, joint destruction, vision damage, tinnitus, skin changes, peripheral neuropathy, extreme muscle wasting, chronic fatigue...need I go on? | It's been nine months now and I'm still COMPLETELY disabled and unable to walk because of this toxic, good-for-nothing POISON! My entire life has been utterly destroyed. I wish nothing but death and destruction on Bayer Pharmaceuticals! | M | 30 | 6 days 500 2X day | 7/31/2010 | 1 | Urinary tract infection | My father committed suicide after taking his last doses of Cipro. I will never know for sure but I will always wonder if the Cipro had a role in it. It does state suicidal thoughts or actions in the possible side effects section about the drug. | Please take it with caution and get help if you have suicidal thoughts. | F | 44 | 5 days 250 MG 2X day | 7/31/2010 | 1 | uti | It's been 3 weeks or so since finishing the drug and now I have tendonitis in both Achilles and the top of the right foot is very painful. I will tell all my family to never take this drug | F | 60 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 7/30/2010 | 1 | UTI & Kidney Infection | Intense abdominal and lower back pain, dizziness, confusion, depression and suicidal thoughts, headaches, drowsy yet having difficulty falling asleep. Nausea after eating and upon waking up. Stiff/weak joints. | I was pretty sure that I had a UTI before arriving through the hospital after searching the internet about what could be wrong. I also had pretty harsh pain in my abdomen. After urine and blood samples and a long wait in the ER, the doctor diagnosed me with a UTI and kidney infection and prescribed me the Cipro. About an hour or so after the first dose I felt nausea. I was dry heaving although I had eaten. I figured I just hadn't eaten enough so I had another snack but the nausea never subsided. It's still day 5 and it hasn't. I jut figured that some antibiotics do this and that would be the worst of it. Wrong! I'm on day 5. For the past 4 days I have had constant abdominal and lower back pain. I find it difficult getting in and out of bed and standing up because my legs feel weak and stiff. The worst was yesterday afternoon. I was confused, slightly delirious, and VERY upset. I was depressed and feeling like I should just give up and stay sick because my pain is almost unbearable. This is ridiculous. I have been taking this medication for less than a week, so I can't imaging what it would be like if I kept swallowing these poison pills for another 5 days. I regret not finding this website before I began Cipro. Needless to say, the rest will be flushed and I am going to try a natural approach in curing my infection. | F | 21 | 5 days 500 mg 1X day | 7/30/2010 | 1 | Dr said | Burns on face, extreme sensitivity to sunlight, dried out eyes, red eyes, depression, achy bones. | A worthless affirmative action Dr. give me this for more much longer than is usually prescribed. He said it was safe. | M | 19 | 1X day | 7/30/2010 | 1 | UTI | Nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness, fatigue | I will NEVER go back on this medication. My job requires me to do a lot of standing, heavy lifting, and I have to do it quickly. I had to call off work not because of the UTI I had, but because of the side effects from Cipro. Take this crap off the market! | F | 27 | 10 days 1X day | 7/29/2010 | 1 | Stomach Infection | I would absolutely not recommend this drug to anyone. My original doctor gave it to me for a UTI, but I experienced blurry vision and asked for something else. Then I ended up in the hospital with severe abdominal pain and was told I had a stomach infection and needed to be treated with Cipro and Flagyl. Well.....aside from the fact that taking it felt 'nuclear' (strange sensation up my throat and nose), also caused nervousness and my heart to race along with diarrhea. Well....5 days into it (today!) I woke up with severe tremors and my body felt heavy and I was confused. I went back to the hospital that prescribed it and the doc said it HAD TO BE THE CIPRO. | CIPRO is horrible and nasty. I would never ever EVER take this drug again! | F | 40 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 7/28/2010 | 1 | Urinary tract infection | Excruciating achilles tendon burning and pain. Can't chase after my 4-year-old, can barely walk. I have lost 4 pounds in 11 days; loss of all muscle tone. | I feel that a milder antibiotic could have been prescribed to me for my UTI. I was a healthy, active 36-year-old mom who loved to exercise; now I am exhausted by walking across my living room. I am trying to stay positive. | F | 36 | 11 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/27/2010 | 1 | bladder infection | Cipro sucks I took this drug for a bladder infection and it clear it out but I now have anxiety issues when I was taking this I went to the er 3 times it made me feel tired I couldn't sleep I had shortness of breath shaking trembleing feeling like I was going to faint I wouldn't recommend this drug they need to take it off the shelve | F | 22 | 10 days 5 2X day | 7/27/2010 | 1 | INFECTION | JOINT PAIN TENDON PAIN HEART ATTACK WITHIN 25 DAYS | POISON | M | 65 | 5 days 1X day | 7/26/2010 | 1 | bladder infection | Strong headaches, higher blood pressure, heart beat went from 60 to 80 - tingling in fingers and toes - insomnia | M | 56 | 2 days 2X day | 7/24/2010 | 1 | infection | Full anaphylaxis. Within 15 minutes of taking my first dosage, my throat was almost totally closed off and the paramedics and firemen are my heroes. I took this drug for a bladder infection and I took one pill. My eyes totally swelled shut, my lips were so swollen they were out to my nose. I received massive doses of steroids, epinephrine, and Benadryl. The doctors commented if my mother would have driven me the ten minutes to the hospital instead of the paramedics (who were able to give me medication) I would not have survived. Be aware if you have known allergies to medications when you start a medication you have never taken before but especially this antibiotic | F | 30 | 1X day | 7/23/2010 | 1 | UTI | severe nausea, back pain, muscle and joint pain | Have told my doctor to NEVER prescribe this for me again! | M | 56 | 3 days 500 1X day | 7/23/2010 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Pain, aching joints, heel pain, burning and tightness, sore/stiff neck & shoulder, right hip and ankles. Blurred vision and headache....i'm sure there will be more to follow :( | runner who can no longer run. was prescribed Cipro last week, took all but the last 4 of 20 pills. first noticeable symptom was the headache, then the heel pain... more symptoms as the days have gone by. basically everything hurts... feels like i ran a Marathon yesterday, but i haven't been able to run all week...it hurts just to walk. going to the Dr. at 2:15. not sure if there's anything that he can do, but i want it on record. | F | 45 | 10 days 500MG 2X day | 7/22/2010 | 1 | An incompetent Dr prescirbed me it | Rash on face, extreme sensitivity to sunlight, depression | M | 18 | 1X day | 7/22/2010 | 3 | UTI | On day three, I notice that I am experiencing some arm/underarm/breast pain/tenderness. It's not enough to freak me out just yet. Other than that, I have experienced no unusual side effects. My UTI has improved. | F | 45 | 3 days 250 2X day | 7/21/2010 | 2 | uti/kidney infection | extreme fatigue, jittery, vivid dreams, pain in tendons, itching under the skin, depression, feeling of emptyness, headaches, dizziness | i took this antibiotic in desperation. I was in a great deal of pain. I would never have taken it knowing its risks. I am terrified to exercise now for fear of rupturing a tendon. I made it clear to the dr. that i have side effects to so much. i rarely even take an aspirin. I am very disappointed that i went the western route. It was a mistake and my kidney is still in pain 5 days later. Totally done with western medicine. Is it possible to heal from this drug? | F | 39 | 5 days 2X day | 7/21/2010 | 1 | UTI | extreme nausea, dizziness, ear pain, weird muscle pains, spike in anxiety/depression, joint pain | The day after I began taking Cipro, I started feeling very nauseous. I was sick to my stomach for about 80% of the time while being on it, even throwing up. I also experienced dizziness and pain in my inner ear, so I thought I had an ear infection. I have been off for several days now but am still having side effects. I had joint pain in my knees and shoulders shortly after taking it and it's still there. I also am still having an odd sensation in my arms, almost like my muscles are fatigued and hurt, like I have been working out at the gym recently, but I have not. I'm very upset the doctor prescribed Cipro to me, because I had an existing anxiety issue and cardiac problem that I've been doing well coping with, and I informed the doctor of that. Shortly after beginning Cipro, my anxiety spiked and my heart began racing despite medicine to help it. I'm still nauseous despite being off the drug for several days, and hoping it subsides soon. It's hard for me to even sit up w/out being sick. This drug appears to have cured my UTI, but I recommend it only as a last resort. I had a different antibiotic for a previous UTI with no side effects (can't remember the name) and I wish they would have given it to me again. | F | 22 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/21/2010 |
