 1  Bacterial intestinal inflammation Tremors, anxiety, panic attacks, brainfog, insomnia, intolerance towards many foods, medicines, vitamins and supplements, concentration issues, light sensitivity, ever-present tingling sensation in my right foot, heart palpitations, difficulty in reading and understanding, spells of severe depression, weakness, fatigue, delayed and slow reactions to situations and questions, spells of memory loss. It has destroyed the abilities and the intelligence of a poet, an intellectual thinker, a guy known for witty replies and unmatched sense of humour and timing. This poison has changed the personality of a guy named Rawal Afzal - myself that is! I took it 14 months ago but this poison never seem to get out of my body. I canīt remember the last time I was well for three straight days! Avoid drugs from the class of Fluoroquinolone or Quinolone, even as eye or ear drops - any form! If youīve taken it, then donīt take any NSAID pain-killers at least six months after it. If itīs a case of fluoride toxicity in your case, giving up on consuming fluoridated water and other products (such as tea bags) might relieve a tiny bit of your symptoms. Worth a try! M 26 7 days

 5  UTI no side effects It is my preferred medication for UTI, which, thankfully, I don't get often, maybe 1 every year or two. I would not want to take a higher dose now that I'm older, but I have found 250mg to be tolerable. It clears the infection for me with no side effects. F 65 3 days

 1  NONE I posted over a year ago questioning some of the side effects reported here for CIPRO. I want to apologize for even questioning any of these reports. I think the pharmaceutical industry is criminal and corrupt. They have also completely ruined my life and future. All aspects of myfuture have been destroyed by them. I wish to apologize again and my heart goes out to all of those suffering from damage done by the pharmaceutical industry. M 19

 3  Enlarged prostate - Cystoscopy Headache, nausea, tingling burning sensation in fingers, diarrhea, slight feeling of feverish. Had a Cystoscopy done Feb 1 after a forceful catheter that caused damage. Sent home 4 days later with Ciprofloxacin and Vicodin. Had no problems for 2 weeks. Follow-up with Dr on 10th. Learned I had an infection in my scrotum area. They prescribed Ciprofloxacin 500mg Along with Flomax. Stopped Flomax after 3rd day - Nightmare of a drug. But now have these side effects from the ciprofloxacin. Pain in my scrotum significantly reduced. But feel like crap. Feel like I'm sick with some flu. No energy, lethargic, irritable..And at night it's worse, Nausea and slight insomnia. Don't know if I would recommend this drug. Perhaps my rating is a bit premature. I have a tendency to feel this drug may do me harm. I have 1 more day of this antibiotic M 55 3 weeks

 1  Urethritis Severe muscle, joint and tendon pain. Difficulty walking at times, had to quit my job as a bartender because my legs are not able for it anymore. Peripheral neuropathy, muscle twitching, all over body pain, cracking joints with every little movement, the list goes on. Do not ever take this drug, it is pure poison! I normally research medications but never did this time, worst mistake of my life. I only took one pill and it has destroyed my quality of life. I can't work now, can't exercise or do anything strenuous. It's 12 weeks since I took that pill and things are only getting worse, I really don't think I'll ever be the same again after taking this stuff. A strong, healthy, active 32 year old and one pill is all it takes to ruin your life. Avoid at all costs!!! M 32 1 days

 1  UTI Nausea, joint pain, feeling weak, disoriented but anxious at night. This drug should be taken off the market! I was supposed to take 500 mg for 3 days but only did 2 days as the side effects were not tolerable. My hip hurt so bad and I felt drowsy during the day yet anxious at night. Next time I'll stick to D-Mannose and just drink 4 liters of water each day. Cranberry juice makes bladder pain worse for me. F 40 3 days

 1  UTI Joint pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness This medicine ruined my life. After just 3 doses I could barley walk. It's been six months and the doctors still don't know what's wrong and deny this drug had anything to do with the weakening of my joints. I was healthy and active before this. I hope my future isn't in a wheelchair. F 22 2 days

 4  Bladder infection A little nauseated, slight low back pain,overall a little ache and weak but not as bad as infection itself. I am in stage 4 kidney disease because of bladder infections and cipro being bad for your kidneys but I have tried other meds for bladder infections and they don't work for me. Cipro is the only thing I have found that will get rid of my infections. I take as many natural medicines as I can instead of man made meds and have a natural hormone Dr who know about natural med and man made med. Some things don't mix but there is no natural med for bladder infection once you have the infection so I would have probably been without a kidney or on dialysis already if I didn't have the cipro. There are side effects to every man made med . The key is to first try to do anything preventable not to get an infection and then if there isn't a natural med you can take ,then find a man made one that gives you the least amount or no side effects, but don't try to take a med off of the market because you have bad side effects from it and it's bad for the kidneys because it might be the only thing that works for someone else and keep them from being without a kidney a little longer or keep them from dying because they can't get this infection out of their body. So instead of trying to put all of your energy to take this drug off the market why don't you come up with one that will get rid of an infection like cipro does but without the harmful side effects and damage to your kidney. If you are on such a witch hunt and really concerned about your kidneys then you might want to check out anything F 50 5 days

 1  Protatitis Ended up using a cane for a year. Achilles injured. All major joints ache, hips, knees, and neck especially. Peripheral neuropathy. Numb lower face to my chest that occurred during the 2nd month of use and has not gone away, 2 years later and counting. Chest pain. Occasional micro seizure like events. Fatigue. Bone pain. Muscle pain. Possibly nerve pain. Anxiety. Regret. I guess these things happen? Only positive is that my Achilles doesn't hurt as much, but my joints seem to be rapidly getting worse. Scary stuff. Trying to remain positive but I keep having symptoms, hence why I am here 2 years after ingesting nearly 90 pills. I took it for just under three months everyday. Mode of action is discovered. Doctors in India did a study and discovered after just 72 hrs, your bloods natural antioxidant was depleted by almost 80%. Imagine the implications of such an oxidative stress event. Cartilaginous lesions implicated as well. M 29 3 months

 2  UTI Gave it up after getting headaches, dizziness, and nausea. I took the cranberry chewables and the infection was gone in 10 days. I noticed improvement the next day after taking the AZO cranberry. No side effects from Azo. Anytime I have another UTI I will treat it with AZO. The Cipro nausea was bad. F 40 2 days

 1  UTI I only took one dose (500mg) and began experiencing the side effects. I cannot concentrate. I have brain fog. After reading the reviews I am stopping the medicine completely. I didn't even have a major infection. The doctor simply prescribed Cipro for a precautionary step. At this point I could only hope that the damage won't be permanent. I used Cipro in the last (2 times at least). Once it made me shaking. I thought Cipro was helping me to fight the bacteria, but probably my body was fighting against Cipro. AVOID this drug at all costs. I curse all the responsible entities (from doctors to the Bayer to FDA). M 33 1 days
