| 1 | uti | many | dont take it! | M | 37 | 3 days | 1/20/2010 | 1 | urinary tract infection | anxiousness then hands got beat RED and extreme itching......a few hours later the soles of my feet got beet RED and extreme itching. | This was after taking only ONE pill. I had taken Cipro in the past a never had any problem. I went on the internet to discover that recently the drug was being newly manufactured in India but the name of the mfg was the same as before. | F | 70 | | 1/20/2010 | 4 | diverticulitis | nausea, fatigue, insomnia, etc. | Was taking it with Flagyl which can produce some nasty side effects as well. | F | 49 | 10 days | 1/19/2010 | 1 | diverticulitis | Pounding headache; severe back pain, numbness in hands, leg cramps, diarrhea, intestinal pain, unbelievable total body hot flashes like doomsday was here. | F | 64 | 7 days | 1/19/2010 | 4 | UTI | Uphoria, listlessness and then significant fatigue. This is my fourth day of taking Cipro. I went to Target to shop and felt really tired and this is after resting for the last couple of days. It was hard to lift the big laundry detergent bottle. | I think this is a great antibiotic and has cleared my infection. I think it may be too strong for a simple UTI and I wonder why it was prescribed to me. I guess because I may be allergic to Sulfa drugs. I think it should be saved for Anthrax. Other than the fatigue, I have had no other bad side effects though. I find the fatigue rather odd. | F | 43 | 5 days | 1/18/2010 | 1 | I had problem with my voice | i lost my erection after taking it for 3 days.i took it for another 2 days before i realized it was the cipro have been taking. i could not make love to my wife for 3 good days and it was really annoying. i was depressed,lost concentration and can't think straight. guys should please watch out for this medicine. | i am still having problem sleeping 11 days after stopping cipro. i don't know if that's part of the side effect too. i sleep 2 to 3 hours every night and remain awake for the rest of the night. | M | 37 | 5 days | 1/17/2010 | 1 | Kidney infection | Yes, The Cipro appears to be clearing up my Kidney Infection. With it came many side effects. The first day I took it I got very sharp pains in my lower abdomen that were so bad I curled up in a ball on the floor for a half hour. I have never felt pain that bad before. When the pain subsided I got up and walked to the kitchen and instantly got light headed. Instead of getting a drink, I ended up heading for the couch. On my way there I literally felt drunk... I couldn't walk straight and everything was starting to go black. Just as I got to the couch my lower lip got extremely tingly and I blacked out. Days 2, 3, and 4 I had pain in my hands, arms, legs, feet, and hips. I had chest pain and was short of breath. My mind was in a fog. I couldn't think, couldn't concentrate. Headache. I felt depressed. Day 5 I had that sharp pain in my lower abdomen again.. This time I was curled up on the couch for an hour before it got better. I literally thought I was dying. | I've been doing some research online for home remedies. I came across one that said to take a shot of Apple Cider Vinegar 3 times a day. They claim that it's good for getting rid of Bladder and Kidney infections. So I started this yesterday...Not only could this be helping my infection, But all my side effects seem to have up and disappeared. LOL... But it did burn going down the first 2 times :) So be ready! | F | 29 | 10 days | 1/16/2010 | 5 | proctitis, post-resection | Muscle soreness | Without Cipro, I am basically disabled. I get painful rashes only Nystatin will take care of, and the anus and rectum are inflamed enough that I have to "go" every 20 minutes. Combined with the rash and constriction due to inflammation, I am in pain and unable to work most of the day. The choice is simple: Cipro, or Naproxen Sodium + Clortrimazole/Nystatin + Lanacaine + Immodium. People need to read up on anything they are taking - every person is different, and your doctor has no way of knowing how it will affect you. Yet. | M | 35 | 24 months | 1/14/2010 | 1 | Inflamed Cervix | Nausea... so bad...bloated 24/7... dizzy, faint feeling, weak, no energy, tired all the time. I don't feel like doing anything. I can not believe that other people have this feeling of 'doom' like I am going to die - I am so sorry to say I am happy to read that it is not me... I felt convinced that I am dying - now I can tell myself it is the drug!!! | I usually NEVER have bad side effects from meds... can't even think of one time in my life... this drug is the worst!!! A constant feeling of nausea to the point of gagging - dizzy all the time - an uneasy feeling - have to keep lying down, HEADACHE, put it to you this way - I feel like I am about 95. I just had my last 500 mg pill this morning - now I am scared because everyone is saying their side effects linger so long! | M | 37 | 7 days | 1/13/2010 | 1 | infection | Large red rash on face, depression, nausea, watery diarrhea | M | 32 | 2 weeks | 1/12/2010 | 1 | kidney/intestinal infection | Bad headache, severe lightheaded and dizziness. | I was prescribed 250 mg twice a day. I developed the above symptoms after only taking the second pill. Stopped taking the pills and notified my doctor. | F | 64 | 1 days | 1/12/2010 | 1 | uti | anaphylaxsis(severe allergic reaction) which required me to call 911, paramedics saved my life, spent all night in the ER | i have severe anxiety and depression since taking cipro | F | 50 | 2 days | 1/11/2010 | 5 | UTI | None. I took it last june with none either. Works better than macrodantin; which I used previously. | I was shocked and scared when I read the other stories. Im usually very sensitive to medications but this one is great! | F | 50 | 5 days | 1/10/2010 | 4 | UTI | Tiredness, slight insomnia. | I have been having recurrent UTI's for the past few months (or it could possibly be the same UTI that refuses to go away). Until now my doctor had just been prescribing me light weight anti-biotics like Amxoacilin, but since it didn't seem to be helping he prescribed me this instead. I just finished the dose and I feel fine. My abdominal and lower back pain is gone and I'm going in for another check up soon. | F | 21 | 3 days | 1/10/2010 | 1 | Diverticulitis | soar in every joint especially legs and lower back. | It should carry a warning label on the prescription bottle from the pharmacy - had taken Cipro before and never had this reaction | F | 42 | 8 days | 1/9/2010 | 2 | Staph Infection | Dizziness, nausea, insomnia, alternating cold and hot, anergia, strange shaking, weird, swollen, allergic left outer ear which is red, hot, swollen, itchy, extremely puffy and flaky, brain fog, swollen tongue, flu-like symptoms, aggravation of irritable bowel syndrome-like problems, headaches, stuffy nose. | I had taken cipro in the past with minimal side effects but this time...WOW...what a doozy. I haven't taken it in a long time and will probably never take it again. Not quite sure what they have changed in their formulation but something is definitely different. It took a long time to clear up the staph and I got a whole host of terrible side effects in exchange. I am working on detoxifying but whatever is in this poison is not easily eliminated. | F | 48 | 5 days | 1/8/2010 | 5 | Bladder Infection | None | It helped so much- my infection was very severe. If I DID get any side effects, they were better than having pain and peeing blood. | F | 16 | 3 days | 1/7/2010 | 1 | sinus infection | stiff joints, severe knee, heel, elbow and lower back pain. | I was given Cipro for a sinus infection, I had surgery to remove a obstruction that had blocked my left sinus, they tried everything bractrim, serveral other antiboitics to clear up the severe infection I had. Last resort was Cipro,and unforturnately I had to have serveral doses of it three weeks at a time as the infection was reacurring. I have to say it did finely clear up the infection but I'm paying for it now, feel like I went from the frying pan into the fire sometimes. I think the damage to my body is done. I've been in pain for a very long time. Would not recomend taking Cipro to anyone. I've had severe pain in my left knee for over a year and a half, the orthopedic surgeon has givin me cortizone shots and it helps with the pain. | F | 51 | 6 months | 1/7/2010 | 1 | possible bacterial pleurisy | carpal tunnel feelings in both arms, knee pain, thigh muscle pain, tingling in feet, sweaty palms, anxiety, lack of appetite, slight nauseated feeling in head, stiff neck, low back pain, stiff shoulders, ringing in ears, high-pitched beeping sound in right ear, feeling of never getting better/never recovering | My doctor blew me off and told me to take Tylenol for the pain and said it will go away. Funny - I've been off of it for 4 days and have had NO releif. I am so afraid that I'll never get better. | F | 33 | 2.5 days | 1/7/2010 | 1 | Cipro is TOXIC | Crippled & unable to work all thanks to CIPRO. | Cipro is an absolute POISON and Bayer should be ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR POISONING PEOPLE FOR PROFIT. There are other ways of making money BAYER!!! | M | 34 | 666 days | 1/7/2010 |
