| 4 | UTI/Kidney infection | Mild insomnia, nausea if taken on an empty stomach. | I took Cipro for 10 days for a kidney infection, the only side effect has been mild insomnia. The back pain from my kidney infection was so bad that I could hardly walk and after taking Cipro for two days I felt almost completely better! It seems like it was worth it. | F | 26 | 10 days | 8/23/2009 | 2 | UTI | After 2 doses I experienced leg pain in both legs. Doctor thought it was due to my infection, told me to continue taking it. After 4 days infection was better and leg pain was worse. I can't walk without getting tired. My legs hurt all day and night now. | M | 44 | 4 days | 8/23/2009 | 1 | UTI | I had severe pain in my leg muscles. Also now my heels are very tender. Feet swollen. | I will never take this again! Only took 2 doses and it caused me these problems. Can't imagine if I had completed the cycle. | F | 35 | 2 days | 8/22/2009 | 1 | UTI | headaches, dizziness, tiredness, and horrible kidney pain | My UTI was not in my kidneys so this pain came directly from taking Cipro. It was horrendous. I didn't even find this website until I was researching online about kidney pain as a side effect of taking Cipro so being a hypochondo was not the issue. I never have side effects with any kind of medicine but I will never take this one again-and next time I will check this website before taking anything ever again-now that I know it exists. | F | 27 | 3 days | 8/22/2009 | 2 | bladder infection | sore joints | have been on cipro for three days, but previously been on Furantoin 50 mg. for 2 months before that for bladder infection, now stopped it to take cipro for 10 days than I have to go back on Furantoin. I keep getting bladder infections, nothing seems to totally take it away, I also have M.S., I personally think that's the real cause. | F | 56 | 3 days | 8/15/2009 | 1 | UTI | I experienced extreme tendonitis in my hands and arms. Slight tendonitis in my legs. Woke up the second day of taking this drug stiff and sore all over. Only took 4 doses. Its only been 2 days since stopping, but I can barely move my hands to type. I am a healthy, not overweight, active 37 year old. | M | 37 | 2 days | 8/15/2009 | 1 | respiratory infection | exhaustion, muscle aches, sadness | i"m angry this awful stuff was prescribed to me - first time I've ever used it, I wish I had just let the infection ride out, or had eurythmycin. | F | 44 | 7 days | 8/14/2009 | 1 | UTI/Kidney | Was constipated and sick after first round of antibiotics used to treat the UTI. Went to hospital and was perscribed Cipro 500 mg. Took one a day over 4 days and was hospitalized 4 times within that period with EXTREME HEADACHES... Like fluid was rushing through my head when i moved...a throbbing like I've never experienced. It caused me to not sleep and randomly MOAN in pain! Def'ly the worst experience of my life... I stopped taking the pill and am still feeling tendon pain and muscle pain (calves, hipflexers, NECK). severe tightness. I have less of a ringing in ear and more of a feeling that there's water rushing in and out of ear drum. Oh....and the latest...I can't pee at all. I have to, very much so, but It takes about 20 minutes to get a few drops out. Usually have to sit on toilet and push bladder with all my strength... DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL! | F | 29 | 4 days | 8/13/2009 | 1 | Possible prostate infection | After third day, my leg and arm musles felt tight and would ache when I walked. I had muscle cramps at night after five days, and my legs and arms felt like I had severe muscle strain. Was walking two miles a day and on the seventh day told my wife I did not think I would could make it back home after one mile, my legs were weak and almost shaking like severe fatigue. Had severe leg and arm cramps all night and almost could not walk the next morning due to the feeling of muscle strain and the shakes. Stopped the cipro and started feeling better the next day, and finally after 5 days lost the cramps, but after four months still feel muscle weakness and get the shakes after doing physical activity..My arm muscle has gone away and my arms look flabby now, and my legs sill have muscle tightness when I get up to walk, I also had terrible night dreams and could not sleep more that about an hour without waking up and rotating to stop my leg pains in bed....This product should be taken off the | M | 68 | 7 days | 8/6/2009 | 1 | UTI | Fever, severe headache, severe joint and muscle pain. | Symptoms started the evening before my last 2 doses. I could not sleep due to aching back. By the next AM, I walked like a 90 year old due to severe joint and muscle pain. I had a constant, severe headache that did not respond to medication. I also had a fever that reached as high as 102.5- misery. | F | 46 | 7 days | 8/4/2009 | 1 | On Oct. 23, 2008- I was in emerg. room with a severe sinus infection. Levaquin was prescribed intravanous for 14 days- as the very first drip entered my body- my legs felt very heavy with pain. I complained immediatly and thru-out each treatment- I advised to continued or would get a super bug. Finished treatment and now for the last 10 months I am so much in pain of all types. When I complain to Docs. they now say have spinal stenosis and nerve damage normal for my age-never had this before 10/23/08-- No one will commit to the fact that Levequin has caused this--but I have all the same side effects that I have read about- and I am very depressed, | Cipro=Levequin is a killer! Please email me if you have any treatments that have helped you-relieve any side effects Please email me if you have aquired an attorney who will take a case against Bayer, doctors and hospitals | F | 64 | 14 days | 8/3/2009 | 1 | UTI | After 3 doses, I went to the ER as a result of side effects. I thought I had a kidney stone, the pain was so severe. I have had kidney stones, so I know what that pain feels like. I assumed I was going through the motions with the CT scan, but there was nothing there! I was also pooping yellow slime, which made me think my liver was failing. Nope. Liver and kidney function tests were normal. I stopped taking the Cipro and 24 hours later, the kidney pain is gone and the yellow poop is gone. I do have some pain in my foot, still. I thank God I don't have lasting severe side effects like so many of you. | I will ask to have a note put in my file that I can't take this drug. | F | 49 | 1.5 days | 8/2/2009 | 1 | Apparent UTI | Body aches in hips, wrists, knees, shoulders. Fatigue. Headache. Lack of motivation. Depression. Over a year ago i started exp these sides after traveling abroad. I thought it was something i may have caught there, I have had blood tests a few times doctors find nothing and dont know what was wrong with me. Well a year later now i am starting to finally feel relief, i go to the hospital for extreme kidney pain. They prec. Cipro, say it is a UTI (i think it was a stone), anyways the aches are back full force! the pressure headache as well (it was so bad once last year i went to ER). I realize now that my ill health from the past year was from cipro i was prec. when i got back from my trip. | Poison. there are other antibiotics you should try first, this does so much damage. read up on some faqs with this class of drugs http://www.fqresearch.org/ . big pharma care nothing about your health, it is all $$ this should be pulled or at least used only as last resort not for a friggin uti | F | 2 days | 8/2/2009 | 3 | Bacterial Diarrhea | I took a 500mg dose of Cipro twice a day over four days for diarrhea. The first day or so was not so bad but I noticed tension and aches in my thighs and knees. The third day though I spent the day outdoors and developed a rash of little red spots, not bumps over my chest, forearms, a little on my face, and even on my feet. This didn't itch and it faded mostly by the next day, but that night I got a *severe headache, I couldn't sleep at all, had to pee every 60 minutes, and became dehydrated. I also had aches in my back, neck and legs. It was an awful night. To it's credit, my diarrhea seems to be finished, but the side-effects were numerous and very uncomfortable and diconcerting. I finished the dose today but still have the headache and muscle ache and dizziness. | Take this if you have time to rest and are somewhere comfortable, because you probably will be made very uncomfortable. I'm travelling and had little choice, but probably wouldn't take it again unless in an emergency. | M | 29 | 4 days | 7/31/2009 | 1 | bacterial lung infection | After taking 5 doses of this toxic substance I experienced a partial rupture of my right Achilles tenden. This happened while walking across a parking lot - no strenuous athletic activity involved. After being in a cast/boot and on crutches for 2 1/2 months, a cortizone injection, and physical therapy, I still have nagging and sometimes intense pain in my Achilles as well as the surrounding muscles/tendons. I'm in the process of getting a second orthopedist appointment to determine what to do next, as I have been unable to walk normally for about six months now. | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!!!!!! | F | 32 | 3 days | 7/30/2009 | 1 | Minor UTI | Insomnea,Headaches,tinnitus(ear-ring)hyperacusi(sound sensitivity)Torn rotator cuff(shoulder)Plantar Fascias(feet)eye issue,stomach issues....the list goes on & on with Cipro....WAS A HEALTHY 47 YEAR OLD , NOW A BROKEN DOWN CRIPPLED 49 YEAR OLD MAN - READ THE BLACK BOX WARNING FOR THIS DRUG !! | Its been 2 years since I took this poison and almost died , yet it keeps being sold and crippled people keep showing up here and all the Fluoroquinolone sites . THIS IS A LAST RESORT DRUG -YOU MAKE SURE YOUR REALLY SICK OR DYING !! | M | 49 | 10 days | 7/30/2009 | 1 | Prostitas | Two weeks ago I only took 1 500mg pill and a hour later I had pain in both achilles tendons. I stopped taking the drug. In the following days I experienced tendon pain in my neck, shoulders, knees, wrists, and heels. My achilles tendon on my right leg produced bruising. I applied ice massage to my sore joints for the next week. I also experienced some mild dry eyes. After two weeks I am feeling better but still deal with mild tendon soreness. I am athletic but will not run again for probaly 6 months with the fear of a tendon rupture. There is no way to get this crap out of your system. I feel bad for the severe cases of "floxed" victims out there. Most people do not believe you and say "its old age". I beg to differ. The drug companies don't care. | I would try natural remedies or a different antibiotic. | M | 46 | 1 days | 7/27/2009 | 1 | I posted several months ago and reported severe achilles tendon pain after only 2 doses. I still have achilles tendonitis 3 months from taking those 2 pills. Based on what I've read I have a great fear this will never go away. To the two posts below who had no problem with this drug, count yourself as lucky. (I hope you do not have an interest in the pharmaceutical industry.) I have to believe this drug has negative side effects for far more then the 1 in 400,000 claimed by Bayer. With the help of sites like this, word will spread and users will begin to know their inexplicable problems are the result of this drug. Had I not read the pharmacy warnings I never would have considered my heel problem was due to 2 pills I had taken that day and not some unknown physical action I had taken that day. The medical community needs to get off its high horse, wake up, and prescribe this drug only as a last resort. I miss being able to walk normally or run at all. | Do not take this drug. | M | 50 | 1 days | 7/25/2009 | 5 | Diverticulitis | Aside from being a bit tired, there were none. Not sure why all the others are making this out to be a bad drug; it is an excellent antibiotic. All drugs have side-effects - and this is no different. Once you stop taking it, they go away; no big deal. Take your meds like you should and you will be fine. | Excellent drug with minimal side effects. | M | 44 | 10 days | 7/22/2009 | 5 | Bladder Infection | None besides some nausea if I had an empty stomach before I took the pill. | I read about the side effects before taking this drug (nausea, joint pain, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, stomach upset, vomiting), but only experienced the nausea if I took it on an empty stomach. The nausea lasted about 15-20 minutes tops. I felt that it worked quickly too- I was feeling better by the second day.. | F | 20 | 5 days | 7/21/2009 |
