| 1 | Bladder infection | I only took it 2 days and had horrible side effects. I was dizzy, numb face and mouth. My heart was racing and I felt like I had a bad flu. My ribs had a burning feeling and my whole body ached. It has been 9 months since I have taken it and I am still not back to how I was before the medicine. I still have back pain and just don't feel 100%. Have had all kinds of tests run and cannot find anything wrong. It has to be the cipro. | F | 40 | 2 days | 7/20/2009 | 1 | diverticulitis | Thought I was going to die, or have a stroke! Pain, tingling and numbness on left side from my fingertips up my shoulder to my back! Head felt like someone hit me with a 2 by 4. Not just a regular headache!!Felt like it was going to EXPLODE! Had no energy.Made me sick to my stomach!nausea, felt like throwing up. The worst I have ever felt!I usually do a 5 or 6 mile run a day. I was lucky I could walk! | ask your doctor for an alternative! | F | 47 | 4 days | 7/20/2009 | 1 | throat infection | DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. I had no idea a drug could take over an entire body and cause so much pain. I only took half of my prescription too. One dose of 500mg a day is all it took. On the second day, I woke up and I felt like I had been hit by a bus. All of my joints and muscles were in so much pain, that I could barely get up. I felt like I was 80 years old and had arthritis all over my body. I could barely turn my head in one direction, because my neck and shoulder tendons were so sore and shooting pains were going down my spine. My jaw was in pain, my wrists and ankles. My hips were extremely sore and with every step, I felt like I was going to fall over. I could have used a walker! At age 26! My sore throat went away for those two days, but returned a day or so after I stopped taking Cipro. It is now three days since I have taken Cipro and I still have pain all over. My pain has subsided a little, but I am still in bad shape. I am extremely worried, after reading all of these review | F | 26 | 2 days | 7/17/2009 | 3 | preventative: after surgery | Neck pain, behind the knee pain, yeast infection | I went in knowing about the side effects. At first, wasn't sure what was going on due to the surgery. Now taking Diflucan for Yeast infection. Most importantly, I am taking Reliv: Now, Innergize and Fibrestore. These are powders and are completely absorbed, you just mix it with cold water. Highly digestible nutrients to flush your system. I can get some for you, feel free to email me. [email protected]. check the web site: www.reliv.com, click on product and testimonials. This works, it really does. So far, I think that if Cipro is taken when someone's immune system is compromised due to STD or UTI, then the side effects could be much worse. I have heard that Vancomycin is better, but I don't know how readily available it is, plus if one built up a resistence to vancomycin, they would really be in trouble. Also, I have been eating a hearty meal with each dose, avoiding calcium. Let me know if I can help anyone. This is a great site. | F | 50 | 5 days | 7/16/2009 | 2 | UTI | I was prescribed Cipro 500mg for 7 days to treat a UTI. First day 2 hours after taking first pill I had severe diarrhea. Within 24 hours I had muscle aches and some dizziness. After 2-3 days I became very tired and sick to my stomach. 3rd day I have experienced pain behind my left knee that is worse at night. And now, after 5th day I am experiencing severe pain behind left knee, muscle and joint pain in entire body, ringing in left ear, hands and feet tingling at night, and nothing tastes right. I'm not even sure my UTI has cleared up 100%. And to top it ALL off, my insurance would only pay for 6 pills, not 7 because it wasn't "pre-approved"!!! How do you "pre-approve" an infection????? Sooo, the 7th pill cost me almost as much as it did for the first 6. Never again!!!!! Signed "Depressed and sick in Maryland on the eve of my 49th birthday". | never again | F | 49 | 7 days | 7/14/2009 | 1 | UTI | I have numbing in my right arm loss of use of it as well. i took 2 doses ....called the doc he stopped it right away. I had never had anything like this before. I am a normal 36 female this drug scared the crap out of me I was think stroke. | Dont take this drug after ready the FDA warnings its true the benefits dont come close to the risks I have now for a week had to deal with using my left hand not my right just want to be back yo normal now!!!!!!!!! | F | 36 | 1 days | 7/13/2009 | 1 | UTI | Severe eye pain, headaches, nausea, fatigue, serious insomnia, depression, lack of motivation, blurred vision, spacy feeling, constipation, weird feeling of sickness in my body. After 3 days, I quit the medication. When I first started the medicine (500 mg 2 xs a day for 10 days), it was a Thursday afternoon. I did not fall asleep again until Saturday afternoon. I could not figure out what was happening to me until I googled side effects of taking Cipro. This medicine will really mess up your body. DO NOT TAKE IT. I have decided to use a home remedy for my UTI by taking apple cider vinegar with honey twice a day, fresh ginger tea, plenty of water, and hot water and lemon every day. I have healed myself of many minor illnesses at home by focusing on my healing and eating natural things. CIPRO is a killer and is very toxic. | This is the WORST medication I have ever taken. It makes you feel SICK and much worse than you did before taking the medicine. It is a feeling that you have been poisioned or drugged. I am very disappointed that doctors would prescribe this medication to patients. If they knew what people felt like after taking this DRUG, they would be ashamed. Cipro should be taken off the market. I | F | 38 | 3 days | 7/12/2009 | 3 | Kidney Infection | none-I think all these really negative comments are placed on here from opposing drug companies. They just dont sound reall and all are repetative. | F | 33 | 7 days | 7/11/2009 | 5 | UTI | I was on 500mg, twice a day, and had no side effects at all. I would not even have known I was on Cipro except for the fact that it cured my UTI. | F | 37 | 7 days | 7/10/2009 | 1 | bladder infection | I felt like I had been hit by a truck. I had NO energy, could barely walk to the mailbox without being exhausted and out of it. | F | 50 | 7 days | 7/9/2009 | 2 | Epididymitis/UTI | In order of appearance: Gastrointestinal Distress, Back pains, numbness/tingling in hands and feet, slight joint pain, hearing abnormalities (static/fuzzy noise), visual abnormalities, odd reddishness that shows up after hot shower, mild leg/foot pain | I took Ciprofloxacin on June 3rd and while it did cure my infection, it experienced some of the adverse effects, though I was able to stop 5 days into treatment after learning of its effects. Usually a new symptom would show up 1-2 days after another went away. Most all the symptoms have disappeared, with the only remaining ones being a small amount of the visual disturbances, foot/leg pain which seems to be fading, and the odd red splotches that appear after taking a shower. I wouldn't recommend taking this drug unless you have a life-or-death infection. | M | 19 | 5 days | 7/7/2009 | 1 | UTI / Kindney Infection | Numb, tingly, sore muscles, Uncontrollable shaking at night, Paranoia of dying, sever anxiety | Not for everyone. I have been off this medicine for a week already and the side effects haven't gone away. I fear that this is permanent damage done to my body and I'm only 19 !! I'm going to go to the doctor next week and get checked up. But until then I continue to feel like I have completely messed up my body from taking this medicine. | F | 19 | 1 days | 7/7/2009 | 1 | UTI | Swelling, severe pain, red eyes, flu-like symptoms, rashes on face and neck | F | 26 | 10 days | 7/3/2009 | 1 | Epididymitus, UTI | I took ciprofloxacin for 14 days twice a day as a result of an UTI after having an STD and this medication has completely ruined my life. I only found this website as a result of looking for help because this ciprofloxacin medication made me think I was dying.I have had horrible diarrhea, my wrist and muscles still twitch, extreme exhaustion, horrible lower back pain, really bad chest pain and my ankles feel weird.In addition, I almost failed a semester in college because I could not focus and have never been suicidal. I use to wander how some could be suicidal but this medicine caused me to have suicidal thoughts. It was only God that brought me through it. It has now been 2 months and the aches come and go but now I have the sudden onset of horrible chest pain at times. I really am tired of feeling this way and this site provides comfort to me as I know that this not just my body responding this way but there are others. Hypochondria, definitely not!!! Anyone who says that we are hav | Please do only take this medication as a last resort. It WILL change your life and maybe its God's little way of reminding usto not be so promiscuous yet saving us from infection. Please pray for me and all others as I pray that these symptoms do leave one day. | M | 22 | 14 days | 7/2/2009 | 4 | UTI | Fatigue, joint pain (especially in the hips),sore throat after first taking, dry mouth, soft stool, NIGHTMARES! | I had a pancreas transplant in September 2002, and now have recurring urinary tract infections.

AFTER ONE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was then given septra. which i thought would be better, but i read it's pretty much almost the same thing? and i heard that's no good either and has tons of side effects as well! i'm really scared! i'm nursing my achilles tendon. I CAN BARELY BEND MY ANKLE! AFTER ONE DAY!! (i'm only 24) | F | 24 | 1 days | 6/22/2009 | 5 | UTI infection | The first night after taking the CIPRO I had flu type of symptoms.
