| 5 | Bacterial infection of bowels | Pronounced tiredness within hours after a dose. | Took 500 mg twice a day for five days. Didn't notice anything other than feeling very tired as a side effect. But the main goal was to kill off the painful gut infection and it worked very well for that. Things are back to normal after only five days of treatment. | M | 36 | 5 days | 10/15/2008 | 1 | Sinus infection | Total flu like symptoms, achy, depressed, NOT SLEEPING> I thought I was losing my mind last night. Could not sleep for anything. Then after lying awake I started having panic attacks, feeling like something HORRIBLE was about to happen. Had in my mind my grandson was about to be involved in some horrible accident on way home from work at 4:00am. When I finally fell asleep at 5:00am only slept for maybe an hour. That hour was filled with terrible thoughts and nightmares. I never suspected an antibiotic could cause these problems. Suppose to take it for 4 more days, I don't think I can. Cannot have another night like last night. I have ruptured discs in my neck and back and was convinced my spinal cord was being pinched off from that and that was what was causing the symptoms. I know that sounds crazy, but I didn't know what to think. | Symptoms started immediately after starting Cipro.I'm so thankful I found this website. I would never have associated my symtoms with an antibiotic that was suppose to be making me feel better from my sinus infection. I feel better just knowing the reason for my symptoms and that I'm not losing my mind. THANK YOU!!! | F | 59 | 5 days | 10/15/2008 | 5 | UTI | Slight Insomnia,Headache,Grogginess,Heartburn | I thought Cipro did it's job very well. My UTI cleared up within days. I also now have clear toenails... and it cleared up my acne to a large degree. I am very happy. The side effects were mild except the heartburn... it was way too strong. I tasted the pills in my mouth all night, as well as acid and a chalky taste it was gross. | F | 25 | 3 days | 10/14/2008 | 1 | prostatitis | Terrible allergic reaction | I started taking Cipro for prostatitis. I developed an allergic reaction the day after taking the medicine. It got worse the next day. Two days after I quit taking cipro and the rash continues to get worse. Doctors should first prescribe doxycyclin, given all the side effects with this drug. | M | 33 | 3 days | 10/12/2008 | 5 | UTI | Diarrhea (Dr. said to expect that). My tendons were soft (move slowly). Slightly irritable (think happy thoughts) | I did have tendon "aching,” but not a problem. No workouts for 3 weeks after starting treatment. I was so scared to take Cipro after reading entries on this site (before completing treatment). I did not have any serous side effects from Cipro. I am now on my regular workout schedule with no side effects. | M | 47 | 7 days | 10/11/2008 | 3 | possible UTI / Kidney infection | Mild side effects - and not sure if it's because of the Cipro or my possible kidney infection | Mild side effects - strange burning sensation on the backs of my legs - extreme fatigue - not sure if it's because of the Cipro or my possible kidney infection - but I lived! I'm almost done with the week's worth (2 X's a day) Good lord - those horror stories here are SCARY! | F | 32 | 5 days | 10/11/2008 | 1 | Diarrhea | 2nd pill blurred vision, closed my eyes and felt like I was rocking in a chair. Extreme fatigue, Extreme short term memory loss. I have no energy to do anything, I am easily distracted and feel mind clogged. I took a total of 10 pills and stopped. It was prescribed for 10 days. I have been off of it for 3 days and still feel "STUPID". The doctor guessed that it would cure bacteria that was causing Diarrhea, did not cure. All tests for bacteria were negative. I had taken Cipro XR twice perviously and don't recall any side effects, but ciprofloaxin certainly has caused some! | I can't believe with all of us out there complaining and describing the side effects that it hasn't been taken off the shelf. I also can't believe some attorney hasn't filed a lawsuit on behalf of someone! Never take it again!!! | M | 37 | 5 days | 10/7/2008 | 1 | UTI | Within the first hours of taking the first pill, I experienced dizziness,fatigue,and nausea. The next day, I experienced extreme pains in my stomach and nausea with the first pill, the second pill at night made me feel as through my throat was tightening up. I'm currently on my third day of the medication and it seems to work very well, but horrible side effects. | F | 18 | 3 days | 10/1/2008 | 5 | Urinary tract infection | I really have not noticed any side affects. | F | 75 | 2 weeks | 9/23/2008 | 3 | bladder infection | painful body rash that itches (looks and feels like a sunburn, even though I have not been in the sun at all), facial rash | I have taken Cipro repeatedly several times in the past, always for a bladder infection. It always cured me in 3-5 days, NO SYMPTOMS...until this time. I took benadryl to try and calm down the rashes. They are all over my torso and on one cheek of my face. Very painful. | F | 32 | 3 days | 9/18/2008 | 1 | Sinus Infection | tremors in hands, mild hallucination, heavy chest, mania, difficulty breathing and swallowing, headace, dizziness, mild nausea, occasional lethargy, jolted with cafeine,(should avoid that according to the label) trouble concentrating, blurred vision, panic attacks. Symptoms began with first dose and increased to third dose, then stopped taking. | If you have bad symptoms, don't wait, request another antibiotic from your physician, if possible. This drug is half ciproflaxin (antibiotic) and dexamethasone (steroid) | F | 35 | 3 days | 9/18/2008 | 1 | for a sinus infection | aches and pains feeling really wierd. I have high blood pressure and it went down to 80 over 60 and even lower for several days. | I would never take it again for anything. I think it should br banned. | F | 66 | 1 days | 9/14/2008 | 4 | UTI | Muscle achiness, headache, general weakness in the body | This is only my first day of taking it for a 3 day treatment, but the second time I've tried Cipro. I found it odd that the first time I took Cipro (which was about a year ago), I had hardly any side effects. But this time I am getting these side effects. Still, my UTI symptoms are improving already. I no longer feel the constant urge to go or pain when I urinate. If it'll clear up this infection, I can endure the side effects for 2 more days. | F | 23 | 1 days | 9/13/2008 | 5 | stomach upset, urinary tract inf. | I was prescribed Cipro before a 3 month trip abroad as a medicine that could cure me even if I was stuck in the middle of the jungle or on a mountaintop. Yep. I had to take it 3 times in 3 months, which is not a good plan. Each time I got bad stomach illnesses, waited a week to see improvement, nothing happened, I took it. Same thing with a UTI I tried to cure home remedy style. It cured the above problems in 24 hours or less practically with the first pill. Cipro will eventually become a weaker drug as more bacteria becomes resistant. Try to avoid taking as much as I did (I may ask for a more common antibiotic for my next trip for regular, run of the mill infections) But right now, if you are really ill, Cipro is the drug to get those bad bugs out of you immediately. | F | 21 | 10 days | 9/12/2008 | 1 | Suspected Chlamydia | Racing heart, palpatations, tingling in head and arms and hands, light head, insomnia, pain in nerves of teeth, lots of anxiety, inside body vibrating | I just took it last week on advice from a Doctor of course - he gave me 30 days worth but i stopped after 4 because my heart was beating so loudly and so quickly I thought I was having a heart attack. I went to the ER and the doctor said it didn't sound like these were Cipro symptoms - most likely just stress. The racing heart has stopped but now I'm getting dizzy and a light head and numbness in my hands and arms. Sounds like I have been floxed, huh? Is there any chance these symptoms might clear soon? I have been off of the drug now for 6 days. | M | 38 | 4 days | 9/11/2008 | 2 | Prostatitis | Insomnia; tingling in feet, hands, and wrists; felt like needles in the neck; pain in the knees; muscle spasms; shaking hands and feet; stomach pain; diarrhea; general upset stomach; blurred vision; intestinal discomfort; back pain; gases; depression; thoughts of suicide. | I took Cipro, 2x500mg, for 20 days. I felt really bad and really depressed. I read most of these reports from other people and I felt even worse, it didn't help. I would like to tell anyone who is experiencing the same thing: YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT. I investigated a lot about Cipro Side Effects, the doctors do not know about the side effect and almost all of them don’t believe you. In some cases the side effects as insomnia and neuropathy could appear until 2 month after take Cipro and the Doctors do not link Cipro and with side effects. Don't overload yourself with appointments, medicines, and specialists the doctors won’t believe you. I found a very serious research about Cipro side effects on www.fluoroquinolones.org also I spoke to some friends that are doctors (some of them investigated on medical magazines and reviewed the latest papers related with Cipro Side effects) and believe me, your symptoms are most likely due to your side effects. It will take a very | M | 33 | 20 days | 9/9/2008 | 1 | diverticulitus | Took the entire dose, 10 days, 1000 mgs per day. Kept feeling worse, no strenght, blamed it on the heat. Tendonitis flared up really bad. After last dose became super ill and ended up in the ER and was admitted for the night. My body was one giant hive, hands so swollen they had turned blue and really painful, so were the bottom of my feet. Had really bad chills to the point of not being able to control my motor skills. Doctors thought it a bit strange that I didn't have this reaction prior to finishing the dose. Put me on Prednisone for a week. Feeling much better, just weak and can't handle any kind of heat. No problems breathing, no real throat swelling. | Have never had a reaction from any meds like this one. Had only taken it once before with no problems. | F | 56 | 10 days | 9/8/2008 | 1 | UTI | Red face, ringing ears, anxiety, depression, lack of energy, throbbing head and neck. | Side effects did not show up immediately. Eight months later symptoms remain. | M | 50 | 10 days | 9/8/2008 | 1 | uti infection | severe muscle spasms in my arms and legs, pain in my joints, numbness and tingling in feet and weakness in my legs. | I took 500 mg twice a day .for 4 days. The side effects started on the 3rd day while taking the cipro. Its been over a month and the symptoms don't seem to be improving. | F | 45 | 4 days | 9/5/2008 | 1 | Post-surgery | depression, anhedonia, blunting of emotions & affect, confusion, inability to concentrate, fatigue at some points, anxiety at others, nightmares. | For the first week or so, I did not notice any side effects, then I noticed extreme fatigue, malaise, anhedonia, depression, a lack of ability to feel any emotion to a great degree. A few days later, anxiety and nightmares. When I look up my side effects, they fully meet criteria for a major depressive episode with melancholic features. I've never had this before. | F | 36 | 14 days | 9/5/2008 |
