 1  Uti Muscle pain, tremors, muscle spasms and twitches, muscle jerks, vision problems, floaters, dry eyes, blurriness, headaches, feeling like ants are biting me all over, insomnia, Heart palpitations and a racing heart, severe anxiety and panic attacks. This medicine is poison. Please, do not take it. I took this medicine several times over the course of a few months for uti infections. My health started to decline and I didn't know what was wrong. Made a neurologist appointment, a appointment with a heart Doctor, an ER visit and several appointments to my primary care doctor trying to figure out what was wrong, all the while worried I was suffering from a neurological disease. Had a MRI done and the doctor said everything was fine. Heart Doctor said my heart was fine. Never thought at all it was the medicine. You see, cipro attacks your mitochondria. Destroying your nervous systems and your muscles and the effects do not go away after taking it which is why I never suspected the medicine. I could go on all day about this poison. If somebody takes up for this crap, clearly they must be making money from it. Numbers don't lie so please do research, these "side effects" are not uncommon like they want you to believe. This medicine should only be used in life or death situations, not handed out like candy. Please beware of cipro. F 27 6 times

 1  UTI On 2nd dose felt some neuropathy in lower legs but was busy so shook it off. Thought it was from another reason. 3rd dose 1/2 hr after taking while driving felt a wave of terror come over me. Had to make it through a traffic light while asking my kids in the back seat to pray for me. Thank The Lord I was picking up an older daughter who could drive. Thought it was just a wierd occurrence but decided to goggle and found this was not unusual to have this reaction. Thought I could use mind over matter, proceeded to go on a 6 lane rd only to have it strike again. I lumped out of the car and told my daughter to drive. I huddled in the passenger seat, younger daughter called an ambulance which my daughter cancelled bc there was an urgent care center around the corner. I had these episodes about every 15-20min apart. They hooked me up on a heart monitor and while lying down watched my heart rate spike to over 150. They wanted to give me Xanax or some other drug and I refused. That was all I needed, to have another drug reacting to this one. This was terrifying, humiliating and potentially deadly. I was headed to go out on the highway. What if this happened there? What if I didn't have the ER there? When I was released, noticed as I would try to rest, the drop off where your body goes to relax into sleep was a trigger to a less intense attack. So the drug cos win all around, antibiotic, anti anxiety meds and now sleep meds. I'm not taking anything. This junk was distributed by Dr. Re Save your sanity, take amoxicillin, Augmentin etc. and drink lots of 100%Juice Cranberry at first sigh of UTI then u won't need meds! I ran out and didn't catch it in time... F 49 2 days

 1  UTI After 3 days on Cipro, I was unable to get out of bed, could not lift a coffee cup and had severe pain in my legs. Left achilles tendon hurt so much, I was unable to stand for more than 30 seconds at a time. Pain all over my body, swollen legs, horrible anxiety attacks (nothing bothered me previously) and had to take early retirement as I missed so much work. It's been almost two years and I'm still having problems. Cipro is flat out poison and destroys active lives. I aged 10 years in one year. Doctors prescribed prednisone that made things worse along with heavy pain killers that almost turned me into an addict. F 64 3 days

 1  possible digestive infection Lower back pain, shortness of breath, foggy feeling, extreme anxiety, felt like coming out of my skin. Literally had thoughts of suicide. Waves of despair and paranoia. Horrible metallic taste in mouth. Insomnia. Haven't slept much in 4 days. Tingling hands. Now hands are asleep while sleeping indicating peripheral neuropathy Just Google Flagyl and Cipro lawsuits. There are firms dedicated to nothing but filing suit for people whose lives have been destroyed because of these drugs. I only took 7 pills of this poison and 7 pills of Flagyl before stopping. I believe both drugs in concert have caused the severe side affects to double. No way of knowing which one is worse. I've read that both are equally as horrible on their own. Side affects are still present after 3 days of being off. It is bar none the worst most insidious chemical I have ever put into my body. The people who developed it, sell it and approved it belong in prison. How the FDA allowed this nightmare drug on the market is beyond belief. I thought they were supposed to protect us. M 59 7 times

 1  Doctor said urinary infection Thought it was normal,then after 6 hours,had the worst gastric attack ever. Very painful upper stomach pains. Can even taste the metallic taste of that med after 2 days. Headaches,very very bad nausea. DO NOT TAKE THESE MEDS. Ask for other kinds. Would rather load up on sodium naproxen then take just one of these. These meds are murderous! F 39 1 days

 1  Staph Infection When I took this I was a healthy, normal 21 year old. Took this for a staph infection in my bladder. Took it and had to be hospitalized for three days. Peripheral neuropathy has stuck around 8 years later. Also had to deal with additional side effects like tinnitus (constant ringing in ears) and different health issues. If you have to take this medicine, please make sure you go over the potential side effects with your physician/pharmacist. Very important to talk about what peripheral neuropathy symptoms are before they get worse with this medicine. Physicians/pharmacists might blow you off but all I have to say is, web search neuropathy and cipro. It happens more than people think and I'm living proof. F 29 2 days

 1  was given in IV pre-op burning while being given through IV and body wide issues after causing nerve damage,tendon pain and tears,muscle pain and wasting,nearly every reaction listed to this drug I am still suffering with over 3 years later.this drug should only be used as last resort not first choice cipro and all other fluoroquinolones are a last option antibiotic,not for just incase or for minor infections as they are so often used.there are black box warnings and new changes to labeling.learn what fluoroquinolone toxicity syndrome is before becoming the next victim,know that these adverse reactions are far from rare and can happen to any one,many times causing permenant issues and death.once they reach your threashold,whether first dose or multiple times there is no turning back once they get ahold of you and no treatment to reverse the issues they cause.

 4  Complicated UTI Increased anxiety, feeling of weakness, unable to concentrate and very tired but it did help after cefuroxime 500 mg BID for a week before this didn't. I had a urethral abscess which I drained but developed a bad infection which spread out to the bladder. Imagine your nether parts swollen, your bladder full yet unable to urinate! It's the worst situation ever! I was on cefuroxime 500 mg/BID which I knew didn't work. What's wrong with Dr.s nowadays, I had to insist on a different ATB and thank God Cipro did the job! By day 2 I was able to pee again and the pain subsided a great deal... F 40 7 days
