| 5 | UTI | None | I was surprised to see so many negative reactions listed on this page. I just thought I'd add that Cipro cleared up my symptoms within days and I experienced no side effects. | F | 31 | 10 days | 6/17/2008 | 1 | UTI | I took it the first time for bronchitis, it broke me out in a mild rash after the 4th pill, but I wasn't sure it was this medication that broke me out. I was also taking a cough surup i had never taken before. Then, the UTI showed up, so I tried it again and the rash began again, but much worse this time. I stopped taking it. | F | 44 | 5 times | 6/16/2008 | 1 | UTI | My second day on 500mg Cipro. I have very bad lower abdominal pain now, feel weak, like I been beat with a baseball bat. Usually very active & workout. I can barely get the stamina to run the vacuum. Took Keflex prior, no problems but did not cure UTI. So I am trying to put up with this torture. | Thinking about cutting pills in half for a lower dose | F | 36 | 2 days | 6/12/2008 | 3 | Infected cut | INSOMNIA | Took this med at 9:30 p.m. and couldn't fall asleep until 4:30 a.m. | M | 31 | 1 weeks | 6/8/2008 | 1 | uti | sweating, bad stomach pain, nausea. | I've taken cipro several times and had no problems with it-took a 250 mg last night(at around 10pm)woke in the middle of the night with stomach pain, woke up with it worse and now nauseous and sweating. i definatly recommend eating with it, even though it says not to. | F | 28 | 3 days | 6/7/2008 | 3 | Pouchitis/Inflammatory Bowel Diseas | yeast infections over growth of yeast not enough friendly bacteria, fatigue | F | 31 | 14 years | 6/5/2008 | 1 | For bronchitis & slight pneumonia | Three days after starting on the drug my speech started slurring, I developed twitching of my eyelid, my right side became very weak and I had trouble swallowing and walking. I was extremely exhausted. After the 10 day supply of cipro I was put on erethromycine and my speech cleared as did the twitching and other symptoms. Unfortunately after 3 days on erethro my stomach could't handle it so I was put on a 3rd antibiotic and all the symptoms came back and 2 months later Iwas diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gerhigs disease. I asked the neurologist if the cipro could have had anything to do with the ALS and he said it was just a coincidence. Then I came home and looked up Cipro Poisoning online and found out that many symptoms mimic ALS. Be very careful if you are prescribed any cipro's | F | 55 | 10 days | 5/31/2008 | 3 | UTI | anxiety, abdominal pain, diahrrea | I took cipro for 10 days (2 a day) for a UTI. I didn't know until I read these comments that the terrible anxiety I started having came from the cipro. I knew the stomach pain and diahrrea was a side effect, but thought it would go away after I finished the course of medicine - HOWEVER, I have been off the drug for 8 days and still have both the diahrrea, the stomach pain, and anxiety. I have been so nervous and panicky - thinking I must have a terrible disease or something and might be dying. It helps to know others have felt the same effects so that I feel a little bit relieved. I just want to get rid of these symptoms! Diahrrea and feelings of panic for 2 weeks is too long. I have IBS and this just brought it out big time. | F | 60 | 10 days | 5/29/2008 | 1 | UTI | Extreme nausea, liquid stools (not helped by Immodium) and severe gout in right foot.I thought symptoms were from Uristat I was taking for bladder discomfort. On the 8th dose of Cipro symptoms worsened and I felt really, really bad. After looking up side affects, I immediately stopped the Cipro. Today the doc has prescribed Macrobid as I still have UTI symptoms. Hope it works without all the sides. | F | 45 | 3 days | 5/27/2008 | 1 | Possible Diverticulitis | Lower back pain, joint pain, headache, blurred vision, hazy feeling, couldn't think straight, tendon pain, random shooting pains all over entire body. I know that only a small percentage of the population has a reaction to specific drugs, but I fell in this small percentage for the ciprofloxacin. I've never had a bad reaction to any other type of anitbiotic in my lifetime. Please research this antibiotic before taking. I wish I would have. | This antibiotic is absolute poison. Doctor thought I had a possible case of diverticulitis. Turned out to be gastritis/colitis due to heavy doses of motrin (800 mg 2-3 times per day). By day two of a prescribed fourteen day dose, I was experiencing a nagging headache and a very sore lower back. Along with those symptoms, I also just didn't "feel right." By day five, I began experiencing random, shooting pains over various parts of my body (arms, quads, calves). Consistent tendon pain, primarily in the achilles tendons, began on day five also. Tendon pain would come and go and alternate between the left achilles and the right achilles tendon. At day ten I stopped taking the medication. I have been off of the cipro since 5/3, and starting to feel better; aside from the tendon and joint pain in my achilles/ankles. Once I get up from a sitting position, my achilles/ankle is so stiff that it takes me a couple of minutes to come full stride without limping. The achilles/ | M | 34 | 10 days | 5/20/2008 | 3 | pseudomonas aeroginosa | slight dizziness at times, random pains all over my body, arthritis type symptoms in my knees. (Pain, limited ability to bend my knees, crunching sounds in my knees, and swelling) | I have been off the Cipro for a few weeks, but still experiencing bad knee problems. My doctor says I have osteoarthritis and doesn't think it's related to the Cipro, but I have never had ANY problems with my knees until I took Cipro and suddenly woke up one morning and could barely walk. I KNOW it's Cipro related. | F | 54 | 6 weeks | 5/10/2008 | 2 | Prostatitis | Joint pains. It makes you feel ill but that stops when you stop taking it. | I have never suffered from joint problems but after taking cypro I got pains in the shoulder knee and neck. Six months later the joint problems persist and my neck creaks when I move it. In spite of the side effects it seems to be an effective antibiotic. But I had to stop taking it and changed to doxycyclin which was as effective without the side effects. | M | 62 | 21 days | 5/8/2008 | 1 | External Ear Infection | Stomach cramping, diarrhea, muscle soreness and weakneass, rapid heartbeat | HORRIBLE DO NOT TAKE | F | 20 | 7 days | 5/8/2008 | 1 | prevent possible infection | tinnitus, insomnia, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, severe depression that has not stopped almost 2 years after taking Cipro. See deathbycipro.wordpress.com | M | 54 | 5 days | 5/8/2008 | 1 | diverticulitus | toes on each foot became numb and pins and needles sensitive to cold and sometimes burning. A couple of weeks later anxiety, nervousness and fatigue | It seems that doctors are still unaware about the side effects.Two months later my feet still bother me and my anxiety is a daily event.Not as many side effects as many but still quite bothersome. Let me hear of your recovery times. | M | 51 | 5 days | 5/5/2008 | 1 | reccurent UTI | I definitely agree that Cipro is a dangerous drug or at least one that induces horrible side effects. 2 days after taking this poisonous crap, I developed heart palpitations, felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest, it was beat at 130-150 beats per minute (the average heart rate is 60-100). So I thought I was going to die!! Then a few days later I developed muscle pain in both of my upper arms, to the point where I couldnt even lift up a cup!!! Just horrible! I really hate whoever has created this peice of shit drug, causing tremendous harm than good! | Does anyone have an idea whether you can develop latent effects after taking STUPID Cipro?? If so, what are the possible side effects even after stopping this drug? thanks | F | 26 | 10 days | 5/5/2008 | 5 | UTI | None | I was scared to take this medication because I consulted this website before hand. Not only did I have absolutely zero side effects but I felt completely normal and my UTI is gone. I was on 1,000 mg per day. I do realize that everyone has different experiences but sometimes anxiety can make us feel things that are all in our minds. I've suffered from a panic disorder for over two years and I am prone to anxiety. This drug did not make me feel anxious at all. If you let yourself believe you will have side effects, sometimes it will manifest but it's not real. I'm sure there are some people who may be allergic but there are billions of people in the world and only a few of them felt compelled to come on here and complain about this drug. Think about how many have taken it and didn't bother to come on here. I felt it was my duty to report that this drug is ok. | F | 31 | 3 days | 4/29/2008 | 1 | UTI | Confusion, delusions, panic + panic attack, tactile and auditory hallucinations, increasing visual hallucinations beginning at night, headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, loss of appetite and taste, tendinitis, sore eyes, stiff neck + back, muscle contractions + significant twitching, weakness | About 8 hours after the first (and last) dose, my side effects began to peak. I felt helpless, delusional, panicked-- like I had finally done myself in with this pill, and I was going to have to live with terrible consequences. I thought I was dying and looked for something to overdose on (the anxiety was unbearable and my pain grew, which led me to believe the muscle spasms would snap my achilles-- which I read could be weakened by Cipro), but luckily had nothing available to me. I fell into a fitful short sleep around 5am and didn't wake until the next afternoon. My tendons were still very sore, and my ankles were actually swollen. At one point I temporarily lost about half my hearing, and things got blurry. Headache, dizziness and an all-over strange feeling for about 24 hours after I took the pill. Felt exhausted but relieved I was alive, and foolish for having such delusional thoughts the night before. Simple solution: never take this. It's not worth it-- stick to generic, lo | F | 18 | 1 times | 4/28/2008 | 5 | Chest Congestion | This is the second time I have taken Cipro. The first time i did have dizziness once, but it went away quickly. This time there was no dizziness. There was a bit of nausea but that is to be expected with these kinds of drugs. | There are a lot of horror stories out there about this drug. However, it worked quickly and efficiently for me without drastic side effects. Amox couldn't touch this, but Cipro had me feeling better in two days. I would use it again. | F | 49 | 7 days | 4/27/2008 | 4 | bacterial pneumonia | stomach cramps, lower abdominal bloating | I'm still not sure if the bloating was actually a side effect or an allergy to the drug. I was very uncomfortable for about 72 hours with the bloating. After finishing the prescribed amount (twice a day for five days, 500mg) the bloating slowly subsided. It did help the pneumonia though. | F | 27 | 5 days | 4/24/2008 |
