| 4 | uti | A headache that has not gone away. i wondered if it was the uti but it seems to be a common side effect. Muscle weakness; but again that can be attributed to the infection. Overall, i'm feeling a heck of a lot better than i was 1 week ago. | Apparently have had a uti for about a month. Annueal exam first showed and i was give Macrobid. took that and figured all was fine. No symtpoms other than extreme fatigue. went back to doc, had a really bad uti. cipro has helped. | F | 5 days | 4/21/2008 | 1 | Travelers Diarrhea | After treating travlers diarrhea with otc Immodium AD, I went to the doctor and they prescribed Cipro. 2-3 hours after 1st dose, I had a migraine headache, nausea, muscles aches and dry mouth. I took some tylenol and that seemed to work, so 12 hours later I took my 2nd dose of 500mg (10 pm). 3 hours later at 1 am, I awoke with severe migrane, muscle cramps, chills, nausea, dry mouth and anxiety. It was impossible to get comfortable. Sitting, laying, or walking provided temporary relief so I had to rotate throught different positions every few minutes. At 2 am I started voimitting and that lasted for about 1 hour. At 3 am I was able to swallow an excedrine migrane pill and keep it down. I laid on the floor and rotated through different positions to deal with cramps and mucsle pains. Things started to get better by 3:30am. I got up at 8am with the start of similar symptons and took 2 more excedrine migraine pills again. By 9:30 am I was feeling okay. Last bowel movement was mor | This was a horrible experience. None of these symptons were present prior to taking this drug. I plan to discontinue the drug immediately. Something is wrong with this drug | M | 47 | 1 days | 4/20/2008 | 1 | UTI | SEVERE Allergic Reaction!!! restlessness, dizziness, lightheadedness, insomnia, nightmares, hallucinations, manic reaction, irritability, tremor, ataxia, lethargy, joint stiffness, hiccough, photosensitivity/ phototoxicity reaction, flushing, fever, chills, angioedema, edema of the face, neck, lips, conjunctivae & hands, blurred vision, disturbed vision (change in color perception, overbrightness of lights), decreased visual acuity, diplopia, eye pain, tinnitus, hearing loss, bad taste.... it just goes on and on... | Taking Cipro was the worst experience of my life. I have had issues with UTI's and my new doctor thought it would be a good idea to try out Cipro during an especially bad UTI. She failed to warn me of any symptoms or adverse reactions, simply said it was "the best", I never went to her again. After the first day, a fever devloped and it felt like my body was shutting down. Nearly all of the side effects I listed were present by the morning of the second day. I had to go to the emergency room that afternoon to find out it was a severe allergic reaction. I immediately stopped taking Cipro and was put on a milder antibiotic to treat the UTI. The symptoms/side effects lasted for 2 weeks after I stopped taking Cipro. I had to walk with a walker/cane for the first week after I stopped medication as I was not able to control my leg muscles efficently and would fall down when I tried to walk unassisted. I developed a bad rash in every pit/cravas (armpits, buttock, behind knees, ne | F | 25 | 2 days | 4/20/2008 | 1 | Staph Infection in Bladder/UTI | Peripheral Neuropathy, Tinnitus, Blurred vision, sensitivity to medicines. | Cipro has put my life on hold for 2 months straight now. I've been in the hospital or a clinic at least once a week during this time span. Took Cipro for astaph infection in my bladder. Felt great until the last dose. Intense tingling went up from feet to thighs. Constant high ringing in my ears. Slight blurred vision that went away 3 days later. As of today, I have sensitivity to simple medicine like acid reflux pills. The tinnitus is the same. The neuropathy is mainly located in my toes and feet. They burn and tingle occasionally, not all the time like before. I cannot stress enough do your research before taking a medicine about side effects and pros/cons to taking them. This has opened my eyes but at the same time, I needed to take Cipro so the staph couldn't spread. | F | 21 | 5 days | 4/19/2008 | 1 | slight case of diverticulitis | lightheaded and dizzy, nausea, snapping of tendons. still have them after five days off medication. | How could my doctor give this to me? Not only did the medication did the above, but also aggrevated my back and neck as well. I was in a car accident about a year and a half ago and went thru physical therapy. My neck and back were OK for about a year until I started taking cipro. I hope these symptoms are temporary. I can not afford to be a cripple. Almost everytime I walk or move my fingers, I hear something snap. It's bad enough that I am going thru perimenopause (hot flashes, migraines, etc.). The medical profession should be shot, tarred and feathered!!!!!! I am in the process to find a website regarding detoxing my body from this poison. Had I known that there were lawsuits against Bayer, I would never had taken this poison. | F | 51 | 10 days | 4/17/2008 | 1 | Diverticulitis | While taking Cipro I experienced Tingling, Numbness, Muscle Tremors, Extreme Anxiety, Pulsations in all limbs, Sore joints, very sore tendons, insomnia. | I took this drug 12 months ago and still have several symptoms today. Several blood tests and exams in the past year, no findings. I have found my diet affects the symptoms, some dairy, chicken, steak, even tuna can induce symptoms lasting from days to weeks. I have started taking Omega supplment and B12 daily which have greatly reduced the severity and frequency of symptoms. I have also become hyper sensitive of all antibiotics and toxinz and have mild side effects as since Cipro. | M | 32 | 10 days | 4/16/2008 | 5 | UTI | The first few doses I would feel a little sleepy immediately after taking it. This subsided within a half hour and did not continue after the second day. | I read nothing but horror stories about this medication and was scared to death to take it. I had no problems with it whatsoever and it wiped out my UTI within two days. Septra before that couldn't cure the UTI. | F | 34 | 7 days | 4/13/2008 | 1 | bladder infection | Confusion, memory loss. Later a pulled muscle. Triggered anxiety. | TAKE OFF MARKET ! | F | 42 | 5 days | 4/12/2008 | 1 | Suspected Epididymitis | Tendonitis. I'm 31, healthy male. I was on 2 x 500mg tablets per day. On the evening of day 3 I felt a little creak in my right wrist. On day 4 I picked up a dropped business card and had sharp tendon-related pain in my right wrist. Dull, warm pain continued for 2 days. On day 5 dull pain in left achilles heel. Did research and stopped taking Cipro immediately. Day 7 and pains are almost gone. Fingers crossed! | M | 31 | 5 days | 4/3/2008 | 1 | Sinus problems | Severe dry mouth, lack of appetite (didn't eat for 3 days), stomach ache, diarhea, depression. I only took this for 3 days and it was hideous. | This medication made me extremely depressed and moody. I've never had depression in my life. I missed 7 days of work just from the side effects not the actual illness being treated. NO GOOD | M | 38 | 3 days | 4/2/2008 | 2 | mesenteric adenitis | dizzines, joint pain, upper right abdominal pain under ribs, back pain under ribs, also right side. | This is the longest Ive had to be on it and the first time I experienced side effects. I had this infection 3 years ago and they gave me Levaquin, which was awful, and Ive had 2 uti's in between, just on it for 3 days , but this time 10. Even though it works, I will not take this ever again. Just like 3 years ago, I will take myself off this and get on probiotics and call a holistic dr. | F | 28 | 10 days | 3/31/2008 | 1 | Skin infection | Its been 2 1\2 months since i took my last pill. I cant sleep, I have spasms, pins and needles,joints feel like they are being destroyed, very weak at times, cant concentrate, and a over all feeling like my life has turned for the worse. | I want this to end. | M | 37 | 7 days | 3/30/2008 | 1 | sinus infection | dizziness and vomiting | I took 2 doses of cipro and became so dizzy i could barely get out of bed. i spent the day vomiting. its been two day and i'm still dizzy and have an upset stomach. Back in november i took levaquin for 7 days 500mg and have joint pain in my knees. I have never had knee issues before taking this family of antibiotics. I would not recommend it to anyone. Its too risky. | F | 35 | 2 days | 3/29/2008 | 4 | Lung Infection | I've taken Cipro several times before with regular "normal" antibiotic side-effects. I'm currently on a 750mg tablet, twice a day for 21 days (A heavy dose, but needed as I have CF). I've been experiencing more side-effects this time around for some reason. I'm getting heart palpitations whenever I sit, or lay down... which, in turn, is making me anxious and nervous I'm going to have a heart attack. Somewhat despondant feelings (though I tend to have that type of personality anyway). VERY irritable. I'm pretty skeptical about alot of these reviews... I mean, permanent side effects 15 years later from 3 pills? Give me a break. | M | 25 | 21 days | 3/27/2008 | 5 | unspecified urinary/kidney infectio | Not any at all!! apart from being scared and hypochondriac after reading this webside!!!! Its loads of rubish writen here. I even did bite the pills,as I never swallow any pills and it was ok... Had a one bad/scary dream,but also had a fever at the same time, so belive it was due to the fever, not the pills/. I was given these pills by private doctor and then read this horible stories so got sooo scared, that almost stopped taking it. But then I phoned my family Dr( she is a friend of my mum since school) and she said that she would give me the same pills and since she knows me since i was a kid I trust her. | Its ok, would recommended. Helped me. I took 14 tablets/500mg twice a day. Didnt take any milk, zinek, vitamins,iron,alcohol with it as Its not recommended anyway. | F | 34 | 7 days | 3/23/2008 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Tingling, facial numbness, little bumps on hard and soft palate of mouth, malaise, feeling of 'not being there', pain in left heel ( heel, aching), feeling of 'looseness' in left knee. | First dose, I had just had the tingles, the numbness, the bumps and the malaise. Didn't want to take second dose but it was too late to get in touch with a doctor. Second dose brought on the rest. Called doctor in morning because I refused to take a third dose. Am now on Augmentin for a 14 day run rather than the 3 days Cipro would have needed. | F | 23 | 1 days | 3/22/2008 | 1 | Chest congestion | pain in legs, back, neck, tendonitis. cramping in my feet and arms. | Do not take this drug, it has been 5 months now, and I have not recovered. The doctors treat you like you're nuts. This drug has ruined my life and I am afraid I will never recover. There should be a class action lawsuit against this company. No one should be allowed to dispense drugs that have the power to destroy your life. This drug will cripple you do not take it | F | 53 | 2 weeks | 3/14/2008 | 1 | vaginal bacterial infection | 250mg twice a day for 3 days. large amounts of loose stool. anxiety, depression, inability to function. plan on staying bed the entire duration of medication. | The side effects are horrible. I was afraid to eat because i'd crap 3-5 times a day. I couldnt go to class, or do any type of work. no focus. afraid to drive. also, it made me paranoid and anxious. emotional, hopeless feeling. i took it for 3 days, and side effects lasted a few days after completion of medication. I would not recommend this drug unless there was no other option. | F | 27 | 3 days | 3/14/2008 | 1 | UTI | terrible stomach pain, profuse sweating, nervousness and anxiety, head felt like it was going to explode | This medicine may very well ruin my life. I was a happy active person before taking this at 500 mg twice a day for 7 days. After being off the med now for 11 days, I still feel horrible and the symptoms just keep happening. I went to the ER today and they say there is no reason for my symptoms. Well I know the cause, and it is this awful medication. I would rather die then ever take this again. | F | 54 | 7 days | 3/13/2008 | 1 | UTI | I am 45 yrs old. NEver taken Cipro. Within HOurs of taking the first one I had severe shakes, fever and joint and muscle pain totally unbearable. Severe headache with fever of 102 that stayed for 6 days. I went to the E.R. and two different doctors who "won't endorse" the idea that Cipro did it. There is something drastically wrong with this drug. My neck swelled up and my chest. I could not breath, swallow, lift my head up or touch my chest. Coudln't turn my head and all my limp nodes/glands are all swallen twice the size of pecans and now I have ulcerated soars all over my gums, tonque and mouth from the high fever while I kept seeking medical attentin. Today is day 7. I fought cancer 5 years ago, I am an active female farmer and I cannot believe how ill I am. DEpressed only for the mere fact that the medical profession will not even look into it. I did not have any of this until that first dose. I took myself off of them and within 12 hours the swelling was going down som | F | 45 | 6 days | 3/12/2008 |
