 5  Submandibular Gland Infection Slight increase in thirst. I have a hard time taking most antibiotics due to allergies. I was afraid to take Cipro because I am allergic to Levaquin. The only thing I noticed was increased thirst, but that may have been due to the salivary gland infection. I'm glad I tried it, it worked well. I see so many negative posts, I wanted to let people know the good too. F 54 7 days

 4  Kidney infection I had severe urinary complications. Doc gave me the meds, took it that afternoon and felt very nauseaus and had runny stool. The second day I still had runny stools, and bad anxiety and fatigue. THE EFFECTS OF THE UTI ARE JUST AS BAD, PERHAPS SOME OF YOU FELT THE NASTY EFFECTS OF YOUR INFECTION FROM THE GROSS BACTERIA. I dislike meds, but am quite grateful that my trips to the toilet every 30 seconds to pass a drop of urine in agony is over now. People have really exaggerated on this commentary. Sounds as if they took the leaflet and copied all the side effects. F 37 7 days

 1  Diverticulitis Two days in a row had visiul problems. Stomach pain is still nearly the same and I feel incapable of doing anything. Body is burning and the symptoms are so weird I can't describe them. I feel this medicine should be administered in hospital setting only in life or death situations. F 37 5 days

 1  UTI Extreme fatigue, insomnia, joint pain and weakness, difficulty walking, muscle spasms, difficulty concentrating and light sensitivity are my main symptoms, continuing 6 months after I stopped taking the drug. I will never take anything from this class of antibiotics ever again. It was my first time exposure and unfortunately I'm still experiencing side effects long after stopping the drug. I don't know if this will be permanent but it has definitely altered my life. I can't work, I can't do the activities I used to and I'm 36. I feel like I'm 90. I would avoid this drug unless it's the only drug that will save your life. F 36 7 days

 5   I have used this time and again with great results. 500 mg 2x a day for 3 days. 150 mg 2x a day for 10 days. No side effects, just quick clearing of the nasty symptoms of a UTI. Btw...I am not Big Pharma. I am a mom and work part time. Seems like so many are dissatisfied. I thought I would express my experience with it, since it was positive. F 43 3 days

 1  UTI 3rd day I missed a dose but felt pain in tendons behind my knees. I decided not to continue the meds, even though the issue I was taking it for had improved. All of my joints are popping now and tendons feel taught (like a stretched rubber band). Feet are constantly freezing. The comments online are horrifying. I took 4 500mg pills and was very physically active and healthy. I have a high profile job and am doing a lot of travel. I am only 39 but feel 99. It's been 8 days 2/16/16 and I worry that I may continue to deteriorate. M 39 2 days

 1  a cat bite! not even infected! Seizures, tongue swollen to point of almost blocking my airway, burning, swollen mouth and tongue ( for 16 months now), total body paralysis lasting 24 hrs then muscle weakness so severe I needed a walker and an assistant to move! confusion, slurred speech, walking into walls, not recognizing my family, terrible memory loss, suicidal depression, insomnia so severe i still go 4-5 nights at a time with NO sleep despite medication, Hallucinations, panic attacks, the entire mucosa of my mouth to my stomach is eroded, as if it was burned, I have constant epigastric pain so severe i took an overdose of xanax to try to fall asleep to get away from the pain. My family called an ambulance to take me to the ER where they IGNORED my complaints of epigastric pain and while eventually passed out from the xanax ,insisted on working me up for CHEST PAIN which I adamantly DENIED( having had that checked out thoroughly one week earlier,) It was my STOMACH!! It was excruciating! NO ONE EVEN offered me Bayer is personally responsible for destroying thousands of healthy lives because of nothing more than greed. SICK BASTARDS!!! F 67 1 days

 1  Diverticulitis I took 3 pills the first 2 I didn't feel much different except the pain from the diverticulitis had went away. Then I took the third pill and a few hours later I was locked in my room having a major panic episode that lasted for about 3-4 hours. I have anxiety and have never experienced anything like that. Then after that subsided and the next day came I started having this pain in my calve muscle then my upper arm muscle and shoulder. I have took this before and had a problem with my joints aching but just stopped taking and didn't think anything into it. I will never take this medication again and I hope it is soon taken off the shelves and only given for life death situations under hospital care. F 27 3 days

 1  UTI twice in 2 weeks This drug should be reserved for life threatening emergencies only. The sensitivities I experienced are too numerous to mention, all nerve pain related. Burning, electric like shocks all over and muscle twitching. Resolved (mostly) in 3,months. I was lucky, others have had much worse symptoms and for much longer. Ask for something milder. Cipro is a bad, bad drug. I have taken this before and did fine but I think I reached my tolerance threshold this time. I will never take any drugs in this family/class. Y F 57 10 days
