Thank you so much for posting this. I was given one 12 years ago for no good reason (a "possible" infection... turned out I didn't have one) and it turned from an athletic, fit individual to living in an electric wheelchair for years! I'm lucky that I've slowly and partially (not fully) recovered enough that I don't need a wheelchair anymore. It's criminal that these are handed out like candy.

[@elainer8288]

Thank you for your comment! How long did you spend in a wheelchair until you could walk again? Your comment has given me hope. I've been in a wheelchair for 2 years after been poisoned by statins. 😢 I was very active too.

Hi I live in Australia and three years ago was given 750 mg twice a day for 21 days. No warning in the box , nothing said by doctor or pharmacist ever. I was already on anxiety medication, valium and given metoclopramide to stop the severe vomiting within minutes of my first ciprofloxin pill. All meds provided by the same pharmacy that keep my records. I had delayed wound healing, became very weak and fatigued, loss of appetite, cracked lips, genitalia tissue started to bleed. Painful shins, burning feet, blurred vision while on the medication, however didnt know what was causing it at the time. 3 days after the course , floaters in both eyes and eye flashes. Diagnosed as PVD. Light sensitivity, visual snow, nightmares, extreme panic attacks, neck spasms 24/7 , twitching, body jolts, confusion, tinitus. Doctors deny any connection and dismiss it even though it’s in the warnings. They respond with oh they put everything in there to cover themselves, dosnt mean you’ll get it. I’ve tried everything i can think of to help heal myself, spent at leat $30,000 . Can no longer work and living off my savings. I don’t understand why not one but multiple doctors and specialist don’t know about the serious side effects of these drugs. My life was amazing before this. Now im just existing every day is a struggle.

Last year an ER doctor put me on a fourteen day prescription for Cipro but I quit taking it five days in after learning of the side effects. When I voiced my concerns to my GP, he basically said if you can take something that's safer and just as effective, why not do it? So he put me on Cefuroxime which worked just as well. Thankfully I never developed any serious issues from Cipro. Even so, I won't touch fluroquinolones again.

My legs do not work well and I can barely function. My life is ruined and I cry every day. I contacted a lawyer and they said that the statute of limitations was exceeded and nothing could be done.

All from 9 Cipro xl pills for a suspected UTI infection. My first adverse reaction was within 2 hours of the 1st pill...my eyes went criss cross with double vision, and another few hours of the 1st Cipro pill I couldn’t sleep ... slept 1-2 minute intervals for a total of 20 min. a night! I had no idea an antibiotic could do all this damage. I even developed Degenerative disc disease and within 4 months after stopping Cipro I lost 2 1/2” in my height and another 1/2” within another few months... I was dying by 7 months out - it’s a miracle I’m here today... but relapse occur for the rest of your life! I still didn’t list all my adverse damages either! I am damaged from head to toe and inside and out... but after 2+ years of excruciating non stop pain... I found something that helped me live 80% normal life for 2 years. Than I had a fall on black ice 2 years ago, and set off a FQ relapse, bit it’s nothing close to how bad I was first 2 years... Have you been FLOXED??? You need to know...so google it!!!

Mostly done with symptoms at 2 years. Even now with moderate exertion I get some joint / muscle pain and wonder if it's the cipro from 6 years ago or getting old (I'm 58 now). Hang in there!

Running and working out is way of life I cannot compromise that. Even very minor research I landed on the fda black box warning, and the lawsuits going on as od 2023. I immediately messaged the doc and said, let's try soemthing else because I already have tendon problems due to lifting and running for so many years.

I really don't understand why cipro is still being prescribed however. Another antibiotic to stay away from is bactrim, although not common there have been cases of people getting collapsed lungs from taking it and almost dying.

Just got back from another Dr who told me I was crazy needed mental help bc levaquin didn't do this to me..got my husband and mom at same time ..treated for h.Pylori..collagen helped me with tendons etc..I'm done with Drs.!!!

[@AdamJStoryDC]

Ask him to read the side effects on the PACKAGE of the antibiotic. It's like you heard this only from a DC on KZbin. It's not like I'm making this stuff up.

[@philipkeys3638]

Still giving Cipro out now like candy

[@AdamJStoryDC]

I had an ear infection from paddling in the ocean this past summer. They Pxed Cipro. I told them "no" and explained the reason (nicely). They looked at me like I'm an idiot. I just said, "you'll have to Px something else, because I'm simply not taking the risk...as an athlete, I can't risk tendon problems." So they simply Pxed something else.

I was prescribed Cipro about three years ago for UTI. I remember feeling ill after taking that poison and feeling really hot. The scary part is that I didn’t know about these horrible side effects until I completed the regiment. I had a popping every so often in the back of my ankle for a couple weeks and as it would happen I was scared out of my mind that my Achilles was about to completely fail. Thankfully that subsided and will never ever touch cipro or anything like it! I pray people who are truly suffering get well. What the pharmaceutical companies, fda and doctors are doing is nothing short of criminal..

[@kimlaw2425]

Been there done that had it in an iv levequin 750 mg every 4 hrs for a week, not my choice. I was out cold. now i have nerve, tendon, ligament, joint pain. and severe anexiety and the soldiers in the gulf war had these symptoms too my dr thought I had gulf war syndrome the soldiers he thought had fluoroquinolone poisoning. he was right to he caught that to .

Wait a minute! In September 2022 I was given Cipro to treat a UTI. In February my body began swelling and my joints began to swell, knees, elbows . I'm wondering if this had a part to play?

I'm not sure what to think and I'm confused. Help

I've just been prescribed cipro for an ongoing bout of diarrhea that's been present for over a week now. I've already taken 2 doses. should I stop

[@AdamJStoryDC]

ask the doctor that Pxed. it.

[@sollym7263]

Since this is an old post, For anyone looking for info here, you shouldn’t simply stop taking the prescribed antibiotic. If you have symptoms then speak to your prescriber immediately and see if they recommend changing the antibiotic. All medications have risk for side effects so make sure you are educated by your physician or nurse prior to accepting treatment so you are aware of what symptoms to look for. Also if you are receiving any antibiotic it is recommended to take probiotics as antibiotics don’t specifically target harmful bacteria, they also kill your normal flora or good bacteria. Speak with your doctor about a probiotic, some hospitals do this as a protocol and others don’t. If you are picking up a prescription of antibiotics you can ask the pharmacist there and they can recommend one for you too.

[@ryant6548]

@@AdamJStoryDC I find it very odd that many people who've suffered adverse reactions from Covid-19 were prescribed a Flouroquinolone. Then you have the many that had Covid and it was the basic cold back to normal for them . A few people I've spoken to told me they've known people that got crippled from Covid and I would ask them hmm that's odd as I don't hear of Covid crippling people. Especially at scale . So I would dig deeper and ask what they were experience. I was then told these people had pneumonia . So I asked how did they treat it. And they would say they were told there's no cure . They were just given Antibiotics and told to rest up . "Antibiotics" 🤔 Now I'm seeing where all the so called Covid crippling is coming from .

No antibiotics penetrate the prostate except flouroquinolones. what kind of a drug is this? I have read so many people in lakhs having been affected by this and it still continues to b in the market and prescribed. its surprising. i am currently undergoing IFT and ultrasound physiotherapy for tendinitis. if things don't improve, i ll try Regenexx stem cell therapy. if that doesn't work, Last option, jump down from the top of empire state bldg.
