I landed myself in the ER due to chronic diarrhea....was super dehydrated and passed out while getting bloodwork done to check for reasons for the diarrhea ( doc wanted me tested for food allergies etc). Dr at ER rx'd cipro, said they found a trace amount of bacteria inmy urine sample. I asked if cipro would mess up my stomach due to chronic D. Dr said,its prob bacterial too (no stool sample taken) and that cipro would clear it up. Wrong!!!! Not only did i get c diff....i am also dealing with other side affects from only 5 days dose!!!!! Blurred vision, weak legs, anxiety, panic attacks, crazy fatigue and weakness, lossof hair, unrefreshing sleep and it turned nto a dx of chronic fatigue syndrome. Prior to cipro i did have diarrhea issues, but still was ok. I was working, and socializing...just worried that i had the D for so long, but otherwise myself. Since Cipro...my life has been stolen. Im on disability....have severe fatige and bran fog. Google it.... Btw...31yr old healthy active female prior to this.

I took 2.5 days of this antibiotic and six months later, I am still dealing with a reaction to it. I am not a hypochondriac, in fact, I hate being sick. This has been a nightmare. I am improving, but the PTSD that I battling with has been severe. DO NOT TAKE CIPRO or any Fluoroquilone unless you are literally dying!!!!!

Pain in my feet I was a healthy 32 year old who did cross-fit regularly until I took Cipro. For months afterward I could barely walk. Most of my symptoms did not occur until 2 weeks after I stopped taking the Cipro. Adverse effects can happen at any time. DO NOT TAKE ANY FLUOROQUINOLONES - CIPRO, AVELOX, LEVAQUIN, FLOXIN, ETC. THEY CAN RUIN YOUR HEALTH!!

After 3rd dose, experienced severe nausea and vomiting, waking me at 2 a.m. I was switched to Bactrim (had 2 different bacteria) but cultures came back resistant to this, resumed Cipro but have to take Phenergan or Zofran prior to taking and still have severe heartburn, taking Zantac for that, helps some.
