I do not like taking Cipro, it really is hard on my stomach. In the last 5 years i have had Vertigo 3 times. All 3 times i had to gone to bed feeling fine, and woke up with my head spinning. All 3 times the Dr said I had a inner ear infection, but my ear never hurt. Its a very scarey feeling, i couldnt even walk. I was lucky mine only lasted a few days, sometimes it can last weeks.

No, I was on Cipro for a Urinary Tract Infection. I don't like any of the antibiotics but Cipro is the worst for me. When i had the Vertigo, the doctor gave me something for the dizzyness, i think it was called Antivert, it really helped, but does make you feel a little tired.
