"2nd pill of 500 mg, bad side effects - I am Canadian - tingling in thumb - lips numb - eyes stinging - brain fog - neck, throat area weird feeling - like to touch it feels like you're not touching it with your hand - this drug is obviously poison - a definite neurotoxin and should not be available for anyone's consumption!!!!"

"Ciprofloxacin gave me the worst nightmares imaginable. I had to quit after the 2nd night. Also, 4 months later, I have trigger finger, where I can barely move my right index finger, and will likely require surgery on it. I woke up unable to move my finger, and it only gets worse every day. It is hugely painful to 'unlock it' and only works for about 2 hours before having to carry out the procedure again. I don't believe many younger doctors like prescribing this anymore. Baclofen is a much safer choice and should certainly be tried first. I have bad reactions to baclofen as well. Like really bad. But at least they go away after a week being off it!"

"I have had partial urinary incontinence for years - maybe 10. I had incontinence so severely last week that I urinated on myself twice. Today, a week after a 3-day treatment with ciprofloxacin, I have complete control of my urinary sphincter. My underwear is dry for the first time in years, and I have no odor! I have no idea how this might have worked, but I am thrilled!"

"Cipro worked great for my urinary tract infection, after 3 days of taking it, I was back to normal. I would definitely ask your doctor for it if you have a UTI."

"Cipro is great! I feel relief after an hour of taking it, but I also take cranberry pills on the first couple doses to help with flushing. Pain is minimal after the first dose, along with frequency."

Ciprofloxacin "It works every time, however, it takes about 3-4 hours to provide relief. The only reason why I don't give it a 10 is because it gives me yeast infections every time."

"I guess it works... but is the increased heart rate/anxiety, tingling skin, night sweats, difficulty sleeping worth it? Glad I stopped after 3 days."

"Would never take this drug again as I have lost the hearing in my 'good' ear after the 3rd dose. Will I recover my hearing, as at the moment my consultant now classes me as profoundly deaf."
