Comment:
Cipro knocked down the infection all right, but after 6 doses I started having joint pain. 3rd day after stopping and I walk around like an old man and I am terrified of long-term disability due to this drug. Tendon requiring surgical repair is a side effect, as it turns out, and could happen months or years later.

Was nervous about taking this med because of all the side effects. Day 2 i had the worst migraine of my life! and I get frequent migranes. It's now day 4 and my legs have cramped up so bad it feels like they are locked. My kidney infection pain is gone but I rather have my back hurt then this leg and head pain.

I would appreciate something different if I haveneed of an timing 6 ho

Comment:
I was given Cipro for a Urinary Tract Infection. I have never had an antibiotic make me so miserable. I've been nothing but very nauseous and dizzy for the past two days. I'm confident that it'll get rid of my infection, but I'm not thrilled that I get to spend the next 3 days feeling sick to my stomach.
