Peale replied: "Stop taking it immediately! There are other antibiotics that can help with your UTI. Cipro, and other antibiotics in the same family (known as fluoroquinolones) are supposed to be "last ditch, he's going to die if we don't get this infection under control", but unfortunately doctors prescribe them like they're candy.
I also took Cipro for a UTI. I was having anxiety attacks, trouble breathing, massive depression. Then I started doing research and learned for myself the short - and long - term side effects.
Don't be surprised after a couple months after taking these pills you start developing joint pain, muscle aches and a host of other problems. A month after my last pill all my muscles and joints ached quite badly. They still do, and from what I read, I've got another few years of this to look forward to (though it does get better over time).
Check out the sites I referenced. There's a lot of information available."
side effect or more of Ciprofloxacin HCL? Two days ago I went to urgent care after having a bladder infection for 2 weeks that quickly turned into a kidney infection. I had a fever of 103, chills, nausea, the whole nine yards...everything but a headache. Normally I get UTI's every 3 months on average so when I was prescribed Cipro it was nothing new, and every time before I've never had any side effects. This is day two of taking Ciprofloxacin HCL 500 this time around and I've never had a worse headache in my life I think. The back of my neck is really stiff and sore, the pain is very sharp at my temples, and it generally just feels like my brain is trying to push its way out of my skull through my forehead. I get dizzy/disoriented also at random times. I've been drinking tons of water, eating just fine, all symptoms of my kidney infection are gone, its just this headache and I have 8 more days of meds to take. I'd call the Dr. to ask but I hate being that whiny hypochondriac and I'm just looking for some opinions I guess. Oh, extra strength Tylenol (2 pills) does nothing for this. Thanks if you can help.

How long can skin remain sensitive to sunlight after a course of Ciprofloxacin? I have recently taken a months course of Ciprofloxacin and have heard it cause your skin to be sensitive to sun exposure. I have heard this can last up to 7 months!!!!!
I am going on holiday in 4 weeks and would like to know if the side effects are anything i should be concerned about. I do intend on sunbathing.
Thanks

You can go tanning just apply a thin layer of sunscreen, and it only makes SOME poeple sensitive to the sun, not all."
