I was prescribed Cipro XL 1000 x1 per day for 14 days for a first time acute prostae infection. First night felt a little dizy and moderately depressed. After a few days I noticed that when I was waking up I felt like I was having a mildly nervous twitchy feel. After a week or so I started to have unexplainable arm pain deep in what I now know as to being a tendon. Near the end of my treatment the soles of my feet started hurting regardless if I am standing or sitting. My hands feel stiff and sore however they do in the morning anyways, but the palms of my hands have a tingly burning feel to them as well. About 2 days after finsihing the Cipro I had one of the worst nightmares of my life, and 2 days of headaches, and more depressive moments resulting in making crazy statements to family and friends. Its been 7 days since I finished the Cipro now and my arm is about 75% better but my feet are still very sore with a burning feel. I'm 49 with no chronic illnesses and in excellent physical condition. I have never had a reaction to anything before and am not allergic to anyhting that I know of. I sure hope that this drugs side effects are not long lasting and or life altering in a negative way ? In my opinion this is a drug that should only be given when absoulutely nessasary Take care

hi...i read ur post and was wondering if you has headaches even after stopping Cipro. I took cipro for 7 days and stopped it 3 days ago. But i am still having headaches. How long did it take for your headaches to go away completely.
