I was prescribed Cipro for a bacterial infection... 4 days ago. Almost immediately I felt like my stomach turned to stone. Zero appetite. I feel like I can't get out of bed in the morning, with a feeling of morning sickness as if I were pregnant. I had nightmares, but I wasn't sure if it was this or a combination of Cipro and Lomotil. I was also given Nexium to counteract the burning feeling from the Cipro. The combo made it worse, making my entire stomach and esophagus turn to steel. It has to be the Cipro that is making me feel this way. It has been 13 hours since the last dose and I still feel like my stomach is full. I find it uncomfortable to even sit down, if I do, I must sit up straight. Or I must stand, but then my back hurts and I have to sit again. I am, for the most part, a healthy 39 year old woman .. Had an antibiotic one year ago after being spurred by a rooster and before that, 7 years ago, for a sinus infection. Pills just aren't for me. Especially this one. Thanks

I too,was also,prescribed Cipro. I suffer from acid reflux & hypertention. Taking my nexium before/after with cipro burned my stomach and felt like I'd been punched right in the gut. Also,after taking my Metroplol minutes/hours before/after cipro made me feel faint. These warnings aren't included w/prescriptions although I have all medicines filed away @ my local Walmart. No more Cipro for me.
