I had a UTI and was given Cipro. I wake up shaking and having chest pain. My elbows hurt and my toes. I had diarrhea and stomach cramps as well as leg cramps. I am almost feeling like I have a panic disorder now, because I am so nervous about nothing. I wake up every night with either the palpitations in my heart. I thought I was having a mitral valve prolapse which I had almost twenty years ago. Now I have developed a spot in my eye like spider webs which now it has turned into a flash of light on the side of my right eye. I believe all this is from the Cipro. I was fine before it.

Advise you to see your Ophthalmologist ASAP! Your eye symptoms could be the result of a detached retina! May just be the vitreous humor pulled away from the retina which is not serious and will go away - but get it checked out RIGHT AWAY -- a detached retina must be addressed immediately to prevent permanent vision loss.

Please go to www.fqresearch.org to get more information on this type of antibiotics - quenelones.

There you will also find links to other interesting sites.

Also read the book "Bitter Pills" by Stephen Fried.

Search on the words - floxed, floxies.

If I remember rigth there is also a site called www.fqvictims.org.

I have neither taken this kind of medication nor worked in the medical field.

I knew someone who used Cipro.

He died earlier this year after several years of medical problems which no-one seemed to relate to his medications.

It´s possible that the combination of cortisone, NSAID (non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs) and Zocor (a lipid lowering drug) made it all worse.

It´s not unusual with psyciatric side effects as anxiety and even psycosis.

But there are a lot more of them, like a syndrom.

My advice - don´t take antibiotics unless it´s really necessary and do some "research" before you take them!

Please have some tests done. Get your eyes checked, have an ekg, have blood tests done for thyroid. Also please send in a medwatch report to www.fda.gov. Good luck and God Bless.
