Cipro and anxiety

Took it in August this year.

Developed raging anxiety, insomnia, memory loss, muscle twitches, weakness, nausea, lost myself, my job and almost my husband.

I'm on Benzos now.

Thanks Cipro and your makers, you took my life from me

After being diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, I was given Cipro at the hospital. My heart started racing to the point that it was hard to breath. After a while, this symptom went away. Three days later, after continuing to take Cipro, I started to feel tingling sensations all over my body, and a fiery burning sensation on my right lower back. I also had patches of numb areas all over, and suffered from muscular spasms. I developed horrible agitation episodes and tachycardia. I had rushing thoughts going through my mind and felt like running away. At some point, I felt as if I was about to have a convulsion. The doctors deny that these are side effects of Cipro and think I am suffering from anxiety. I have had anxiety before, but who hasn't? It is too much of a coincidence to have all these symptoms together right while taking Cipro.

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.

this is the worst drug i have ever experienced, finished 28 day cycle in november 05 for prostate problems, since then i have been on buspar and xanax for anxiety and twitching! I have limbs that will go numb for no apparent reason, insomnia, terrible dreams, shortness of breath and so on. I have good days and bad...some days i feel normal and the next i will have internal shakiness, muscle spasms, feeling of fear and anxiety. I am a 39 year old male who used to be up for just about anything, now i cannot even make it through most days without wanting to curl into a ball....DO NOT TAKE THIS CRAP....I will suffer before ever taking this again!!!!!
