I was on Cipro (daily dose 1500mg) for over a beginning June 08. I'm petite 5'2" about 98lbs.
My feet started to ache. My knee's ache so much it hurt when walking down the stairs. I lost my appetite and couldn't eat. I would wake up constantly at night. I would sleep for hours on hours but would still feel fatigue when I woke up. I would have vivid nightmares which also disturbed my sleep. I would have trouble remembering things also.
After stopping the med's sometime in July. Most of these symptoms went away. I still have problems remembering things.
Now a new symptom has occurred. My hair is falling out rapidly. Every time I run my hands through my hair around 15-20 strands come out. When I shower my hair clogs the drains. A bunch comes out when I brush it.
I'm scared and wondering if anybody else has had these issues. My doctor is referring me to a dermatologist but the next appt isn't until Sept.
