I'm on Cipro for an ear infection and it is pretty nasty. Side effects include nightmares, fall asleep after taking, loss of taste and the runs. The good side of all this is that it has fought off the severe outer ear infection within a day. Seems like the cure is worse than the illness but it's not.

Brian, rather than an STD, those symptoms can also be caused by a urinary tract infection and/or a yeast infection, which men can also get. Yeast infections can even be caused by, or aggravated by, antibiotics.

Now, as to blood in your urine, you should not be taking an antibiotic for something like that, without further testing to be sure what is causing it.

Here is the monograph page for Cipro for anyone who needs more information on it:

Hello. I took 5 doses of Cipro 500 for a cough and after the third dose I was already experiencing severe anxiety, which caused me to discontinue the medication. About 5 days after the last dose, my right achilles developed tendinitis and neuropathy on the right foot as well. It has been now 27 days since my last dose and my achilles still hurts and I cant step on that leg. Any suggestions on what to do? When will these symptoms go away? I am very concerned because I have read the FDA stating that these symptoms could be permanent. My physician doesn't seem to have a clue about what happened and I am at a loss as of what to do or what is exactly going on with my body so I can help myself completely heal. Please help. Thank you.

Re: Bernice (# 25)

I think the goal is for you to take your doses approximately 12 hours apart. So, it doesn't matter exactly what time, but you will want to space them out to something like once at 8 am and another at 8 pm ... or once at 9 am and another at 9 pm. Hope that makes sense.

Cipro should not be on the market. Read the BLACK box warning. Or search Cipro poisoning. Please get a different antibiotic.

Can I take Cipro if I think that I have strep throat? I have severe throat pain and ear pain, as well as body aches. I was traveling on a plane and was in the airport for almost 24 hrs. I think I caught something and can't get in with my dr till Monday, but he always gives me this Rx.
