Adverse Reaction To Cipro (Top voted first)

Updated

Hello, I started taking Cipro for a uti yesterday, and I believe that its causing me to have extreme anxiety attacks. I can't sleep. Can I ask to be switched to another antibiotic, and still have my infection cleared up?

Hello, Stena! How are you?

Yes, you can do that, but it is ultimately up to your doctor and what they feel would be best for you.

Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea and non-allergic skin rash.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Yes, you should definitely ask your doctor to change you to a different antibiotic if you are having anxiety. Cipro can cause a LITANY of side effects, many of them neurologic in nature, and many of them permanent. If you are unfamiliar with the side effects of the Fluoroquinolone drugs, of which cipro is one, then you should read the page below to understand the dangers of the drug you are taking.

Cipro and Levaquin are extremely dangerous drugs that should only be used with great caution. Doctors overuse these drugs, prescribing them twice as much as they should be. Consumers need to be extremely educated about these antibiotics, as they can lead to serious, even lifelong problems.

Stopped taking azithromycin, for fluid in my ear, after the initial 500mg first dose. I was puking all night and had extreme anxiety and nervousness. I asked my Dr fe would switch meds and she did to cefdinir. Will this antibiotic work to treat it also?
