Any Experience with Ciprofloxacin?

Ciprofloxacin absolutely destroyed me. Paralysed my abdominal Anne upper back muscles so bad they actually tore . Since them I have had progressive neuropathy muscle weakness and wasting blood flow problems sever insomnia and much more. This is not rare for this antibiotic to do this it’s just massively underreported.
Check out the face book support groups. These side effects can show up immediately or months later. This poison should have been banned years ago.
Get a culture done for microbacterium it can take six weeks
Until then I would avoid or ask for a safer antibiotic.
Untargeted antibiotics can do more harm than good.

I am so very sorry that was your experience. 🙏
Thank you to giving me your feedback.. I have decided to copy people's responses and forward them to the Doctor who prescribed this. He should know.
I can't wait to get off this antibiotic and hope that it doesn't do me any damage. I do seem to be improving after 3 days on it.
I spoke to the nurse at the Bronchiestases clinic at the hospital today and she said it was a strange thing for the Dr to prescribe...we are waiting for a few days to see if a sputum culture I presented on Saturday shows anything before she gets advice from Dr Waring (hospital Be expert) on where to from here.
Wishing you all the best.
