Common Questions and Answers about Cipro and alcohol interaction
cipro
Thanks for the comments anutiejessie!
As an FYI the symptomes never resulted in any pain or white discharge. Just the sensation or needing of a need to urinate but little drops only came out.
With that said could the bacteria be from diet (heavy alcohol intake the prior 5 days)? Could extensive masterbation (3-5 hours/day) cause a prostatis flar up? Or could the latex or spermicide from the condom irritated my urethra and caused the flare up?
It was a one night instant relationship ending just as quickly as it started. It was the first interaction that I had had in four months. We used a condom and I do not aware of any transfer of body fluids.
Later that evening, I questioned the encounter and reacted with extreme hygiene. I showered, soaped, scrubbed, wiped down with an iodine solution, and an alcohol wipe that night. Over the next two days, I repeated the alcohol wipe several times. OK - so a paranoid over-reaction.
Potential side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, headache, and nervousness. Because the combination of chlordiazepoxide and alcohol (ethanol) may impair your judgment and/or reflexes, it may be dangerous to drive or to perform tasks which require you to be alert after taking these together. It would be advisable to avoid consuming alcohol while you are taking chlordiazepoxide.
3 days later i was hospitalized with infectious colitis. stayed 3 days and they did cat scan(radiation) and had me on flagyl and cipro very strong broad spectrum drugs. ever since then i have occasional gut discomfort and diarrhea. lately i seem to have symptoms more often. i went to a gastroenterologist and he suggest limitiing alcohol consumption.. i stopped drinking my beer and drank tons of milk hoping to soothe my stomach..
Alcohol and antidepressants should not be mixed. I'm sure you already know this. Many of these meds go through the liver and so does alcohol. Are you feeling alright? Have you been feeling sick?
I am suffering from depression and anxiety. I recently saw my psychiatrist, and he prescribed Effexor (37.5mg a week until I get to 150mg) to treat these conditions. I have been smoking marijuana regularly (daily) for about 5 years now, and it helps me with my lower back pain that I get from an injury that left me with 4 herniated discs, on top of helping with my depression. Obviously it is not helping enough with the depression to be enough, which is why I went to see my psychiatrist.
Furthermore, the mixture of both antibiotics and alcohol can also have some additional negative effects on the body.
Alcohol and the Effectiveness of Antibiotics
Alcohol does not effect the effectiveness of the majority of antibiotics. However, antibiotics within the tetracycline group, including doxycycline, are hindered by alcohol. If alcohol is consumed while taking a tetraycycline antibiotic, the antibiotic may prove to be less effective at treating the bacteria or virus.
I am currently taking 4 1mg xanax's a day, 80 mg of celexa, 150 mg of welbutrin sr, 30 mg of abilify, and 1 mg of requip. I would like to be able to go out with my friends and be able to have a few drinks for my birthday but I'm scared of the interaction with all this medication and alcohol. What could possibly be the side effects of mixing all of these.
except now I am Keflex for a sinus infection. Yesterday, after I took the meds and then laid down.. and then I turned red, felt super hot (mostly just my head) and felt really dizzy. So I checked my bp and it was 155/111. Because of the meds I take, my bp is generally 90/50... that high if I am lucky. I am wondering what on earth happened. Random? Allergy- how could that be? Drug interaction? Though I am a cracker jack nurse, I am stumped.
Minerals that should be avoided when taking Cipro are iron, calcium, zinc and stomach remedies and also coffee. The antibiotic instructions leaflet does give advice and warnings as to regard to what to avoid, whether it be some types of food, other medications, mineral supplements and also whether to avoid sunshine as this can cause adverse skin reactions.
I have never heard of natural yogurt not being good for anyone (expect those who have an intolerance to lactose and whey).
I will however agree with you that the days after having fun and drinking copious amounts of alcohol can leave you feeling down and anxious. I suffer with anxiety, so when I drink, i'm miserable for typically a few days afterwards. So while drinking may seem like fun while you're enjoying your night, just remember how you're going to feel the following day. I also think depending on how much you drink, you definitely will experience negative reactions.
All tests came back negative, and the doctor put me on Cipro for prostatitis. I took Cipro for 4 weeks,but haven't seen much progress. I am also experiencing a significant amount of anxiety about my exposure. I am certain that I used a condom and there was no penetration without a condom in place- BUT it still seems that I may have contracted something. Obviously my major anxiety surrounds the possibility of contracting HIV.

How dangerous is it really drinking alcohol and depakote.
