any side effects?
Im traveling in mexico and got pretty sick (my best guess is it was 'Travelers Diarrhea' or maybe food poisioning) I went to the pharmacy and got 500mg Cipro pills. I took one and got a horrible headache and vomitted alot. My symptoms seem to be gone however would it be a bad idea to stop taking the Cipro? I know people say you should always finish a course of antibiotics but in this case I dont know if I need them.
Also, I am being treated with Cipro, which I just took a round of that for a UT about 2.5 months ago. Should I be repeating the same antibotic so soon, and will it be as effective if I do.
I took 1 dose of 500mg Cipro Friday night at 5:30p.m. Immediately felt flushed and red in the face.
I continue to have flare ups 3 days later. How long does this take to go away.
Do cipro cause vaginal discharge and oder and disconfort in my stomach and back and sluggishness?

Hi,
I have problems with UTI and kidney infections on a regular basis. I have been on Cipro on and off since 1994. Cipro has allways worked very well for me. I have not experienced side effects from this drug. I have had other antibiotics prescribed to me that did have some negative side effects. In my case Sulfa drugs causes hives.
From 1994 up to 2003, I used to come down with UTI and kidney infections that required hospitalizations with a frequency of about every 3 to 4 months.
Yes Cipro can definately cause rythm issues. I cant remember where I read this but my doctor was going to give it to me until I showed him the info (that he did not have himself). So yes---In fact--since you brought it up--I have a new group called side effects of medications. Feel free to post your side effects there.
is it safe to take 125 mg of cipro each day for 6 months I was prescribed this for a UTI that keeps coming back. Also the pharmacy that filled the prescription gave me 250mg tablets and told me they aren't made in 125mg. and for me to break in half . But the info that comes with the meds says not to break.crush, or chew.
I keep hearing that 20-30 mgs of HC is the standarad dosage for most people---but that a few people need as much as 35-40 mgs. I have come to the conclusion that I am one of those people who needs more HC. I was discussing it with my GI/internist. He agreed that it did not sound like I was being treated adequately. I have developed such a problem with eosinophils in my esophagus--AI can cause increased eosinophils. I have next to no appetite, which can also be an AI symptom.
I used Lortab 6 yrs ago for back pain, about 6 weeks 10 mg at night, had no problem stopping then, have used some HC cough syrups overthe years for 1-2 weeks, just at night. About a month ago Iused the HC syrup for cold and cough, but kept using it 3 or 4 nights a week for sleep (about 10 mg HC). Over the last week of this anxiety and night time waking, I started the HC syrup again, and would sleep like a baby all night.
I usually have water retention, even without medication. So I reduced to very low HC dosage. I felt good on HC with less muscle stiffness and pain and just felt relaxed, as if I was in a roller coaster and now it is slowing down. After 3 days of taking HC, I again started thyroid hormone, one cap in the morning. Now I am feeling exhausted and very tired and brain fogged. Even more than before.
My sodium is 136 and potassium is 3.6, both are lower normal. Even then i get water retention.
She told me I can take one 4mg medrol tonight (which is the equivalent of 20mg of HC which would be a whole day dose). Does that sound like too much at once? I was worried I'd get a rebound hypoglycemia from that...
It is hard to get the balance of HC versus Levo...goodness. Now that I am on 12mcg, when I take my HC I feel like my thyroid meds are blunted...then when the HC wears off a little...I feel great, then when I am due for my next dose, I feel a little odd. I am currently dosing 7.5,5,5,2.5. I take the 12mcg before bed..I prefer this.
I tried Armour 1/4 grain..and the T3 is too much and there is not enough T4 in it so I feel a lot more hypo about 2 hours after I take it.
m having is that I took HC for low cortisol but taking the HC raised my adrenal output where I was over producing cortisol above the reference range of a cortisol saliva test.
Now I've reached 7.5mg I'm finding that I'm getting hypo symptoms, i.e. dry skin, hair loss and eyelash/brow lost. I'm on a combo of T4 and T3. My thyroid blood test are all good. TSH 0.01 (0.3 - 5.5) FT4 14.1 (9 - 25) and FT3 5.2 (2.5 - 6.
How can I tell if I'm at the right dosage of HC? worsening swelling , irritable and agitated at times, gained 2 lbs. in 1 wk since starting, feel odd. vision worse, off balance worse. 20mg. HC [10,5,5] 5'1, normal weight 105, now 129, rapidly gained in 2010. Just diagnosed. Concern over blurred vision and dizzy headaches, which have been there for months. Intersellar Arachnoid cyst, with neurological symptoms starting in 2009. cyst gone,now.
Iam Graves post RAI plus had adrenal crisis on HC for a year. A naturopath did accupuncture for
Adrenals. It went wrong caused 2 nd adrenal crisis.
He had me take up to 75 mcg of cytomel a day for 4 weeks.
Said it would help. I can't believe I allowed and thought this would help.
I've lowered my dose of armour for 10 months, I'm still very over medicated
And "tissue stimulation". I'm bedbound and have caregiver.
