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.
I have recently stopped Effexor XR (150mg) and started Emsam (6mg). I have been off the effexor for 5 days and I am having "brain zaps." My question is, how long will these "brain Zaps last?" I go to school, and need to be able to function. Please email me at ***@**** for any insight.

Only visual symptom is a slightly swollen/darker meatus that is not painful to touch. I noticed that Cipro seemed to be the most effective drug and that seemed odd because cipro is not the recommended treatment against NGU infections. Should I take a herpes blood test and if so how long should I wait? Or could this be some other kind of infection or virus?
SEROQUEL is approved to treat the depressive episodes and the acute manic episodes in bipolar disorder and to treat schizophrenia. SEROQUEL XR is a once daily tablet approved only to treat schizophrenia
Antidepressants have increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and actions in some children, teenagers, and young adults.
My father is on the drug too and he also has vertigo bad and uses a cane. It could be the lamictal though BTW he takes generic do you?
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.
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 already have an appointment with the urologist in a couple of weeks but wanted to know if an std test would be accurate at this time just for peace of mind. Not sure how long to wait post finishing cipro for a chlamydia test to be accurate. I'm aware cipro wouldn't cure chlamydia. Also, I was tested for HIV back in april and it was no reactive so I'm not worried there.
after the encounter i freeked out and uses purell all over my penis including the tip... the very next day i had a slight twinge after urination, at 2 weeks the twinge was occasional, i went to my urologist and he tested me for stds, i cam up positive for hsv 1 and i had a low level of hsv 2, i was neg for gon and clam and hiv. i never knew i had hsv untill that day. obviously this but my paraoia on high alert.
I am been taking 300 mg of Effexor XR for approximately two years continuously. I now must stop cold turkey for I recently lost my prescription coverage insurance. I know the symptoms but have never stopped taking without being "weened" of the med. Are there any other symptoms that might be more serious that I should be aware? Is it true that withdrawing from Effexor can be life threating?
I'm on Norpace XR (anti-arrythmic) for Afib and I'm not supposed to take any of the antibiotics ending in "mycin" or Biaxin. Another post on this board said they landed in ICU after doing just that. It can cause a fatal heart rhythm.
Another recent post suggested that one should double check with the doctor and/or pharmacist because there is some data that says some antibiotics are more likely to cause trouble than others.
Over the past 4 months, I have slowly withdrawn from Effexor XR (75 mg) which I was on for 3 years. I am now 2 weeks with no medication. I tolerated the symptoms of withdrawl but now am feeling a return to my "waves" of anxiety and wonder how long it might take to reregulate my body. I also spoke with my doctor who recommended 5htp and wonder about its use.
