Ciprofloxin is an antibiotic, a fluoroquinolone, chemo type drug.
I was inpatient at the hospital this last week due to high fever and abdominal pain, where they discovered via CT scan I have complex diverticulitis.
Immediately, they gave me an IV drip for two different antibiotics to kill my infection.
Flagyl, and Cipro.
I was told my attending nurse they will start me on each one at a time to see if I have a reaction.
I was so heavily doped up on morphine that I couldn't form thought let alone tell them if the drugs were making me worse. And I probably couldn't anyway due to my extreme pain.
After 4 days of being in the hospital with no food or water, 10+ bags of antibiotics, several blown out veins, and barely able to walk or eat I am discharged.
I'm told to go home and take Cipro and flagyl by mouth for two weeks.
I'm disoriented and hallucinating and considering suicide, and panicking constantly.
"Huh wonder what the side effects of these meds are" I says
Flagyl is a known carcinogen, but that's not nearly as horrifying as Ciprofloxin.

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using ciprofloxacin and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
I have stopped taking it and I'm feeling a little more lucid this afternoon.
I hear horror stories of folks permanently disabled mentally, neurologically and physically because of taking as little as two doses of this garbage.
I need an alternative because I still need to kill my infection but I can't even get ahold of a doctor because America ya know
