| Add Ciprofloxacin review cipro 500 mg for 7 days after the first day everything went away but now its about 2 weeks later and i believe its coming back! i did have slight nausea,dizziness and drowsiness. felt like i was walking around in a haze, i will deff be contacting my docter again, not happy with the results and deff in more pain! I am on my fourth day of taking Cipro. My doctor prescribed it for a UTI. The first two days were okay, but starting on the third day, the side effects became worse. I was somewhat weak the first couple of days, but after that I have lived in a "Fog"!! I feel very lightheaded, and have minor, but irritating headaches. I dread taking it in the morning because I know that my day is going ... Swallowing muscles hurt..severe pain when swallowing. I have MS. I stopped taking drug for 1/2 day and throat cleared up...problem not MS.Nothing is worse than getting up every fifteen minutes because of Urinary infection. Had to have two treatments before this RX worked This is my second round on this drug. I take 2 500mg capsules a day for three days. I have noticed dizziness, some stomach cramping. My legs and arms are stiff, however, I do have MS..soo it might be the MS. I had to go off my tizanidine to take this drug, therefore I am experiencing muscle stiffness and sleeplessness. My infection cleared up in the first day!! I just wish I could take my other me ... | Add Penicillin review I have taken Penicillin VK for tooth infection. This medication works very effectively for the infection. I have seen many comments on this drug with people saying they are still in pain. Pen VK does not treat the pain of the tooth infection it just takes care of the infection. I would be better to ask your dentist or doctor for a pain medication to take with the Pen VK. The only time Pen VK gives pain relief is when the infection is gone. just started, can't say if its doing what it should. only on my second day and already having bad issues with diarrhea and my throat is really sore. had to miss work, and taking the pill every 6hrs is annoying. I will have to talk to my dentist to see if there is something else with less side effects.. I was prescribed this medication after an attempted root canal,which the doctor broke my tooth,and I ended up getting surgery from another doctor. It was for infection,and worked good in that respect. It was not for pain. | |||
