Common Antibiotics with a Dangerous Side Effect? 

UTI 2009 .This crap almost killed me, (ciprofloxcin) I’ve done a lot of research on these antibiotics. Taking these meds are a huge gamble. It increases you chances of having an aortic aneurysm significantly because how it breaks down the collagen in your vessel. For me it was the neurological and heart impact that nearly killed me. I spent years trying to find a doctor that was up to date on the side effects of these antibiotics, ten years and twenty doctors later I found one that knew about the damages because he himself had experienced them with levaquin which is another floraquinolon. My advice to you is unless it’s killing you, stay far far far far away from this class of antibiotic. Also if you have suffered damage from these antibiotics , the only thing that has helped me is magnesium supplements. Especially ancient minerals in lotion form. Educate yourself and I think it’s awesome that this info has made its way to a tv show . Maybe this will get the word out and possibly end some needless suffering.

They messed me up. Pains in my hands, feet and heels. It feels like tendonitis possible arthritis the last two years. Dr prescribed different antibiotics for weeks and I ended up taking two rounds of this class of drugs all over supposed sinus infection. She shrugged it off when I asked about the medicine. I haven't been to see her since.

Love this channel , so informative.

What is best for treating a UTI? I'm in pain!

I took Bactrim for 2 days and now my body is no longer able to regulate my heartbeat. If I do any kind of activity, like walking, my heart rate skyrockets and I feel like I'm going to pass out. I went grocery shopping yesterday and had to sit down and drink a Gatorade half way through and barely made it to the cash register. I'm only 43 years old. I took the Bactrim 3 weeks ago for 2 days and there's been no improvement since I stopped. I'm so angry at the nurse practitioner that prescribed it (for an infected tooth.)

I have a bottle of Cipro in front of me right now, Not taking it. Moved to Keflex

For ME, it didn't go away after I was done with it. I took it 5 times (from 4 different drs), which is very telling of how much they are prescribed. These ppl are great drs advising ppl to take precaution about any antibiotics, because they ARE over prescribed, and sometimes without even basic, proper testing. That was done to me with cipro. The first time I took a fluoroquinolone, it was levaquin via IV actually, WHILE I WAS PREGNANT, which is STRONGLY advised against by the FDA even BEFORE the black box warnings "pregnant and breastfeeding women should not take this antibiotic for any means unless death could result." Now my daughter suffers tremendously! She can't even take most other antibiotics, because the previous poisoning of levaquin has caused her to be sensitive to cephalosporin antibiotics like cephalexin and bactrim, it causes her symptoms to flare up tremendously! SINCE the black box warnings were revised to include CNS/nerve damage, other serious debilitating injury and DEATH as a result of this drug's side effects, INFANT/CHILD EAR AND NASAL DROPS WITH CIPRO HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE FDA! So if you think for a second that the FDA is doing its job to PROTECT you and yours from being injured, THINK AGAIN. I can't work anymore because I took this so much, and with each prescription my issues got worse and worse, and I never associated it with these antibiotics, because I never thought antibiotics COULD do such a thing, plus the reactions were slightly delayed until after I had completed the prescription. Now I suffer back, hip and leg pain that you wouldn't BELIEVE, to the point where I can't sit in one position for more than 10 mins at a time, or stand at all for 15 mins without feeling EXCRUCIATING stabbing pains,, burning sensations and numbness that causes me to collapse or nearly collapse! I get headaches on a very regular basis, I can't digest most foods, including fruits and veggies, my eyes can't stand sunlight, I burn after only 20 mins in the sun, my organs are slowly starting to fail, and my brain "looks like an 80 year old's brain with lesions similar to that of a stroke patient" according to my doctor! My daughter has severe insomnia, she also can't digest most foods, her kidneys are slowly failing, she has chronic gastritis, childhood onset arthritis, chronic relapsing muscle inflammation, and recurring anemia, she also doesn't absorb the proper amount of nutrients from food. BEWARE THIS DRUG AND OTHERS! ALWAYS READ THE WARNINGS AND POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS AND TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY!

I have numbness and weakness in part of my leg after a long course of levaquin (mostly IV) This was life saving for me. I had the flu turn into pneumonia and spent 10 days in the ICU and 5 more on a ventilator. My doctors are ignoring the complaints about numbness, tingling, burning etc. 😣

Has anyone heard of Bactrim(used to treat UTIs) causing nerve damage? My wife took Bactrim and is now suffering from nerve and muscle pain.

Omg just got diz med from my Dr yesterday and since this morning I’ve been with krazy symptoms by Luz Negron Holyoke Massachusetts

I also wound up with sepsis several times.

I wonder if this is the reason I have neuropathy? I was on a ventilator in 2020 from pneumacocal pneumonia.

I took 1 pill of ciprofloxacin made me feel weird and was like fuq no, and immediately stopped taking it and started reading about it.

My friend's life was destroyed by a round of Cipro for a UTI. Her body burns and suffers night and day. She was an active, highly productive person before flouroquinolone toxicity poisoned her. Many who were poisoned have died by suicide because the painful suffering is unbearable.

I've been having dialysis for 18 months ... and refusing antibiotics when I develop a mild fever (37.6 has been the max) ... and also when a blood infection has been detected (twice). I use herbal medications ... and they've always worked within a few hours. At the age of 78 I regard antibiotics as a threat to my health ... Gentamicin (one 200mg dose) caused two weeks of "the staggers". The Unit treating me is becoming "hostile" towards me because I won't take their antibiotics ... they say I'm at risk of sepsis.

I thought I was dying. Excruciating pain in joints and acute tendenosis. I hurt all over and couldn’t get out of bed. I will never take levaquin again. Still feeling side effect 8 years later.

They have side effects? Noooo... Really? Maybe thats why I havent taken them for 17 years? And the smart doctors didnt know?

Taking Bactrim and almost done, (on 5th day), but my head feels heavy and tired. Reading all these comments makes me feel regretful big taking this antibiotic, and I'm no fan of the either! My pain had diminished a bit however so maybe it depends on how our bodies react to them.

DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG ITS VILE! I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE ON THIS FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO BREATHE. And not just that but absolute nightmare of a headache, nausea, anxiety, severe chest pain, insomnia, fatigue and just all round general horrible feeling! DO NOT TAKE

Should only 6 500 mg Cipro tabs cause memory and cognitive issues? How about tendon tear?

I took combination of Anabiotic now my stomach is all screwed up big-time and I’m suffering badly hopefully I’m not gonna die I thought about suicide myself because of it Can’t eat can’t sleep Please help me Thank you so much

Theres no help for us.

in my country antibiotic is common for even headache

Don’t take cripo

Why dont they Extract the chemical thats causing the side effects. And reverse it with dandelion root and tamiflu

I have Cipro on my allergy/side effects list. It totally aggravates my tendonitis.

If only we could cure ourselves naturally and normally and not relie on medicines, but modern medicines have helped us live longer ...and have helped us...in the past people died easily ..we forget that.

Well adhd medications can cause seizures and heart problems

Search liposomal. Glutathion

But it's you as doctors to try to figure that out. But instead you have the patient who has to self-diagnose because the medical system is fucked

He has a cold so get better dr. Stork!!!

Nitrofurantoin is very dangerous. I took only 4 tablets over a two day period and this has almost destroyed my liver function. I am constantly tired and in pain. I wish id watched these vids before taking them. If they offer you these for a simple UTI for the love of god please ask them for an alternative. I hope they ban these, i was a relatively healthy person, now im looking at a long and possibly never full recovery. GP clueless 😢
