In November I had epididymitis which was cleared up by 10 days of Cirpo. At the time, I found the Cipro very difficult to take (fatigue, shortness of breath, anxiety) but I did finish the course. Two weeks ago, the symptoms returned. Urologist said my prostate was inflamed and prescribed another course of Cipro. This time, it made me incredibly fatigued. I consulted the doctor and he said to discontinue and watch and see because maybe the inflammation is not an infection. The symptoms did get better for a few days then came back. Urologist advised me to try a lesser dose of Cipro but this time the reaction was even worse: fatigued, nausea, itchy feeling all over (but no rash or hives), shortness of breath, anxiety. I discontinued treatment after two doses and feel fine now, 24 hours later, other than the urological problems.
As a side note, I had prostatitis ten years ago and tolerated floxin well at that time although since it is the same family as Cipro, I guess I can't take it again. I am allergic to sulfa and pennycillin, so not sure what if any options I have left now that I appear unable to take cipro. Anybody have any experience with this or advice? Now I am scared to take any antibiotics! Posted on 02/15/09, 02:02 pm |

I am allergic to the same things you are and the same condition and my doctor retired and the new doctors hand you a pill and if it does not work your in trouble. I know i am in trouble now. A doctor convinced me to try other forms of Cipro as its not a real allergic reaction. I have been using Leviquin for months with no reaction. I am also not cured. Try Norofloxin, leviquin etc. the real cure is to find a doctor who practices old time urology you need to have 3 massages a week for a month but i can't find anyone like that here. There is one in Florida Shockey, and one in Arizona, at Prosititis foundation and in Phillipines they all do it that way. You are my brother i am so sorry you are suffering like i am now.
