As bad as it was, and perhaps needing
a warning for very unpleasant side effects,
CIPRO came nothing to NOT taking my drugs
or withdrawing from them. I have taken
better antibiotics and next time if i need
one i will ask for something lighter.But it was not horrible like clonazepam
withdrawal -- just made sick like i had
a very bad flu and chest congestion, and
headache.Probably killed every bug in my body --
nobody can bug me now, i hope lol!Squiggles
