fatigue and arms and leg weakness 2 weeks after Cipro

Hi All

I wish I really read this section before taking Ciprofloxacin 500mg (twice daily) for 14 days, I was prescribed it for suspected UTI / Prostatitis.

I thought my body was tolerating it fairly well, about 10 days after stopping, I discovered my anxiety levels were really high, (ok I can get anxious sometimes), but this was really heightened, I noticed that when I get very high anxious I get very jittery, like \ I can't sit still, have to move my legs, which I never had before. I did take some Ibuprofen after I stopped Cipro, but not during it.

Also, the major thing I have noticed is fatigue, mainly in my arms and legs. It feels like a very minor tingle, (though my arms are not trembling), I can only describe it like when your really hungry and feels like your muscles are tremoring because of no energy, when you use them, which also comes with a slight brain fog, again things I never had prior.

I am very much hoping these symptoms will ease and go away, I am even more annoyed, as I questioned this prior with my GP and she said drug is ok, but just monitor tendon pain, which I didn’t get during the initial dosage.

I am taking magnesium and now B12 supplement, but I suppose the damage could be already done? Anything more I can do to assist myself?
