    i took ciprofloxician on 2 occasions separated by 2 years

    Both times within a very short time I went from normal stress levels to complete mental collapse

    my doctor was entirely convinced but all i know is i took it twice and same result is too much coincidence to ever take again

    good luck and hang in
