The Cipro of course, is different. Usually fluoroquinolones need some time for damage...but that may vary amongst individuals.
The author of Bitter Pills, Stephen Fried, said his wife had a seizure on Floxin, and was left with permanent epilepsy from one regular dose.
Sometimes the type of infection is such that you have to take the fluoroquinolone... in that case taking some Vit E may help.
Do not use steroids or NSAIDs while taking either. Those seem to magnify the risk.

I was on BOTH . predisnone as well and celebrex. I only took 4 cipro tabs so hopefully the damage is not long term.
Initially i had tendanitous in both feet( side effect of cipro?). Thought it was gout hence the steroids. The last few days my PN has gone ballastic with crushing vice like pain in the feet , electric shocks, you name it..along with shivers and skin burning around the body etc.
only have 4 more doxycycline (non fluro) 100mg tabs to take to complete the dosage..
