Re. Cipro.

I am thinking back to around the time of my first signs of neuropathy.
I had at that time just had 2 or 3 incidents of UTI for which I had been prescribed Cipro each time.
It could just be a coincident perhaps, but it make me wonder.
I am allergic to Sulfa, so I do not have a lot of choices. I think Keflex and Nitrofurantoin might be on such list too, I am not sure.
I have looked at the lists of meds causing neuropathy.

This is a question of another med (unrelated to UTI symptoms): The med called Dimenhydrinate, is it related any such lists of neuropathy causing meds?
Does anyone know??

Keflex should be okay. So is doxycycline, for UTIs.

Dimenhydrinate is Dramamine...and is related to Benadryl, which are both first generation antihistamines. I have not seen it on lists of drugs that cause PN however.
