Meds causing leg cramps..........
| Sun, 01-22-2006 - 4:17pm |
Well I posted a reply to my first post and its
ahhh gone. I found out that taking cipro and
drinking caffine will cause extreamly bad leg
cramps. I think back to about a year or so ago
to when I started getting cipro instead of macobid
that was when I got bad leg cramps. The macrobid
did not clear up my infections. I have messed up
taking me meds this time becuz darvcet and cipro
pills look almost identical. I was taking darvcet
instead cipro by mistake. So my infection is going
to come back. The last 2 times in a row I have had
these infections the pain was so bad I had to have
heavy duty pain killers at the ER. I am getting so
sick of getting these infections. I just wish I
could get a lifetime persciption for cipro. My
obgyn suggested that I see a doctor that will
write me a script for several refills at a time
for my problem.

I'm glad you found out what was causing your leg cramps.
I hope you get that script ASAP.

Hi citygrl22,
I am glad you figured out what was causing leg cramps. Just make sure that you take a good probiotic while and after taking Cipro. Antibiotics not only kill the bad bacteria but also the good bacteria leaving you open for other infections or candida overgrowth.
