Need help with info on this drug, and what may be happening to me now. Took this drug in 1995 when a mysterious uti popped up and would not go away for 4 months. After 4 months decided to change way of thinking and pain went away. (Maybe it was psychosomatic, I had broken up with a long time recently girlfriend and was afraid she gave me something.) I am a by nature a very calm laid back person, but a few months after taking this medication I was coming home from the gym and my hands started to go numb, I almost made it home when i had to pull over and I started to shake and convulse. I had trouble driving for about 3 months after this episode, especiialy if I were in traffic. The condition went away, condition came back in 2003 and I became a full blown agorophobic, and would get panic attacks 10 times or more a day. Went thru the anxiety training to calm myself down and I got over it slowly, although it does come back from time to time. Over the years have been taking the drug cyprofloxin for prostate problems, and just recently had noticed i had a reaction to it. Took a small small tiny amount of cipro (I had cut) a week ago and an hour later had a full BLOWN panic attack where it felt as though my heart was coming out of my chest and I was shaking so bad that i cut open a benedryl and took it to counteract the medicine. I have always wondered why such a laid back person as myself has an anxiety condition, till it hit me today with putting my recent reaction to taking cipro to when I started the floxin drug years ago. could tehse drugs be causing the whole problem and have they done permanent damage that I must live with this the rest of my life? Just to let you know, those drugs for anxiety never helped me either, and a 6 week dosage schedule of paxil did worse for my body than anything else before it. Has anyone else gone thru this?
