So real and touching and wish everyone would watch

I am so glad I found this documentary. Not only was it informative, but it validates how so many of us feel after taking a fluoroquinolone antibiotic and how hard it is to get people to understand that these are not just rare side effects, they are life changing, debilitating poison and should not be on the market. The doctors are not well informed or have too big of an ego to listen to what patient is telling them while and after taking. Instead of telling you that these ruined my life, which they have for the last couple of years, I am trying to be positive that some good will come out of it and at some point I will feel as close to the person I was before taking as possible. Please listen, please share.

Fortunately, he seems to escaped unscathed

Wish we had known certain things in advance. I am very suseptable to advere reactions to Pharmaceuticals, to the point of reacting to someone in the same household who is taking a Phramaceutical. Last year my husband was treated with Cipro for a urinary infection on top of an enlarged Prostate. Fortunately, he seems to escaped unscathed; I, on the other hand, suffered with a yeast infection, muscle aches and pains and severe headaches and depression. This because I was in close confines with him. Recently. our daughter, suffered through a severe case of Ramsey-Hunt. One of the Pharmas she was put on was Cipro. We all live in the same household, now. She has suffered with memory fog, intense headaches, eczema, diarrhea, muscle and joint pain, anxiety and vomiting. Now that she has been off the drug for the past couple of weeks, these symptoms are beginning to pass. She has been detoxing, which I'm sure has helped. On my part; I again suffered reactions just by being in constant close proximity to someone on this drug, with headache, muscle and joint pain, diarrhea, anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.

I took cipro 1 year and 9 months ago i am still in a great deal of pain. It has ruined my life. It was not appropriate medication for my situation. I hope that the FDA gets ashamed into doing the right thing.

If only I had seen this movie BEFORE I took Levaquin antibiotic:(

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2012

GET THIS DOCUMENTARY - save your life, save a friend, save your family. Lots of good antibiotics out there, these just aren't the good ones! GREAT GREAT DOCUMENTARY - SO WELL DONE! This movie saved my sanity by affirming everything that I already knew was happening to me but couldn't explain. August 23, 2011. The day my life changed forever because I took Levaquin for a simple sinus infection. I only made it 5 days on the prescription before my whole body started shutting down, couldn't walk, ended up in wheelchair, and by the Grace of God, not Dr's, I walk with no wheelchair, walking boots or crutches anymore, but walk with pain and move with pain every single day, but sad to say, I'm one of the "lucky" ones. I'm 40 years old and 6 months before my 40th birthday, Levaquin destroyed my health. I can't work and was very successful. I can't think straight and have brain fog all of the time. I spend much of my days on the couch or in bed from pain. 6 1/2 months later and every day is a struggle. That's great that these drugs can save lives, that need saving. Sure, there's a risk, but if you're dying, you can afford to take a risk. I WASN'T dying - I had a sinus infection and now I'm disabled and Dr's have absolutely no treatment for this devastation. For those that wrote poor reviews, take Levaquin, take lots and lots and lots of Levaquin if you think it's so outrageous. On the other hand, I wouldn't wish this torture on anyone, not even my enemy.
Now if only I had seen this before August 23, 2011...

Well researched and eye opening

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2012

I will never forget the date of 3-1-10. That's the day I took a week long course of Cipro and went from being a very athletic and healthy 42 year old professional to a disabled cripple in one short week. That's how devastating the side effects from these drugs are. Two years have passed since then and I am still in chronic pain with major nerve, tendon and cartilage damage throughout my body. This film does a great job of showing how many people are affected by this class of antibiotics and why the US regulatory system has thus far failed to properly regulate these drugs. It interviews victims, doctors, pharmacists and lawyers to help you make an informed decision on your own health. I wish I'd seen this film before it was too late for me.

This is no joke......

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2012

I'm thankful for it's existence and the existence of the internet for finally realizing what had happened to me. Almost 1 year ago, I was prescribed Cipro for and infection, and by the third day, I was bedridden. I had extreme fatigue, sore heels, and my legs were jelly as if I had just ran a marathon. My doctor was stumped, and test after test showed no issues. After 2 weeks of lying in bed, I was finally able to get up and complete menial tasks. It took me almost 4 months to begin to function daily, and by the grace of God, I am now 80% of where I was before I was floxed. I suffer from ringing in the ears, my quads continue to be weak, and I have permanent peripheral neuropathy and muscle fasiculations. I wouldn't wish my experience on my worst enemy. My biggest fear throughout all of this was that I would become permanently disabled at the age of 35. All I can say is if you need this class of drugs, pray that they don't affect you like they have affected me and countless others.
