Suggest Treatment For Severe Bladder Infection

I was taking Cipro for a bladder infection but I stopped yesterday because I felt like I wanted to scream. I went to bed last night and my legs were quaking. Today I feel exhausred. Is this part of the Cipro or due to the bladder infection which I probably still have?

hello!
I have been through your question.
Related your concern you should know that use of ciprofloxacin could cause changes in mood or behavior,and some nerves symptoms (being more sensitive to temperature, light touch) as side effects like you have.I suggest for this situation first to talk as soon as possible with your doctor to change the treatment(usually in this case I prescribe bactrim) and not to stop medication immediately by yourself, because severe bladder infection need a complete treatment(5-7 days antibiotic). During this time you should drink a lot of water and tea to clean your bladder from the infection.
I hope my answer help you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
